2009 Year in Review

12/30/2009 5:32:26 AM 2009 YEAR IN REVIEW: I guess it’s a bout time that I write a little bit about our year in review. Sally & I were discussing our highlights and lowlights of 2009 and we’re working on the top 10 issues. WE’RE DEBT FREE! On Nov 2009 I was able to pay off the home equity loan in full! The “HEL” loan had ballooned up to 18K at one point. We were using this loan as an excuse for spending more than we were making. I only have a little visa to pay off. I fixed up my “hearse.” The 73’ Ford truck was my parents’ truck from years ago. When DAD passed away in 1978, I bought this keepsake for to remain in the family. In order to be debt free we merely had to BUDGET our money. I use Microsoft excel to budget the figures. We are lifetime members of Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University. We first attended a class back in 2006. We used the turtle method as opposed to the gazelle method. Those who have participated in FPU would understand. Our Lutheran church here

Year End In review

YEAR END THOUGHTS: Well, another year is almost over .. THANK GOD! I love to watch all these year-end TV folks talk about the 2009 year in review. CBS Sunday morning ran a year in review of the deaths in 2009. The individuals I was able to quickly write down were: Ted Kennedy Michael Jackson Farah Faucett Ed McMahon Patrick Swazie To name a few. I’m pleased to announce that Myron Holter Is NOT on the list. myron@myownfaith2.com

Stimulus Church

RECENT VIRGINIA CHURCH SERVICE -STIMULUS SERMON Genesis 47:13-27 I would love to give the Pastor of this predominantly black church in Virginia a hug and a high five. This guy is obviously a leader Perhaps we should each decide who our real leader is...It is amazing to see that very little has changed in 4,000 years. --------------------------------------------------- Good morning, brothers and sisters; it's always a delight to see the pews crowded on Sunday morning, and so eager to get into God's Word. Turn with me in your Bibles, if you will to the 47th chapter of Genesis, we'll begin our reading at verse 13, and go through verse 27. Brother Ray, would you stand and read that great passage for us? ....(reading)... Thank you for that fine reading, Brother Ray... So we see that economic hard times fell upon Egypt , and the people turned to the government of Pharaoh to deal with this for them. And Pharaoh nationalized the grain harvest, and placed the grai

It's a Wonderful Life

IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE: Yes indeed, it is TRULY a wonderful life! Yesterday Mark, Sally & myself were honored to attend the sold out musical performance of “It’s a Wonderful Life” at the Topeka Civic Theater. Our local NBC TV network played the original black and white version. We have it on our DVR box. I related a lot to George Bailey, the main lead. In 25 words or less, here is the story: A good man, George Bailey, is disappointed and wants to die. An angel appears to save him. Here’s my wonderful life: A follower of Jesus, Myron D. Holter, is disappointed. He does NOT want to die. He’s writing about his life and posting his writings on the web. myron@myownfaith2.com

My Promise

I PROMISE: I, Myron D. Holter, promise only five things in my lifetime. 1) I promise to Follow Jesus 2) I promise to remain faithful to my wife Sally. 3) I promise to question with Boldness 4) I promise to hold on to the Truth. 5) I promise to speak without fear. The first two came from me. The last three came from Glenn Beck. A Merry Christmas to all of you reading this via e-mail and the web. I will now post this to our public blog. myron@myownfaith2.com

Americans For Prosperity

Image
Dear Myron, Yesterday at 1:30 p.m. two very different meetings occurred. On the grounds of the United States Capitol, thousands of grassroots activists from across the nation rallied in a park with the media present. Our message to the Senate was simple: "Keep your hands off our health care!" CLICK HERE FOR PICTURES Meanwhile, at the White House, President Obama, Majority Leader Harry Reid, other liberal Senators and their special interest allies met behind closed doors to cut political deals, twist arms and plot strategy -- all to get their health care takeover bill across the finish line and out of the Senate. At our open air rally, Laura Ingraham, Dr. Tom Coburn, Sen. Jim DeMint, Sen. Richard Burr, Sen. Johnny Isakson, Jim Martin of 60 Plus, and our Tea Party Patriot friends Jenny Beth Martin and Mark Meckler detailed our reasons for opposing this disastrous health care takeover while urging Americans to stay in the fight for our freedoms. Across the nation, thousands more

