You know, many of us here are not computer operators, by that I mean, we didn't grow up with computers. We had manual typewriters, if lucky enough we used an electric typewriter and we could type about 50 words a minute. Sitting here this morning wondering what the heck is wrong with my computer, I admit I am not computer smart. I am now convinced to operate this machine, you need a computer degree.
Here is my life before the computer: Memory was something that you lost with age. An Applica

Communion on the Moon
I love this. How many of you knew????? Too bad this type news doesn't travel as fast as bad news.
Communion on the Moon: July 20th, 1969 (This is an article by Eric Metaxas)
Forty years ago two human beings changed history by walking on the surface of the moon. But what happened before Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong exited the Lunar Module is perhaps even more amazing, if only because so few p
We all have need for prayer, it's the power of prayer we ask in God's name just as Christ Jesus did so often. Every one here stands in the need of prayer. When asked, I pray with you and for your needs.

Many of you know last year I did a brand new garden with my 5-year old grand daughter. Well, this year she has gotten over the excitement of putting a seed in the ground and watch it produce tomatoes, vegetables and flowers. She'll be 6 soon and her attention has turned to classroom stuff, writing, reading and playing music. She loves to hear Beyonce sing and dance. She did really good with her Easter speech in the school play, she wanted to do the Bunny rabbit dance too but they told her next y
A great time of year, especially since it was record snow and now record rain and flooding in the north eastern states. Maybe we will get an early start on flowers and gardens this spring and summer. I realize many of you love to grow things, feed the birds and go fishing and camping.
I miss my motor home for that purpose, camping out, getting away from it all. This time of the year does make you miss what you can't do physically anymore like you once enjoyed doing them. Nevertheless, we ca
Well my dear members, it's high time we get out the house, let our feet hit the ground or the pavement. Walk in the grass, walk all around the house, see some parts of it you haven't seen since the snow covered everything. See if it's time for a new roof, siding, replace the garage door, springs or get a new remote opener.
I plan on putting down the weed-B-gone and round-up along the fence line to kill the winter weeds. The ant mounds gotta be treated too. Secure all the fire wood you got l
Someone sent this interesting email to me about oil in the US. I had just complained to myself about the gas prices today as I wanted to fill up my tank but the price was back at 2.70 a gallon for regular. I had been enjoying filling up at 2.29 a gallon. I guess that price is gone for now unless the stock market falls again soon.
With the unemployment rate hovering around 10%, I figured the gas would remain low for awhile. Well, that's not the case here in Texas. The following email explain
I saw GMA this morning and the kids are getting into trouble on the computer again. This time it's dangerous for them and they are warning the parents to "beware."
I was thinking...older persons like myself would never get into trouble cause we wouldn't know how to even use the computers...I still don't. For that reason I'm posting the following phone calls, etc., that people make to operators everyday. No kidding, I never knew what a Blog was, that's why it was so long before I tried to do
It's one thing to know what we got left after a stroke, but it's another to really be thankful for what we got left in terms of what we can do on our own without any or much assistance's. I think that's the point in our recovery process when we come to grips with what has happened in our lives no matter the age we are.
Some strokes happen in different parts of the brain for different people causing more or less lost of our body parts compared to another person. Then there's the difference i
Although the English language only has one word for LOVE, the Ancient Greeks had four words for LOVE. EROS, Philia, Agape and Storage. Each word depicts a type of love. Eros ~ Passionate love, Philia ~ Friendship love. Agape ~ A general love. Storage ~ Affectionate love.
According to legend, Valentines Day celebrates the death of the priest St. Valentine. Valentine was martyred for performing marriage ceremonies for young couples. The Roman emperor, Claudius felt that married men did not ma
Well, I've said Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Season greetings and now I say Happy Kawanzaa to all who celebrate this week long Pan African secular Holiday which primarily honors African American Heritage. It's observed from 26 December to 1 January each year, almost exclusively by African-Americans in the United States of America.
Kwanzaa consists of seven days of celebration, featuring activities such as candle-lighting and libations (sacrificial pouring of liquids), and culminating in
The Meaning of Christmas
Far away in Bethlehem, a Baby Boy was born; Born with neither riches nor with fame, Yet Wise Men came from all around to bring to Him their gifts, And peace was felt by all who heard His name.
Angels watched Him as He slept, and gently rocked His bed;
Their voices singing softly in His ear;
His Mother and His Father both gave thanks to God above
For the greatest gift of all, their Son, so dear
They knew His life upon this earth would not be filled wi
We are as a community and Army Post trying to get back to normal routines as much as possible. The bodies of our troops still arrive almost daily for funerals. We pray daily that these wars will end soon so these young families can enjoy their lives together. Soldiers are leaving almost weekly to the war zones.
The holidays won't be the same this year. Trying to get on the Army base is a struggle at the check points with vehicle inspections like it was six years ago. Some are still trying
As many of you know this has been a sad week for all of us here in Fort Hood, and Killeen, Texas. So many of us are retired veterans and a great number of active duty military and their families as well.
I just want to say a word about our church services this morning as we have many military members, active duty and retired. One female stood and gave testimony how she got out of a window that probably saved her life and a couple soldiers right behind her. Still others were wounded trying
My doctors are asking me to be more positive in my thoughts and attitude about life no matter my physical condition my body is undergoing in my recovery. They recommend positive shows, advise, and all true experiences I can tune in to and see what many other people are coping with in their lives.
Dr Phil's shows this week does just that, so I am posting the schedule here just to remind anyone who care to tune in if you got nothing better to do on these days or if you may be bored of the sam
First, I give credit to one of my email friends, VI, you all know as Mema. I chopped up her interesting email with music to create my own reason I will not go to a nursing home. More over, you guys have read where I've said to my wife, "Let me die at home." So, this email just hit the nail square on the head. I will live by this!
No Nursing Home For Me, I will die at sea!
Years ago, now I remember, my wife and I were on a cruise aboard a Princess cruise liner. At dinner we noticed a

