Movie One: Little Women

First Movie of the New Year

"Little Women" has a great cast and a timeless story of how siblings are woven together for life.  I is worthy of time and consideration.  It does a good job of showing the obstacles of young women in the 1800's and why the changes we get to witness are so important. That is unless you are a jerk.

Day One

We had 36 members of the Foutch family over for out annual luncheon.  We eat the old food: hog jowl, ham corn and sausage, potato cakes, cabbage, beans and cornbread, black eyed peas, mac and cheese, salads and deserts. It is old in that we don't eat this food but once a year.  Every one smiles and eats their fill. It is good to start the year with loved ones and smiles.

2020

I love the sound of 2020.

It is full of wonder

It is full of opportunities.

It is new and creative.

It has symmetry.

It has hope.

Nothing has attacked me yet,

but I am up to the task

not because who I am 

but who God is: The Great I AM.

Happy New Year.

Christmas 2019

Christmas signals the end of another year.

This has been the year of great change.  

In areas where I thought everything was going great, it changed for the worst. 

My local church family is in turmoil and friends have left

In areas where I thought I had lost the opportunity to help, things changed for the better. 

I thought the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame that I helped found had left me, but they sought me out.

In my business I keep being asked: "Are you about to retire?"  

I am more active than ever and working State wide with a wonderful team.

That Chapter is closed.

Nothing binds me:

All is made ready, all waiting

New Beginnings

It is September and my mental New Year has arrived.  Since childhood my calendar  has been the same as the school calendar.  I also am renewing my efforts to blog or as I think of it a to journal.

I am discontinuing movie ratings since I have waited out the people that used to read them. I believe that I now have no regular readers. So everything is new again.

Are you Committed

There is a difference between interest and commitment. When you are interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstance permit. When you are committed to something, you accept no excuses only results.
