"DREAMS-THEY DO COME TRUE"

Hi folks, this is Two Texas PawPaw. How many times do you tell that special person in your life how much you care for them. For most of us, not enough. But, it's important that we do, and at the same time, we like to be told also. Dreams, and believing in those dreams is the most precious thing we have. Don't let yours slip away. It's so easy for that to happen if we don't exchange thoughts of caring each and every day. -----DREAMS CAN COME TRUE MOST EVERYDAY---HEAVEN GRANTS THEM AS WE GO OUR WAY---FOR THE ONES WHO MEAN THE MOST TO YOU---ARE THE ONES WHO MAKE THOSE DREAMS COME TRUE---WE ARE THANKFUL WE HAVE THE ONES WE LOVE---AND FEELINGS FOR THEM IS ALL WE THINK OF---FAR TOO MUCH WE TAKE LIFE FOR GRANITE---AND WHEN THINGS GO WRONG, WE CAN HARDLY STAND IT---WE CARRY THE LOAD AND HOPE FOR A LIGHT---THAT ONCE AGAIN THINGS CAN BE RIGHT---AND THE DREAMS ONCE AGAIN WILL COME INTO SIGHT---AND OUR HEARTS WILL CONSIST OF PEACE AND QUIET---BE GRATEFUL FOR THOSE WHO SHARE YOUR LIFE---BOY FRIEND, GIRL FRIEND, HUSBAND OR WIFE---BE EVER MINDFUL THERE ISN'T MUCH TIME---AND SAY EVERYDAY, "THANK GOD YOUR MINE"---LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO LET SORRY CREEP IN---YOU COULD FIND YOURSELF DREAMING AGAIN---AND THE DREAMS COULD BECOME SOMETHING UNKIND---SOMETHING YOU HOPED YOU WOULD NEVER FIND---SO TELL THEM EACH DAY HOW MUCH YOU CARE---HOW MUCH OF YOUR LIFE YOU WANT TO SHARE---AND EXPECT THE BEST FOR THEM AND YOU---AND WATCH ALL YOUR WONDERFUL DREAMS COME TRUE:-----This is Two Texas PawPaw, signing off, and, the good Lord willing and the creeks don't rise, I will return.

"OUR COUNTRY"

Hi folks, this is Two Texas PawPaw. Did you ever stop to think how lucky we are living in the United States and how proud we should be because we do? It is an honor to be a part of this country. Why? Because we have a choice as to how we live in it. I don't mean in relationship to the job you have, there are certain things on certain jobs that you have to do, like it or not. I'm talking about how we live in our hearts and minds and how we conduct ourselves to other people. Compared to many other places, we are accepting a gift by living in 'Our Country'-----HOW MUCH DO WE LOVE AMERICA, THE LAND THAT WE LIVE IN---HOW MUCH ARE WE THANKFUL THAT WE ARE NOT SOME OTHER PLACE WE COULD HAVE BEEN---KNOWN FOR IT'S GLORIOUS COLORS OF THE FLAG, THE FAMOUS RED, WHITE AND BLUE---LAND OF THE FREE, HOME OF THE BRAVE, CONNECTED BY THINGS THAT ARE TRUE---A COUNTRY WITH RIGHTS-EQUAL RIGHTS, WITH LAWS THAT GOVERN IT'S WAYS---RAN BY THE WORDS OF THE BIBLE, AND GUIDED BY GOD'S HOLY PRAISE---A PRIVILEDGE WE HAVE TO LIVE HERE, WITH HIS COMMANDMENTS TO GUIDE US EACH DAY---WITH ENOUGH COMMON SENSE ABOUT US TO LIVE HERE IN A GODLY WAY---SO WHEN YOU WAKE IN THE MORNING, RAISE YOUR HEAD UP TOWARD THE SKY---GIVE THANKS TO GOD FOR A COUNTRY, THAT HE GAVE TO YOU AND I:---This is Two Texas PawPaw, signing off, and, the good Lord willing and the creeks don't rise, I will return.

MAGIC"

Hi folks, this is Two Texas PawPaw. Well I guess I'm back on the blog for awhile but probably not everyday like before. Just when I get the urge. Today, I had the urge. -----MAGIC, BEAUTIFULLY PERFORMED, CAPTURED IN OUR HEARTS, THE WAY WE ALL HELD IT---AND, OVERNIGHT, DARK CLOUDS FORMED BETWEEN US AND THE SKY, AND THE BEAUTIFUL MAGIC MELTED---PEACE IN OUR HEARTS, JOY IN OUR MINDS, AND DREAMS THAT WERE ALL COMING TRUE---AND THINGS THAT SEEM TO MATTER THE MOST, WERE GRADUALLY AND PAINFULLY SLIPPING FROM VIEW---A TOUCH OF LOVE, A SIGH OF RELIEF, AND A GATHERING OF TEARS MUCH STRONGER THAN WE WILL EVER KNOW---MAKES YOU WONDER JUST HOW FAR AWAY, AND WHY DID ALL THE MAGIC HAVE TO GO---TIME MUST HEAL, PRAYERS AND FORGIVENESS, MUST RE-CAPTURE THE THINGS FOR WHICH WE CARE---ALTHOUGH OUR MEMORIES ARE HAZZIE AND DARK, SOMEHOW I BELIEVE THE MAGIC IS STILL THERE---TEARS HAVE BEEN SHED, ANGRY WORDS HAVE BEEN SPOKEN, BUT PROMISES STORED HIGH ARE STILL INTACT---AND BY RE-KINDLING THE FLAMES FROM THE FIRE DYING OUT, WE CAN BRING THE MAGIC BACK.-----This is Two Texas Paw Paw, signing off, and, the good Lord willing and the creeks don't rise, I will return.

"HEADING FOR THE PONDEROSA"

Hi folks, this is Two Texas PawPaw. Nanny and I will be heading for the Ponderosa this weekend to visit Kathy and Thomas and just relax for a couple of days. We are really looking forward to it. Leaving behind Tarzan, Cowboy and Piper, who by the way will be spending three days at our local kennel which they do not like. The Ponderosa is my favorite place to go. I can't describe to you and do it justice as to the pleasure we get going there for a visit. It is awesome. If your weekend plans are just half as good as ours, you too will have a great weekend. We hope you do. I wish we were headed there right now. Hope everyone has a good week. All you interested parties out there don't forget Nanny's birthday coming up Feb 11th. If her age is close to anything compared to the way she looks, she will be somewhere around 29. I'll make some points there. See ya! Two Texas PawPaw signing off.
