My document-This I Believe

Dear God this is what I believe:

I believe God is the great creator of heaven and earth and everything that lives with in it. I believe God loves us so much that he sent his only begotten son on earth to die for our sins. I believe they crucified my Lord Jesus on that horrible cross. He shed his blood for me that I may have eternal life. I believe they buried him in a tomb and he rose on the third day. I believe that he lived forty days on earth after resurrection. I believe that he ascended up in to the sky and in to heaven. I believe Jesus is sitting on the right hand of God in heaven. I believe that he will come back soon to receive all believers to cone live with him in heaven. I believe that I will be one of the believers that will meet him in the sky. I believe in the trinity, even though the word trinity is not recorded in the bible. There are many scriptures that described the trinity in the bible. I believe that God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost are all the same.

I believe that the holy bible is literally true. I believe that God inspired every verse that is recorded in the bible I literally accept Jesus as my Lord and savior. I believe Jesus walked on this earth and preached and taught us how we can be a child of God. I believe that there is a HELL. I believe there is a HEAVEN. I believe that we have to make the choice where we want to go. I know that I am a child of God, and I know that I am going to heaven when I die. Thanks God for you’re wholly word.
Amen—

My document of Motives

Motives


Heavenly Father my computer devotional this morning was about our motives and it caused me to exanimate my self and ask my self why do I do what I do. Is it because I want to please God, Is it because I think he expects it of me, is it because it makes me feel good, is it because I want to show my self off and show my expertise and strength, do I try to be a Christian example before others?


Dear God in my final analysis I have come to the conclusion that most of all of the above is true. I certainly do want to please God in everything that I do, but I find my self-doing some of it according to my only will instead of his will for me. Dear God forgive me for being disobediently from your will for me, I frequently talk and consult the Holy Spirit for guidance and advise me and give me directions on what and how I do things.

I know Dear Jesus that you want me to tell others about the good news, how to be saved, how to love you and trust you and minister to people that do not know you. I do a little but it is so very little, sometime I thank that I am cable of doing so very much more.

Dear Jesus Yes it does make me feel good inside and we let the sinful pride get in to our heart and mind and soul and we want to be recognized and be looked up as it was our effort, when it should have been the praise to you dear Jesus. There is nothing that I can do without the blessings from you. I do want to be an example of a devout Christian before everyone that I come in contact with. Dear God I feel so insufficient of what you expect of me, I fall so short of what I would like to be in serving you better. But dear Jesus I am still learning and working to be like you. I read your good book ever day from morning to evening, so I will be there when the roll is called over yonder I will be there.

This prayer is written under the direction of the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ my savior.

My Christmas Story For 2009

Heavenly Father I come to you this Christmas, I come telling you how much I love you and how I praise your name, you have blessed my family and me so wonderfully this year. This is a time that we should take time and inventory and analysis ourselves and see how obediently we have been to you and your will for us. Dear God I am afraid dear God that I have been negligent that I have fallen very short for what you expect of me this year, I apologize and ask you to forgive me, and I will strive to improve next year.

Heavenly Father I want to please you in ever way, I want to be obedient to your every will and command, but I am so weak in my faith to you, I just stumble and fall. Dear Jesus I have grown tremendously in faith to you this year just as I have for the past thirty years, but I still have a long way to be where I want to be, I want to be just like you dear Jesus, I want to live with you in Heaven for eternity.

I am just a poor sinner that is striving to be obedient to your will for me, and there is so much temptation in this old wicked world and sometime it overtakes me and that is a reason that I need a savior like you to lead and guide me and forgive me of all my sins. Thank you Jesus that you give me the Holy Ghost as a helper that dwells in my heart mind and soul that’s leads and guides me every day.


This is the season and the time that we celebrate the birth of my savior Jesus Christ. This is the date December 25th. Has been designated as birthday of Jesus Christ, but my bible does not reveal to me what date he was born. It doe’s not matter to me and I have celebrated it for eighty-seven years and I will continue to celebrate it as long as I live. Infect I celebrate the birth of Jesus every day and all thru the day and especially in my nightly prayer.

