Sorry I missed a day. I titled this blog "Remember When" for a reason. If any of you are near my age I know you can remember when times seemed so easy. My wife and I seem to go 90 mph 24-7. With two kids 6 and 8 it seems there is something everyday of the week. Between baseball, cheer leading, church, work, guard drill, chores at home, and anything else I did not think of. I can remember when life seemed so slow and simple. Remember when you looked at your parents and did not see stress in their eyes, hurry in there motions, and panic when something was needed to be done right then? Well I do or maybe I just did not see it. I came from a family of 3 I have 2 older sisters Shelba is 11 yrs older and Jerri is 9 yrs older. So basically I grew up by myself. I mean they were still around and in my life but not at home. I played ball, was in boy scouts, band, agri, and maybe a few other things but mom and dad never seemed rushed. How is that 20 yrs after high school time seemed to speed up 10 times but time remains the same? Today's world seems to be extremely FAST PACE with the computer technology, cell phones, text, email, etc. It seems no one can just hide and enjoy life peacefully.
Just a few things I remember:
1. Mom saying come home before the night lights come on.
2. Get up boy you are not hurt, just dust it off you will be OK.
3. Asking to go to a friends house on my bike and no worries.
4. Peanuts in coke.
I guess where I am going with this I think I am going to slow down some with my family and friends, enjoy the good times, save the memories, and try to live peaceful. I would like to ask that you join me in my new adventure.
Remember be kind to others, and as Jackie says invite a friend to church.

You are right. We go 90 to nothing all the time every day. One ought to watch the Andy Griffith episode about the preacher saying "What's your hurry?"
I agree, we rush around way too much these days!