Christmas

12/17/2009 6:17:14 AM CHRISTMAS: I used to like Christmas. When I was a little guy, Christmas was always something I looked at with earnest. My parents would always make it fun. We lived on a farm NE of Bruce SD. I am the 5th child of six children. I’m the thorn between two roses. MY PARENTS: Adolph Holter (1908-1978) Cecelia (Bergh) Holter (1913- ) My Siblings: Wesley Holter Nov 1937 ? Ronny Holter Nov 1938 ? Dale Holter Feb 1941 ? Adelpha (Holter) Reppe July 1943? Myron Holter 012345 (How about that J ) And lastly my baby sister Julie (Holter) Anderson (Sept 1948?) So with that in mind, Christmas time was always enjoyable. I don’t enjoy Christmas anymore. BAH-HUMBUG or the NorVegun expression UFF-DA Someday I’m hoping to cross off #1 & #2 on my bucket list. Maybe, just maybe I can enjoy Christmas again someday. Please pray for my hatred to disappear. The family therapy meeting will commence later this afternoon. I am not optimistic. I guess I’ll post this to my public

Best Of Topeka Award 2009

Image
BEST OF TOPEKA: WOW! I feel so honored! I was going through my emails the other day and came across this award. So I visited the Topeka Chamber of Commerce website to get the award. The plaque costs $79.99 I guess I’ll just make a web page and save 80.00 bucks. I’m cheap !!! Myron@myownfaith2.com

Let me Give

LET ME GIVE 12/8/2009 6:08:06 AM I do not know how long I will Live But while I live, Lord, let me give Some comfort to someone in need By smile or nod, kind word or deed. And let me do whatever I can To ease things for my fellow man. I want naught but to do my part To lift a tired or weary heart To change folks’ frowns to smiles again Then I will not have lived in vain And I’ll not care how long I’ll live If I can give … And give … and give.

Just Laugh at them

JUST LAUGH AT THEM: 12/7/2009 6:06:53 AM Greetings everyone whose reading my writings. May the Lord be with you. I am currently reading the Limbaugh letter and came across the article where Rush is interviewing Sarah Palin. In the interview, Rush mentions her book on “Do I respond to attacks?” His answer was to just laugh at them. That is my answer to all you “Liberals” out there reading my latest blog. I am humored by your ignorance. You know who you are. By calling me a hypocrite, among many other names, you are merely revealing your ignorance. I’m a Christian Conservative Blogger and I am what I am. Now if you’ll all excuse me, I’ve got other important matters to attend to. Coffee’s ready myron@myownfaith2.com

Topeka KS government

TOPEKA CITY GOVERNMENT: 12/4/2009 3:03:00 AM Dear Topeka City governing bodies: As a tax-paying citizen, I feel I can contribute to help making OUR government more efficient. Remember, I’m a Christian Conservative blogger. I do ALL my work to the glory of OUR Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I also ran for mayor back in Feb. 2005. I do have an opinion. CURRENT TOPEKA GOVERNMENT: Mayor (1) Manager (1) Council (9) PROPOSED TOPEKA GOVERNMENT: Mayor(s) (2) Manager (1) Council (4) CURRENT SALARIES: Mayor $ 20,000 Manager 137,500 Council 90,000 _______ Total 247,500 PROPOSED SALARIES: Mayor(s) – $ 70,714.28 (two) Manager 35,357.14 (one) Council(s) – 4 141,428.56 (four) TOTAL _______________ $ 247,500 Notice that the total salaries are unchanged. As the originator of this idea, I’ll only charge the city $2,500 to make it a nice round number to $250,000. J CITY COUNCIL REORGANIZED: The city will be divided up into quadrants. The north/south quadrant will be Topeka Avenu

Dizziness

Dr. Visit today 12/1/2009 4:19:20 AM Today my health journey is to take me to a Dr. Lane on Lane St. Our primary physician recommends that I see someone to look into my head. I hope he/she finds something. I’m a Tiger supporter. Get the media out of it. If he has family problems, let him work it out without the whole world knowing. Guess I’ll get the 1st cup of coffee….GREAT !! It doesn’t get any better than this! I made a new web page www.myownfaith2.com/ymca It’s interesting how the Internet works. I write in the AM and post my thoughts for the whole world to read. Unfortunately, there are a lot of bad folks out there who would like to do harm to us. Hopefully if you’re reading this, you’re NOT one of them. Keep the writings clean. Just ask me. myron@myownfaith2.com

