Great People

When I was born, another good friend was also born. I met him when I was a part of the Army in the Korean times....That was great, but we both married our wives on the same day, (23 July 1960) His wife is named Anne, my wife is Ann. We both were blessed with 7 children- there the duplication is a bit off, as the girl/boy numbers are different.... We have corresponded from time to time, and my friend came to our Washington home for a visit in the late 70's or early 80's.

Now we both celebrated our 50th wedding anniverary. Now that we are getting more mature, I for one will redeadicate myself to keeping our frendship. I guess I was not so dillegent in the past. I repent of that error. Recently, My friend sent me three pictures of his fun filled celebration, and I counted about 50 or so on one. That is about the number of our family, too. And both families are growing.

When GOD blesses us, we should be thankfull, and pass the blessing on... We, Ann and I, intend to volunteer at the Skagitt Valley Hospital as helpers in this next year. Also, I want to see if the Sheriff can use my services also... after all, we are all in this same boat.. called Earth. It may not seem fun at times, but our FATHER has given us his word that our time will have been well spent.

If you have a great friend, do as I intend - spend time with the fostering of the friendship . . don't let it fade. I almost did, and I would have been sorry at some time to come.

Have you noticed that we as a nation have begun to forget why we are here, and where
we are going (and what we are suppossed to do) - all to our error and loss. Let us pledge
to be more spiritual, and trusting in GOD, and HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST, our Savior.

More later. I love you all... Gdad
