Poem
My first taste of GOD was fed to me by my dear mother when she prayed with me by the bedside each night as she resighted to me The Lord's Prayer. Our FAMILY consisted of 12 children, mom, dad, grandma, and a dog named Jack. In my mind, I can presently see that big kitchen table and all of us gathered to eat. Our parents taught us by example the value of our family and our relatives. We visited our relatives on a regular basis and always feasted on the big three: fun, fellowship, and delicious food. We all went to Sunday school every Sunday and to CHURCH worship services once a month. There were scheduled revivals and water baptisms once a year In 55 years, I have spoken to only one childhood friend, and that was by telephone. I also saw him once more than 40 years ago. They were never forgotten, but other FRIENDS took their place. When I see where I am today, I remember all the ADVERSITIES and acknowledge the goodness and grace of God. The CAREER path that I took was decided when I was 14 years of age. Every road I ever took always connected me to that path. I remember the moment when I knew that she was the one. We have been MARRIED for 50 years, and she's still the one. The one ABODE that brings the most pain is the one that's no longer there. In the 8th grade, I played on our school's basketball team. The games I most Remember is one game that we lost by a large margin and one game that we won. There was no competition in the one we lost, 52 to 12. In that game, I learned about LOSING. The other game was one of the games we won in which I scored 4 pivotal points that changed the tempo of the game. In that game, I learned about WINNING. 100322PS
