Happy Birthday, Dorothy!

I surprised a friend today after her 66^th birthday and more than 56 surgeries later! For some time now, she’s been through some serious adversities and challenges, but you wouldn’t know it by her calm and peaceful demeanor. By the Grace of God, Dorothy is still standing!  Her positive attitude proves that she is standing in faith and trust that God will never leave her side.  None of us knows the reasoning of God, but we have to trust Him.  His love for us is so deep and wide that we will never understand how much He loves us.  What I do know is that God loves so much that He forgives us faster than we realize.

Dorothy looked and sounded great! We reminisced, laughed and joked. She bragged about her grandchildren looks, talents and intelligence.  I was glad I stopped by.  It was good to see her after a few years.  God bless!

Where Have I Been?

I have been slack. Events have passed and are coming up and I have been procrastinating. It's been a year since our surgery. It has been a minute or two since I took the time to tell Dorothy B and Harold N, two old school friends, that are dealing with their own personal issues, that they stay in my prayers. I have old co-workers that I will always remember but too lazy to call or even text. There are so many things happening in this nation and world that I have not even figured where to start from. I think I'm going through a slump. I'll keep you posted.

RIP, Charlie Murphy!

Birthday Shout Outs To My Brother and My Niece!

Keep an eye out for us, Austin! We will all see each other again! Your daughters are doing great! Tia celebrated her birthday, too! I'm maintaining contact with them constantly. I am not going to mess it up this time! I love you! 

Get well, Dorothy & Harold. I'm praying for you!

Rest In Peace, Ed Harmon!

Dr. George Edwin Harmon LEXINGTON Dr. Harmon, or Ed as he was affectionately known, passed away suddenly on Tuesday, February 7, 2017, at the age of 64. He was a son of the late George and Annie Ruth Harmon. Ed was educated in the public schools of Lexington District One before enrolling at USC. After graduating from USC, he headed to Louisville, Kentucky, with his new wife to attend Southern Baptist Theological Seminary where he earned a master's degree, followed by his doctorate, in Old Testament Studies. Ed was an ordained minister who served churches in Kentucky and South Carolina. He always said that he was called to serve and to teach, and this was evident during his 16 years on the Lexington One School Board. He was also very involved in his home church at Lexington Baptist where he taught a men's Sunday school class for many years. He was a former deacon and trombone player in the church orchestra. He had been employed with the Department of Public Safety for over 16 years. He is survived by his wife, Deb, of 42 years, and a son, Adam, who were the light of his life. Ed is also survived by brothers, Will (Lisa), David (Teresa); sister, Claire; father-in-law, Hamp Gaylord; brother-in-law, Chris (Alice); sister-in-law, Terry (Freddy), as well as many nephews, nieces and friends who already miss his quick wit, his warmth and his brilliant mind. Services will be held on Friday, February 10, 2017, at 2:00 p.m. at Lexington Baptist Church with visitation starting at 12:30 p.m., prior to the service. Burial will follow in Lexington Memorial Cemetery.
