If one is good, two is better

Will cannot do anything is simple ordinary terms which reminds me so much of Pappa. The more endeavors he had his hands in the better he liked it. Evidently that was a lesson he taught Will and Will learned it well. Several weeks ago Will bought a Freight liner and a trailer to haul 9 cars. It has not run int the past few weeks as much as he would like; therefore, this week he bought him a box trailer so he can haul freight also. I wonder if this craziness will every stop.



The time is coming quickly when I absolutely refuse to do any more work for him. Titles, Insurance, and all retails sales is enough for me, after all I do have jobs of my own that I must perform. He seems to forget that when he needs something done. He has been wearing me and the fax machine out lately. I think he needs a wife who could be his secretary. No wait, that probably would not work because he is really hard to work for. He wants things done one way, his way and that is not usually the way things really need to be done. I do not back down and he will not often cross me because he knows it is not going to do any good. I am the final authority if he wants me to do the work. Can you see that control part of me coming out, as the kids say I am a "control freak."



Tonight has been a restful night for me which I desperately needed after a very stressful week in which I did not accomplish nearly what I needed to do and even stayed up later several nights to finish some things.



I have been really bothered this week by something I see in some people. Does loyalty and your word not mean anything in this day and time? I believe your word is your bond. If I say something you can believe even if I said it in haste I am going to abide by what I said. Why do some people have trouble standing by what they say or even being truthful in ever word that proceeds from their mouths. Things like that not only anger me but they frustrate and hurt me as well. Just do what you say you are going to do! Are we, as parents in the society in which we live, failing miserably at teaching basic character traits like truth, honesty, respect for elders, and loyalty to our children. It saddens me greatly to see this happening and I have made a resovle to do what I can to instill these traits in children that cross my path. Eventhough choosing the right way may not be the popular choice most times God calls us to the path less traveled, which I believe is the path I am referring to here. Although we may never see the rewards this side of heaven, a loving Heavenly Father sees and knows all our traits and if those traits are undesirable He is waiting for anyone who is willing to seek Him and He will change you little by little as the process of transformation takes place, little by little each day.