I do not decorate trees every day like I do for the designated day of December 25th. But I talk to you dear God to you Jesus and the Holy Spirit in my room and especially when I sit under my shade tree listening to some wonderful gospel songs. What a blessings it is to talk with you listening some good gospel words being said in the songs, and gazing up in the beautiful sky and wondering dear Jesus when you are coming back to get me. It doesn’t get any better then that.

GIFTS

What is important to me is that he was born and he is my lord savior. I do not know why or how giving gifts at Christmas originated, I guess it is because some wise men brought gifts to Jesus after his birth, I think that is a good example to remember the birth of Jesus. I think it is a wonderful gesture that we give gifts to our family members our friends and neighbors to express our love and compassion to them, but not because we feel obligated so, not because someone gave you one before, do it for love and compassion to them, I believe that Jesus would be more pleased if we would give inexpensive less costly gifts, we can not buy our friendship, the same as we can not buy our Christianity. Love is a free gift, Jesus gives us his love and he will give you Christianity if you will ask him for it.
Giving and sending Christmas cards is the same way for me, I thank that is a wonderful gesture but the Government has now made it so expensive it takes away the love and joy; I wonder what Jesus would say about that. Thank God for our computers because we can send Christmas greetings on our computers this year, I don’t know if the Government will take that freedom from us another year.



I enjoy it when we celebrate Christmas by decorate trees and buying inexpensive gifts for family members and put them under the tree and the birth of Jesus is in our minds and thoughts. Now I enjoy a pretty decorated tree with all the ornaments on it and the pretty lights and parsing the birth of Jesus, but don’t do it to try to over shine your friends and neighbors. My bible does not tell me that Jesus does not want us need to do any of these things to celebrate his birth or his life on earth, or his death, or his restoration.

My bible tells me that Jesus came here from heaven thru the virgin birth and his primary job was to die for our sins, and teach us and show us how we can have eternity life in heaven with him if we will believe in him and obey his commandments.

Now let me be a little bold, as the apostle Paul was very bold talking to his churches, Jesus refuted Peter on occasions, so I John Davidson, still have the freedom to criticizes the ACLU, the GOVERNMENT, every one that does not believe in God, and anyone that does not celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, and the SUPREM-COURT that does not have the wisdom to interpret Gods laws, and they are obviously being paid by the ACLU to do what they want them to do for them. For God help us.

May I brag a tiny little bit, I cannot preach like the disciple Peter, and I cannot pray like apostle Paul, I just take my sins to Jesus because he died for us all. Once on time some people were criticizing the great coach Paul Bryant of the University of Alabama for bragging for his football players and he stated to them that bragging is not bragging if it is true. So what I am writing it is all true. The great apostle Paul explained to the Corinthians how he was treated and what he had done in the name of our Lord. So I am not bragging for what little I may have done I did it in the name of my Lord and to please him.


My Testimony

I joined the church in about the year of 1938, when I would have been the age of 16 years of age. It was a country church in a sawmill town and was built and given to us by the owner of the company, and it was no particular denomination, we all called it our church. When we had particular revivals of any denomination most everyone would attend regardless what denomination it was. I joined the Baptist church in a Baptist revival, probably because my Mother and Father was Baptist. My life style did not change very much, I was not considered to be a very bad person before and I already knew who God and Jesus was because our parents read us from the bible. I do not believe that I considered being a born again Christian at that particular time, I believed. I prayed some of time. This was in the depressions years and we seldom had a paid minister most of the time they were paid by a revival by donations from passing around the hat. I still remember it to be the old time religion.

I then went in to the army when I was 20 years old and I still was considered to be a pretty good god lad. Being getting out in to the big wicked world I begin to partake in to all the sins that the world has to offer. I begin to drink like a fish out of water and many other sins that I will not go in to save you of the embracement. After the war was over and I was discharged from the service and I continued to practice my new life style that I had developed while I was in the service. Let me say empathy here that the service or the people that I choose to associated with did not cause me to change my life style and do the things that I did, it was my weakness and my desires to do what I may have done, no one is to blame but myself.

