Canadian bacon and pinapple is one of my favorite pizza's. Whats the deal????

Where do I jion thats my kind of church

This dates me and I must make the statment that I nolonger drink. But thats not the point. Rednecks,White Socks and Blue Ribbon Beer The barmaid is mad cause some guy made a pass The jukebox is playin' there stands the a glass The cigarette smoke kinda hangs in the air Rednecks, white socks and Blue Ribbon Beer A cowboy is cussin' a pinball machine The drunk at the bar is gittin Orn'ry and mean Some guy on the phone says, "I'll be home soon dear" Rednecks, white socks and Blue Ribbon beer No we don't fit in with that white collar crowd We're a little too rowdy and a little too load But there's no place that I'd rather be than right here With our rednecks, white socks, and Blue Ribbon beer The semi's are passing on the highway outside The 4:30 crowd is about to arrive The suns goin down and we'll all soon be here With our rednecks, white socks, and Blue Ribbon beer No we don't fit in with that white collar crowd We're a little to rowdy and a little too load But there's no place that I'd rather be than right here With our rednecks, white socks, and Blue Ribbon beer With our rednecks, white socks, and Blue Ribbon beer. This is the 60's version of the redneck song. I left the white collar world with my corporate credit card, lease car, and expense account. To move to a small town and open my own bussiness. Hell yes I'm a redneck

The true moral of the story is. Why cant I be there when the really great stuff happens.

I bet you believe everything the media says. Lets not forget that this is an English newspaper. They are realy known for not spinning a story.

I go to Baptist church today and fit in great. When my beliefs vary from a lot of other people. In fact I'm not even considered the strange one. What I tell people is that if you study the bible you will have beliefs that are different than other people. What I get out of it is a little differant then the next person. Watch out for the person that blindly believes whatever is spouted out from behind a pulpit or from some great man of God. I believe that God gave me a mind to use. Maybe this is why I didnt last that long in TWI.

My wife had several lumps checked and then they found cancer. Since the cancer was found early she survived. I have known three women who have died from breast cancer. My wife is 11 years in remission now because of early detection. Please dont wait. Do it now. If you want to know why I'll give you a few reasons. The first is your kids. Do you want them to not have a mom. For the second go visit a cancer hospital. Cancer sucks.

38 and its right

American Idol, who cares. Give me more CSI. If my wife answered it would be more Survivor.

Joey you have got a great neighbor. I would buy yourself a semi auto rifle. You can pick up one for less than $500. I know many ranchers that will shot any dog they see on sight. Wild dogs kill livestock like crazy. Dogs will chase deer just for sport. They run the animal till it drops and then kill it and leave. They don't even eat it. People who dump dogs are hurting the dog when they think its better than taking it to the pound. Many dogs starve because they have had all the hunting bread out of them.

I will not defend or prosecute VPW. It is now almost 30 years since I left. So why am I here trying to let the anger out. In 1975 when I took the class I was on the way to great things. Four years later I was confused and bitter about christians, preachers, fast preachers anf generaly most religous leaders. I listen to a sermon/lesson and I try and tear it apart to see what is behind the mesage. Call me a doubting Thomas. It is hard to believe so called religous leaders to this day. The only way today for me to believe is to find personal faults. I need to know a person enough to know their strugles and problems. When I know they are human and can fail, but have a loving and giving heart then I know where they are coming from. When I know where my pastors weakneses are and then see him forgive/accept other people with their problems then I know that he can be trusted at least a little. This is not what we should be like. We should trust our leaders. I try not to post or talk in a way that might lead a person wrong. I would love to be a pastor today and wonder if I would have been accept for TWI. I do not want to lead anyone in a path that is not true. I dont want to get to heaven and find that I was the cause for anyone to fall away or to have never had the chance to meet Jesus. What I am saying is that my confedence in what I am taught is no longer there. I want to believe. I can handle a person who opens up and says this is what I think God is telling me with this pasage rather than a slick orator. So tell me what I learned in The Way International?

Dogs even though they are domesticated are still animals. My oldest son brought his dog when he moved back home. He is part pit and part chow. Any family member and most other people can go play with him. The rougher the better. I think I could half beat him to death and he would come back for more. I can take the dog on a leach and he cowers around other dogs. UNTIL One day my two youngest were playing basketball in the driveway. He was wimpering through the fence to be with them. They brought him around to the front. At that moment a lose dog came into the yard. As he cowerd the larger dog bit him. Wrong move. My sons dog went wild. He took on a dog that was almost three times his size and literally tore him up. Unfortunitly my youngest did not realize you dont stop a dog fight by pulling the dogs apart. It only cost him 5 stitchs and a nasty scare on his hand. I dont trust dogs and dont want any.

