Happy fathers day to my dad. He has been gone for a while now, but he still lives on in my heart. Happy fathers day to my son Don. His first child is not due for a few months, but I believe that he is a father. Happy fathers day to my son in law Chris. He is a great fathers to Vinny. Happy fathers day to Sean (tieson). Tieson is my "grand dog".
I have had the pleasure of being a father to many, my own kids, and those that I have adopted or friened.
Most of all is my Happy Fathers Day to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. God, every ones father, he who is both loved and hated, and still give his unconditional love to all. To all the fathers out there, happy fathers day. May you continue to love your children unconditionally.

blessed are the meek...............

Have I become a grumpy old man or have I just decided to play the system? There are so many positive thing in life to rejoice over, I feel bad when I complain about something. This week the trash men forgot to pick up my trash. Usually it is half full, but this time it was stuffed to the top. They must have driven by our house at least a dozen times. I put the trash out the night before so they can't say that it wasn't out there on time. Our driveway is on the side street and sometimes they skip it because it is not in front of the house. Do I bitch, or shut my mouth and see if I can smash the trash down, compact it for this weeks waste?

I've changed my title and hopefully some better topics. The picture is my wife, my grandson, my dog, and me. I like to blog to keep my mind active. I am a christian who does not know all the answers. I also do not believe that just because something is published, it is true. I also believe that memorizing the bible will not make me a better christian. I love a good sermon when it comes from the heart, not from quotes from someone elses book. I love my wife, my kids and their spouses, and my only grandson. I can truely say that I hate no one. I hate it when people confuse democracy with capitalism. I love the four seasons of the year that Michigan offers. I love my cardiologist who keeps my heart beating. I love my wife who keeps loving me. I love the house we own and never want to move. I hate white lies, big lies, and all types of spinning. I will gladly share my faith with you, but when it come to that final day and you are standing before God, you are on your own. There are too many experts in the world and I might just write a book on how to screw things up. Everyone else seems to write books on how to do things right. Finally, I can read the "muskegon chronicle" from begining to end in less then 10 minutes. I do not speed read.
