Hello Everyone! I just wanted to tell you guys what a wonderful time I had today as we visited. I enjoyed the laughs. Thanks Dan and Lonnie for watching my kids all day. They had some really good stories on the way home. Apparently, you two are cool because you let the kids play in the fire:0 Anyway, just wanted you to know how blessed I felt as we spent the day together. Those of you that weren't there, you were greatly missed. Danny, we wish you could have been there:( Olivia and Kiadien send hugs and kisses your way! Love you all. Have a great week!
Janet

This speech was broadcast by legendary ABC Radio commentator Paul Harvey on April 3, 1965:
If I were the Devil . . . I mean, if I were the Prince of Darkness, I would, of course, want to engulf the whole earth in darkness. I would have a third of its real estate and four-fifths of its population, but I would not be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree, so I should set about however necessary to take over the United States. I would begin with a campaign of whispers. With the wisdom of a serpent, I would whisper to you as I whispered to Eve: “Do as you please. Do as you please.” To the young, I would whisper, “The Bible is a myth.” I would convince them that man created God instead of the other way around. I would confide that what is bad is good, and what is good is “square”. In the ears of the young marrieds, I would whisper that work is debasing, that cocktail parties are good for you. I would caution them not to be extreme in religion, in patriotism, in moral conduct. And the old, I would teach to pray. I would teach them to say after me: “Our Father, which art in Washington . . . ."
If I were the devil, I’d educate authors in how to make lurid literature exciting so that anything else would appear dull an uninteresting. I’d threaten T.V. with dirtier movies and vice versa. And then, if I were the devil, I’d get organized. I’d infiltrate unions and urge more loafing and less work, because idle hands usually work for me. I’d peddle narcotics to whom I could. I’d sell alcohol to ladies and gentlemen of distinction. And I’d tranquilize the rest with pills. If I were the devil, I would encourage schools to refine young intellects but neglect to discipline emotions . . . let those run wild. I would designate an athiest to front for me before the highest courts in the land and I would get preachers to say “she’s right.” With flattery and promises of power, I could get the courts to rule what I construe as against God and in favor of pornography, and thus, I would evict God from the courthouse, and then from the school house, and then from the houses of Congress and then, in His own churches I would substitute psychology for religion, and I would deify science because that way men would become smart enough to create super weapons but not wise enough to control them.
If I were Satan, I’d make the symbol of Easter an egg, and the symbol of Christmas, a bottle. If I were the devil, I would take from those who have and I would give to those who wanted, until I had killed the incentive of the ambitious. And then, my police state would force everybody back to work. Then, I could separate families, putting children in uniform, women in coal mines, and objectors in slave camps. In other words, if I were Satan, I’d just keep on doing what he’s doing.
Paul Harvey, Good Day.

Hopefully it will be down and back. We have to be there at 630 and not sure when we get back. They certainly believe in taking their time.
My doctors seem more concerned with my lungs than anything else. I am scheduled for a CT scan of my chest and breathing studies then they will reevaluate for the chemo. my oxygen levels go quite low with walking or any exercise. So me and Danny are sharing the oxygen these days:) lol

I did not set a theme for food, I just ask that you bring your favorite food/dish. Suggestions: brown beans, corn bread, green beans, potatoes of some kind, a casserole, finger foods, chili, deviled eggs, baked beans, mac & cheese, some kind of salad or dip, etc. You guys know it doesn't matter, we just enjoy eating. Can't wait to see everyone. Don't forget we are also having a baby shower for Kimberly. Love you all!
I'm thinking we probably won't have time for coloring eggs :( We are going to head back after the festivities so we can be at church Sunday morning. Janet, it was good to see you too even if it was for a short time :) If anyone has decided what they are bringing for Saturday will you let us know? I'll try to figure mine out tonight :P
One more thing, this morning after church, Kaiden broke out in tears at the dinner table because he was worried about not taking all the poeple and things to heaven with him, mainly his puppy. Of course, we had to call Nana. I remember sitting under grandma's kitchen table and asking her if there would be enough food in heaven for everyone and I was worried that there wouldn't be anything I liked. lol Leave it to me to be worried about the food:)
Bobbie, Monica & Marleigh, So good to see you Saturday! What a pleasant surprise that turned out to be:) See you this weekend. Addy said that I could have the commission back from those clothes...lol! Monica, Don't forget to call/text me Friday when you figure out what you are doing. Love ya!
Am I correct in thinking that we probably won't have time to color eggs this weekend? If anyone thinks we will, let me know and I'll ge the stuff for it. Amy? Monica? Addy? Emily? I know this a tradition that is more for us than for the little kids so let me know.
