The Land That Made Me, Me
The Land That Made Me, Me Long ago and far away, in a land that time forgot,Before the days of Dylan , or the dawn of Camelot.There lived a race of innocents, and they were you and me. For Ike was in the White House in that land where we were born, Where navels were for oranges, and Peyton Place was porn. We longed for love and romance, and waited for our Prince, Eddie Fisher married Liz, and no one’s seen him since. We danced to ‘Little Darlin,’ and sang to ‘Stagger Lee’And cried for Buddy Holly in the Land That Made Me, Me. Only girls wore earrings then, and…

The Old Paths
The Old Paths I think we all long for days gone by. For days that we remember fondly or even just an era that we have heard about. Life back then just seemed simpler, kinder and yes even easier. Things seemed to make sense I think everyone of every generation dreams of earlier days. Here is a chance to think and reminisce for a few minutes of how things used to be back in the day!

Crime did not pay;Hard work did;And people knew the difference. Moms…

The Shoe Man A “Soul” Touching Life Lesson I showered and shaved………….. I adjusted my tie. I got there and sat………….. In a pew just in time. Bowing my head in prayer……… As I closed my eyes.. I saw the shoe of the man next to me….. Touching my own. I sighed. With plenty of room on either side…… I thought, ‘Why must our soles touch?’ It bothered me, his shoe touching mine… But it didn’t bother him much. A prayer began : ‘Our Father’…………. I thought, ‘This man with the shoes, has no pride. They’re dusty, worn, and scratched. Even worse, there are holes on the side!’…

Listen To The Whisper, Don’t Wait For The Brick
Listen To The Whisper, Don’t Wait For The Brick How many times does life throw a brick at you to get your attention? I guess that we are all too easily distracted. TV, commercials, radio and advertisement, and toys – too much of these things have drowned out life’s voice. A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag’s side door! He slammed on the…

A Life Lesson On The Damage Of Nails
A Life Lesson On The Damage Of Nails There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the day came when the boy didn’t lose his temper at all.…

Two Horses
Two Horses Just up the road from my home is a field, with two horses in it. From a distance, each horse looks like any other horse. But if you get a closer look you will notice something quite interesting… One of the horses is blind. His owner has chosen not to have him put down, but has made him a safe and comfortable barn to live in. This alone is pretty amazing. But if you stand nearby and listen, you will hear the sound of a bell. It is coming from a smaller horse in the field. Attached to the horse’s halter is a small, copper-colored bell. It lets…