We are a Charity non profit organization. Perhaps not very well known by many organizations or Businesses that would love to contribute to our cause of supporting stroke survivors every where on line.
Now, the US President has made it known he will give 1.4 million to charities which is his money from being elected as a Nobel Prize Winner this year..
How can we, the organization and over 8,000 members make it known to the president we would like to b
I thought this might be of interest to me since my mother was born in 1898 and her grand father was a slave. I will try at some point to do a trace of my past family beginnings just as this has been done on Michelle Obama. Quite interesting to me in historical terms.
Many people have little or no idea of their family history! Click below to read:

I've been wanting to blog about this topic for a week now so today I got the courage to tell my part. My attitude has changed, in part by my doctors, but then also by my pastor and my own sense of dealing with what I got left after the stroke I survived in 2004.
First of all I feel and know I have come a long way from where I was on that morning after it took me down. Of Course I have much joy and many folks to be thankful for where I am presently. That being said, attitude plays an importa
We all know October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It can be treated when caught in time by being aware of symptoms and the knowledge to self examine and of course see your primary care provider for scheduled examinations on a regular basis. Cancers in general for the most part can be prevented when we pay attention to our bodies and signs when something just isn't right.
In America, I really wish every living person had access to proper health care and doctors. My mother for instances d
I can't believe I'm blogging again within a week! I gotta say what I didn't realize about prices of everything these days. Well, I went to the Malls in Killeen and in Temple, the Post Exchange on the Military Base and was quite surprised at the prices of everything but in particular...The Clothing.
There wasn't a mans shirt in any store under 15.00 which I am used to paying less but like I said, I have not shopped for myself in a while. My wife usually does the buying for me. Maybe I'm too
A lady working in records department where we have to go to get a copy of any record you want for whatever reason shared this with me yesterday. I thought and thought about it, and sure enough, she was right on target. So I want to share this with all of you in a Blog setting.

Somehow over the past 49 years we have witness many hurricanes along the Gulf Coast and Houston, my hometown. I remember hurricane Carla and Betsey as the devastating ones causing great damage but no lost of life. Today is the fourth year since hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans. Mostly by causing breaks in the walls holding back the water.
As we sat and watched on TV the people struggle to free themselves from the water by going to their roof tops to await rescue, my father in law ha
Two Blogs in 10 days? That's a current day record for me you all. I still have no idea what my deficits are, just that they seem to be progressing toward a terrible end of my walking without falling. I saw an older doctor at the hospital last week as a referral from my arthritis doctor.
He deals with the back and spinal cord, I can't remember his title but some kind of arthritis. Anyway he asked me to call or go by the other hospitals I been treated at in the last 6 months to see if anyone
