A Poem worth thinking about.....

A Poem to Think About!

I was shocked, confused, bewildered As I entered Heaven's door,
Not by the beauty of it all, Nor the lights or its decor.
But it was the folks in Heaven Who made me sputter and gasp--
The thieves, the liars, the sinners, The alcoholics, the trash...
There stood the kid from seventh grade Who swiped my lunch money twice.
Next to him was my old neighbor Who never said anything nice.
Herb, whom I always thought Was rotting away in hell,
Was sitting pretty on cloud nine, Looking incredibly well.
I nudged Jesus, "What 's the deal? I would love to hear Your take.
How'd all these sinners get up here? God must've made a mistake. "
And why's everyone so quiet, So somber? Give me a clue."
"Hush, child," said He, "They're all in shock.
No one thought they'd be seeing you!"
Judge NOT
Gives us all a little something to think and pray about!
Enjoy life!

Steal One - Get Three Free!

This has NOT been the best of days!
We found out this morning that someone broke into Contractors Connection overnight - they thought it would be a good idea to "Steal 1 and Get 3 Free" with our cement power buggy's. I'm being nice - actually they stole at least 4 power buggy's. We're still doing inventory to see if anything else is missing. This is a picture of what they look like.
This is one of two places in the fencing that they cut to go through. They went through the Mammoth Baptist Church lot and cut their way into the back yard. They broke into that trailer that you see on the left. Cut through the lock. They broke out the flood lights - I guess these people work better in the dark!


They cut the lock on the snowmobile trailer that is stored there also. Took all the keys to the sleds. The other place where the fence was cut was near that trailer. Pretty sure they planned to come back for the whole trailer.



Things could be worse - this is just a pain!
We thank God that no one was injured - Russ is there late at night many nights and that has always been a worry for me.
Of course police reports have been made. You always wonder though, who would do such a thing?!
Enjoy life - God is Good!

Nashville - Alabama trip

Russ and I had the opportunity to visit the Grand Ole Opry while in Nashville for a business trip.
Martina McBride gave a private performance at the Grand Ole Opry for those of us attending the Stafda Convention. And what a concert she gave!

Just before going to Nashville we visited Russ' family in Alabama. Pictured is brother Raven, Russ, sister Renee, Mom and Dad.
So good to see all of them!
Always good to get away - and so good to get back to my own bed!
Enjoy life,
Karla and Russ
