11月9日 LONG TIME NO SEE Hi there, it has been a long time since i was last here and part of that has been because my computer was in the shop, and the other part has been because i have been having brain lock. i don't know which is worse for me, not having any new thoughts coming to me, or having too many coming to me all at once. i think i should get a tape recorder and just talk these thoughts into the machine.
Anyway, it has been a wonderful time for me. i have been enjoying the grand babies and the first grand son is so awesome. His birth means that the family name will go on at least one more generation. How great is that? If i live as long as my dad did then i hopefully will be able to witness great grand kids. i know i will be old and a shell of myself but hopefully, i will still have a sound mind. At least that way i will be able to tell them stories. i have been writing stories for my grand girls and for my youngest son, so maybe instead of reading Aesop fables they can read grand dads lies! Phillip has been getting on me to write him a story for his third grade class, and so far i haven't but i will get to it because he love it when i write a story and then come to school and read it to his class.
Well i guess this is all that i have for now. i will ease on down the road and get in some more reading time before the game come on and hopefully the meds will have done what they need to do in order for me to get a good nights' sleep.
Love
Bro.ken 9月15日 MRS WILLIAMS Yesterday i went to see my oldest friend. Man, it was a blessing to see her. i met Mrs. Williams thirty years ago at bible study and she and her husband took me in as if i was their own. At the time that they took me in she was already sixty-five. Mr. Williams was seventy-four. He died in 1985 before our first son was born and Mrs. Williams has been hanging in there ever since. Although the other kids that they "took" in called them Lois and Garland i've never ever called them any thing but Mr. or Mrs. Williams; yet with just as much affection as the rest. The two of them never had any children of their own so they would "take" every one elses kids. Those are their words. i was glad that they took me, because they came into my life at the most turbulent time of my life and gave me wisdowm, love, comfort, and a safe haven.
This September she will be ninety five years old, and for an old girl she is still pretty sassy. She has all her wits about her and she is still getting around on her own; still cooking- and she can really cook- and she still has the letter and bible that she took from me. Well the letter is one that she had written to me when i was living in Texas working on the railroad. i would call them and write to them while i was away, this one time she was a little slow in responding to my letter, so Mr. Williams got on her about answering me, and she said to get him off her back she started to write me about one o'clock in the morning. So she hurried up and wrote the letter sealed it in the envelope and mailed it to me. Well when i got the letter i couldn't help but laugh because it seemed as if she had been dozing off while writing it because the words were all over the pages and rarely in between the lines. After reading the letter i gave them a call and asked Mr. Williams whether or not he had been chasing her around the bed while she was trying to write to me, and we had a good laugh about it. Well when i came home one week end she asked me if i had the letter and i told her i did. She said that she wanted to see the letter, so i took it out and showed it to Mr. Williams and we laughed about it again. Well Mrs Williams took the letter and never gave it back to me. This was twenty- seven years ago, and she still has it!
The bible she has had for about twelve years. She reads it and she leaves it out for me to see it when i come by but she will never let me take it. Ninety- four and counting and still a joy for me and my family. She has witness the birth of JESUS in my life, and now she has seen all of my kids and their wives, and the grand kids; and as i sat there with her and phyllis and phillip yesterday, in the same house that was such a rest haven for my weary soul i couldn't help but marvel at the fact that it has been this long, and that she is still as witty, fiesty, and loving as he was the first time i met her. i pray to GOD that one day i will be able to be the same thing for some one else in my lifetime. God bless you Mrs. Williams
love,
kenny 8月16日 SUNDAY Well the day is over now but it was another of those glorious days that the Lord send to His own. i didn't make it to church today, had the grand kids with us for the weekend, but i did get to talk to others about Jesus and that's always a good thing.
Some would like to make you feel as if you have done something so wrong when you don't make it to Church, but i am always in the midst of Gods' people and i always tell others of the good news of the gospel of Christ. Sunday is not the only day that i take the time to praise the Lord, or worship Him. For me, everyday is a good day to tell some one about Jesus. i didn't get out of the house today, but i talked to three people on the phone about the Lord.
One of thosee who i talked to asked me about Jesus while on the cross calling to God asking Him why he had forsaken Him. His question was this: Why is it that all through out Jesus ministry, he referred to God as his Father, but when he was on the cross He called Him God? We came up with opinions, but if there is anyone out there who can give me Biblical truths to pass on to him i would appreciated it.
Another of the callers was talking about the need for us to really go by the plan that God has laid out for His children to follow. One of teh things that came up in this conversation is the fact that out of all the people who were living in the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah there was only one person that was righteous. Stranger than that, however, is the fact that out of all the people in the world during the time of the flood, there was only eight people who was righteous! Out of all the people in the world at that time, only eight people were deemed righteous by God! His thought was this: How is it that there was a time when, out of all the people in the world , there were only eight that was righteous can we be so cavalier in our thinking that so many of us can be saved even though we are living no better than some of those people. The thought being this: Not every one of those people were such unholy sinners, some of those people were just ordinary people who didn't commit adultry or fornicate, their fault was that they saw no need to heed the word of God as it was spoken to them by the man of God!