Any way I met a beautiful young lady and it took me about one and half years for me to convince her that I was the person could make her happy and we married September18th in 1948. After being married and as we were thanking about razing a family I decided that it was time for me to change my rowdy ways and come back in to the fold of living for God again and I am sure that my wife could take some of the credit for helping and inspiring me make my decision to change. After marriage we some time went to church but not with any regularity and with no participation or activity in it. We then had our daughter Kay in November 18, in 1949, and then we had our son Rick, in July10, 1953, and our last son Greg was born July 1, 1959, it was in 1956, that we thought that we should get Kay and Rick in Sunday school and we both knew that we should have already been activity and join the church, I then moved my letter to Goodwater Baptist and Helen joined the church at that time as well.

They immediately put me to work as adult secretary and general secretary and I served in that position for twenty-six years and until my wife had become so disabled and I had to take some time off to take care of her I was still active in many functions of the church, but there were a couple years I could not attend regular. My wife spent twenty- six years active teaching and serve as a secretary and serving on many comities.

I served forty-eight years and served in all but two position of the church, I did not teach and I did not preach I served as deacon, trustee, secretary, most ever kind of committees and as chairmen on many of them different years. We both served faithful and carried our children to church thru these years.

All through out my life I have had many trials and tribulations many hurts and disappointments and made many mistakes, but God has stayed by my side and blessed me all thru all my trials and tribulations, he gave me the loving grace to help me endure all my hardship and at the same time and prosper. It was around the year of 1979, or 1980 that I had the feeling that I was a born again Christian; I know that I was a Christian all thru out of the previous years, I believed in the lord Jesus, I knew that he died for my sins, I praised him and his name and tried to obey all his commandments, but I did not have the burning desire to study his word and learn more about him. It made me feel a little embarrassed that I was just playing church that I was not doing every thing that God wanted me to do. I knew that my faith in Jesus was not as it should have been.

It was about that time that god may have been testing my faith in him, now I do not know if God test our faith or not but there was a lot of things that occurred in my life for a long period that I could not understand. My older sister developed throat cancer and died in 1981, our company president had a massive heart attack and died in 1978, and I had been a vice president since the year of 1959 and after his death I was promoted to be executive vice president and my responsibility increase tremendously. My father had passed away in 1965 that was terrible shock to me. I quit smoking in dec.29th 1981 after the death of my sister. In year of 1983 our new president had surgery for three or four by-passes and the total responsibility fell on my shoulders to keep the company going in full speed, and we had several many delinquent orders and many of them were government orders and that required a lot of negations to satisfy them. During while our president was home getting over his operation we suffer a big fire of about half of our fabrication plant costing one half million dollars, it was very fortunate that I had increase fire insurance coverage on all of our buildings and machinery the previous December, so we had adequate insurance to cover most on our lost, but then we had to file with the insurance companies and get started rebuilding the fabrication building and buying the necessary machines to replace the lost machines.

It was about that time I had developed a stomach ulser and the doctor thought I was having heart problem and I thought so as well, I just drank Maalox for a couple years, until another doctor diagnosed and give me a potent medicine and cured it.

In the year of 1979 my wife had a severe auto accident right in front of our home and she suffered a severe laceration on her head and she was given a blood transfusion and we always thought that is how she contacted the disease that killed her in 1985, I will not go in to the details about her illness because all my family knows all the details and I have written about it many times.

While my wife was in the hospital while they were trying to confirm her diagnosis and they had to perform a biopsies
She went down severely and the doctors and my family told me that I would have to put her in a nursing home that I could not take care of her I first refused but finally I decided that I would try it for a while. I knew a nice lardy that had experience that I could hire her to sit with her while she was in the nursing home, but that did not satisfy me this lady was wonderful but I would get up every morning and go to the nursing home and put Helen in the shower and dry her off and put her back in her bed and straighten her sheets and blankets and go get her breakfast and feed her and about the caretaker would come and I would go to my job. I then would come by at noon time and see if she needed any thing the caretaker would usually feed her lunch, I would go back to the office and work until I could leave work I would go stay with her until about 10:00 O’clock and go to my home and sleep if I could sleep, and in the next morning I repeated that same procedure the next day.

