Cute Story

> Billy Graham was returning to Charlotte after a speaking engagement and when his plane arrived there was a limousine there to transport him to his home. As he prepared to get into the limo, he stopped and spoke to the driver.

"You know" he said,
"I am 87 years old and I have never driven a limousine. Would you mind if I
drove it for a while?"

The driver said,
"No problem Have at it."

Billy gets into the driver's seat and they head off down the highway. A short distance away sat a rookie State Trooper operating his first speed trap.

The long black limo went by him doing 70 in a 55 mph zone.

The trooper pulled out and easily caught the limo and he got out of his patrol car to begin the procedure. The young trooper walked up to the driver's door and when the glass was rolled down, he was surprised to see who was driving.

He immediately excused himself and went back to his car and called his supervisor.

He told the supervisor, "I know we are supposed to enforce the law... But I also know that important people are given certain courtesies. I need to know what I should do because I have stopped a very important person."

The supervisor asked,
"Is it the governor?"

The young trooper said,
"No, he's more important than that."

The supervisor said,
"Oh, so it's the president."

The young trooper said,
"No, he's even more important than that."

The supervisor finally asked, "Well then, who is it?"

The young trooper said,

"I think it's Jesus, because he's got Billy Graham
for a chauffeur!"

An Atheist and the Bear

An atheist was taking a walk through the woods, admiring all that evolution had created.

"What majestic trees! What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals!", he said to himself. As he was walking along the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. When he turned to see what the casue was, he saw a 7-foot grizzly charging right towards him. He ran as fast as he could. He looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was closing, He ran even faster, crying in fear. He looked over his shoulder again, and the bear was even closer. His heart was pounding and he tried to run even faster. He tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up, but saw the bear right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to strike him.

At that moment, the Atheist cried out "Oh my God!...." Time stopped. The bear froze. The forest was silent. Even the river stopped moving.

As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky, "You deny my existence for all of these years; teach others I don''t exist; and even credit creation to a cosmic accident. Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?"

The atheist looked directly into the light "It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask You to treat me as Christian now, but perhaps could you make the bear a Christian?" "Very well," said the voice.

The light went out. The river ran again. And the sounds of the forest resumed.

And then the bear dropped his right paw ..... brought both paws together...bowed his head and spoke: "Lord, for this food which I am about to receive, I am truly thankful."

Highs and Lows

I am officially a GREAT uncle! Addison Rabon was born this afternoon. She weighed 7lbs and 1 ounce. The mom and dad are doing fine.

I knoiw that many of you have never heard or seen the old ABC Sports Show 'the wide world of sports'. The opening for that show mentions the 'thrill of victory and agony of defeat'. We did experience both today in our family.

At the time that Addison was being born, Brittney Rabon was having a miscarriage. She lost a baby boy. As a family, we had a birth and death n the same day. We experienced both the "thrill" and "agony" of life on the same day.

I know that God has a purpose in everything that we experience on earth. He's a great and awesome God and His ways are far above our ways.

I would encourage you to pray for the Rabon family in the coming days. Pray for God's Grace to be on us in the coming days.

The world will end in 2060, according to Sir Isaac Newton

I have read that Sir Newton was a believer, but I had no idea that he was into prophecy. The article doesn't mention why he chose the foundation of the Holy Roman Empire to start his calculations. I've heard of people using the return of Jews to Israel (1948) to calculate such things.

I remember a book came out for 88 reasons why Christ would return in 1988.

I know the Bible says that no man knows that day and that it will come like a thief in the night. The important thing is to be ready for Christ's return (either the second coming or death, whichever comes first).

Ipod Rant

I could not believe my eyes this afternoon. I was being my dad's favorite son, and took him to Sogo's. Kristy, Mom, Dad, and I were joined at the table by another family (this is common at Sogo's, a Japanese Steakhouse). The family sat down across from us, and the man was my age (He looked familar, and I may have went to school with him).

