From the
Editor
I feel it necessary (which
may please many of you) to move away from the renovations at the May residence
in this week’s editorial to a subject that troubles me greatly--the security
issues surrounding the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia. I know it’s very late since “the horses are
already out of the barn” but, what was the Olympic Committee thinking when they
selected this region of
Given the fact that “the
Olympics are on” should we have significant worries over not only our athletes,
but those from other countries and spectators?
I hate to admit this, but given what he has at stake, I am confident
that within Putin’s “Ring of Steel” participants and spectators should be safe
unless some of the highly discussed “Black Widows” have already made their way
into this supposedly safe region.
Anytime you have people willing to sacrifice their own life to harm
others, all bets are off. It is well
documented that this terrorist group has proclaimed that they will exert all
energy necessary to embarrass Putin during his purported time of glory. Probably the most dangerous and fertile
regions for problems are the highly traveled routes from points entering the
country to the protective “Ring of Steel.”
Anything is possible in and around these routes.
As next week nears, I will
not be surprised to see some countries pull out and not go. That would be sad for the athletes and
parents, but it would be much sadder if they went and something should happen
to harm any of them. I guess it’s good
that I’m not asked to make the decision whether our athletes go or stay home
because I would vote that they stay home.
I so hope that I am wrong, but I have a very uneasy feeling that we may
see issues during these games. Again, I
not only hope, but pray that I’m wrong and all goes without a hitch.

Thoughts from
the Squirrel Lair
Layman’s Ten Commandments
Someone has written these
beautiful words for us to read. Try to
understand the deep meaning there. They
are like the Ten Commandments to follow in life all the time.
- Prayer is not a “spare wheel” that you pull out
when in trouble, but it is a “steering wheel” that directs the right path
throughout.
- Why is a car’s
windshield so large and the rear view mirror so small? Because our past is not as important as
our future. So, look ahead and move
on.
- Friendship is like a book. It takes a short time to burn, but it
takes years to write.
- All things in life are temporary. If it’s going well, enjoy it, that won’t
last long. If it’s going badly,
don’t worry, that won’t last long either.
- Old friends are gold! New friends are diamonds! If you get a diamond, don’t forget the
gold! Because to hold a diamond,
you always need a base of gold!
- Often when we lose hope and think this is the end,
God smiles from above and says, “Relax, it’s just a bend, not the end!”
- When God solves your problems, you have faith in
His abilities; when God doesn’t solve your problems, He has faith in your
abilities.
- A blind person asked
- When you pray for others, God listens to you and
blesses them; sometime when you are safe and happy, remember that someone
has prayed for you.
- Worry does not take away tomorrow’s troubles; it
takes away today’s peace.
If you really enjoyed this,
please pass to others. It may brighten
their day.
There are no strangers, only
friends you haven’t met!
Alumni Website
We have renewed the account that Wanda
Jackson had set up at the photo sharing website, picturetrail.com for the

Humor
Depends
The reason baby diapers have
brand names such as "Luvs" and "Huggies,"
while undergarments for old people are called "Depends":
When babies poop in their pants, people are still gonna
Luv'em and Hug'em.
When old people poop in their pants, it "Depends" on who's in the
will.
There, now, wasn't that simple?
********
Busted
After nearly 50 years of marriage, a couple was lying in bed one
evening, when the wife felt her husband, begin to message her in ways he hadn’t
in quite some time. It almost tickled as
his fingers started at her neck, and then began moving down past the small of
her back. He then caressed her shoulders
and neck, slowly worked his hand down stopping just over her stomach. He then proceeded to place his hand on her
left inner arm, working down her side, passing gently over her buttock and down
her leg to her calf. Then, he proceeded
up her thigh, stopping just at the uppermost portion of her leg. He continued in the same manner on her right
side, then suddenly stopped, rolled over and became silent.
As she had become quite aroused by this caressing, she asked in a
loving voice, “Honey that was wonderful.
Why did you stop?” To which he
responded, “I found the remote.”

WOW! What a day!!! For those following us on Facebook today, you
know it has been long one. It started
about 2:00 a.m. Tuesday with us getting around going to OKC. We ran into flurries south of Chickasha,
roads were good until we go the OU Medical complex, then suddenly the streets
were horribly slick. We arrived at the
hospital about 6:00 a.m., Phil went into surgery just
after 7:00 a.m. About every hour and
half we received a phone call from the OR nurse. Phil was doing well and was stable the whole
time. Nine hours later the surgery was
finished. They cut his right side from
under the chin area to up around the ear area.
We have before and after photos if anyone wants to see. The surgeon said he was going to take his
time, do it right and make it a good surgery.
The surgeon felt really good about the procedure and believes he got the
whole Cancer area and did NOT cut or remove the nerve that controls that side
of his face. That was terrific news as
then they did not have to do a nerve graft/transplant to try to give him muscle
control again. He had a little trouble
coming out from under the anesthesia, but the operation was very long. When we last saw and talked to him he had
started joking some, tough to understand yet, plenty of drugs in the system for
pain, and had mouth/lip movement.
Michele took the day off on Wednesday, sensory overload I think with so
many people talking and so many phone going off all day in the small waiting
room that stayed full all day. Kathy and
Dayna get the opportunity to work so we came on
home. Dayna
had a wreck Monday, she is okay just mad, and needs to
get something checked out on her car ASAP.
We had gotten home, unloaded Michele’s car when Dayna
said Kathy’s sister had sent a text to say they were in a room about 11:20.
The hope that they got all the Cancer is great, but then so it the
fact they did not have to take the facial nerve that would have made him drooler, with lose of taste, lip control and smile
control. He probably would have had to
give up preaching too. Since they did
not take that nerve, none of this should apply now, even though they thought
they could repair it with a nerve graft/transplant with one of his nerves from
behind his ear.
Once again, the power of prayer shows it strength. Plenty of recovery yet, but looks like things
are headed in the right direction while hoping the pathology results come back
good. As always, thanks for any/all
prayers and please continue them: God is
great, all the time.

Food for
Thought
Rules
Saul David Alinsky (January 30, 1909 - June 12, 1972) was an American
community organizer and writer. He is generally considered to be the
founder of modern community organizing. He authored the book, “Rules
for Radicals”.
In his book, he details the
eight 8 levels of control that must be obtained in order to create a social
state.
The first is the most
important.
1) Healthcare: Control
healthcare and you control the people.
2) Poverty: Increase
the Poverty level as high as possible. Poor people are easier to
control, and will not fight back as long
as you are providing everything they require to live.
3) Debt: Increase
the debt to an unsustainable level. In this way, taxes must increase, and this
will produce more poverty.
4) Gun
Control: Remove the ability for citizens to defend themselves from the
Government. In that way you are able to
create a police state.
5) Welfare: Take
control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income).
6) Education: Take
control of what children read and to what they are taught in school.
7) Religion: Remove
the belief in the God from the Government and schools.
8) Class
Warfare: Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This
will cause more discontent, and it will be easier to tax
the wealthy with the support of the poor.
Does any of this sound
familiar?
The Obama presidency was not
an accident. It was carefully planned.