After one month I knew that that was going to kill me before she died and I told my family that I am taking her home regardless what any one has to say about it. I told them that that my care taker Jessie Worrell told me that she could find a couple other ladies that I could hire to help with her just to short a long story short these three ladies were three angels that if there ever has been an angel on this side of heaven, I will be indebted to them the rest of my life.


It was in the year of 1983 that I had a call from a neighbor telling me that my brother had had a massive heart attack and was dead that put me down out of my mind, I thought I was going to loose my mind I thought that there is no more that I can endure, and Helen was not in any condition to help me, she was more confused then I was, she could not comprehend what was going on. While Helen and I was waiting at the home of my brothers home and for the funeral, I received a call from my son Rick saying that he was unable to come to the funeral that his wife Linda was in the hospital that she had had a miscarriage and that upset me but I noticed that my wife was not being able to comprehend what was going on that depressed me much.

It was over in the latter part of the year of 1983 or 1984 my sister lived in Florida and she and her husband had retired and they came over to live with us to help take care of my wife and take care of my mother, which lived next door to me and they had been there about a month and my sister was taking my mother for a Sunday afternoon ride and they were returning back to home when they met some motor cycle riders speeding and passing cars in a sharp curve and my sister met these idiots coming on her side of the road and she had to leave the road to keep from killing a couple of them, so they had a terrible accident and almost kill both of them and both of them suffered damage that stayed with them until their death. This accident occurred within two miles from my home but I could not go to the accident because I had to take care of my wife. I remember that it was about two weeks after the accident and the both of them were still in the hospital, and they call me and informed me that if I could possible come to the hospital, if I wanted to see my mother before she died. I remember that I become numb in mind and soul, I remember feeling that it does not make any difference any more what ever happens to me that I will handle it, any way one of my care taker always stayed with me until eight or nine O’clock and I ask her if she could stay until I could go to the hospital and she stated that she would be glad to stay until I returned.

Any way when I arrive to the hospital a nurse came to me and stated that she could not understand it but my mother suddenly changed and had much improved and that she had tried to call me and tell me that she had improved, my mother continued to improve and in a few weeks was discharged from the hospital, and lived another five years and died at age ninety-five years of age. God works in so many mysterious ways doesn’t he, thanks dear God for answered prayers.

I continued to work at my job and I do not believe that my duties suffered thru all of those episodes. My Pastor would frequently come to my office and console me and encourage me and we prayed much together and he was very patient with me and allowed me tell him about my problems and troubles and let me cry to him. He would always tell me to read the book of Job and he would tell me that the Lord will not put any more on you then you can stand. I did read the book of job and I guess that the Lord did not put any more on me then I could stand because I did not die.

That was a ten or twelve year period of my life was the hardest unhappiest, sadist, but I kept my faith in god, in fact I grew much stronger to God in each and ever one of these episode. I felt mad to God when my wife died because I prayed so hard that he would let her live, she was so young, she was only 56-years old when she died.

My bible tells me that there is a purpose for every thing that happens in life, that good will come if we believe in Jesus Christ and God how I believe. I do not believe that I will ever truly understand why bad things happen until I sat down and ask God. It has been 24 years since her death and I still thank of her ever day and miss her very much, but God has blessed me so wonderfully and given me the loving grace to endure and be happy and content in life.

It was in the latter part of the eighties that my life becomes more normal and without many trials and tribulations. It was in the year of 1989 that I spent a semi-year of retirement, to see if I could handle fully retirement. After one year of semiretirement I come to the conclusion that I could handle retirement, and I could really enjoy it. After a period of time I decided that retirement from the corporate world was the best decision I ever made, it gave me time to do the things that made me happy and do the things I enjoyed. During my working years my life consisted of family, company, and church, and I guess that was in pretty well of that order, when it should have been God, church family and then company. I believe that we get our priorities out of the proper order in life sometimes.

