Leprechaun

spotted at ETSU early this morning!!!!

Well - here goes....

Thanks Dennis for blogging... believe me, I know what you are going through right now.... i pray for you and Marie hourly.

How proud you must be Mark for your son to know he will be playing baseball in college. When I was young, I wanted to be a professional baseball player but I had no where to play except the school yard until it was way to late to get the kind of training that would have been helpful... I have developed other skills that are, at 63, very satisifying - but that dream still lingers......... what is it about baseball.

Ruth, you are a wonderful person, someone who I wish I could have the time to get to know much better.... I got a chuckle about your blog - having wine on the deck with ice on the roof... there has to be some sort of smart ass joke or story about that.

Michael, I envy your musical talent.... but you did help me to believe that my meager skills on bass were welcome... thank you.

David Woody, blog.... we need you to do that.. we need to grow in our faith and understand the holiness of Christian love... we need to learn to be strong in our faith and service..... we need you, and you need us!!!

Janie - where are you?

Roz, where are you...China I guess. When will you be here where you need to be and where you are really needed??????

Chalmer, where do you get all that stuff? I am thankful that you do find it.... keep doing it.. more coffee......

and Matt Fay.................I pray for you hourly too..........get well and get back to school!!

love, john
