If you make it idiot proof they will build a better idiot

i started this week with a circumcision and vasectomy. I had ask my doctor about the vasectomy since my wife is pregnant with our fourth child. We had made the choice to have a vasectomy. When doc took a look he told me of the possible problems with not being circumcised and diabetes. So i was all for it after the story of amputation!

So here it is the day after. I am ok except two sore spots that are at the top of my pubic area. I have no idea why but it is sore as…. well you know what it feels like to get kicked? it is that bad. Although all the pain i am in i thank it was the best thing i could have done. What a gift to my wife. She does not have to take birth control pills ever again. No more hormones. I would go though this again if needed just so she would not have to go through a surgery or taking drugs that might cause problems later in life.

so here is a update on what is going on here enjoy!!

Kind of a strange post title looking at this last week around here, but i am not talking about that. See i have asked for help to complete some tasks that i have to do and get no help. Makes me want to give up on the task or at least the people that i asked.

You know the type and i have been one, at least once.

See i know this is a human thing. To forget about someone elses problems and put your own first. I see this everyday and it is sad but some say part of life. Lastnight at church a lady gave a small testamony about this, about people forgeting what you are going through and the shame that one has to remind others. I understand her pain. So i am still with the question do i give up on the task or the people who did not reply.

I just left the viewing for hale. Wonder why the call it that. A viewing, sounds so industrial and cold. Like we all drove by a crash scene to stare at what happened. Just don’t seem right. Why not just call it what it was, fellowship. Now there is a title that I can hang a tooth in. Fellowship that is what I want when I go and that is what I see that we did tonight. Merriam-Webster online defines fellowship as
1a: community of interest, activity, feeling, or experience b: the state of being a fellow or associate
2: a company of equals or friends

That is a better title we all went in the company of equals or friends to honor a fellow associate. There were hugs, laughs and a few tears. Myself I can wait on the tears. If you have no idea what it is like to see a friend that is the same age as you lying in a casket then you need to let a knee hit the floor and thank god! I have had a few lost love ones in my young life of 36 but this time we are the same, kind of hard to swallow.

A great man once said to lose something that you can only hold is hard but to lose something that you can only feel is tragic. I believe he was talking about friendship. There was some people there tonight that I was not sure I wanted to talk to but they spoke to me. So being the best christen I can be I returned the favor. You know pride is a hard thing to swallow and my is dang near impossible to get down. I just can’t seem to bite it into small enough pieces. There is some country song that I heard a few months back that had a line that said something like “I believe every able body person should work.” then he went on to say “you may not know where I am going but you know where I stand”. Man that is powerful. I don’t know any more of the song or who sings it, for all I know it is old as dust. Just a good message that I got out of it.

I wonder did hale ask. As Danny or Sammy said tonight did he ask lord forgive me. I don’t know. I believe that hale is a christen, I know he was saved. Do I agree with the one-way ticket to hell? No.

Augustine argued in the fifth century that suicide was a violation of the sixth commandment, “You shall not murder” (Exodus 20:13). Later, Thomas Aquinas, being Catholic and believing that confession of sin must be made prior to departure from the world to the next, taught that suicide was the most fatal of all sins because the victim could not repent of it. The problem with his view is that it represents a gross misunderstanding of eternal security, which Scripture clearly teaches. We are saved by the grace of God, not by works (Ephesians 2:8-9) and nothing can separate a Christian from the love of God (Romans 8:37-39). So with all this in mind I KNOW hale is in heaven.

ps. yes i added the links cause you are lazy and i know you would not look them up.

This site is normally used to rant about what or whoever I have to deal with and normally does not leave a good impression about the subject in question, but this post is different. I have spent sometime today reflecting on things today. Please keep unsporting comments to yourself or be tomorrow’s post

Saturday April 12Th started as a great day. Great weather. It was our annual fish fry fund raiser at church. I got to the church as soon as I could to help with whatever was needed. We had a great time preparing the food and sold a ton. We were winding down at about 6:30pm or so I got a call from a friend that told me that Hale Lucker’s life ended today. The facts around his death where not known at the time

As I sat there in a mild shock I thought of hale and tried to question what happened to him. Although things have changed around here lately I still thought of hale as a friend and will miss him dearly. See there was a group of friends that I have split off of, mostly due to family, church and work obligations. Hale was in this group but we stayed in contact from time to time. Hale was the type of guy that you could have an intelligent conversation or debate with and know that he came fully equipped to hold his own. I all ways enjoyed the visits with him. I can remember times that he would start laughing so hard about whatever or whomever that it would choke him. I will truly miss my friend and pray for his family A very special Prayer to the one person that was a rock in hale’s life, his mom. Please add them to your pray list as it is needed.
