Merry Christmas, boys!



Merry Christmas, boys!

While I am writing this you and your family are celebrating Jesus' birth at your Dad's parent's house. I bet you all are having a wonderful time opening gifts, playing with new toys and eating lots of Christmas goodies.

I'd love to know what Santa brought you and to learn what is going on in your live. I understand that you are raising chickens like I'm planning to do in the spring. In fact, I was out this afternoon planning the coop. It would be nice to have Ethan and his helper Caleb here to help me build the building for my feathered ladies. We love eggs and having a steady supply of our own will be great. Several years ago we raised some ducks and ate their eggs but I prefer chicken eggs for eating on a daily basis. Remember eggs are one of the near perfect foods. Don't let anyone tell you that they're not good for you. I've been eating as many as 4 eggs/day for years and my blood work is perfect.

Just so you'll know I have been having some prostrate problems (only boys have a prostrate gland... girls don't) and surgery is pending. I don't know when you'll learn of my upcoming operation but please pray for me and my complete recovery. What I'm going through is definitely not a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to getting the problem fixed.

Well, I'll go for now and leave you with this video. I hope your Mommy is planning to homeschool you boys and that she agrees with the premise that this young man is putting forth and imparts some of his wisdom and knowledge to you. Beyond Salvation and health I pray that each of you will be happy.

This is the video he referred to early in his presentation:

I love you,
Granddaddy

Duck Dynasty's witness for Jesus

As you may know Duck Dynasty is one of the biggest shows on TV right now. Phil Robertson, the patriarch of the family, is my age and to my way of thinking really has his head screwed on straight. Rather than play college football and go on to the pros like his backup quarterback (Terry Bradshaw) did, Phil decided to do what he loved best... hunt ducks and be in the woods as much as possible (in another post I'll discuss in more depth how I feel about his decision). Along the way he came to know Jesus and ever since has lived for Him and raised his family to love Him. Now with their TV show the Robertson family gets to witness to 12 million viewers every week about Jesus... it's POWERFUL. I hope you enjoy what they have to say in this video:



I love you boys,

Your Granddaddy

PS. Boys, here's a video of a model railroad in Germany that you'll enjoy:
