Every Good Man..Father..Son... & Brother...

Father_n_son

To be your father is the greatest honor I have ever received. It allowed me to touch mystery for a moment, and to see my LOVE made flesh. If I could have but one prayer, it would be for you to pass that LOVE along. After all, there is not much more to LIFE than that.

It is my attempt to give you the lessons of my life, so that you can use them in yours. They are not meant to make you into me. It is my greatest joy to watch you become yourself. But time reveals truths, and these truths are greater than either of us. If I can give them voice in a way that allows me to walk beside you during your days, then I will have done Well.

The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother. ~Theodore Hesburgh

Toby Keith - Cryin' For Me (Wayman's Song)

Toby Keith song, "Cryin' For Me," a tribute to the late Wayman Tisdale. It's really a beautiful song and the video is terrific. Tobey Keith ft. Dave Koz, Marcus Miller and Arthur Thompson - which begins with the outgoing message from Tisdale's answering machine. Makes us miss Wayman even more. Take a look below. "Cryin for Me" Got the news on Friday morning But a tear I couldn't find You showed me how I am supposed to live Now you showed me how to die I was lost til Sunday morning I woke up to face my fear While writing you this goodbye song I found a tear I'm going to miss that smile I'm going to miss you my friend Even though it hurts the way it ended up I'd do it all again So play it sweet in heaven Cause that's right where you want to be I'm not cryin cause I feel so sorry for you I am cryin for me I got up and dialed your number Your voice came on the line That old familiar message I've

I Always Feel Like Somebody's Watching Me!

August 29, of this year (2010), my queen and I will be married for twenty three years. As I look back on that day, I smile as I remember how my queen laughed as she told me that she could tell how nervous I was by the way I repeated my vows. She said as I spoke my vows my tone became louder and louder, this is how she came to the conclusion that I was nervous. I personally don’t believe that I was nervous at all. I was and remain the same today, confident and sure regarding the decision that I was making. I can honestly say that this statement is one of fact because I feel stronger and more assured today regarding my decision to marry…even more than I did on my wedding day. Thinking back I start to ponder my vows and how they have been tested and tried. What did we declare on that day before God and man? We declared to be together for richer or for poorer, for better or for worst, in sickness and in health, till death us do part. Funny but most of us only hear, receive and live half

Is there a difference between a Farmer and a Gardener?

By Gloria Whyte A farmer by definition is a person who cultivates the land. A gardener by definition is a person who cultivates seedlings and their offspring for growth and future transplantation. To cultivate means the preparation process of working the land/soil in order to raise crops/plants. So why do I care about a farmer or a gardener? Sounds as though the farmer and the gardener do the same thing, they both cultivate. But believe me there is a difference and it is a big one, the difference between the farmer and the gardener is what they cultivate, how they cultivate and what happens to what is cultivated. Let us start with what they cultivate. Are you a crop or a plant? Is the person giving you guidance a farmer or a gardener? Are you being raised for just a season or are you being raised to be transplanted. Crops are cultivated for consumption and plants are cultivated for growth and transplanting. Plants are raised to be transplanted into pots, moving from