Jesus saith: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matthew 7:14 So tell me how is it that we can think that all of us, who are good in our own eyes, are heaven bound? In a city of a few hundred thousand? only one man was found to be just, and in the world at that time, and i haven't found any estimates of how many people was on the earth at the time, there was only eight; tell me how can all these people who have clearly died out of the will of God, be heaven bound? Why do we always say that someone who died under questionalbe spiritual circumstanes are in a better place? i wonder, and if there is anyone out there who care to talk to me about this, give be a hit.
Finally, i talked to a church member for about an hour about the good news of the Gospel of Jesus and we enjoyed the fellowship and the sweet communion of the Holy Spirit! Just because i didn't make it to the church building does not mean that i didn't make it to church. i church everyday! Life lived for Jesus is awesome!

Bro.ken 8月5日 HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARCUS Today is my oldest sons' birthday. He is twenty four. i remember when he was first born, after the nurse gave him to Phyllis and she was done counting his fingers and toes, she gave him to me and i held him for four hours until the nurses came and pried him from my hands. This was one of the happiest days of my life, Phyllis and i had two miscarriages before Marcus made it, and times were tense. She had a hard pregmcamcy and she had to be off of her feet a lot doing this pregnancy, and there were times when she would go all day without feeling any movement from im and she would call me at work and tell me that something didn't seem right; but when i got home i would put my hand on her stomach and talk to him and he would start kicking and stretching out. Then i would tell Phyllis that he didn't like being called Raven- Phyllis name for her girl which she thought Marcus was going to be. We would go back and forth over whether the baby was a boy or girl until one night i had a dream and woke up and told Phyllis that this one would be a boy, and then i discribe him to her, and he came out looking just like i told her he would look.Needless to say he came out as a daddys' boy.
Whenever i was down in life he would always sense it and come over and hug me or just start talkiing and my spirits would be lifted up. i was so happy to finally have my son, and now he is a married man with his own spitting image, but a girl and now he is twenty- four and so much different from what his daughter is who, by the way, is named Raven! He love his moms' too. Happy birthday son, and like i've always told you and your brothers, i love you because you are mine not because of what you are or may become. Continue to take your time and learn the lessons of dad and believe in Jesus and everything will work out for you,
love,
Dad 7月7日 MICHEAL JACKSON'S FUNERAL So the self proclaimed king of pop has been laid to rest! i have talked to some of my friends, who all grew up listening to the Jacksons and the line is drawn on the issues of Mikes legacy and the hoopla that surrounded his death. i am of the mind that he will go down in history as one of the greatest talents of our time, his musical genius and his extraordinary ability to dance and entertain will forever be without equal, but was he worth all this fawning over? NO! i have to disagree with Al Sharpton, MJ was weird. He had many flaws and as a Christians i see his life lived left a great deal to be desired. He was talented, but man the television coverage was a tad bit much. Hopefully, the church will do her job and seperate the fact from the fiction about MJ and all these other celebs who live a life of decadence then die and the world try and put them in heaven.

bro ken 6月29日 HERE COME THE RAIN Well the rains are here and the yard is all happy. The garden is running in place all happy and sticking her tongue out at the pasture. i think the butterbeans are having a party and not wanting to invite the rest of the garden, but right now i am not stressing. The rains have stopped and now the garden looks all wet and happy. The watermelons are coming along just fine and there are four different kind of melons out there. i need to spray the plants because i see bugs coming around trying to get in on the eating party, and i don't want to share with nature any more.
i planted four different kinds of cucumbers, and one of them is really long and looks similar to squash but it is all cucumber. It is a thing of beauty to see the different things that GOD has blessed mankind with and to be opened to these differences. Life just never cease to amaze this little ol' country boy.
Phyllis and i are starting a compost and she's excited about being a gardener. She has really come a long way, every thing she used to plant usually died, we used to say that she had a black thumb. Now, however, she is doing a great job of growing things, i think being retired has helped in her concentration, and she is really more relaxed now that she is at home EVERYDAY. Man it has been such a revealation seeing how now i am dealing with the same issues that house wives have dealt with for forever! What to do with the now retired spouse, who has come home and re-arranged everything in the kitchen so that she can make dinner every once in a while. She's retired and now i have to get out of the house! i need the man version of Calgon to take me away!
Bro.ken MICHEAL JACKSON AIN'T DEAD Surprise surprise, MJ ain't dead! Now all you hysterical, I'm gonna kill myself because the king of pop is gone, folk can come back to earth and get a life. I have the inside scoop. MJ has been re-incarnated as the notorious B.I.G. Irony of ironies, MJ was born Black, died a skinny white man, and comes back as Biggie Smalls! And, he is still moonwalking and hitting the high notes. He is still the crotch grabbing heehee singing showman that you cry babies have all longed for since he died, only he is this big black guy with somoe extremely big soup coolers! Imagine the possibilities! Can't you just see the big black MJ standing on his toes leaning back and singing Beat It? I can! I guess is what make me the sicko that i am. So rest easy my MJ sickies, he is not dead, he has not been spotted in the local Wal Mart, but he is the new and improve MJ singing i love it when you call me big poppa!
