The Music Stopped Playing
I used to love to see Justin Wilson on TV. He was a pure bred cajun and a very funny fellow. Those kind of people are the ones I like to be around. I like to laugh better than anything else I guess. I used to know a lot of jokes but my mind seems to be losing ground because I can't remember them at all anymore. I stopped drinking about 10 years ago. I used to listen to music all the time but I just don't care for it anymore. I can't seem to remember the faces on pictures of people I used to know. I can recognize them but can't remember their faces.
I spent some time with my sons this weekend, Micheal and Woodrow. Greg is n TN and I only see him ocassionally when he can come down. I enjoy their company and it makes me feel better.

A Silver Lining
I am shocked at the horrible death and destruction the tornadoes have brought to so many people this year. I am more aware of the possibility of the forces of nature every time a thunder storm comes our way. I think the news carries more info now than they did in the past because of all this. I just keep thinking about all the horror these people have had to endure. I feel, well I feel afraid really that something like that could happen to my family at any time. I just can't get it off my mind. I just wish it could be better for those people somehow.
The one good thing that has come of this is the fact that it has brought people closer together. Now I know what you're thinking, are you crazy? No, really it has caused people to help each other and to come out and talk to their neighbors that they haven't ever spoken to before and to help each other. I bet there has been a lot of praying going on and it has brought the people closer to God. I know that I have talked to him more now than before. I haven't heard a single comment about taking away prayer from a public place during all this. I do hate for the destruction and loss of life. I know there is no way to bring back what has been taken away by nature. This tragedy has affected so many people and friends of mine. If you read this please lift them up in prayer and help them if you are able to. God bless everyone.

Doctors Visit
Ms Sherry had to go back to Chapel Hill today for a follow up appointment with her Dr. The urinary tract infection was gone. She still has some infection otherwise and they changed her antibiotic to a stronger one. Her tests showed there may be a problem in her liver so they had to draw more blood for a test on that. I pray all is ok and that she feels better very soon. It was a nice day for the drive and we got back home after stopping at the pharmacy. Angel and Precious were glad to see us back. They hate pulling guard duty and would rather just bask in the warm sunshine. :)

What a Beautiful Day
I know why God made the sky Carolina blue. It's a wonderful day in the Carolinas today. I hate that I can't enjoy it more. It was days like today we lived for as kids. I'd be out rambling in my younger days. I bet the beach is nice right now. I loved when I used to ride my motorcycle through the mountains and would pass from the sunlight to the shade of the mountains and the trees, the air would be so chilly and then you'd pop back out in the sun. What a rush. Maybe I will go fishing one day.

Friday the 13th
I guess I'm just as superstitous as the next fella but I am glad I forgot today was Friday the 13th. I went about my day in ignorant bliss not knowing that impending doom was about to strike me at any second. I will not cross the path of a black cat, no really! I will turn around and go a different way or wait till another breaks the cross, I mean goes on across the path and then I consider the curse of the black cat to be broken.
I get feelings of dread or impending crisis that usually come true. Maybe it is just self-fulling prophecy, I don't know. I have months that are bad. The months of August and September are especially bad for me. Most bad stuff happens to me then. Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned it, it may make it worse.
I have lucky knives and coins and this and that. I have had times of deja vu when I knew what was going to be said or happen before it does. I can sense some bad things. Its just a feeling. Doesn't everyone do this? I don't believe so much in haints and ghosts but I know they can be real. I just don't think there are as many as folks let on there are. Now mind you I don't go poking around in graveyards or spooky houses at night either.

My Morning Rant or Thoughts
One of the greatest things about FB it has brought together so many friends with like goals together. I think this is a good thing but it scares me too. I don't trust that the fact of this will be used against the people at some point in time. I can give you an example. Every time somebody goes Postal, they say well he had this or that on FB. I believe that if the government or someone with lots of power could just go into or hack into FB and "round em up boys". Just food for thought, I worry about this though. I don't think that even taking yourself off FB will stop this from happening. Everyone has a puter now-a-days so there are many ways to track you even by cell. I just hope that it never comes to that. I am a positive person and I try to see good in everyone but at times I have found this to be a difficult task.
I pray to God to keep me and my family and friends safe from harm. I do hope and pray for relief for the victims of the flooding and tornado folks. I always have to ask myself why do bad things happen to good people. I know the answer but I just don't understand. I guess that's why we are called "children" of God.
Pray everyday. Love your family. Take time to say "I love you." I like to have a "sit down" meal at the dinner table, at least once a day. You come together as a family. It don't hurt to say a blessing. I know I'm the world's worst at this. I'm a pig when it comes to food. Lift up your family and friends to God. Say a prayer for our leaders and country. I'm not perfect, just forgiven. I don't look down on anyone who doesn't believe but I do feel compassion for them, especially if they are a friend. I have done a lot of bad things, I guess everyone has and we beat ourselves up for it. I have gotten better as I grew older. I think my body said "Jim, the party is over". I had to slow down or I wouldn't be around anymore.

Is it Just Me?
I am getting these calls from political groups for this and that and the bottom line is always money. They want $200 to $300, are you kidding me? If I had that money I'd pay my bills. I just don't ever remember getting these kind of calls in the past.

Cold Spring Rain
I sat and watched the rain out the window. I thought about my Mom who would have been 98 May the 4th. She passed back in 99. I think about her everyday, and miss her. Its funny how sitting watching it rain can trigger so many memories, times long gone. I walked outside and the wetness of the grass was cold. My ankles and legs hurt because of arthritis. The cold almost makes it feel like they are cramping and harder to move.
I think about Mom and knowing Sunday is Mother's Day. I miss her. I feel like she is with me sometimes, so close. I feel so all alone. My kids are all grown and have their lives and not much time for their Dad, maybe I just wish they were around more. I miss them.
I always liked to watch the lightning and see it streak across the sky. It's so powerful and scary. The thunder follows. There has been so many bad storms you pay more attention to them now. I hope we don't have anymore tornadoes.
