Had lunch with a stupid old widowed pastor yesterday. Raised in the West Texas prairie long ago, but played football at 13 in a little town. Got his leg broke. Regular dr was out of town. 2 fractures below the knee. Young fill in dr said both bones cracked. Put on a cast. Both were broke and leg swelled. Got Gangreen. Lost leg. Got prosthetic stubb. His dad told him dont be bitter as God had a plan.
A few years later he was out hunting quail and a few miles from home in the semidesert and home was a few miles from town when he felt a thump and hit to his leg. He shot the 5 ft rattler and looked toward home a few miles away in panic.
Checked his leg and realized he was bit in the peg. Took the rattlers home and a few hours later when mom and dad got home in their only car he told his dad he had been right.
Without the peg he woulda been dead.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time by the blood of patriots and tyrants.
If being stupid allows me to believe in Him, I'd wish to be a retard. Eisenhower and G Washington should be good company.