UFF-da

NOVEMBER 2009 (UFF-DA) 11/30/2009 2:22:43 AM I would like to close this November 2009 with one word. UFF-DA To those in SW Topeka KS (like me) that’s NorVegun word. I know-I know, my spell checker is going berserk on me .. but you know what I DON’T CARE!! Currently the health at the Myron Holter household sucks, if anyone cares. Last night while working at the Y, Sally did her usual klutzy thing and ran into a bar bell machine. I walked to the Y and drove her home. It’s now 2:30 AM and I’m listening to Sally sleep and there’s no noise coming from her bedroom. That’s GOOD! Sally has sleep apnea and we cannot sleep together. But she has given me many conjugal visits. HA She asked me to take a picture of her ONCE wearing her contraption called CPAP. I guess it’s better that she wears this contraption or face death. I prefer the earlier. My question is: ?? How’s going to take care of who? Thanks GOD for our ready made caregiver son, Mark. BTW .. Did you know that I made a web pag

YMCA: 11/29/2009 7:11:18 AM Sally & I have both worked at the YMCA. Sally is still working at the SW Y near our home. I worked part time at the downtown Y from Mar 2001-summer 2005? I could be wrong on the exact date I got downsized. Some like to say “fired”. Why am I writing about the Y? Well, I’ve decided to join Jerry C. and talk about the “C” in the Y. We meet every Tues @ 7:00 PM at the chapel. The web address that’s currently in progress is www.myownfaith2.com/ymca EVERYONE IS WELCOME! myron@myownfaith2.com

"Bud" Day, Medal of Honor Recipient

Image
Medal of Honor recipient Bud Day Speaks of Torture I got shot down over N Vietnam in 1967, a Sqdn. Commander. After I returned in 1973...I published 2 books that dealt a lot with "real torture" in Hanoi . Our make believe president is branding our country as a bunch of torturers when he has no idea what torture is. As for me, put thru a mock execution because I would not respond... pistol whipped on the head...same event.. Couple of days later... hung by my feet all day. I escaped and a couple of weeks later, I got shot and recaptured. Shot was OK...what happened afterwards was not. They marched me to Vinh...put me in the rope trick, trick...almost pulled my arms out of the sockets. Beat me on the head with a little wooden rod until my eyes were swelled shut, and my unshot, unbroken hand a pulp. Next day hung me by the arms... rebroke my right wrist... wiped out the nerves in my arms that control the hands... rolled my fingers up into a ball. Only left the slightest

Black Friday

Image
BLACK FRIDAY: 11/27/2009 4:12:03 AM Why do they call it that? .. Who knows? Maybe it’s because all these retail outlets are banking on their financial futures on one day. As for my house, and me, we’ll stay home thank you. My Thanksgiving is one of dizziness, headaches and now the common cold. Hopefully it’s just the common cold and not the swine flu. UFF-DA Yesterday we picked up our son and enjoyed a feast at the AG hall here in Topeka. I shared my business card with the folks. I might ask Sally to not have our friend Julie S. over for after Thanksgiving feast. I was able to take a photo of our non-burned #20 turkey this year. If you want to see the picture, you’ll have to visit our web. I’ll lead you in the right direction. All in all, our Thanksgiving was a blessing. We have Jesus in our hearts, and that’s all that matters. L8r

Thanksgiving Day

THANKSGIVING: 11/26/2009 4:56:22 AM HAPPY THANKSGIVING! What should you do to celebrate Thanksgiving Day when you’re sick? I looked in my throat and saw some white blotches in there. The dizziness continues too I guess I’ll go through my computer and get rid of unwanted emails. OH WELL!

Sarah Palin

SARAH PALIN: 11/24/2009 6:42:40 AM I like Sarah Palin! I like her politics. I like her answers she gave to FOX news. I even like her looks. She reminds me a lot of Ronald Reagan. Our country is in NEED of a person like Sarah Palin. I even purchased her book “Going Rogue.” Yesterday I spent most of my day fixing my poorly constructed city barn. There’s a little “problem” called wood rot. We live on the side of a hill and I forgot to remember to construct a guttering system. OH WELL. I consider my time spent in our backyard my therapy. I need help! myron@myownfaith2.com

Thanksgiving week

THANKSGIVING WEEK: 11/23/2009 4:58:08 AM Here’s wishing you all a very Happy Thanksgiving week. Sally & I will most likely celebrate Thanksgiving week like we always do, with family & friends. Our schedule will be the same as millions of other families like to celebrate this holiday. This year I want to do the turkey right! Last year I burned the turkey on the smoker. We have many social networking sites of which I have made links to www.myownfaith2.com/blog To all you nay Sayers out there .. UFF-DA !!! Please get out of my space!!! Ask me about RELIV.com too and read our mission statement as posted on page one of our home page. Check ‘em out myron@myownfaith2.com