I volunteered and served for several activities and programs during my working years and several of them were was more like an obligation because of my position in my company and because people more or less expected me to do so. I was a member of the Lion’s club, Member of the American Legion serving as its commander some time its Adjutant long period of time, we developed a Hatchet Creek Corporation for helping companies to get grants and loans, and I served it as its vice president and its secretary and treasure. I joined Southeastern Lumbermen Manufacturing Association, (SLMA); I served several years as a trustee on our insurance programs. I also serve several years on the city medical board. I serve, as a member of the Pride And Action club that sponsored activities for the town and community, like the fall festival, Christmas parades and other. I constructed a nativity scene down town several years with the help of the Hornsby family Jamie, Freddie, Susan. They awarded me with about ten plats over the years expressing their gratitude for what little that I may have contributed to the town and community. I certainly did not feel worthy to receive such a high honor, but I sure did feel good that they appreciated what little I did for them. I believe it is human nature for one to feel good when other people are appreciative for someone who does things in volunteered basis and in the goodness of their heart. I know that it pleases my savior Jesus Christ.

Since I have been here at Renaissance I have tried to minister to my friends here in my limited ability by planting a little garden for them putting devotional documents for them to read and study. I wrote several documents for them to read and enjoy. I tried hard to be cheerful to them and give them a smile when I approach them in the dinning area and let them know that I care for them, and I pray for them every day. I hope and pray that they can feel the Christian love and my compassion that I have for them.

My New Years Resolution for year of 2010

My New Years Resolution For –2010

Do you make New Year’s resolutions, I do, I thank that every one should make new resolutions from time to time and strive to change some habits that you know are not good and decent or may even be sinful, and I have many. Over in the last several years I have made some that I really worked hard and strived to improve on them and I did improve on some of them. I would like to share a few of them with you the word “ LOVE” there are so many forms of love and I even wrote a story about the many kind and stages of love that there are none more important then our love for Jesus Christ, and love our neighbor and our family. One year I choose the word “GRACE” I studied about the grace that my lord has given to me I even pull the word grace in the KJV bible and found that the word grace is recorded in 159 verses and I read the most of them.

Many years my word was “FAITH” and that word will be again this year and again for the remaining years that I live here on this earth. I have not completely mastered it as yet but I am a lot closer then I used to be, but I will continue working on it, until I will have enough as a mustard seed, then I believe that my master will say to me well done my good and faithful severant. AMEN

Another year was the word “PRIDE” It has been said that the word pride is the route of all sin, I do not know if that is completely true or not but I know that I have to reframe from it my self because we have the tendencies to try take credit for the little deeds that we are involved in, when the credit should go to our savior, because there is nothing that we can do without the guidelines and direction of God.

Another word is “PATIENTANCE” I have improved over the years but I still have to work on that one each year. Another word is “PERSEVERANCE” that goes along with patience and with my physical adversities my poor vision, my poor hearing difficulties, causes me to learn to do many things in a different way and in a different style. The grace of God has blessed me so wonderfully that he has helped me endure and not be desponded about these little adversities. I praise God that I can see well enough to write on my computer and write my little scribbling that I thornily enjoy. Even thou I have to use a magnifying light to work on the computer, I feel so wonderfully blessed.

For the last several years my daughter and I have discussed and selected the words that we wanted to choose for each New Year. We have chosen the word “ compassion “ for this year 2010. I will now include compassion along with the other words that I have related to in this statement for this year. There were other words or phases or topics that I have worked on in previous years, for instances I quit smoking December in 1981, on a resolution made with my brother, I have decided that it is better to make resolutions with family members or with a close friend where you can be completive with them.

I know that making resolutions and keeping them and working them have improved my character, disposition, my attitude, my spiritual living style, and happiness. May I encourage you to make New Years resolutions and see if they will help you?

Now after all of that I am still a low down sinner I feel that I am just filthy rags, but I am a lot better then I used to be and have a long way to go where I want to be, so I am going to keep on working and striving until my master says to me well done my good faithful servant.

The Renaissance Dreamer

The Dreamer


I am the Renaissance dreamer.

