Wake up, it is raining here, and it is still a great day, for the Sunshine in my heart, is warming, dry, and gracious,,, for He is in charge,,, and with Him at my side, I just close my eyes, and say, "Thank You , my Lord, for being with me today!f". As you climb to the top of this "hump day" of the week, and as you wake up, and look up , not as you climb to the top, but to plan your "rest of the weeks" slide down,, with Him in all you do.... and then you are able to look up also,, as you slide down ,, right? So, as you open them,, this great Gods' day, ask Him to come on along with you this day,, of His!!! o.k.? THE BLESSINGS OF THIS ERA! I talk a lot of the good old days , of when I was a young boy, the things I look back on, of how good it was, and that good , I will still say, was safer in my community , which span a 5 mile radius,, quite a size, huh? We could walk from one end to the next, alone at 6+ years old, and our Moms or Dads did not have to worry about perverts, or kidnapping, why,, well all the neighbors knew each other, and all the crooks knew that they all had a gun or ten, in their homes, and that they looked after each other... so they did not dare try any of these crazy things... and it came down to parent care, and help and watch after your neighbor! I do not want to go back to the no t.v. no telephone, no washing machine, the ole dryer we had, was a clothes line... no central heat, nor any A.C. and we had only one small fan, for the one plug,, of four....no running water...(except the spring, down in the pasture),, no car, no tractor, but we had chickens, cow, and a mule, a wagon, and we were better off than some others.. and I do not look down on this life, I loved it,, for there was much love in our Home, and our neighborhood, and the Love of God was taught ,,, not only on Sunday, but at our home it was taught at each meal, every day,,, and anywhere we was at, our Lord was Thanked for what we ate, and what we had,,,prayer in our home was a done deal,, it was just done in thanks and faith! Now, I don't want the things of old, but the environment only, and the teachings of our parents , and teachers, and the people that surrounded us,, our officials, our President, our Congress, well these were the people of greatness ,, way back then, gun control,,, was in control of the people ,just as our forefathers designed it... but, I will take most, and I said "Most" of the modern accommodations.. how about you who was born before the "chip", and the move of the "apple" revolution,, I stay with THE KISS METHOD,,"KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID",,AS I DO ACCEPT SOME OF THE MODERNISTICS'! Lord, thank You for all we have, just give us the common, and the good sense to use Your great gifts, as You want us to us them, not what we want , ,for our own gain,, amen John HIcks A proud American, of his heritage, and thankful to my God, for a set of the greatest parents of all times, but I am prejudice, probably so are you, and for the old timers , such as I, you are fortunate of a great era,,,, that will never be repeated ,, and for the young,, it is your world, to help form, with the Lord, or destroy it with greed and corruption... think about it! Your choice , your stand!! For who you choose, or whom you stand for or with, will determine your kids destiny, so think before you act,,, or re-act! Have a great God's day! ");