He had just sat down, and then I noticed that he put the earbud headphones that come with your ipod in. I could not believe what I was witnessing. He was not a teenager, a child, etc, but an adult male with his ipod out at Sogo's. I was shocked and thought that was as rude as a cell phone going off in church, movies, etc. The son had to get his attention so his wife could ask him a question. It was unbelievable to me.

I know we live in an incredible age of technology, but I believe that when you are eating with people, they should be the focus of your attention. If you disagree, please let me know.



I would now include Ipod's in restaurants!!!

"I'm getting my tonsils out. I'm a little worried," said Tim.

"Oh, don't worry about it," Sammy said. "I had my tonsils out and it was a blast! I got to eat all the ice cream and Jell-O I wanted for two weeks!"

"Oh yeah?'' replied Tim. "That's not half-bad. So, Sammy, how about you? What're you here for?"

"I'm getting a circumcision, whatever that is," Sammy answered.

Adoption Group: Cat Invasion Due to Global Warming

Is it just me, but all this talk and blaming stuff on Global Warming is hilarious. I find it funny that we think we can actually control the creation that God created. If you look at history, there have been times of warming and cooling in the past. Does anyone remember the first european in America? It was actually a Viking named:


Leif Erickson, who came over before Columbus. Do you remember that "Greenland" was named that because of all the plant life that was growing there. That was during a "Global Warming" that had nothing to do with cars, toilet paper, etc. These Global Warming people are really driving me crazy :)

We Miss You, Pres. Reagan

It was three years ago today that you passed away. You are surely missed by many Americans and we wonder if we will ever have a President as great as you. Since your Presidency, we have had two Bushes and one Clinton (and it looks like another one in 08). They have not come anywhere to your greatness.

Reagan was President when I was 14-22 (which are probably some of the most important years of anyone's life). Reagan was the reason that I became a Republican when I turned 18. He was a strong President and looked probably even stronger since he followed Jimmy Carter (the worse President ever). The day he was inaugurated, the hostages were released from Iran (we're still having problems with those people) and that help to usher in an era of being Proud to be an American again. Reagan stood up to the Soviet Union and would eventually win the Cold War (Putin looks like he wants to start it up again).

Reagan had personality and even as a teenager, I remember watching his press conferences and they were very entertaining. He was known as the great communicator. He did have a special gift to communicate even to young people. He did have his critics but it seemed that that was done in a more polite manner than today. It's amazing to think how much things have changed since the 80's when it comes to how we get information. You did not have the internet, 24 hours new channels (CNN was just starting, but that was the only one), conservative talk radio, and blogging. It was truly a primitive time.

I find it ironic that the Republicans have their second debate tonight and I'm sure they will try to compare themselves to Reagan (the first debate did come from his library underneath Air Force One). I'm afraid that I don't see a Reagan in this crowd, and with the things that "W" is doing now, I wonder if I even want to stay a Republican. I know I will not become a "donkey" but I'm afraid the Republicans will not find another Reagan anytime soon, and that's sad.

Coliseum prepped for Sunday implosion.

Wow, it is an end of an era. I know that many of you have some great memories in that building. I'll never forget attending the very first event in the Charlotte Coliseum in 1988. The building was dedicated on a Thursday night and Billy Graham was the guest of honor. I remember going to work that morning and hearing that the new scoreboard (which was "state of the art in 88) had crashed to the floor. It was shocking and I had tickets to go to see a basketball game of player trying out for the USA Olympic Team that year.

The game was stilled played that night, but they had to bring the floor of the earlier coliseum (which was a ugly orange court) and was place in the coliseum. The new coliseum was basically teal in color scheme (in honor of the Hornets, that would begin playing a few months later). I remember fans wearing hard hats and umbrellas to protect them from anything else falling on their heads. It was a great night.

