I went to work for Wal-Mart Stores in the summer of 93’ as a Manager in Training. I had just graduated from college in May so I was ecstatic to have a real job so soon. To be quite honest, I didn’t see it coming. Retail was not what I had in mind, but all roads seem to point that direction.

Wrestling to the words of my Father
In West Texas, Football was my sport and I had no intentions of changing. That is until my family moved to Duncan, Oklahoma in 1982. Frustrated with trying to break into the “system”, I began to look at other sporting possibilities. I was introduced to the sport of wrestling while in Duncan, but I didn’t get up the nerve to really try it until we moved to Oklahoma City. The first couple of years, I wrestled for Western Heights’ Junior High. I was vertically challenged during that phase of my life and didn’t reach 100 pounds in weight until late into my freshman year. So, needless to say, I was no threat.

Wisdom For The Neighborhood
Proverbs 3:27-35
Sunday, June 6th, 2004
Once upon a time in a land far away neighbors welcomed new people to the neighborhood with a freshly baked apple pie, they offered to watch one another’s house while they were away visiting family, and people felt a sense of security and unity. Kids who lived in the neighborhood knew that they had lots of “moms” and “dads” who were watching out for them and checking on them to make sure they were acting right. If a young person acted out instead of acting right then they would be corrected twice: First by the neighbor who caught them in the act and then again when they arrived home. Kids wondered if their parents had telepathic powers—how else could they have known about what they had done? What the kids finally figured out, after having experienced the ritual of double correction time and time again, was that the adults were talking and helping one another raise each other’s children. You need to know that this is not mere speculation or a theoretical hypothesis I’ve constructed–I know this firsthand.