FAITH COMES BY HEARING

FAITH COMES BY HEARING: 11/20/2009 5:46:33 AM Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. I have just finished round two of a 40 day listening tour of the new testament here at home. My hometown Lutheran church in Bruce SD was giving out the CD’s. I picked up a copy while I was running for President last July 2008. J I’ve decided that one should NOT read the book of Revelations to the kindergarteners. The Gospel of John would be more appropriate for the kids in school. Then again, with the PC government the way it is today, just to mention GOD could land you in the slammer. Thank GOD for the Internet. My writings are all on my computer. Better get busy. myron@myownfaith2.com

KINDNESS

KINDNESS: 11/19/2009 5:06:17 AM One of the fruits of the spirit is kindness. Yesterday I decided to get some supplies at Lowes here in Topeka KS. I run out of gas on 29th street. I was able to limp along to the Oriental Express Café close to a gas station. The rear end of the truck was protruding out on the busy street. While standing next to my hearse wondering what to do, out come 5 or 6 big Orientals asking me if I needed a push. I was very thankful! One of the employees gave me a ride to Gregg Tire to get some gas. I was indeed very thankful to the Oriental Express employees for giving me a push away from danger. Later on the way to the downtown Y for my almost daily workout my ’95 Toyota needed some gas. While pumping the gas at 6th & Lane I had a short conversation with a disabled Veteran in need. He had only $1.35 to place fuel into his vehicle. He was trying to make it to KCMO. I felt sorry for him. So I used my card and filled up his vehicle with gas. I gave thi

My Health

THE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT: 11/18/2009 5:29:57 AM Here are some of the fruits of the spirit as listed in the BIBLE: LOVE – JOY – PEACE – are just a few of them. Now I yearn to read the BIBLE on a daily basis. By reading/listening to the BIBLE, does that make me better than anyone else? – ABSOLUTELY NOT! My BIBLE READING SCHEDULE: Listening to a CD from my church for ½ hour per day. Then I try to read a little bit from the old and New Testament. Yesterday I attended an American for Prosperity meeting here in Topeka. We listened to another Milton Friedman’s video about our school system. I went to a one-room grade school in Bruce SD, 1961-59. Mrs. Bombeck was my grade school teacher from grades one-through eight. I guess I came out ok. We didn’t have computers back then. My headaches and dizziness are still there. Dr. Davis wants me to go see a ear-nose-eye specialist. I agree. I also am taking medicine for diabetes and now depression. OH WELL myron@myownfaith2.com

NOVEMBER BLOG: 11/17/2009 5:15:51 AM TO SELF: This is my PUBLIC blog. This file can be uploaded to my PUBLIC writings for ALL to read. Keep it clean! I have been reading a book titled “American Lion” by Jon Meacham. Here’s is an excerpt from page 14: Andrew, if I should not see you again, I wish you to remember and treasure up some things I have already said to you: in this world you will have to make your own way. To do that you must have friends. You can make friends by being honest, and you can keep them by being steadfast. You must keep in mind that friends worth having will in the long run expect as much from you as they give to you. To forget an obligation or be ungrateful for a kindness is a base crime – not merely a fault or a sin, but an actual crime. Men guilty of it sooner or later must suffer the penalty. In personal conduct be always polite but never obsequious. None will respect you more than you respect yourself. Avoid quarrels as long as you can without yield

It's Monday

IT’S MONDAY: 11/16/2009 6:11:30 AM Yes indeed, it’s Monday and I can still write. Sally & I have been talking about what we should do over the upcoming holidays, Thanksgiving & Christmas. We would like to have some friends over, but our home is too messy! And I don’t feel like entertaining at the moment. Maybe it’s just me. I’d be more than happy to just have Mark over and that’s it. Sally purchased a BIG turkey yesterday. I guess I’ll make another attempt to smoke it. Last year I burnt the turkey. We wanted to volunteer to work at the Expo center, but they have enough volunteers, we’ve been told. Topeka KS has an annual Thanksgiving feast from the days of a philanthropist Grant Cushinberry. I have made a link for Grant on our web. Once again, I’m hopeful myron@myownfaith2.com

Jihad Conference in Jerusalem

Here is the speech of Geert Wilders, Chairman, Party for Freedom, the Netherlands , at the Four Seasons, New York , introducing an Alliance of Patriots and announcing the Facing Jihad Conference in Jerusalem . America as the last man standing Dear Friends, Thank you very much for inviting me. I come to America with a mission. All is not well in the old world. There is a tremendous danger looming, and it is very difficult to be optimistic. We might be in the final stages of the Islamization of Europe . This not only is a clear and present danger to the future of Europe itself, it is a threat to America and the sheer survival of the West. The United States as the last bastion of Western civilization, facing an Islamic Europe . First I will describe the situation on the ground in Europe . Then, I will say a few things about Islam. To close I will tell you about a meeting in Jerusalem . The Europe you know is changing. You have probably seen the landmarks. But in all of these cities

