Mother's Day 2012

Thank You My Son Alex for the Picture and Poem Today

You are so very special to me, Son. You always know just what to say to make my day. I love your poem and card you handmade for me. You know just how to speak to my heart.


 I'm very fortunate to have been blessed by two of the greatest Men I've ever known, My Sons. I have so much Respect and Love for you and your brother Dustin.

Although, He's in Heaven, He's right here in our hearts forevermore. Here's a card you both picked out for me and surprised me with. I read it often and I'm so grateful for the two of you, God so graciously blessed me with.
I Love you Always..

Happy 67th Birthday to Mama In Heaven



Happy 67th Birthday In Heaven Mama.
I can't begin to say how grateful it has been to be raised by such a wonderful Mother.

There's not a moment that goes by that your Morals and values you stood for and taught are right here at the forefront of my mind and heart most of all.

There are some very challenging days especially as now that I'm a just turning a year older than you were when you left to go be with Jesus.

Because of you is who I am today. We all are even the children you helped raise which into you gave as much love as you did your own. That I admire and will always.

The Buttercups are blooming, and that was one of your favorite things as you'd have us go dig them up to plant in our yard and all the neighbors yards. As you also had us do with all the blueberries, blackberries, muskedimes. You'd make all sorts of things with all of it all.

You were such a woman, a lady of improvisation and it still and always will amaze me.

Here is a picture of one of the peoples houses you fed every chance you got just so you knew your neighbors had food. To you and what you taught was always treat your neighbor as you would yourself just like the Bible says.

 Love you Mama and you'd be amazed at all your Grandchildren and I know you're with Dustin in Heaven so I know he's alright in yours and God's arms.

Lessons From Geese


Fact One

As each goose flaps it's wings it creates an "uplift" for the birds that follow. By following the "V" formation, the whole flock adds 71% greater flying range than if each bird flew alone.


~Lesson~People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going quicker and easier because they are travelling on the trust of one another.

Fact Two

When a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of flying alone. It quickly moves back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird immediately in front of it.

~Lesson~If we have as much sense as a goose we stay in formation with those headed where we want to go. We are willing to accept their help and give our help to others.


Fact Three

When the lead goose tires, it rotates back in to the formation and another goose flies to the point position.


~Lesson~It pays to take turns doing the hard tasks and sharing leadership. As with geese, people are interdependent on each other's skills, capabilities and unique arrangements of gifts, talents and resources.


Fact Four

The geese flying in formation honk to encourage those up front to keep up with their speed.


~Lesson~We need to make sure our honking is encouraging. In groups where there is encouragement, production is much greater. Individual empowerment results from quality honking.


Fact Five

When a goose gets sick, wounded or shot down, two geese drop out of formation to follow it down to help and protect it. They stay with it until it dies or is able to fly again. Then, they launch out with another formation or catch up with the flock.

~Lesson~If we have as much sense as geese, we will stand by each other in difficult times as well as when we are strong.
