The last New Year I ever spent in California I went to sleep just before midnite. Fortunately for me I was not in a deep sleep, I awoke to the sound of bullets whizzing by, it was a warm New years eve and had the windows open. My children were very little. I went ouside (Some may say I was stupid at this point in time) But I am glad I did. There was a girl down the street and all I saw were boys and she was yelling help. I called the police and they put a stop to it whatever it was. I figured she was getting raped but I still have no clue what was going on down there I just know it didnt sound good.<BR/>Then something flaming hit the side of my house and caught it on fire, had to hurry and put that one out myself. Well needless to say that was the last New Year I ever fell asleep again before midnite whether I wanted to or not. And is now one of the many reasons I am in Oklahoma. But I make it a point these days to stay awake and watch someones New Year celebration. I think back on that nite and wonder what if. Now I appreciate every single New Year.Marie's Two Centshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12024589000490517815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12507451.post-1136185282364429282006-01-02T02:01:00.000-05:002006-01-02T02:01:00.000-05:00Happy New Year's Day, Mark!

Life ain't e...Faith and family Mark, you have both. Life ain't easy , it was not meant to be from the challenge of Eden to today. It is up to us as individuals to stand up and be counted. <BR/> Tim and I agree here, it is another day with an excuse for licentiousness, it ir our choice to join in or abstain . I went to bed before the ball dropped on NY. <BR/> I am however exilirated by american conservatism and its recent growth. This is no time to waiver or wax despondent, it is time to mount up for the coming battles and their are many on the horizon. As Doug Giles puts it, we can choose to be a bulldog warrior for Christ or a lapdog poodle of modern moral equivalency. Take heart my friend you are far from alone, we are here as well!Goathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11263194970690639096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12507451.post-1136162143289678622006-01-01T19:35:00.000-05:002006-01-01T19:35:00.000-05:00High-five to Tug!

He's just lucky that in southern California he gets more of his favorite type of weather than I do.<BR/><BR/>A friend of mine used to say, "If it weren't for bad luck I wouldn't have any luck at all."<BR/><BR/>Oh well, Mark.

And Polly replied..."Sounds like a good holiday to me!" <BR/><BR/>Maybe staying home, eating pizza, watching Home Improvement DVD's and drinking...hot tea and going to bed early is a good way to ring in the New Year. For the next morning there is no hangover! <BR/><BR/>That way, the only ringing in my ears is from a mispent youth at loud concernts and not the stupdity of drunkenness...<BR/>BlessingsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12507451.post-1136159326332336172006-01-01T18:48:00.000-05:002006-01-01T18:48:00.000-05:00You're a regular little ray of sunshine today, are...You're a regular little ray of sunshine today, aren'tchya?? :)<BR/><BR/>Well, Mark, they tell me that misfortune builds character, and you certainly are one...<BR/><BR/>Have a Happy New Year, whether you want one or not!!tugboatcapnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14751281215697965077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12507451.post-1136142163099039122006-01-01T14:02:00.000-05:002006-01-01T14:02:00.000-05:00I've been told that luck is a reward for the skill...I've been told that luck is a reward for the skillful.