Microsoft Products & Diabetes

MICROSOFT: 11/10/2009 4:43:37 AM I think I FINALLY got the right software loaded on my laptop. .. WHEW !! What happened was I have some newer Microsoft software and the system kept asking to install it. I would rather have the older software as I’m more used to the screens. So what’s been happening in my life? Politically, our country is going in the wrong direction. I’m TRYING to do what’s right. Our little Topeka 912 project is limping along. Our little Citizens Against Illegal Immigration Topeka has been disbanded. Our RELIV business pays us exactly what we’re worth. Any direct level marketing business does not come easily. It takes work. Our church is in the process of finding another Pastor. Tonight we’re going to have a get acquainted gathering with our new intentional intern Bernie? More details to follow. Sally & I learned a little more about our disease called diabetes. We attended a diabetes training last night. I guess I can drink all the coffee in moderation.

Computers

COMPUTERS: 11/9/2009 4:20:12 AM You gotta love ‘em. Computers are what I used to run at the Post Office. I was born with a computer next to me. HA Now I need to remove Microsoft office 2000 from my laptop. How many FREE trial versions of the MS software do I want? The answer is as many as my computer can load. Now I am approaching critical mass again with my laptop. How many different versions of MS do I need? The answer is to keep the BEST version and not try to get GREEDY with the latest and greatest. I am NOT into piracy either. If the product is FREE or TRIAL basis, I’ll use it. I am NOT interested in selling pirated software or anything like that. I merely want to share our FAITH on the web. Now I have numerous email addresses on my numerous email addresses of which I don’t have a clue who they are. So I’m going to have to send these unknown email addresses an email asking them to introduce themselves. MOST of these email addresses are computer generated. They remind

Sleeping in

SLEEPING IN: 11/4/2009 6:54:30 AM This retired body is FINALLY starting to sleep in. Notice the time as inserted below the subject line. We need help outside of ourselves. That’s why we call it FAITH. I named our web address my own faith 2 dot com years ago. In fact our web address will be celebrating an anniversary this month. I listen to a CD every day and also try to read scripture daily. Sally is very wise. I made some negative remarks about my family and she suggested I place this blog into a private setting. I did so. Thanks Hon. I guess I’ll post this to my public blog now. Myron@myownfaith2.com

The Weather -1975-

THE WEATHER 10/22/2009 5:42:20 AM Sally & I have learned to have a deep respect for the weather. The year was 1975, around Jan-Feb I believe. We were planning to make a trip to visit brother Dale in Mason City IA, some 400 + miles north of Topeka KS. We leave without checking any weather info. There’s no need, the weather was cloudy with no precipitation in the air. We get as far a Hiawatha KS corner by Sabetha KS and the weather is starting to spit snow. NO BIG DEAL, this farm boy from SD is invincible. AFTER All, no amount of weather will deter me from my appointed task, to visit my brother. We continue north through Auburn and Nebraska City NE and the weather continues to deteriorate. But no amount of weather or anything will stop this stubborn NorVegun from his appointed mission. We follow a truck on I-29 on the way to Council Bluffs IA and I then decide to turn around near Percival IA. We were in a white out. I proceed to stop at a gas station in Nebraska City and purcha

CONSERVATIVE OR LIBERAL

CONSERVATIVE OR LIBERAL? 10/20/2009 4:59:35 AM This is so sad, but true If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn`t buy one. If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed. If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn`t eat meat. If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone. If a conservative sees a foreign threat, he thinks about how to defeat his enemy. A liberal wonders how to surrender gracefully and still look good. If a conservative is homosexual, he quietly leads his life. If a liberal is homosexual, he demands legislated respect. If a black man or Hispanic are conservative, they see themselves as independently successful. Their liberal counterparts see themselves as victims in need of government protection. If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him. If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels. Liberals

Topeka KS (city gov-t)

