What it means to be an American

AmericanFirst off, respecting our leaders, whether I disagree with them or not. As a veteran my oath never expires, so to be an American is to protect her and help her in any way I can. We accept all races, sexes, and religion. (The Great Melting Pot) Unless that religion is a security threat to the United States. You don’t bring the fox into the henhouse.

America was founded on Christian Values and without them we have lost our moral compasses.

Honor, Duty, Loyalty, Integrity, Respect, Selfless Service, and Personal Courage, are not just words but the Values of all our founding fathers understood.

When an American doesn’t like something they can either shut up or do something about it. America must grow and change, our leaders must be Just and Upright men/women.

I’m the Treasurer

I’m the new Treasurer for my lodge Siloam #399, in Spring Hill, Florida. What does that mean? It means I get to write checks and balance the checkbook! YAY, I rock!

In the masonic lodge everyone needs to help out and do their small part to help the lodge. There is only so many of us and nobody get paid.

Below is our entire group of masonic officers!

Stupid Questions

61_nWhy do people always ask stupid questions. Is it a way to start a conversation or are they just stupid.

Examples:

I’m standing there with a Coke Cola in my hand
They ask, are you having a coke?

I have all my bags and keys in my hand.
They ask, Are you leaving?

I’m reading a book.
They ask, Are you reading?

You get the point, but WTF? Why?

I try my best NOT to do this to other people unless I’m just aggravating them.   When someone does that I instantly what to give back a smartass answer. Like I’m eating a piece of pecan pie. They ask, are you eating pie? My response is, “does it look like I’m eating a pile of shit? Do you fucking know what pie looks like? What do you really think I’m eating? But I’m too polite and answer, “Oh yes, and it’s very good”, or some bullshit like that.

I think people just constantly ask stupid questions so now it has become an accepted practice. Who know just don’t ask me. LOL

Asthma Attack

My 10 year old has Asthma and had a severe attack last night. Talking about how bad you can be scared … dam. I was proud of the family, everyone helped any way they could. I was on the phone with 911, my wife performed CPR and my youngest son was putting on her nebulizer. My oldest son was working with my 3 year old and doing whatever we asked of him… like get me my pants, shoes, shirt, go outside and wait for help! It was an all night adventure but besides me being totally gray now, she is OK. That is the most important thing. Thank You God! You heard all of our prayers!
