I am shorter than I was when I was taller than I am now but not as short as I will be when I lose the rest of my hair.
My Philosophy
I once wrote:
"In his mind he's wonderin'
If all those things he never said
Could have changed the way that things have changed
And made a better world instead."
That is my philosophy...an enduring question.
Then I realized it was about myself.
What Gives Me Hope
"This hope we have as an anchor of the soul..." (Heb. 6:19) I am given renewed hope by the new (current) administration.
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by
Appoint the best man for the job as my replacement.
What/who changed my life and why
The man who most inspired me when I was a broken, scared child was Casey Medlin.
Due to previous circumstances I was afraid to talk to anyone, especially an adult.
One day I was bouncing a basketball and Mr. Medlin approached me. He laid his hand on my shoulder and with a trembling voice I said, "Hello Mr. Medlin."
"What did you call me?" he demanded.
"Mr. Medlin." I replied, afraid that he thought I had called him a name.
"My name is Casey," he said with a smile as he patted me on the head. "You can call me Casey."
I'm sure he had no idea how much that moment meant to me.
