About a year ago I was in need of some new tires for my truck. I called CP since he and I have the same model truck. I wanted to know where he got his tires, did he get good service, did he feel like he got a good price. Things you want to ask to see if you can find a good deal without having to the research yourself. Kipphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11280184935295864724noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289894460151032858.post-12663661447607346832013-04-13T09:08:00.000-05:002013-04-13T09:08:20.194-05:00Angels and DemonsKipphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11280184935295864724noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289894460151032858.post-86276598760651791882013-03-31T20:45:00.000-05:002013-03-31T20:45:01.007-05:00SundayResurrection Sunday

Part I
They say you should never say "never". Well I said it about two years ago.
"I will never leave the country. I do not want to travel outside the United States, it is just asking for trouble."
Technically I had been to Canada. But walking across the border to do a bit of shopping, in my mind, does not qualify as being "in country".&Kipphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11280184935295864724noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289894460151032858.post-78268214454709778402012-08-25T09:19:00.000-05:002013-01-01T09:57:49.294-06:00Questions
Why can it be so difficult to uncover the truth?
Brings to mind the famous lines from "A Few Good Men":
"I WANT THE TRUTH!"
"YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!"
Which only brings me to yet another question.
Who decides who can handle the truth?

As I reflected on Mother's Day, I remembered some of my mother's statements:
If you do not get in the car right now, I am going to leave you here.
If you touch that again, you are going to loose a finger.
For the last time, pick it up.
If your room is not clean you are not leaving this house for rest of your life.
