tongue  The time is at hand. Tony and Ruthie are here and the bonding has begun. Johnnie and I are so honored to have them here with us. They are exactly who we thought they would be. Wonderful and caring people. Although Tony is shorter than I thought he would be. HAHAHA. We are sharig so much. I will post more later. I wish there was some way that we could all get together. A HW convention. I would be great. Think about it.

Tonight I get to share something special with TC and Ruthie. It is our Friday night Celebrate Recovery service. My group is singing tonight. Great music is planned. A great service will happen. It's all about people with hurts, habits, and hangups. That sounds like all of us, doesn't it.

Well gotta go. Were going to give TC and Ruthie a tour of our town. God bless.

War Eagle, baby

And what a great singer we have here. Along with Walt I met his brother Wayne and his family. And so many from his Clear Branch Church. Many of whom have been posting at Walt's and even my sites. I even met another cancer survivor, Brian, who when I called him left is office and headed straight over and stayed with us until we left to CR. For those who don't know Brian, you can find his link at Walt or my sites. He is a throat cancer survivor, and his brother, Scott, is a colon cancer survivor. Wow. But he is doing great, and has also been an online friend for six plus months. We will see him again tomorrow with his family and again, we will share Faith, Love, and Hope. We finally met Walts wife today (she was working a 24 hour shift when I got here), and what a dear sweet lady.

I am having a great time. If any of you ever get the chance to meet these two, do not hesitate.

War Eagle!

I just learned that 'you all' is one syllable, and 'there' is two syllables...(tha er). Not bad for a short guy, huh.

Hey Tony!

Did Walt teach you that "aren't" has two syllables as well?  ("AR-ent") tongue

I was born in the mid-west and raised in California.  But my parents could "talk the talk."  I loved it!

You two have a wonderful time.  Maybe Walt can post an mp3 somewhere of his singing!

WAR EAGLE to Two Really Good Guys!

Thank you Barry, Rod, Annie, and Dale,
I actually sang a few bars for Johnnie and Walt while strummin' a country tune or two, too. Guitars are still my favorite hobby, but I still need the day job. We are getting ready to head down south to Pensacola to see Ruth's family for a day and a half. This goodbye will be a very tough one. But I remain hopeful for Mr. Walter. He looks great and is a very positive man. I well up right now and ask that you visit my site as I have addressed this further...

AMEN.

I am thrilled that ya'll got to meet down thayer.  In fact, I am truly happy for you.  It has been a big deal for me to have met Les and Mika.  Meaningful.  Important.  Worthwhile.

Love is a funny thing, isn't it?  Who would have thought? 

I recall that a year, or so ago there was talk of a meeting.  We are all so different, yet so alike.  Les is from the big city (NY) and I from little tiny nowhere Iowa and yet we are so alike. 

My Very Best to You,

Bill

Bill,
Your choice of words is perfect. And I was thinking about you and Les all week. Walt and I talked about it and both agreed. Caring, Bonding, and Fellowship are my thoughts. I am missing my friends already. Also Smilingoldcoot. We have met as well. We spoke today while I was still with Walt, and when we hung up, Walt said what I said after I met him ~ What a great guy!. This was four days that Ruth and I will always cherish.

A HealingWell Blessing, indeed.

Tony