I got out back in the 70's when things were nice. I had no idea that things got as nasty as Belle discribes. Belle my heart goes out to you. Mid life crisis is that time in your life when you relize that your life isnt going to be as you always imagined. That moment really really sucks. Just remember that God has something special for you. I am going to treat on other posts and say that revalation comes sometimes when we are at our lowest and having to totally rely on God. When we realize that we have totally been screwed. Just remember that all things good come to those who trust the Lord. Sometimes we just dont recognize them when we see them. I guess the best thing that happened to me was that my time of involvment came when I was young and wouldnt take any crap off anyone. I have a letter here in my desk drawer that my moms minister sent to her. Here is the letter "I finally found a booklet on THE WAY. I read it and made a few loines under some of the things that seem to be off. There are more off points in the booklet, and I thought maybe I should not send it, but then I had promised, and you need to know the real facts, and perhaps you can prayfully discuss this with your son. Don't let it upset you, for he will come off it some of these days." Guys I'm sorry I can't finish the letter. It hurts to relive the pain my family went thru because of my rejection of them.

I know this older gentleman that has a complete regulation size deal set up on his front lawn. Several times I've gone over and played with him. He is very serious about his game. This isnt fun its for blood kind of attitude.

The one time I knew God saved my life. It was in 1973 and I was pulling out onto San Pedro in San Antonio. I had just left the drive in theater with my girl friend. The lght changed and I started out into the intersection. I heard a horn and saw a semi right at my door. The next thing I knew I was in the ditch with out a scratch. He never touched the car. The truck driver came back to see how we were. He knew he had hit us and was worried that we were dead. The only answer is that God moved my car off the road. Otherwise I would have been under 40000lbs of hogs. God does work miracles.

Now hold on a minate ex10. We have had enough of them yankee's moving down here with there strange ideas. I for one vote to KEEP TEXAS for TEXAN's. By the wat it got to 90 yesterday and were busy servicing them air conditioners.

Topoftheworld you need to hold on a minate. I am a member of a Baptist church in a small town in Texas. We are on city sewer and don't have the septic system. Whats wrong with the preacher wear'n boots? Doen't everybody. The organ doesn't bother the dogs. It bothers the sound guy and everyone else in the balcony where the speakers are. You forgot about the goats. They outnumber the sheep 3 to 1. Yes everyone smiles about rain for the first 3 inchs. After that everyone cuses. You got to repair all the gaps, fix the road, and watch for flooding. We only have one Bubba. Mikes on the other hand are evrywhere. By the way it was catfish. They are a lot biger than the bass. No one gets buried in their truck. It cost to much to dig the whole. People get ticked when you start blasting in the cemetary. Now blasting at the river works great for getting the biguns. He usally finishs with I'll see yall down at Luby's.

I remember being one of the few people with a pickup. I was everyones best friend when they needed to move. Four girls lived together. I worked for 2 hours before anyone else bothered to show up.

I had to send the link to my wife. She has onstar and I think blonde roots sometimes.

I just showed my secretary the clip. Her responce is classic. "If I could change that fast I'd change twnty times a day". Cloths manufactureers take note.

Where was she when I went to junior high. Thats the Lafave woman. In fact I remember as many male teachers in junior high as female. O course if we got out of line they took a very large piece of lumber to our hind section.

Here I sit not more than 90 miles from the boarder. Shoot I just back saturday from there. The red neck comes out some times and I'll have a beer or a shoot of JD. Ya'll can keep all the pot, grass, weed, Mary-Jane, Loko Weed or what ever you want to call it. I remember smoking some after twig and driving home. The tc was the one who gave it out. I was driving up the Gulf Freeway and remember waking up and seeing I was driving through a spped trap. Wow man were going through a spped trap and then I feel back asleep. Please remember that I was driving. After that you couldn't get me to touch it. Today I'll stick with ice tea and DR Pepper. I like whats left of my mind.

Its not a cultural thing its a person thing. I just got back from a week in Mexico. I am actually thinking of moving there. Thats right they are trying to come here and I want to move there. I will say that I like the Mexicans in Mexico more than the latino's here. I have lived in Texas my whole life and have been the minority rather than the majority. People are people and you met one who push's his ethnicity as a means to get ahead. Fire him and don't worry. The fact that the doctors hire and retain other lationo's will stop any law suit in its tracks. Besides his pride will prevent him from fileing a suit. If it was Texas it would be better. This is an :"AT WILL" state. I can fire an employee for any reason at any time. Sex and age are some exceptions but thats hard to prove.

Texas atracts all kinds because our laws favor private property rights. What you do on your own land is your business. El Dorado is 150 miles away and everyone around here thinks there just nuts. We fear the FBI more than we fear them. The feds say we cant clear land. They say we cant drill water wells. We would do just great if all the coasters (east and west) would stay out of our business. As soon as a towne from San Angelo or El Dorado gets in trouble there every thing will change. Sheriff departments in west Texas have there own way of handling things.