I've attended a few of the Charlotte Hornets games in that building and will never forget seeing Reggie Miller for the Pacers go off for over 40 points one night. He was unstoppable.

I attended Duke games when they came to play Davidson and the NCAA Tournament 1st and 2nd round games. It was always a lot of fun to see the greatest college basketball program take the court. I remember watching the final four practices in 1994 (the last time the final four was played in a traditional basketball arena). It was a great weekend, until Duke would lose to Arkansas in the title game on a lucky 3 point shot. Disgusting!!!

I will never forget seeing the greatest band on the planet, U2 in 2001. It was the best show that I've ever attended and I've seen them 3 times. It was their second show of the "All That You Cant Leave Behind" tour, so they were fresh and the show was incredible. There is nothing like seeing "Where the Streets Have No Name" and "Bullet the Blue Sky" in person. Amazing.

Confession

I have some shocking news to confess to all my friends. I know that this could change your opinion of me for years to come. There is a part of me that said I should keep this secret, but after the events this afternoon, it's tine to confess.

Once again, I hope that this will not change your opinion of me, but that will be up to you.

The confession that I need to share with y'all is that "I'm getting old". I know that is shocking to many of you, but I met Josh Shepard to play bball today at the Kannapolis YMCA. He did sweep me 4 games to none (even if I had a shot to winb game 3). After beating him in horse, we went to the raquetball court. This is where I learned that I'm old and needed to confess.

I've played tennis 1000's of times in the past, and sprinted to the net to hit a winner. As I was running this time to hit a winner, I felt a rip in my right leg for the first time in 40 years. I've pulled my hamstring and I'm laying here in pain.

I know that it comes as a shock that I'm getting older, but I felt that I needed to let you all know.

Pray that I heal quickly.

Dreaming of Cedar Point 2007

Maverick Opened Today!!!

PointBuzz - News

It's Memorial Day weekend, and it's the time of year that I start thinking about Amusement Parks. I know that many of you know that I can get obsessed with Cedar Point, but it's the greatest park on the planet.

It's a park that brings back many great memories for me. In 2000, I first visited Cedar Point on my honeymoon. It was in July and was the year that Millenium Force open. I remember waiting almost 2 hours to ride "M Force". It's still the greatest coaster IMO.

In 2002, I went back in the fall for their Halloweekends. It's the best time of year to go, since the weather is cool. It can be down right cold, just ask Josh Parrish who went to the park without his coat (what a loser :-) ) Parrish, Martin, and MattFord were the ones who went with me on that trip. Wicked Twister was the new coaster that year, but they were in the process of building something very special. We could see the steel reaching about 200 feet high (but did not know it would eventually reach 420feet).



In 2004, I again returned to the POINT with Nathan Wrights, Christopher Wingler, and Woodchuck. The ride that I went for was that one they were building in 02, Top Thrill Dragster. It's a pure adrenaline rush. Wingler and Woodchuck decided to not ride it during the trip, but Nathan and I conquered the ride.

In 2006, I returned to OHIO with Bradley and Parrish for his second trip. We all rode Dragster and all the other great rides. They were in the process of building a new coaster, Maverick which opens today.

I know that I have a history of going every other year, but I'm planning on breaking that tradition sometime this year. I just haven't got the trip completely planned out this year, but I hope to go back real soon.

Republican candidate Mitt Romney said

"I strongly oppose today's bill going through the Senate. It is the wrong approach. Any legislation that allows illegal immigrants to stay in the country indefinitely, as the new 'Z-Visa' does, is a form of amnesty. That is unfair to the millions of people who have applied to legally immigrate to the U.S.

"Today's Senate agreement falls short of the actions needed to both solve our country's illegal immigration problem and also strengthen our legal immigration system. Border security and a reliable employment verification system must be our first priority."

Fox Boss: 24 Will Undergo "A Significant Change"

I do believe that 24 could use some changes. This season was not as good as previous season, but it was still worth watching every Monday night.

