I've carried this for a real long time.
I had the story that went with it all typed in and the "broken link" page ate it. Maybe I'll write it up again later.

My grandpa carried a note I wrote him when I was 5, till he passed away 6 years ago when I was 27. I had gone by his house one day when he was gone and left him a note. It said-
"I wuz her. I hav to go bak hom. Luv Isom"

I've still carry the first dollar I ever made off the farm, been carrying it for 36 years now. Funny thing is I don't have any that I've made since then.

Short version.
Well, in a couple weeks it will be 28 years. That 25 year old young man was hurting that night. The blessings of the Lord my God has seen fit to give me a chance to bring her back into my life and at the same time gave me a swift kick in the butt for good measure. Squaring both these things has made a profound change and life is looking up for a change......despite the weather and cattle.
Of the many things that gave me guidance, these help me most:
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
To everything there is a season,
a time for every purpose under the sun.
A time to be born and a time to die;
a time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
a time to kill and a time to heal ...
a time to weep and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn and a time to dance ...
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing;
a time to lose and a time to seek;
a time to rend and a time to sew;
a time to keep silent and a time to speak;
a time to love and a time to hate;
a time for war and a time for peace.
And a quote from Nathaniel Hawthorn:
Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.

Anyone ever play liar's poker? I've got two loaded dollars from the 70's. Never played them because I did not want to lose them. One has 7 threes. Other one has 6 aces and a pair of 7's.

Funny you should mention that, I still have one floating around that has/had 7 9s. That thing got me a lot of drinks in the distant past. I may have to look around and see if I still have it in a drawer or somethingbackhoeboogie":3kmcpas6 said:

I have an antique brass Whorehouse Token from Folsom, California. Bought it over 40 years ago. :lol:
I used to have a poem that my son wrote when we had moved into out little house we had before I met Steve. It was very small, it was drafty, it needed some paint, but it was our's and my son wrote about how he felt loved and secured there knowing that I was supporting him. He never showed it to me. I found it on the computer a couple of years later when I was cleaning out files. I printed it and carried it around until it started to fall apart. I never knew he felt that way about me, or that he could be compelled to put it into words. Very touching, especially considering all the trials we endured as a family during my single years. He was 16 at the time.
Made me feel like I did okay after all.

A small slip of paper that simply reads: Numbers 6:24-26
The passage:
The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.

I like that one. Another favorite is Isah 40:31Angus In Texas":5n44pzd2 said:
