Spring Revival and Spiritual Renewal
Rev. Charles Garrett, Pastor, One Way Baptist
A new spring is dawning bringing in a freshness that has been missing during the cold winter months. People stir, anxious to be outside, working the soil, planting, growing, becoming one with nature. The apple tree, the mighty oak, the beautiful dogwood tree, come to life and the tulip bulbs push their heads from the cold hard soil into the newly warm air. It is a time for renewing of life.
While drinking in the wonders of nature, it is important to remember the important things of life like family and friends and the God that put His blessings on this great nation. At One Way Baptist, we are celebrating this renewal with a spring revival. It is our way of celebrating a new season, of rekindling our spirit of thankfulness, and reminding ourselves of the things that are truly important. Come celebrate the rekindling with us with guest pastor Rev. W. A. Seawell, Jr. from Hilltop Baptist of Thomasville, NC.
Rev. Seawell is a much sought after speaker and One Way is fortunate to have him for our services
What: Revival
When: Starting April 10, 2011 at six o'clock and running nightly starting at 7:OO p.m.
Where:. One Way Baptist Church, 604 Sunset St. (off Stout St) Randleman, NC 27317

Tamra Barney from 'Real Housewives of OC' Got Roofied by a Fan
The truth is that they probably got wasted and passed out and thought it would be a convenient cover story to blame it on a fan and a date rape drug. They have no proof that there was additives to their drinks.

Missing in action
I haven't checked in with the Troublemaker in well over a year and for some reason i was thinking about him the other day soI decided to check out his blog tonight. It seems he hasn't been on it since I last was. Some of the comments had been delected that might have given me a clue to what happened to him. ..I know he had just moved to Glenwood and was blogging about getting the place cleaned up.
Nothing has changed, at least not for the better.
Ben Holder, where are you?

Lincoln's real views on black people
It doesn't really matter now. He signed legislation abolishing slavery in the United States and it his his actions that count. sometimes what a person does as a leader does not always coincide with their personal views. Sometimes a person just knows something is wrong but because of prevailing views at the time maybe does not appreciate the fullness of all thatr is wrong with the popular view, or maybe he was just reying to figure out a way that was best for peace for all concerned.
But like I said, it doesn't matter now. He did what he did, it can't be undone, it was the right thing to do no matter what the motivations were for doing it, and that should be the end of the story. Sometimes it takes a lot of guts to do the right thing. It cost Lincoln his life.

Teachers wonder, why the scorn?
I've had some good teachers but just a few. Mrs. smith and Mrs. McQuire, my first anf sixth grade teachers were outstanding. Mr. Caldwell, my eighth grade teacher was a saint.
Miss Hefner/Mrs. Carlisle/Miss Hefner, my seveth grade teacher was the devil's wife and so mean he couldn't stand her. Oh, and let's not forget Mr. Jones would litterally kicked my ass while I was drinking from a water fountain and broke one of my teeth.
There have been a couple of other good teachers like Mr. Hefner (no relation to my seveth grade teacher) who taught ninth grade English. My only problem with him is that he made fun of me for reading Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer in front of the whole class. My junior year math teacher was a good teacher and was my senior year math teacher.
My second grade teacher wasn't good at her job, or at least didn't seem so to me and most of the others are non-memorable except for Mr. Barrett, my junior year science teacher. I'm not saying he was good or bad but he did seem to like me better than I liked him.
And then there was this Dean at Sam Houston State college (now University). I received my draft notice while I was in school and had to drop out and go into the military. The school informed me that I would be issued a final grade based on my current average since the semester was almost complete but one Dean was livid and said I had to take a test in order to receive a grade.
He handed me a technical manuel 5,000 pages long, gave me two days to read the book, and was to take a 100 question essay exam and would receive the grade for the semester based wholly on that test score.
After serving my country for four years I wanted to return to scholl and finish that degree but was blocked from doing so by that very same professor who still held a grudge because I had talked to the dean who overrulled his decision about that ridiculous teat.
I've meet many a teacher who had a poor command of the English language and what is happening in New York is beyond mind boggling. There are over 4,000 teachers not allowed to teach but who can't be fired because of union rules. In this economic crises NY is going to have to let go several thousand teachers but it can't be the ones who aren't allowed to teach but will come from the ranks of the most recently hired.
I understand the need for certain protections. The tenture system was set up to allow a teacher the freedom to say things that a nontentured teacher who probably get fired for but I just don't believe a tenure should allow a professor or teacher to do weird things and excape discipline.
If schools and teachers did a good job, then why is our educational system lagging behind many other countries?

Still too cold
I'm anxious to get my pond fixed for the upcoming warm season but it's still too cold and windy and dry to work on it. To fill the pond with water is expensive plus it is far better to let mother nature refill it for me--better for the fish, that is. I have to take the net off, pull out all the plants, drain the pond, pull the liner out, put carpet in the bottom once the pond bottom dries out, put water in the pond to hold the liner in place, secure the top of the line with rocks, put the plants back in and hope that it rains right afterwards to at least get enough water in the pond for the large fish to survive in.
It's not an easy job especially for one guy to do. It makes it difficult to get the line smooth and the pond level so it fill up correctly, which was a big problem last year.
The waterfall mound is fill in and should be very pretty this year. Had a bull frog singing out there yeasterday and my fish are becoming active. Hopefull I'll have the right combination of time, temperature, and rain to finish the job quickly and correctly this time.
