Grief continues.....

After my wife lost her father, a few weeks later, I lost my mother. In my wife's situation, she and her siblings, including two step siblings, are all getting along fine. I believe the passing of both Charles and Evelyn Devol had the effect of bringing the children closer.

With my mother passing, my brother Chris and I are closer. However, my step father has probably decided to not follow my mother's wishes, and cut my brother and myself out of any inheritance. Does this make me angry? It did, but not because of the money involved in the trust fund. I am an old man now, and am actually quite well off financially. No, what really makes me angry is the absolute disregard Milton Samuel Beyer had for my mother. They were married for 39 years before my mother passed away, and now? Now she is evidently just a memory to him. He treated her like she was his servant, rather than his wife.

I have no doubt at all that my mother is in Heaven. I do believe that my stepfather is headed straight to Hell when he dies. He is 92 and frail. However, he still has the ability to be a total jerk, and he is in for a rude awakening. Life is about learning the proper way to love.  The Savior loves us all more than we can fathom. What we have to do to live with Him forever is to accept that he died for us, and confess our love for Him. Sam Beyer is a Godless waste of a human body. His only God is his money. I hope he enjoys it for the short time he has left on this earth. I do not hate the man, I am disappointed in him due to the shoddy way he treated my mother. I do not care about him being rude to me, I have a really thick skin.

I MISS AND LOVE YOU MOM! I WILL SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE!!!

A sad day today....

Normally, I totally enjoy Thanksgiving Day. I do not opt to think on the atrocities the European invaders did to my Native American ancestors, rather, I like to think on all the blessings I have and to be thankful to God for those blessings. I am doing this today too.

However, the love of my life is named Linda, Linda Lee Devol. She agreed to marry me on March 24, 1977 and we did so. She took my name, she bore me four wonderful sons, she has stood by me in all my stupidities over the years. Through all the ups and downs, round and rounds, in and outs, she has had my back. I am intensely in love with her.

This morning I got a text from her sister in California. Their father, Charles Robert Devol, is in ICU again, his blood pressure is falling rapidly, and this may well be it, he may pass on to the next life. He lost the love of his life earlier this year, she passed away in the ICU. 

I not only love Charles, he is one of the few men I have ever looked up to. He is the true definition of a hero. He has never wavered from his responsibilities, he raised five children pretty much on his own. Being a single daddy is in itself a heroic thing to do, but, Charles went to college at night to become a geophysicist. He succeeded in doing so, and provided a good living for his children to boot. 

I had to wake my sweetheart a few minutes ago to let her know what her sister Judy had texted to me. Linda had been up most of the night, and up really early, cooking the feast we will all be partaking of here in a few hours. I cannot even take her up to Oklahoma City to see her daddy today, there are no stations open to fuel my van so we can make the trip. Tomorrow, God willing, we will drive up there and attend unto her seeing her father. Hopefully, he will live long enough for her to love on him before he passes.

There is a preponderance of evidence that we are about to enter another phase in our nation's history. What am I talking about? There has been a concerted effort by socialists and communists to take our nation down, to destroy our way of life and make us a collective of misery. Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, and some of their relatives, sold nuclear secrets to the U.S.S.R. shortly after WW2. They were both executed by firing squad for espionage and treason. They deserved their punishment. Now, we have several politicians in this nation advocating socialism. If you really want to revue what happens under socialism/communism, do a bit of research on post WW2 Russia and China. Yet, many people in our nation believe there is something good and just about both socialism and communism. This is sheer ignorance, and the thing that scares me about those who espouse either of these systems, is that they can and do vote here in our country.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with helping our fellow citizens, nothing at all. However, if our fellow citizens live entirely on the money produced by the efforts of others, and do nothing to help themselves, this is very wrong.

When you do not work, and you can work, and you rely on others to provide your needs, you are a parasite. Plain and simple, you are a parasite and need to be removed from the body. Is this harsh? No, it is not. If you really want to see how a system works when socialism is enforced with the gun, go to Cuba and observe. Those who have an "official" menial job, also have to do something else in the black market economy to survive.

I am not political, not at all. But if you are a huge Hillary or Bernie supporter, you will rue the day if you are successful in getting one or the other elected. Someone has to pay for all those platform promises. You will see ever increasing taxes, less and less freedom, and eventually, we will be a mirrored reflection of China or the old United Soviet Socialist Republic. Later taters...

OFFENDING THE MUSLIM EXTREMISTS.....

I have a penchant for offending people. Been that way all my life. I say what is on my mind and to hell with the consequences. This practice has not stood by me over the years, it has caused me a great deal of regret. However, I have had more than a few Muslims slam me on different social sites, and since this is my personal blog, I do not have to tolerate them here. I know they do read this and pick it apart. Many have told others that I am all bluff and bluster with no substance. NOT TRUE! All you goat humpers take notice, the guns and knife below are just a few of my implements of destruction. I am always packing the shooters when I go out, and if I don my gun belt, the knife is on there too. The guns are large bore, each can shoot .357 hollow point ammo, and will literally blow your head off. No need for a sword, but.....if I do decide to use a blade on you, the knife is razor sharp. If you want Sharia law so bad, stay in your own country. No need to point out that I am an immigrant too and not native to this country, that is a false assertion, my ancestors met the boat at Plymouth Rock, literally. 

Voice of an Angel.....

My grand daughter, Aurora, loves to sing. She is getting better and better, and I encourage her to do so. At church last night, she was in the nursery helping tend to the little ones in there. When we left church, she was singing, all the way to the car. I love this kid so much.

IT IS GETTING READY TO BE UGLY.....

If you believe everything is fine, and that life is just going to get better and better....I HOPE YOU ARE RIGHT. However, with what is going on in Syria right now, and what is going on politically here at home, I have this deep feeling that the proverbial feces is getting ready to hit the fan. 

ENJOY PEACE WHILE YOU CAN!!!

A REALLY GOOD SATURDAY......

My wife, son Nick, and I ate lunch in Ardmore, Oklahoma, and then went shopping. We returned to home, and then Linda and I drove to Ada to purchase a video game she loves. Once there, we decided to go back to Sulphur and go shopping for groceries. I am now getting ready to go guard the pie shop against marauders and such. The photograph above is of my grand son Cheyenne. He is becoming a regular little boy and is pestering the doodah out of his sister Aurora. This is way more cool than anyone would imagine. He has autism and is turning into a regular boy. God is good, and blessings abound.
