As we enter the new year, I still remain a confused senior…\I hope our readers enjoy this humorous dose of reality.So now cocaine is legal in Oregon, but straws aren’t. That must be frustrating.Still trying to get my head around the fact that ‘Take Out’ can mean food, dating, or murder.

Well, once again the Christmas season is upon us. It seems we hardly get through the Fourth of July before the stores are hawking Christmas items nowadays.

We live in an age that is obsessed with things. We fill our homes with the latest gadgets and fashions and then, when we run out of space, rent a storage unit.

Sometimes we just don’t realize how “lucky” we are. David Martin knows that he is… It all began with a car accident in January. Driving in snowy and icy conditions, my car spun out and plowed into an oncoming vehicle.The front end of my car on the passenger side was totaled.

We all know that drugs are destroying our country. It is not just in the bigger cities but the problem exists in most small communities. Recently, only seven miles from Holdenville, there were two gang-related shootings.

For nine years, my wife and I lived in the city, down a long lane, next to the Quaker meeting I pastored. Our first Halloween, we loaded up on candy, anticipating a horde of pirates, ghosts, and witches.

Thought I’d let my doctor check me, cause I didn’t feel quite right. All those aches and pains annoyed me, and I couldn’t seep at night. He could find no real disorder, but he wouldn’t let it rest. What with Medicare and Blue Cross, it wouldn’t hurt to do some tests!

This year will be the 58th year since my graduation. I can still do everything I did in high school (in my mind). However, if we start playing football again there will have to be a few changes. If there isn’t one already, someone needs to start a seniors’ football league.

Prayer changes things. That is more than just a slogan, it is a fact. A few weeks ago a friend of mine stopped by the office and also brought me its following article about prayer. I dreamed that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around.

My favorite story of the week is about a gentlemen named Morris.He is an 82 year-old man who went to the doctor to get a physical. A few days later, the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a gorgeous young woman on his arm.
