The Double Nickel

It's Just A Number. If You Asked Me 20 Years Ago If 55 Was Old I Would Most Likely Say On The Way To Getting There. Being There Doesn't Seem That Bad. I Have Plenty Of Old Folks Who Surround My Life It Make Me Feel Younger Every Time I'm Around Them. Hehe.
Honestly My Friends, With The World Changing Like It Has I Am Thankful For Each Day God Has Granted Me. I'm Blessed With Good Health.
Tomorrow Marks The Start Of A Different Lifestyle For Me. I Want To Lose As Much Weight As I Possibly Can Over The Next 6 Months. Saying No To Those Intimidating Foods That Have Called Me By Name For Many Years Will Be A Challenge.
I Read Many Birthday Wishes On Facebook Today Reminding Me Of The Wonderful People That Surround My Life. What Would I Do Without Them?

Ice Cream!

I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream For Ice Cream! Maybe That's What Tune My Grandson Hums As He Rides With His Dad In His Ice Cream Truck.
I Was Told A Few Days Ago That My Grandson Was Spotted Helping His Dad Serve Ice Cream As A Part Time Job. How Cool Is That? That Must Be The Ultimate Job To Have As A Kid Growing Up. I Also Worked A Couple Weeks On An Ice Cream Truck When I Was Just A Kid.
I Asked Him About His New Job And He Just Grinned From Ear To Ear. When You Are Eight Years Old There Aren't Too Many Jobs Available.
Can You Get Tired Of Eating Ice Cream?

What's The Matter With Me??

The Next Post You Read Will Tell You About The 5th Season. What Was I Thinking? Ofcourse In Illinois We Have The Opportunity To Experience All 4 Of The Seasons But I Forgot To Mention The Most Important Season Of All! Mushroom Season! Every April I Live For Mushroom Hunting. I'm Surprised My Phone Didn't Ring Off The Hook By People Who Know Me Best Asking Me If I No longer Hunt Mushrooms. Ever Since I Broke My Glasses I felt My Life Has Been Turned Upside Down. I Picked Up My Son And Drove To Our Spot In Indiana. I Might As Well Forget About Searching For Them Until We Get A Good Rain. Being Color Blind Is Bad Enough But Now I Am Vision Impaired. My Only Hope Is For The Yellow Sponge To Sprout Up. Once They Do I Am Sure Glasses Or No Glasses I Will Be Able To Spot Them. Right Now Only Blacks And Greys Are Up And I Just Cannot Spot Them. Bobby Didn't Find Any Either So I Know It's Not My Eye Sight. We Need Another Good Rainfall, Then Maybe I Can Look Forward To Frying Some Up. I Sure Am Looking Forward To It.

5 Seasons

Besides Spring, Summer, Fall And Winter The Only Other "Real" Season Is Bowling Season.
It Came To An End Yesterday For The Senior League I Bowl On. I Have One More Banquet To Attend This Coming Tuesday Which Will Mark The Official End Of Bowling Season.
When It Comes To Bowling I Have Perfect Attendance. I Know My Attendance Is Perfect Through Five Years On The Senior League.
I Will Try To Practice Once A Week Through The Summer Months So I Won't Be Too Stale When It Comes To Bowling Again In August When The League Starts Back Up.
In The Meantime I Have A Senior Bowling Tournement Approaching A Week From Now.
The Past Couple Of Weeks I Have Been Bowling Way Below My Average. Just Three Weeks Ago My Average Was A 174. I Broke My Eye Glasses A Couple Weeks Ago And That Is Why My Bowling Has Sucked So Bad. To Lower Your Average By Two Points This Late Into The Season You Really Have To Bowl Bad. This Upcoming Tournement Has Me Worried Because I Think I Am Wasting My Money. I'm A Little Timid In Asking For A Refund So I Think I Will Tuff It Out And Let The Chip Fall As They May.
No Matter How This Plays Out The Good Part Will Be My Brother And Mother Will Be In This Tournement As Well. So Actually I Won't Have To Place To Have Fun. I Will Be Laying Down The Foundation For Tomorrow's Memory. That In Itself Is Worth It All.

He Has Risen! There Is Hope!

I Attended The Community Easter Service At The Civic Center. It Was Not Only Inspirational, It Was Uplifting And Spiritual. My Heart Was Touched When I Saw The Youth Participation In This Program. It Gave Me Comfort For The Future. I'm Sure I Am Not The Only One Who Worries About Our Spiritual Future.
I Have Never Been An Outspoken Advocate Of Jesus Christ. However, Those Who Know Me Best Know I Believe In Jesus Christ The Son Of God Who Died On The Cross. His Resurrection That Sunday After He Died Was The Biggest Miracle Delivered From God.
My Belief Is You Must Be Saved And Believe In Jesus Christ In Order To Enter The Gates Of Heaven. I Also Believe You Must Be Baptised In The Name Of The Father, The Son And The Holy Spirit.
I Was Baptised When I Was A Teenager. I Knew The Lifetime Commitment I Made That Day. I Do However Believe Circumstances Can Change In A Person's Life That Would Make One To Believe It's A Possibility A Sin Could Keep You From Entering Heaven's Gate. I Want To Spend Eternity With My Maker And My Loved Ones Who Have Departed Before Me. Even The Slightest Doubt Could Easily Prevent Me From Reaching The Pearly Gates.
My Decision To Be Baptized Again When I Was An Adult Was Criticized By A Family Member. Some Believe You Only Need To Be Baptized Once. That's Ok. That's Cool. What Has That Got To Do With My Belief? I Wanted To Cleanse My Soul Again. I Wanted A Closer Relationship With My Lord. Being Baptized For The Second Time Gave My Soul The Comfort I Was Seeking.
My Relationship With God Is A Personal One. My Faith Tells Me To Be Forgiving.
I Want My Readers To Know God. I Hope Those Who Also Believe In God And How Jesus Christ Died On The Cross For Our Sins, Know That Easter Should Be The Holiest Day Of The Year.
He Has Risen! He Has Risen!
