One step at a time !!
I know God walks with Margie and I as we better our temples. Lord, sometimes the struggle is hard and temptation rears its ugly head. But God arms us with His armor and protects us along the journey !
Well .. Goodbye Situation !!
Mike the Situation Sorrentino got axed last night on Dancing With The Stars.
I guess Florence Henderson and Jennifer Grey are doing great !
And the chubby Disney star. There won't be another one like Mike though. Big ups to Joisey !

A Walk at Fallen Timbers Memorial. 10/3/2010
We took a wonderful walk today at Fallen Timbers Memorial Park off the Trail.
We went over the bridge and I walked over to see Turkeyfoot Rock and the statue of the Indians and soldiers who died at the Battle Of Fallen Timbers.

50 !! I'll never come this way again !!
I have been so blessed to have found the riches I never achieved long ago .
I have found my Jesus, I have been blessed with the gift of a lovely wife, who is my all in all. I have 2 fine sons, and precious grandchildren and with God and them I have all the riches a man could want !
I sing praises in church, when as a child, my brother told me I sang like a frog ... I play the drums and congas on a Praise Team, when I was aged 4 I saw Ringo Starr on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964, and clanged the aluminum garbage can lids, to my Mother's approval ! She one day bought me my first drum set, with money she saved !
We have found a wonderful church, with an equally wonderful Pastor, and the best congragation, I have ever been a part of. There are not enough exclamation points to describe the joy I feel in my soul to sing to the Lord in church, and be asked to sing at a Gospel Mission to guys who are like I was 21 years ago.
At the age of 50, I am happy, joyous and free !! I am blessed, I hope I lift others the way they lift me. On cloudy days, I look for the positiveness in life. Being human sometimes it isn't easy. But we thank God when our feet touch the floor. Someone only has one foot touch the floor. Be grateful, do for others. Be good, do better, love your job, your co-workers, do good for others. Go to church, be active, don't touch a hot flame, our parents taught us these and many lessons. Teach our children. Train a child in the way they should go ...
I was read the Bible as a child. At church we were read Bible verses and then a sermon. I look more at the Bible verses now than I have ever done before. We attend 2 Bible classes, one my wife and I are honored to moderate, the Monday Night bible Buster's. Wednesdays we attend 2 separate Bible studies one for Men and one for Women. We throroughly enjoy learning God's word every week, and seeing how The Bible ties into our everday lives !
We have been walking lately, and I thank God and my wife, Margie for encouraging me, and being an inspiration. A new way of life ... at 50 !!
I want someday to swing my grandson, Vander on a swing, I want to walk my grandaughter, Mariah down the aisle with her Father, on her wedding day !
Today at 50, I want to live, and with God, all things, ARE possible !!

Well...
Michael Bolton went home, and The Situation went on for another week.
But we can't keep sliding in there just barely ! We have to get a great performance next week !
Jennifer Vs. Sitch
Well, ok, Jennifer Grey is very good, but it's in her blood.
Her father is dancer, singer, Joel Grey of Broadway fame.
Sitch needs to step it up 3 notches, if he survives this week.
Otherwise, I'll have to root for Florence Henderson or
someone else ! See ya soon to post about Tuesday nights results.
Jennifer Grey and the spirit of Patrick Swayze.
I think all that is to woo the ladies vote and for publicity ! Whatever it takes, huh ?
I'll add her 2 videos all in fairness and judge for myself !
Mike the Situation Sorrentino DWTS
I guess by now you've noticed, I am rooting for Mike Sorrentino, on Dancing With The Stars on ABC. I think he is the most athletic, charismatic and can get the job done ! Being we are at Bibke study when the Monday night show is on, we've missed the first 2 shows. It's Tuesday Sept. 28th as I write this and I watched and uploaded last nights show from youtube.com Although, Judge Len Goodman and the others don't care for Sitch, I think he has a big fan base, despite last week, that will take him far !

Some pictures of me.
I remember when people used to take pictures in the 50's and 60's in photo booths.
I never got to do that, so I made my own.
Not ego, just wanted to.

LeBron or Jesus ?
No other choice but Jesus.
All else is ego and money !
They call him King James, when Christ the Lord
is King over all !
Today celebrate Christ Jesus !
Let the discussions around the water cooler
be about the one true God !
God is real !

Milton Hershey and James Dean Grave stones
Milton S. Hershey, founded a home for orphaned boys in Hershey, Pennsylvania. He built a chocolate empire and was one of the most generous people ever !
He married but he and his wife were unable to bear children. Thus forming an orphanage for boys and girls, free of charge. Even today a portion of every chocolate bar price goes to keep the Orphanage going. He bought homes for his employees, Grande estates we seen when we visited there.
James Dean. Rebel without a cause, East of Eden and Giant. 3 films in 1954-55, made James Dean a legend. Too fast to live, to young to die ! He died in a fiery crash on Route 5 on the California coast. Margie and I visited his hometons of marion and Fairmount, Indiana a couple years ago. He lived with his Uncle and Aunt. And down the street from their home, where he also went to High School, is a graveyard with its most famous grave.

Ringo and those drums !!
February, 1964. Ok, I was 3 years old when The Beatles were on Ed Sullivan.
And we watched with amazement as the crowd went wild for the music and the 4 Lads from Liverpool. Me I loved the drums and the guy playing them ! I knew someday, I would own
a set and play them. Today, I play for the Lord at Heritage Church of God in Monclova, Ohio. But it all started with watching Ringo Starr and those drums.
Thanks, Ringo !!
My spot ... 1966
In 1966, when I was 6, it was a Spring/Summer day. About 75 degrees out, and it was about to
rain. I asked my mom if I could play in the rain out front. It costs less to
play in the rain than to get squirted !!
She said it was fine with her. Out front I ran around and danced and played by
myself. The telephone wires seemed so high up, back then.
The rain drops would fall onto the sidewalk below ...
From years and years of droplets falling on the front sidewalk, nature took
its course. The spot grew and grew. We had flat sidewalks out
front and there developed my spot, the feeling on the spot,under my feet was like a smooth shale.
I thought I could dance on the good foot like James Brown, or Jackie Wilson. I never seen anyone
else in my 37 years on Utica Street, ever claim that spot or notice it.
It was mine !!
I moved out 13 years ago, and since then, I've heard our Family home, had been burned
down !! It was kind of sad when I heard that. Last year, I drove by the old neighborhood and decided to drive by where my home once was.
They say, in the end you can take a mans home, but you can't take the earth below.
Thats forever !!
For now, my spot is still there,I don't have feeling in my feet anymore, due to Diabetes and if you seen this picture, it may not look like much more than an old sidewalk to you ... but to me, it is one of the greatest memories of my younger days !!
Now as I'm a month from turning 50, days and friends of yesteryear come to mind.
One friend I had as a 6 year old had was my spot !!
Thanks for being there for me.

Classic Movie Monsters
I once again visited findagrave.com and came up with Movie Monster Classics.
Bela Lugosi, Lon Chaney, and Boris Karloff. Lon Chaney Jr.'s body was donated
to science. He was the Wolfman in movies. His father Lon Chaney, Sr. was " The Man of a thousand faces. " He also was The Phantom of the Opera. Visit this site, it's better than flying to Los Angeles or Bucharest, unless you want to travel there !

The Rat Pack.
I used to love when my parents played music by the Rat Pack,
when I was growing up in the 60's.
Fran Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis,Jr. Peter Lawford and
Joey Bishop. I would love to one day have a video of them in concert.
Joey Bishop was cremated, so he doesn't have a grave marker.
