Crash, Boom, Bang!

It is funny how some of things come to you in the shower.  I have a roommate, that her door is next to the bathroom and I do not want to disturb her with my singing.  But today, I was thinking back through my life, and all that has happen to me.  And how I have been pretty lucky.  On 12th of December, I will go into the hospital and have the sleeve operation for weight loss.  The only operation I have had was when I was 5 years old.  I had my tonsils out and tubes put in my ears.  

 The first bone I broke was my leg, the day before my 7th birthday.  I broke my first finger when I was about 9.  This was playing tackle town at cubs scouts.  Caught my finger in someones pocket. Broken many other fingers over my teenage years.  Cracked my knee when I fell of a rope swiping from a tree.  And tore all the muscles out of my ankle playing football with some friends.  And there was the go-cart accident when I was 11.  That caused many problems until I was 18.  

 So from 18 to now I have been pretty luck.  Nothing major has really happen to me.  About the time my mother was going through her first chemo treatments, I pulled a muscle in my leg.  I was working, finishing up school and visiting my mom everyday, I had no time for it to heal.  

 So now I face surgery on the 12th.  And I look back and I have been lucky!

No one really knows the really me!

After having a interview with a church leader last weekend, I am tired of people assuming that they know me.  That I keep on being told, I am make poor decisions in my life, when they have no I did what I have gone through or what I am dealing with now.  Really did not need this in my life right now, when in just a few weeks I come out of training and start my normal schedule for the next few months.

Feeling left behind

Over the past month I have been to two baptisms, two farewells and a home coming.  It reminds me of what I do not have in my life, children.  I also have had my 44th birthday, which I spent on my own.  My marriage of 22 years is gone, and I really have nothing to show that I am here. But I have been living some what an oddity in the Mormon Church.  Having been married for so long, with no kids, you just don't get the feeling that you are part of the church family.  I have set in many a Priesthood Class, hearing the teacher tell how special it is to be a father, and how closer to God you are.  I really have not made a lot of friends in these wards, because I have no  kids that are in the same Primary Class, Sunday School Class, or Mutual. It even feels like the newly married couple, when they do get pregnant, that they are now one up on me. A few years ago, our Ward did away with the Family Camp Out.  But what stayed were the father/daughter and the father/ sons camp outs.  For

My Political Life.

In 2008 I received a degree in Political Science from Arizona State University.  When I was think back in high school what I would major in, it was down to history and political science.  I did not see very many career opportunities.  With political science, I could see myself serving in the Government.   I really want to work for the State Department, hopefully in an embassy some where around the world.  Plus I always had been interesting in politics. In 1976 I wrote then, new elected Jimmy Carter a letter, saying so much congratulating him for becoming the President.  OK,  I was seven, and I thought it was great that a guy from Georgia, at that time the state next door to Tennessee, was President.  I got a note back from him, thanking me writing.  OK, so the signature probably was done by auto pin, and some how a chocolate stain got on it, probably from a fudge bar, this is still one of my priced pieces. All through school, I wanted to serve as one of the class reps to Student Co
