I have my Polaroid camera out.....still have some film....and when Cliff takes a pic of me (when I am dressed better that is) I will scan it and hopefully be able to upload it onto the forum! This Computer with Windows Vista is for the birds and I'm not one of them!

I love fishing...something I learned from my Dad who is now gone. He and I both loved catfishing. Though I have done no fishing since I moved to the largest inland freshwater lake in Michigan, I caught these 2 catfish down in Lansing in a river.

Nothing of course matters as what I have owned or what I did or where I have been. What matters most is whose I am...I am His. Jesus paid for me with his blood and his life. I am His. All I am is because God set a path before me....sometimes I veered off that path but am back on track. Jesus is Lord and my Savior.

Hey Pete--Thanks for the pics of your dogs. I thought that was a min-pin. My wife did not know. She had a min-pin for many years, but he died about 4 years ago. He was a red min-pin. I like your collection of critters. We have 2 dogs, and a cat. If we had more room, we would have more.
Me again Pete. Thanks for posting the pics of you and the info. I too was associated with the Scouts when I lived in Illinois. I was a Scoutmaster for a few years.
God Bless you for being a Vietnam Vet. I am a Vietnam War Era Vet, but I never made it in country. I joined the Navy in 1974, while the Vietnam Era was still going. My one brother was in 'Nam in 67 and 68. He was is Long Binh and Bien Hoa. He was in Long Binh during Tet. Like you said , it doesn't matter what we have or where we have been or what we have done, what matters is our relationship with Jesus!