JUST AN IDEA 10/19/2009 4:40:44 AM Our Topeka KS city government is in a flux and I have an idea on how to make it run more efficiently. We should make some major changes. Here’s our current annual salary structure City Manager - $137,500 Mayor - 20,000 City council (9) 90,000 Totaling $ 247,500 in Salaries alone For my services I’ll only charge $2,500 for my advice. This will make it a nice round even number to work with, totaling $250,00 in city payroll. Remember, these city government servants are to be paying attention to us taxpayer citizens. We are your bosses in the final analysis. Here’s my projected future salary redistribution of wealth, as our current president likes to call it. City manager $35,714.28 Mayors (2) $35,714.28 City council (4) $35,714.28 ---------------- TOTAL $250,000 With our federal deficit in the trillions, I’ll not quibble about the math. Currently our Topeka KS city government is divided up into nine districts, with elections

My Family

MEN ARE FROM MARS 10/15/2009 4:58:16 AM A few years ago I read a book called “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus”, the author slips my mind at the moment. In the book, the author describes the difference between men and women. Well, this book describes Sally & I to a “T”. I’m the dude from Mars and my beloved Sally is my “Venus (in blue jeans)”. Isn’t that a song? Why am I writing about a book? Today I’m having my first in a long time visit with my #1 John and his younger brother. We’re going to have a father/son luncheon together. My Venus wife has been crying as of late. She wants us to be a family again. So do I. Later tonight, we are having another states rights committee meeting. I’m on the brochure committee. We’ll meet at another undisclosed location. Wish us well God Bless, myron@myownfaith2.com

My Family

FAMILY: 10/14/2009 5:16:38 AM The word “family” is a powerful word. My family is my wife Sally. We have two sons, John & Mark. John married Kim in 2005. They have one child, Madeline. Our church family is at OSLC here in Topeka, KS. Our pastor has resigned after two short years in the ministry. I understand that there’s a pool of interim pastors listed in the www.elca.org available for work. I attend church at OSLC to sing with our church family. The decisions to hire another pastor will be done by someone other than me. But I do have an opinion about the ELCA.org Our mutual friends are also our family. The names that come to mind are also our church family. I’ll not mention any names. Our political family is another adjective. Our political world is turned upside down. I consider myself a fiscal conservative. My heroes in the political world are people like Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Ronald Reagen, and the media of FOX. Of course I pay attention to the left wing medi

I LIKE FOX

I LIKE FOX: 10/13/2009 5:54:05 AM There .. I said it! Does that make me a homophobe, sexist, racist, radical, gun toting, bible toting, tea bagger? SO BE IT! Take that all you bleeding heart liberals! You know who you are! Guess I’ll post this to our web. www.myownfaith2.com/blog myron@myownfaith2.com

Martha Towner

Dear friends, Jim and I are leaving shortly on a missions trip to Costa Rica. Jim will be contacting some Bible schools there concerning the DVD and online school he is working on. We will also be visiting dear friends, Mike and Noribette Day who work tirelessly with AWANA, directing and training leaders for that great work among children. I asked what they would like us to bring and they request special vitamins which have helped their daughter with her migraines. Would you like to participate in this cause? I will include three of their recent news letters at the bottom of this e mail so you can see what they are doing. You can make out checks to "CrossRoads Church" with "To Every Nation" in the memo line and include a separate note saying it is for the Costa Rica mission. CrossRoads Church 3835 W. Old Shakopee Rd. Ste. 300-190 Bloomington, MN, 55431 Mike and Noribette also ask for prayer for another matter. While they have had tremendous success in the n

Hateful People

HATEFUL PEOPLE: 10/11/2009 5:05:14 PM II just read a blog from some hateful person. How am I supposed to answer this unknown? http://cjonline.com/interact/blog/emayormy/2009-10-11/youve_got_the_time 10/12/2009 7:53:09 AM OK … I’ve decided to think about the hateful reply in the above fore mentioned blog reply and think about what this hateful person wrote. I have too much to do to be concerned about other people’s hate. Jesus is my savior and those who choose to degenerate themselves with these hate-filled blogs are not even worth my writing time. … OK ?? Today I plan on checking on my hearse, the old ¾ ton truck. It failed to start. L8r myron@myownfaith2.com

You've got the time

FAITH COMES BY HEARING 10/11/2009 6:41:00 AM Faith comes by hearing, and hearing comes from the Word of God. Last July, while I was visiting my hometown of Bruce SD, I was able to pick up a FREE CD titled “You’ve got the time” This CD is a 40-day plan for listening to the New Testament only 28 minutes a day. Today I plan to listen to day 12 today. If only our political leaders would spend a few minutes daily with the bible, our world would be a whole lot better. I plan to share this CD with our church here in Topeka KS at their next church council meeting. Speaking of the church I attend here in Topeka KS, our church has lost it’s pastor. We’re currently in an interim position. OH WELL Thanks to Grace Lutheran Bruce SD for the CD myron@myownfaith2.com

