"Gang" Fight

Today will be a day that will sit with my gut for quite some time...

Today, I woke up....got dressed....watched 2 episodes of an old TV show and I got ready for a 4 hour work shift...which went by quickly...

I got home at dark...excited that my family and I were goin' to Thunder Valley Casino.

Then my sister went outside to grab valentine gifts from my car and she comes back screaming "call 911, call 911!"

I went outside and a fight had broken out amongst some of my hispanic neighbors that lived 8 houses down.

I called 911....and reported the crimes...most of the neighborhood was out just watching....two other neighbors also called 911...

1 man threw children, punched and shoved women and beat one guy so bad that he had to go to the hospital...

1 thing that bothered me more than the fighting was the fact that the Caucasians on the street were just watching and talking amongst themselves and joking about it...

THERE WAS NOTHING TO JOKE ABOUT. (I've got new next door neighbors who will probably move out....they have small children)

For the last couple of years I had been telling people that I lived in the bad part of Lincoln. They said "There is no such thing as 'the bad part of Lincoln'."

1st street, between "O" Street and Joiner is a collection of apartments...fights and gangs do all sorts of crap there...the area is now just getting bigger. Now it's "R" street between 3rd and 1st and "O" Street to "Joiner"...

Father God, protect those that live in this area of Lincoln and those near that area of Lincoln. In Jesus name. Amen

5 months

Wow.

5 months to go until I move to Idaho.

5 months isn't a very long time...I've got some work to do.
;)

Almost debt-free

I am S excited! I know it sounds silly, but it looks like I will be able to move to Idaho absolutely DEBT FREE.

I can't believe I ever put myself in a position that caused me to get into debt, but it is disappearing!! SO HAPPY!

God bless you guys!

4years later...

Oh my....I can't believe that it has been 4 years since my grandfather ended his journey here and is now celebrating in heaven.

At first, I was a little sad, but I knew when he died that he was with Jesus. I think about my grandfather ALOT, but one thing that helped me to realize that I wasn't going to see him until I got to heaven, I wrote this poem, which I am going to share.

(DO NOT COPY)

Up There [Keeping an Eye of Each of Us]

We all went on our busiess,
As usual, in the early daylight hours
Of Thursday morning.

You were already
Up There.
Up there celebrating,
Up There keeping an eye on
Each of us.

As the dawn turned
Into morning and
Morning turned into
Late afternoon,

The wildfire of your
Passing, spread through
Each of us.

But you Oliver,
That we all called Dean,
Was already up there,
Up There, celebrating,
And keeping an eye on
Each of us.

You watched from above,
As some said good-bye
From room
Numbered 55.

You watched as we
Comforted your wife
As she didn't want to leave your side.
You watched as we made th calls,
Made the appointments.

All this time,
You were celebrating,
You were celebrating th life that ou lead,
The life that you gave up to help others,
No matter the cost.

You raised three children,
Two gentlemen and a lady,
Made it to fifty and a half years in marriage.
You saw your grandkids grow.

You are already up there,
Up there celebrating,
Up there keeping an eye on
Each of us.


I thought I'd share this with all of you.
God Bless

Creativeness

I do an incredible amount of thinking and writing stories and poems. And lately I have been thinking about random TV shows and how if I was a writer for them what kind of stories I would write about...

If I wrote an episode of Criminal Minds I would get into Penelope Garcia's history and have her discover that she had a sister and that they were both adopted....her going with the Garcia family and her sister Juniper, who went with the McBride family.

If I write an episode of CSI: NY. I would spice things up between Stella and Sid...(hehe) and how much it bothers Mac that they are an "item" because Mac has the hots for Stella, but never told her face to face.

Okay, now my brain won't explode....haha....see how I am with too much coffee??

Anyway, that's for reading this almost pointless, but rather entertaining blog.
God Bless!
