What a Weekend

my Granddaughter turned 5 this weekend and she wanted to go fishing for her birthday! So we spent half the day fishing Saturday. Caught nothing, but she learned how to cast and bait the hook... You got to start somewhere. Then it was home for hotdogs and cake. And presents of course!!
It was refreshing to see a desire for something not electronics or toys.

It was a busy weekend for many with dad's and grads. Sad that so few men stand worthy of the recognition, and half the grads don't know how to read or do math enough to make change at the check out. 

It's a different world.

I noticed a freight truck on the highway the other day. Plastered on the 3 visible sides of the truck..

Arrogant Bastard Ale with a picture deplicting the devil.

Ya, the devil is laughing at all the people headed to hell and they don't even know it. He doesn't even have to try and win souls, people are choosing hell on their own.

So many building we call Churches, full of people, where maybe half are living for Christ, the other half there to look good.

Busy weekend indeed.

I started not feeling well Saturday evening and by Sunday morning my blood pressure was alarmingly low. I made it home from the store before collapsing in a chair, where I spent the rest of the day quietly resting. 

I hope everyone had an amazing weekend and for those men that know what it means to be a dad, Happy father's day.

This is as good as it gets



All I ever wanted was a little house to call home, horses in the backyard; And for my kids to show up for Sunday dinner once in a while.{I used to love to cook. And have big family feasts.}

As parents you want your children to grow up happy with a solid foot on life. Never want for them to have to deal with violence or tragedy, You Hope for the best of health.. and everyone wants the joy of grandchildren. Watching your family grow.

It's always nice to hear your kids have found God, but it isn't something to shove down their throats. I love my kids so much it's hard to imagine them not in heaven.

Lead by example and hope they follow.
You do the best you can, and hope for the rest. Life doesn't always follow a plan and others can change the direction of your path.

In the end, it's as good as it gets.

The door is open and the coffee is on,

Welcome to the Bright side of the Barn.
