My Last Great Adventure

 I just finished watching the NASCAR race at Martinsville. Earl was excited with the finish. It’s been a great weekend. Yesterday Jean and I watched the Chosen Last Supper movie and went out to eat.  Today we caught the early service at The Church of the Harvest. Great music and message today. Pastor Rob spoke about the roles of women in the church. I loved hearing his message as I have come out of 70 years of the Southern Baptist Convention. I have always believed that if it were not for women, the SBC would have fallen apart years ago. Harvest embraces roles for everyone willing to serve and that’s how it should be. In addition, the Harvest Kids were selling spaghetti meals as a fund raiser. I got 2 and Jean and I lunched together at her house.  My daughter Meredith and her husband Gus are coming back from Austin Texas after a mini vacation. I talked to my other daughter Chris last night. She is staying busy helping her Uncle Jerry with building a new house, working ove...

 March 29, 2025 Good evening. I just got back from watching “Chosen The Last Supper”. Good movie. Still has a couple of pieces to come to the theaters. Jean and I went to Mug Shots for dinner afterwards. It has been a good week, I closed on my cash out refi and got funded yesterday. First Horizon charged me a $15 transfer fee when I moved some money to savings. I did it electronically myself. I will be talking in person at First Horizon on Monday. I had my 6 month Urologist checkup on Thursday. I was in the building for 1 1/2 hours to get my BP checked, get punctured for blood and answer 5 minutes of questions for the good doctor. But I did get 5 needle puncture bruises while the nurse was learning how to draw blood. I think she is now eligible to get that license from Walmart now. I took Tracy to her doctor appointment afterwards while Jean took care of the baby. We all went to Applebees for dinner. My Cpap machine is allowing me to get a good nights sleep now. Mert and Gus are in...

Earl asked that I update our blog.   Good evening! It’s 6:26 on Tuesday March 11, 2025. I haven’t posted anything in a little while. Life is moving on since I fell in my kitchen and split my head open on Jan 10. My head is healing up but slowly. But life is moving on.  My relationship with Loretta (Jean) is greater than I could have ever imagined. She is an amazing, wonderful person. We both like so many of the same things. It’s surreal sometimes. I love her family and the interpersonal relationships between all of them.  I am still dealing with weakness in my knees and legs but I did manage to serve one Sunday as an usher at Church of the Harvest and have another couple of opportunities in the next few weeks. It is an amazing feeling when you walk into the sanctuary with about 5 minutes left before the praise team starts up. Kinda  gives you goose bumps. This is an amazing church. The kind of church I wish I had found in 1985.  My Bucket List has been whittled ...