I am just a country boy that grew up in a sawmill town. This town was located in the large woods. Lots of our joy and entertainment was spent by walking thru the woods.

Have you ever just walked thru the woods along beside a crooked creek in the spring -time and see honey suckle bushes in full blooms and pluck one of the blossom and smell them and taste the sweet flavor. Did you ever cut a boca of the honey-suckle flowers and take them to your Mother and let her put them in your room to make your room smell sweet. Have you ever looked up in to a tall popular tree and see the squirrels jumping thru and fore and playing with each other. Did you ever see the birds flying from tree to tree and hearing them chirping their heart- out? Did you ever find a honey tree in the woods and rob the honey and get strung with many bees for robbing their honey. Did you ever come on to a snake curled in your path, and it scared the devil out of you. Have you ever gathered up a gang of you friends and go swimming in the creek? Have you ever played the game of hockey in an open field using a tin can as a golf ball and broomstick as a putter? Do you know what I am describing to you that we did not have all the paraphernalia that children have this day; we had to create our own tools to make believe. Did you ever line up a long line of children and join hands and all run as fast as we could and some large person at the front end of the line and he would stop and he would pop the whip, and the person on the tail end of the line would be thrown in to the air. Have you ever taken barrel staves and made a little sled and scatter pine straw on a hill and slide down the hill. Have you played the little game throw the rubber ball over the house and there would be a group on either side that would catch the ball as it is thrown over. I could keep on relation many games to you that we used to play and enjoyed. I feel so sorry for you children that did not learn how to use your own imagination and create some things for yourselves.

Have you ever sat out side on a fall day and admire the beauty of the trees with the leaves turning to many colors. What a sight to see? Have you ever thought about who is responsible for all the beauty that we enjoy every day.
Do you just accept the great beauty of earth it as just mother’s nature happening that way? I am here to tell you that it just doesn’t happen that way. We have a wonderful God that created heaven and earth and every living thing on earth. He is the great creator that loves us so much that he created it all for all mankind.

Have you sat in front of the Renaissance building and watch Cliff, as he comes out and call his kitty cats and feed them. It is an amusing sight to watch and hear him talk to his kitty cats. It is amusing thing to watch an elderly man display love and compassion for the little animals.

Have you ever walked thru the woods and find a large patch of hackle berries and sat down and pick a bucket full. Or find a large patch of wild black berries, or find a Muscatine vine, and come across a vine of possum grapes. Have you ever gotten thirsty while strolling thru the woods and come across a beautiful brook and lay down on your belly on the ground and rake the leaves aside and drank from the brook. Have you ever made minnow traps and trapped minnows in the brook. Have you ever helped dam the brook and make a little swimming hole and gotten naked and went swimming in cold water.
Have you ever tried to walk logs in the log pond? Have you ever taken a dare to go swimming in a frozen creek?

As a teenager, have you ever wanted to go fishing in a creek and had to go out and dig earth- worms for bait, and then cut hickory saplings for a fishing pole. Did you ever try making coffee in a tin bucket while on your fishing trip?
Umm, HOW GOOD IT WAS.


Have you sat on one of the benches out side of the Renaissance facility on a clear beautiful day and gaze up in to the elements and meditate about how wonderful it will be when Jesus comes back for all of us believers. Have you ever thought about how wonderfully blessed we are to have a wonderful place to live here at Renaissance in our advanced age. Can you remember how hard it was for most of our parents as they grew to advanced age?

Have you ever laid on a pile of cotton on the porch, in the night and gaze up in to the sky and admire the stars and gaze at a full moon and admire Gods great creation and thank God for his wonderful love that he has for us. Have you ever sat in the sun- shine and felt it’s warm rays on your shoulders and backs. Have you ever sat in the sand on the beach with your feet dangling in the water and gazing across the ocean and spot a boat in a long distance away and wonder who is responsible for us being able to enjoy all of this? Do you know that there is more of God’s creation for you to enjoy. If you have not experienced some of these things, then you have not lived yet. Come walk with me on Gods sacred path and I will tell you about some more of Gods creation for us to enjoy. I would be very happy to talk to you and tell you what God has done for me in my life. Thanks to God that I am a Christian, and I am very proud of it. I enjoy telling others about my lord and savior Jesus Christ.