BLAME BUSH (ii)

BLAME BUSH (part II) 10/9/2009 5:12:38 AM Let me start by saying to all you LOSERS .. YOU’RE NOT WORTH MY TIME .. OK? You’re all invited to surf on over to the blog section of http://cjonline.com and merely search for my name. I’m Myron Holter and my user id is “emayormy” in our LOCAL Topeka KS paper. You negative people who reply in a hateful way need to get a life. I read your replies to my post to Sally and we were BOTH humored. She verbally answered “They don’t even know you.” My answer to those negative people is .. “I don’t care.” So there you negative people.. Take that in your pipe and smoke it. If you don’t have the courage to post your blogs with your name and town and some means of communication, your replies are of no value. Thanks for allowing me to vent … Post to: http://www.myownfaith2.com/blog OH .. Here’s a couple more Blame Bush “issues” quoted from our future caregiver and #2 son , Mark Holter.

NOSTALGIA

NOSTALGIA: 10/5/2009 6:26:32 AM Yesterday Sally & I spent a nice quiet day at home celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. All the important people in our lives remembered our day together also. My 95-year-old mother, CeCe, called us. That was fun! Our #2 son, Mark, and my baby sis, Julie, sent us a personal email. We got some cards in the mail. Life doesn’t get any better than that! We wished our pastor well as yesterday was her last day. There were a few tears shed. We’ll miss her! Our church’s web address is at www.oslctopeka.org if anyone wants to visit us. It’s much better to visit in person though. Pastor Meggan was with us only two years. Most ministers in the ELCA synod last more that that I’m sure. I might have to do a search on that stat. Her reasons for leaving were to spend more time with her family. I understand that completely. Like any other church, there’s dissention. We’ll need to turn to GOD in prayer for our church.

Happy 40th ANNIVERSARY to us

OUR 40TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY 10/4/2009 6:03:24 AM A Happy Anniversary to you and I my love. I LOVE YOU! We have been through a lot of ups and downs throughout our 40 years of wedded bliss. They say that marriage is an institution. I guess I’ve been institutionalized most of my life. Are we going to celebrate? Whatever you’d like to do babe, as long as we do it together.. Ok? Yesterday we attended a Blues & BBQ at our church. It was fun! There were even a few biker friends dropping by for some free food. I met a few folks and invited them to our church. Also, yesterday our little group called Citizens Against Illegal Immigration Topeka dissolved. Paul D. , our President, turned in his resignation. My job as the event coordinator is to cancel the library-meeting place. I thanked Paul for his three plus years of serving as president. I’ll need to update our web also. myron@myownfaith2.com

91 committee meeting

ANOTHER PRIVATE MEETING 10/2/2009 6:48:10 AM I attended another meeting last night. This time I brought my beloved wife of many years along. We discussed states rights, which is the 10th Amendment to the constitution. This committee is a grassroots movement from the Glenn Beck movement. If anyone wants more info, you’ll have to catch up with me on my blogs. http://www.myownfaith2.com/blog

JUST DIE

JUST DIE 10/1/2009 6:43:06 AM Why live anymore? The road of life has many detours. Just yesterday I got a reject e-file email from the IRS. I KNOW – I KNOW, it’s after April 15th. The story of my life is one of procrastination. So now I’ll need to decipher the Turbo Tax email and correct my errors.. According to Turbo Tax, hope is not lost. They even want me to call the IRS for help – imagine that! Now the State of Kansas wants me to show them that I’m trying to find a job. OK – I confess, I haven’t been looking hard. So I guess I’ll pound the streets. There is indeed SOME bit of honesty in our government, especially when it comes to their expenses. Better get busy with all these challenges. OH – I’m not going to JUST DIE and I’m a REPUBLICAN. Myron@myownfaith2.com (This email address works too)

LIGHT-EM UP

LIGHT-em UP! 9/29/2009 7:54:02 AM Light-em up if you got ‘em. That’s what my drill sergeant used to order us when we took a break from basic training. So what’s a non-smoker like me to do? I watched my fellow comrades getting their “fix.” This was in Sept. 1966 @ Lackland AFB, TX Let’s scroll back in time to 1959. I was a freshman at Bruce High School, Bruce SD. My freshman friends and I would like to take our recess breaks behind the school OUTSIDE and wanted me to light up with them. It was KEWL to smoke, remember? But I knew that smoking was NOT a healthy thing to pursue, in spite of my so-called “friends” insistence. So I choose not to smoke, but I was curious as to why I should smoke. After all, my peers were insisting that I smoke, as it’s fun you know. So .. on a Sunday afternoon when my parents were at church and our farm house was vacated, I decided to experiment. I purchased a pack of unfiltered Camels. Remember, I was only 14 years old and Bud & Micks Café in Bruce

