Good morning everyone. It's a beautiful morning her in the Deep South. My sight is so much better today. Looking forward to Christmas and the gathering of the family. This year is going to be special as we anticipate the arrival of the first great grand baby. What a blessing this is going to be. the generations come together like a link in a chain. Each link represents a life and as the years press on new links are added to the chain until generations are liked together to make on long chain. I think back to all of my ancestors and the life they lived in making my life what it is today. It's amazing how each life adds to another's life and continues to buid and link together until we have these families that are so interconnected and entwined into each other. On y Dad's side og the family they were mostly farmers and livestock brokers. My mother's side of the family help build Waycross, Georgia and develop farms in the great okefenokee swamp. Granpa did what his dad did before him. Live off the land and made moonshine before turning to God and becoming a preacher. My Dad continued on as a car dealer as did my brother. I turned away from that to become a pastor of churches and a believer in the Gospel. MY son will continue in industrial construction with large heavy equipment. My first daughter has married a preacher while two of our daughters have become home makers and mentors to their children and grandchildren. Enough of this I need to get moving so I will close for now wishing everyone a blessed ay. Be sure to give the fur babies a hug for me and be sure to tell someone you love them. I guess my legacy will go to the dogs through the Old Fella Burke County Animal Rescue.
