My throat didn’t get sore but I did have the highest fever that I’ve had in a few years. Hope your daughter’s doesn’t last any longer than mine did. Well, the fever part was short anyway. The blah part will probably linger until June.

Speaking of chicken soup. I found a new recipe for quick chicken soup that I really like and I’m gonna make a pot for my lunch. Only takes about 20 minutes for really good soup.

COWBOYS LIKE JOHN WAYNE

When I was just a tow-head kid
not knowin’ how things stood,
I got a lot of lessons boys
in tellin’ bad from good.

The teachers tried and pastor too
and dad would oft explain,
but none could reach me half as well
as cowboys like John Wayne.

They stood for truth and justice clear,
no cloudin’ up with gray.
twas black or white, the wrong or right
in ever’thing they’d say.

Their honesty and decency
their way of speakin’ plain
are only part of what I owe
to cowboys like John Wayne.

I grew to love this country son,
old Glory’s stars and stripes,
to stand up proud for what we were
and never quit a fight.

As I look at the world today
I wonder what became
of those great values once we learned
from cowboys like John Wayne.

It seems like we’re the villians now
though we would right the wrong.
There’s lots of folks ignore the truth
and blindly go along.

They call it lib’ral thinkin’ now,
no God, no prayer, no shame.
no right to life, no loyalty,
no cowboys like John Wayne.

Our nation runs a risk today
of bein’ what we’re not:
a country without moral will
that revels in such rot.

Dear Lord I pray we find ourselves
before we go insane.
and may we ride as they once rode
those cowboys like John Wayne.

excerpt
“Charlie prayed to Christ, “I give You my life, and if You’re real come into my life.” He then experienced an indescribable peace. It was so profound that he began to share his story with others. Charlie told them, “My walk on the moon lasted 3 days and it was a great adventure, but my walk with God lasts forever.”
