Grandson Mitchell’s high school football team lost in the second round of the State Football Championship playoffs. It was a good year. Conference Champs. Playoffs!
As Mitchell’s football season ends, he has gained a share of freedom. He passed his Drivers Test and how has his drivers license. If you are his Mom, you have mixed emotions. He has his drivers license (happy). He has his drivers license (oh, oh, oh). Wait until Mom sees the auto insurance cost.
Today you can “be like Bruce”. In the movie “Bruce Almighty”, God gets tired of carrying the load for all of mankind and chooses Bruce (played by Jim Carrey) to substitute for him while he takes a vacation. Bruce inherits the power of God. It takes a while for Bruce to understand the overwhelming power (and responsibility). He finds he can walk on water, cause floods and instanteously procure new cars. He has the power. There is a tune in the movie where Carrey sings to himself “I’ve got the power. I’ve got the power”. What an incredible feeling it must be to have the power over everything. You, too, “have the power”. You can control you life, your kid’s lives and your grandchildren’s lives. All you have to do is vote for what you believe. Today is a national election day. As you march to the polls sing to yourself, “I’ve got the power”. Grab your pen and zap the ballot. Feel the power.
Halloween turned out to be different this year. It was cold and blustery. The number of “trick or treaters” was down substantially. Now your Mom and I have to eat all the extra candy. Right!
Holidays are appraching, fast!
Love,
Dad
