I remember being a teenager actually trying to imagine what the year 2000 would be like. I tried to imagine what I would look like or be like when I turned 40. I had never tried to imagine being 50.
Now...I am still enjoying excellent health,
I have the best wife in the world,
I have a house full of 7 beautiful kids,
I have a job I love.
And best of all....I have Jesus!

Rex, if you really want that date, set it up through Detective K. Gibson, Badge #1872 at 757-382-6161 Refer to case #10-86083 Or perhaps contact our attorney. I can get you his name and number if you need it. If you care to speak civilly you can e-mail me at johnson29707@yahoo.com. I will not exchange words with you through this blog.