God is the great creator of heaven and earth and everything that lives there in it. I have mentioned a few of the wonderful things that we can enjoy here on earth, Can you imagine how wonderful Heaven must be, You can witness how beautiful heaven will be if you will live the life that Jesus has planed for us to live. He wants us to love him, trust him, believe in him, accept him as our redeemer; He wants us to know that he died for our sins on the horrible cross, make him Lord in our life. He has paved the road for us to meet him in heaven. I hope to see and meet you in heaven.

My Mothers Day Prayer--2009

Mothers Day Prayer

May 10, 2009

I woke up this morning thanking about my Mother eveven thou she has been gone to live with our savior in heaven since the year of 1988, when she had attained the age of 95. Today I am celebration the 87th mother’s day celebration and I laied here thinking of my Mother and reminisced over her life. Remembering her loving care that she did for her children and her husband. I know that she had many hard years trying to make every thing good for the whole family. I watched her trying fix and prepare meals and keeping what clothes that we had and she kept them clean, when there was no money to buy food or any new clothes.

She was always the first person to get up every morning and start breakfast and she was always the last person that would retire and go to bed. She never had any breaks or rest periods during the day or night. The depression years lasted for our family for a long period from the year of 1930 until the beginning of world war – 2,
1941. We were able to survive after the wage and hour law put in effect in 1938, it is a little difference between jut surviving then really living.

Our family consisted of six children and my Mother And Dad. I still remember those cold winter days that my mother would spend the biggest part of day of washing our clothes out in the cold weather in tin tubs with no heat. It would require about another day of ironing clothes with a smoothing iron heated from the old cooking wood burning stove.

My mother and Dad were praying Christians and taught us right and wrong and expected us to live according to the golden rule and if we varied away from it they did not hesitate to take us to the wood shed. I believe that I received my share of invitations to the wood shed and I thank God for every one of them because as I grew in to adult hood and married and raised a family. I believe it prepared me with Christian wisdom and with my wife that we raised three beautiful wonderful law abiding children.

Well Mother you will not be able to read my email but I believe that you will know that I am thanking of you this mother’s day today. O what pleasant memories that still have of you every day, O how much I still love you dear Mother. Dear Mother I can Almost hear your prayers that you are still praying for me every day. Your son John

M Fathers Day Prayer For My Renaissance Friends-2009

My Renaissance Fathers Day Prayer

Greetings to all you Fathers here at Renaissance and I wish you a Happy Fathers Day. May I ask you to take a little time and reminisce over the years and ask your self if I have been a good Father? and I am sure that you all have been a good Father, but if you come up with a negative answer, then I ask you to call your child and tell them that you love them, and make every thing right with them today. If you will do that I believe that you will have the best Fathers day that you have ever had. I have already sent my children an email this morning and telling them that I love them, and wished them a wonderful Fathers day. If some of your children come to see you today, please throw your arms around them and tell them that you love them and their families.

What a privilege it is to be a Father and love your children unconditional and be close with them here on earth especially when we get in to advanced age and living along. Thanks to all you Fathers and Mothers that you are letting me be one member of your family, I love each and every one of you. HAVE A HAPPY FATHERS DAY.

Farhers Day Prayer

Hog Heaven

Have you ever thought about where or what hog heaven is all about or where it is located, well I have. I guess I thought that Jimmie Dean was living in “ Hog Heaven “, well I found out that he does not live in hog heaven, I thought that the big movie stars all lived in hog heave, but they were living in sin. I then thought that our government, our senators and our congressmen all lived in hog heaven and I found out they were all preparing them selves to go straight to HELL?