EMAIL-COMPUTERS-INTERNET-FAITH-BLOGS

EMAIL-COMPUTERS-INTERNET-FAITH 9/28/2009 6:27:40 AM Sometimes I get discouraged. This last week our dog died. Charlie was a long time friend for 11 ½ years. I wrote about it in my blog. My folks were sympathetic with their email replies. Many could care less. I wrote a blog about our current political situation in http://cjonline.com and got some hate reply posts. What’s up with that? Here’s the web address if anyone wants to go there: http://cjonline.com/user/emayormy There’s lot of negative people out there in cyber-space. But I’ll continue to press on for Jesus. I just finished listening to the New Testament. Time to start over. That’s about it for today.

Topeka 912 project

PRESSING ON 09/22/2009 4:48:35 AM I am pressing on, no matter what! The liberals are starting to read my writings and I guess it’s starting to get under their skin. I guess that’s good! Last night I attended a 912 meeting at an undisclosed location here in Topeka KS. You left wing liberals are NOT welcome. Now if you’ll all excuse me, I’ve got some TRUTH investigations ahead of me. We were passing our cards last night also. My state rep. Joe Patton, was in attendance. He is one of the good guys. I’m on day 32 of day 40 in LISTENING to the bible. Let’s ALL use our skills to the glory of our god. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. It’s in the Bible .. look it up.

OBAMA

ACORN-SCANDALS-OBAMA-CONTROVERSY--MORE 9/21/2009 6:21:57 AM Those idiots who reply to my blogs without signing their identity are cowards! If they reply to my blogs & emails and sign with their name & town – they’re patriots. I guess idiot is the wrong word. A better word would be pinhead. Take that all you pinheads – you know whom you are. I saw a sign from the 912 project: One Big Aweful Mistake America How appropriate. Now if you’ll excuse me, coffee is awaiting. Also, our church is going through some conflict. Pray for our church, ok?

Grace and Peace to you

9/20/2009 5:19:54 AM GREETINGS: Grace and peace to you from our Lord and Savior Jesus THE Christ. I’m writing this from my laptop here in my office chair and recliner. It’s been a while since I’ve written about where I do all my writings. I write whatever comes to mind for the present day. I then post my writings on the Internet. Currently I’ve been listening to the CD, “Faith comes by hearing”. By listening to the New Testament I’ve been enlightened. The apostle Paul went through hell in his day. He was persecuted, thrown in prison, and betrayed by his fellow man for preaching the gospel. But he preached the gospel never the less. Now if only we would do likewise. I feel that our current political administration has taken the statist and secular route in our country. We have the greatest country in the world, and our Obama administration is slowly eroding our freedoms. Listening to the news as of late saddens me. The country NEEDS to turn to Jesus and ask for guidance. Our c

FAITH COMES BY HEARING

FAITH COMES BY HEARING 9/17/2009 5:49:34 AM Yesterday Sally & I attended our 1st bible study at our church. There were four of us in attendance. Hopefully there will be more in attendance. Also yesterday I went to go get my personalized license plate. The plate was cut to “HOLTREM”. Guess the hearse christening will have to wait. OH WELL. DISCLAIMER: If you get this email in error and want to be removed, please reply. If you want to reply, please be nice to me, ok? My feelings get hurt easily. Regards, Myron D. Holter Topeka KS 66614

FREEDOM

FREEDOM 9/16/2009 4:59:56 AM Last night I attended another American for Prosperity event at the library. We watched a Milton Friedman’s CD from the 1980’s. Milton used to be Ronald Reagen’s economic advisor. Our freedoms are slowly being eroded away folks. WAKE UP AMERICA!

Financial Peace & our truck

FINANCIAL PEACE & OUR TRUCK 9/15/2009 5:31:18 AM Which subject line should I write about first? How about writing a little bit about Financial Peace? The two words “financial” and “peace” is an oxymoron. Let me save this and look up the word. .. hold on. 9/15/2009 5:46:03 AM Am I good with words, or what !! J Oxymoron is the right word. Look it up. So I present my FREE services to our church council last night. After sitting there for an hour, I finally got my chance to talk about Dave Ramsey’s financial peace. Our church will probably start another class this January. Speaking of Financial Peace, yesterday was also a very expensive day. Midas fixed up the old truck for me. This truck has many memories.
