To my Dearest Lydia



Little girls grow up to choose men who are just like their fathers. I heard that said someplace onetime, and I believe it to be true.

 

Lydia is my little girl, and she will remain so until my last day on this earth. No matter how much she grows. And I have come to terms that she's going to grow, I just pray the good Lord will let her stay my little girl just a little while longer!

 

Lydia is sweet and smart, she is homeschooled, so she is not like other 13-year-olds in that respect. People often say, when they find out we home school her, " But what about socialization?”

 

She gets socialization, just not in some petri dish they call a school. There are some places where we can exercise control. Like with people we have knowledge of and who care for her. This post is for Lydia. It is not my soapbox so I can tell you what I think about public education. I think you've already figured that out anyway. You do you. If public schools work for you, great!

But as I said, this post is for and about Lydia.  I try to set an example, of how men should treat a woman. Men need to love and respect a woman. They need to show them dignity so that they feel safe and can follow a path of their choosing.

 

Lydia has always been a bright and inquisitive child growing up. She displays many of the qualities of her mom, sweetness, perseverance, intelligence, and kindness are just a few.

This would be a good place to tell you about a t-shirt I saw once that I'd like to have. No, this isn't one of my many tangents or some shameless plug. Surprisingly, this is in sticking with the topic.

 

On the front of the t-shirt it said, " Yes, I Have a Beautiful Daughter. On the back of the shirt, it said, " I also have a gun, a shovel, and an alibi. "I am a huge proponent of the second amendment!

 

Lydia jumped right in when I arrived back home. I wouldn't be surprised if she became a nurse. Although she has always been good and compassionate with animals. She very well could become the next Dr. Doolittle!

 

Lydia has the capacity to become anything she puts her mind to. Like her mom, she has the ingenuity to figure anything out. That's why she is my computer person. And that's why in many ways this BLOG is possible.

 

So, if you do come to call on my little girl, should you not pass the muster with her two brothers, and by some miracle, manage to get by them. They both love the second amendment even more than I do.

 

You will have to get past an impossible force. A virtual wall of impenetrability. A strength that no one has ever beat. That even the most powerful men flee or drop to their knees, begging for mercy. I mean her mom of course! Happy Birthday my sweet young woman!

Cast of Characters

  We each surround ourselves with people by choice or by necessity, I'm no different. It's important that you learn who my players are, and that you figure out who your key players are along the way. Ask yourself, if you had a serious, life-changing accident, who’s the first person you could expect to be right by your side? Now I know this is where I'm going to lose a lot of you, but I don't care. The answer is Jesus! No, this isn't a religious BLOG, but when it comes to my faith, I make no apologies. Jesus is the first one I know I can count on. Now when we're talking earthbound souls, there is first my wife Jonell, she is an amazing woman and my true soul mate! When you are talking about supporting actors, you must ask yourself, if that person were playing BINGO and they are holding on one number, are they likely to stay and finish the game, or get right up and rush to be by your side when they hear that you are in need? You definitely want the latter...

In the beginning

Imagine if you will it's almost bedtime, and you start to think about all the things you need to get done tomorrow. Of course, there's work, tomorrow I need to be there at one. And then, the car is due for an oil change, if I leave early for work, I should be able to get it done in time and you still have to get registered with some other companies for AEP (Insurance Term), it's just around the corner. I'll have time to do that during my lunch break. Then you told your son you'd swing by his place to take a look at his jeep, it's making a strange noise. You can leave even earlier for work, that hopefully won't take too long. Sound familiar? Although the list of things to be done will be different, it's what each of us goes through almost every night. Planning a day so full that we don't leave ourselves much wiggle room. And when something goes wrong, we stress out. And when we stress out, we cause those around us to get stressed. Not a healthy way to...

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

  Now comes the time that we celebrate one year of the Bedheadbob BLOG.  Well actually, the one year anniversary won't be the one year anniversary, it isn't until this Saturday, April 8th, so you still have time to get me that red Corvette I've always wanted.  On a serious note though, it is a special moment for me, as I celebrate not only the accomplishment of what I consider to be one of the crowning accomplishments of my life, but also the bond I feel with each of you, although we've never met, at least most of us.  Which brings me to the topic of this week's BLOG... YOU! For the past several weeks, I have dedicated a BLOG post the some very special people in my life. All of them women, but that could just be a coincidence; ). This week is no exception. I am continuing by saluting the readers of this BLOG, who make this all worth while. No matter where you are along your own personal journey, you should know what a big part my journey you have become, and I hope ...
