Back Yard Obstacle


Back Yard Obstacle

 

When I was ‘bout fourteen years old, Daddy would let me drive his car in our back yard.  This was way before under age drivin’ was against the law.  I had to put pillows in the seat to be able to see.  Our back yard was an obstacle course with trees on each side.

What Do You Fear?


What Do You Fear?
 
It was my Mamma that first taught me how to face my fears. Miss Winifred T. Crank was my third grade teacher. She was tall ‘n had shoulders like a football player. Her hair was short ‘n gray. Her face looked like a square fryin’ pan ‘n she wore a whistle ‘round her neck. She terrified me!

Right Road, Wrong Road


Right Road, Wrong Road
 
Mamma says that faith ain't all that complicated - there's a right road 'n a wrong road to travel. And if your road doesn't end with Jesus, then your life's all a waste. If your road's not pointed toward Jesus, it's pointed toward trouble.

Daddy's Hard Work

Daddy's Hard Work
 
 
Daddy always worked in feed ‘n seed.  He loved workin’ with farmers.  It was hard work ‘n time consumin’.   Daddy was like a doctor on- call twenty-four seven.  Sometimes late at night, Daddy would get a call ‘n get up, go to the store, get what was needed, ‘n make the delivery.  Daddy worked hard for his family.  There were times he wouldn’t make it to me ‘n my sister’s piano recital or school plays.  We did look forward to his comin’ home after work ‘n wrestlin’ ‘n ticklin’ us.  Funny how you remember little things like that.  We knew he loved us! My sister ‘n I didn’t understand why Daddy worked so hard ‘til we got older.
