Why worry
I wish I did not have to worry. Worry about what? You name it. I wish I could just spend my life watching sports, enjoying my family, going to church, having fun with friends, shaving, working, and hundreds of other things I enjoy. But NO people just will not do the RIGHT things and who has to suffer ME and anyone else who gives half a crap about this country. This is America I should be able to trust my Government. I should not have to worry losing freedom. It should never enter my mind I might have my guns taken away. It should be the craziest concept on the planet that my money would be taken and given to someone who will not work. Since those in power or some who wish to be have plans like these and worse. I’ll worry, vote, study, and get the word out about their plans.

#9 & #5
Spring has not sprung in my neighborhood yet, but it has in Arizona and Florida. My Royals may stink again, but they have to be better. Right? Baseball will be here for real in just a few weeks. I can’t wait. One thing I wonder is will we ever see players like #5 & #9? My two favorite players of all time. One was my childhood hero and the other I never saw play.
#5 George Brett was the greatest Royal ever. KCs only Hall of Fame player. He played hard every game and had an unequaled respect for the game. My greatest baseball memory is the 85 World Series. #5 almost put himself out of the game sliding into the dugout for a foul ball. Cards fans can whine about game 6 until the end of time, #5 and the Royals won. #5 was one of the greatest hitters ever and he hit .390 to win the batting title the closest any player has come to #9s .406 in 41. Like #9 he could have sat to protect his batting average, but he played.
#9 Ted Williams was the greatest hitter ever and the last player to hit over .400. That is not why I love Teddy Ballgame. He missed 5 years of his prime to WWII and Korea. He did not have cushy P.R. duty he was a fighter pilot. He was not only a pilot, but a by God U.S. Marine. He could have ducked out of Korea, but he went and flew combat missions. When he hit .406 he could have sat to protect his average, but he played a double header and went 6 for 8 and increased his average. Ted’s numbers may not reflect how great of a player he was, but they were still enough to put him in the Hall of Fame. He always listed being a Marine fighter pilot as one of his greatest achievements.
I hope I see players like these two again, but I doubt I’ll see that kind of heart again. Thank you #5 for the memories and #9 thank you for so much more.

friends
I have been thinking about what our churches should look like. One thing that I have been seeing is the same people. Are we bringing the lost to our churches? I don't remember the last time I invited a lost friend at work or school to church. If we are doing our part to seek and save the lost shouldn't we see folks we do not know on Sunday morning? I saw a sign at a local church that said "A Church should be a hospital for sinners not a museum for saints." Every time I start to think I am good I get reminded the only difference between the world and me is I know Jesus. He save me on the cross all I had to do was believe and have faith. My works did not save me but, my work better show I am saved.

Happy 4th
Today is the fourth of July. My favorite day of the summer. Yesterday My friend Mike and his wife Anna had their first child. This is just a great time of the year. I hope everyone celebrates our freedom and thanks all those who made and keep it possible.
Our Founding Fathers all faced the same fate as the troops in the field. A traitors death. At one time our leaders accepted responsibility for the decisions they made. Can we say the same today?
In our current conflict the left says get out now. Our democrat leaders want a slow pull out. The Right says win the war and our Republican leader seem to just want to hold on and will not allow our troops to crush those who want to kill us. Our troops can win this war, our military leaders know how to conduct this war, and our people want to remain free. Untie our warriors hands and let them do their job or bring them home now. The two options congress gives us are just wrong. Demand we allow our troops to win.
Freedom is the greatest gift. God gave us freedom of choice and when we doomed ourselves he gave us freedom from sin through his son. Our country has fought to not only remain free but bring freedom to the world.
Enjoy this day, celebrate freedom, remember those who made it possible and continue this work today, and choice to be an American.

Hot Dogs
This is America and it is time we get back to being Americans. It is time we fix the damage done to this country by babyboomers over the last 40 years.
The hot dog is American and as Americans it is time we protect our institutions. We must stop the use of ketchup on hot dogs. There are acceptable ways to eat hot dogs and the use of ketchup is unacceptable.
I will spell out some of the acceptable ways to dress a dog.
1. plain
2. mustard
3. mustard & relish*
4. mustard and onions
5. chili
6. chili onions
7. chili cheese
8. chili onions mustard
* The best and most American way
there are several other acceptable ways to eat your hot dog, but none of the include the use of ketchup. IF YOU PUT KETCHUP ON HOT DOGS YOU DON'T LOVE AMERICA.