Feeding the Dogs (III)

I know it's a little early to be feeding the dogs, but I will be returning from Atlanta late tonight. Kristy has to attend a pre-school graduation ceremony for Kids Korner tonight

I don't understand the purpose of all of these graduaton ceremonies before 12th grade. All of the years at TTCS and NKCA, I always thought that it was just a conspiracy for the makers of caps and gowns.

What will graduating from pre school, kindergarten, or even 5th grade get you? NOTHING!!! I don't believe in any of my job interviews that they asked if + graduated from Pre K, Kindergarten, etc.

So, as we enter graduation season, I hope you enjoy all of the "Pomp and Circumstances".

Jerry Falwell Dies at 73

I was shocked when I read about his passing on the Drudge Report on my way home last night. He was a great man of God and he will be surely missed on this side of Heaven.

Republican Debate on FoxNews Tonight at 9:00

I am a registered Republican and this is the first time that I'm having trouble on deciding who to support. It was easy to support Reagan, Bush, and anyone against Bill Clinton :)

This year, I'm not sure who to support. I will be taping the debate and will report on the debate later this week.

If you have any input, I would love to hear it.

Restaurant to test Kannapolis' tastes

I don't think it will replace El Amigo's, China Buffet, Varsity BBQ, or What A Burger on my list.

Sweet Atlanta Traffic & Dubya's Library

Wow, Atlanta traffic today was amazing. It usually takes about 20-30 extra minutes to get through downtown Atlanta, but not today. It was only like 10 extra minutes. I'm not sure, but I guess people in Hotlanta take 2 days to celebrate mother's day.

I was listening to the Drudge Report on my IPOD today, and Drudge had an interesting suggestion for where to put "dubya's" library. His suggestion was since dubya is for amnesty for illegal aliens, that maybe his library should be in Mexico. That's

Feeding the Dogs (II)

It's a beautiful evening in Kannapolis. The temperature is in the 70's with a nice breeze.

Pixy is not showing much interest in her supper right now. She's messing around the building.

Dietrich is sitting beside me waiting for me to throw her frisbee (which I've already done a few times).

I kow that my dogs are really spoiled rotten, but that's OK!!!

Gas Prices over $4.00

It's hard to even think about gas getting that expensive. I wish that we would really fight a war for oil in the future, so we can get back around $1.00 a gallon.

Happy Mother's Day

Don't forget Mom today!!!

Kris Jenkins = Kevin Blackburn and I

Wow, it's reported that Kris Jenkins came to panthers mini camp last week at 384 pounds. That's incredible! That's heavier than if you could combine Kevin (not yet 150 pounds) and my 230lbs. Amazing! I hope he is able to lose a few pounds before the panthers really start to practice football

Feeding the Dogs

I was told that I could make posts by using my blackberry. I am trying it right now as I'm feeding Kannapolis 2 greatest dogs.

I know some of U wko have seen Pixy lately, r probably saying she could skip a few meals.

Well, I will check later tonight to see if this blog went through. After feeding the dogs, I have to do one of those inlaw eating events beginning at 4:30. Pray 4 me!!!

Kristy's New Kia

Cedar Point's Opening Day

As many of you know, this is one of my favorite places to go. I'm sure some of you get tired of hearing me talk about it over the years, but it brings back many great memories:

It's where Kristy and I went on our honeymoon in 2000!!!

It's where Matt Ford, Jonathan Martin, and Josh Parrish went in 2002 to kick off their senior year of basketball.

It's where Taylor Beaver, Nathan Wright, and Christopher Wingler went with me in 2004.

In 2006, Josh Parrish and Bradley Blackburn visited with me last year.

In 2007, ?????

I'm Back

Well, I guess after a few months off (more like 16 months), I'm coming back to blogging. I hope that y'all will take time to check it out as I will have a lot of different things on this site (Sports, Politics, Religion, and other stuff).