I spent many years searching and looking all over the world trying to find hog heaven well I finally found it in October 2004, at the assisted and retirement home named Renaissance near the beautiful city of Rome Georgia. It sits on a large lot with a beautiful building that is surrounded with some beautiful mountains and provides living space for about 100 occupants. It has plenty walking area and some beautiful shade trees to sit under. It has very experienced administrative staff and plenty of dedicated workers to take care of the occupant and minister to most of our needs. It even provides space for us to have a beautiful garden.
Well what is Hog Heaven, let me tell you what I thank hog heaven is for me. It is a place that you can relax and be your own boss, you can sleep when you want to, or you can go to bed when you so desire. You have no obligations, no worry unless you choose to worry; you can sit out in the old shade tree and spend hours meditating on any thing that so desire even on Jesus Christ. I enjoy spending hours admiring the garden looking into the beautiful blue sky; I am perfectly happy and content with life. God bless America.

Some of my daily activities

Some Of My Activities Sunday May 31st. 2009

My children frequently call and ask what have you been doing today or what is going on in my life each day. Well I am an old 87 year man and there, is very little going on in my life, let me give you my high lights of this day. I woke up early this morning around 6; 30 and I usually don’t get awake until around 8:00 or 9;00 A.M. The first thing that I thought about this morning that this is my wife’s birthday, and I spent considerable time reminiscent over our life together and praying gods blessings for my family and praying and thanking God for his blessing on my lovely wife which lives in heaven.

For the next several minutes was spent in the bath room taking care of all the necessary chores needs and required details, and in your advanced age they become quiet a chore. Back over in my working years I could shave shower and s--t in 15 minutes, and now it requires about two hours. It seams that all your vital organs seam to quit function at a certain age. When you try to void, you turn the water on in the lavatory so you can hear the water running and that helps you get in the mood to get your urine to start dripping, so you hold on to the brace they have installed for old people to hold on and keep you from going to sleep and falling on the floor.

After you finish empting your bladder you then start thank that you may feel the urge that maybe that prune juice may be ready to act, you can not tell for sure so you lower your pants, hoping that this is the real urge, or is it just a explosion created from gas by drinking a gallon of prune juice, this goes on for several minutes. When you thank that you have completed that chore, and then you feel the great urge to pass some gas again and you thank that it is only gas and you don’t lower your pants and then you find out it was the real stuff, and then you got to take another shower and wash your drawers.

Now it is getting around ten O’clock and if you have any strength left you start shaving, combing your hair, installing you partials, hunting your glasses, installing you hearing aids.

It is time to enter in to the kitchen, but I stop by my computer and check see if I have any Interested looking emails, and if I see some that looks interesting I may read some of them. By the time I enter the kitchen I feel so exhausted I feel that I need to have a little nap before breakfast then I may eat something or I may just skip breakfast totally that day. Food don’t taste good any more anyway people have messed with food trying to cut out calories and it doesn’t have any flavor and this generation of people does not know how to cook a decent meal anyway, I believe that they are to dam lazy.

This Sunday was quiet different from most Sundays because about the time I finished in the bath room I received a call from my oldest son (Rick) and stated that he was on his way to visit me. After receiving his call I decided not to eat any breakfast that day because I knew that we were going out to eat lunch. So I carried him to my favorite café here in Rome, which is, Picky-Dilly they know how to prepare soul food and that is the kind of food that I enjoy. But when we got there they were closed because they had an electrical problem, so we went over to Harvest Moon Café and they were also closed they stated that they no longer opened on Sunday. We then went to Partridge Café and we finally found something to eat there.

This was an enjoyable Sunday I always love and enjoy when my children come to visit me. Sundays is sorter like the old song, Sundays are the loneliest day of the week. Heavenly Father please bless my little garden and dear God I thank you for the strength and the desire that you have installed within me to prepare and dress it up as a beautiful garden to look at and admire. I spend many hours sitting under the beautiful shade tree admiring the garden and all the surrounding mountains and the other entire creations dear god that you have created for us to enjoy. Dear god it is so peaceful to sit there and listens at some of my favorite gospel music and to meditate on your word and praise your name. I wish that everyone could feel the serenity that I feel when sitting out gazing in to the sky a looking for the Lord to appear. I hope and pray that everyone feels that this little garden is my little ministry for my good friends here at Renaissance.
