I cannot teach your son to save His people from their sins. I can only love Him and teach Him what I can… By placing wood before Him and nails within His hands… NAILS WITHIN HIS HANDS.

Financial Peace (wk#3)

FINANCIAL PEACE: We attended the 3rd week of FPU last night at our church. The subject was one of debt. I was able to pick up our friend Carol H. There was a lot of good discussion afterwards also. I was able to tell the folks about my two tone car and being able to bargain shop. Sally now has her own workbook along with our old one. FPU is just a lot of common sense concerning YOUR money. If only our politicians and leaders in government would be FPU graduates, we’d have a lot better country. Posted to my public blog: 1/30/2009 5:47:02 AM

City Government & CJ Online

LOCAL POLITICS & CJONLINE Dear City government & Cjonline I’m coRnfused! I was trying to follow Mr. Cobler? Or Mr. Cobbler? Complaint and watch Fox News at the same time. In channel surfing my beloved wife of many years sent me upstairs to watch Cable 4. I witnessed our GREAT statesman Mayor pound the gavel. So I missed the whole scenario. Can someone send me the url (web address) the confiree was referring to? He said it was dated Jan 24 ? I tried to find it and failed to do so. I was beginning to wonder if a food fight was next. Just another concerned Topekan and GLAD my name is NOT in any political race. I had my jollies back in 2005. Here’s wishing ALL the political entries well. You’ll need it.

My Week In Review

Image
YESTERDAY: Yesterday was my (un)BIRTHDAY. Sally agreed to video tape me in my recliner and I also took a self picture and posted it on MY public blog. Yesterday was just another retirement day. I wrote about my thoughts for the day and posted to my blog. What was really neat was a phone visit with my mother. She turned 95 last Nov 1,2008 and I was thrilled to hear her voice. Mom is living in a retirement center in Brookings SD called Greenleaf. She is getting more and more physically frail. Fortunately MoM has all her senses about her and she can intelligently carry on a phone conversation. CeCe (that’s what my DaD called her) and I have a mutual sense of humor. She informed me that she loves me and she even loves my weird sense of humor. I felt so honored to visit with my mother on the phone. I MISS MY MOTHER! I’m a mommy’s boy if you all may or may not know. Another voice phone mail was from my great niece Taylor. She’s a beautiful girl. She’s maybe 5-6 years old? I’ll h

questions from my anonymous friend

WHAT’S REALLY GOING ON AT THE POLES?
 WHY IS THE ICE REALLY MELTING?
 WHERE AND WHAT IS HYPERBOREA?


 If we combine ancient legends with Bible Prophecy, science and archeology and legends we come up with some very interesting information. What you will find is that all these different groups state that original man was almost perfect and that mankind has been devolving not evolving. As an example, Read “Forbidden Archeology” by Michael Cremo which you can find on line at:
 http://www.forbiddenarcheology.com/
 http://www.mcremo.com/ 
 Legends tell us the location for the original race of mankind was not in Africa as we have been schooled to believe by certain scientists, but instead in a place all ancient legends called the “The Garden.” Although the “Garden is known by many names, the location for our original prehistoric ancestors appears to be in the “Garden of Hyperborea” in the “North Pole” region. An interesting aspect of these stories as well as what Jesus (Yashua) taught, is th

SADNESS

1/23/2009 1:31:10 AM SADNESS: It is with great sadness that I write what I’m about to write. I will be completely remove all emails, pictures, CD’s etc. that remind me of the John Holter family. I am planning to box them up and place them in Sally’s bedroom so she can do whatever she wants. There is some great pictures, but these images are no longer going to be part of my life. I had proudly scanned my wallet photo of our only grand daughter and posted the photo to my PUBLIC blog site. I received a hate phone call to remove the photo. I oblidged. I then called my prodigal son, Kim answered, and told him I have removed the photo. That will be the LAST conversation I will have with either of them. The “offending” photo of Maddy has been removed and also any photos in my wallet will be removed. I will only post Madeline photos in my PRIVATE web log, of which only Sally has access. Sally will need to read this public blog and I’ll teach her how to open up protected web sites. We’re

Operation "D.O.N."

OPERATION DON: Our new Obama administration is planning to close Club Gitmo. I have yet another idea. If I were the commander, the mission statement should be called: OPERATION DON: DARK OF NIGHT The mission statement should go like this. In the dark of night, the military would round up all the prisoners and have them delivered to their country of citizenship. These prisoners would be blindfolded until they are ready to be parachuted over their country. The military should be prepared for another terrorist attack, just like 911. The only difference is, this time the terrorist attack will be known ahead of time. The American soldiers would then train the terrorists country military about the impending attack. The weaponry would be poised and ready for another attack in the form of a bleep in the sky. Hopefully the chute would be defective. I believe in justice. The bible teaches us An eye for an eye. Here endeth my idea for Club Gitmo. Myron Posted online: 1/22/2009 8:03:57 AM

My Eulogy replies

FYI .. Kyle C. used to work with me at the call center. Read my previous blogs about being fired. Here is his email reply: I think mine for you would say something like... Myron Holter, master of elusive speech, passed away today at ____ years of age. His death came as an apparent murder suicide at Alorica behind which he was the mastermind and gunman. In the aftermath, he hung himself by the cord of a telephone headset under the desk of George Gillespie, who found his body three weeks later. Because there was so little left of Myron, we printed out his blogs and burned them to make up for what melted into the floor. We shall miss thee, Myron Holter, architect of the most vague answers ever given by a Sprint employee and wizard of making the customer feel as though they should hang up, try something else, and call back so they would stop speaking with you. Even with your dying act, you made the world a better place. You were my hero. hahahaha

FAMILY FEUD

FAMILY FEUD: Yesterday I also wrote my 1st blog to my grand daughter, Madeline. I received another hate filled call from her mother. The photo has been removed. Please read the BIBLE about the fruits of the spirit John & Kim. Get some spiritual heart and learn the word forgiveness. I have forgiven you for denying me the love of your child.

I know your parents do not want us to call you by that name, but you know what? I don’t care. My father-in-law Ted Corry used to call me “My” as a nickname. I didn’t mind. And I’m sure your friends in pre-school will call you by that nickname too someday. This is my 1st blog to you as posted on my public blog. I love you very much. Someday I’m hoping and praying that your parents will have a softening of the heart and allow your grandfather to have a loving relationship with you. Until that day, I’ll continue to write about you and me and post my writings to this web address. Someday when you can read and write, your mom and dad might allow you to share with you this web address. I am just thankful that I am allowed to see pictures and videos of you. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to make your grand ma Sal hap

Inauguration Day

INAUGURATION DAY: Today our 44th President will take the oath of office. Barack Obama, our 1st black President will say so help me GOD in front of millions of viewers. I’ll be viewing from the privacy of my own home. My TV will invade me visions of almost Hitler like “messiah” type adoration. Well, let me tell you my beliefs. I am not impressed. Yesterday, Mark and I got some free food at the 1st Presbyterian Church right next to the state Capitol building, 8th & whatever. We walked from his apartment at 11th & Jackson and participated in some free food. Mark left early for the “Whose dream is it” service. Jerry Farley, Washburn University’s President, gave the speech. I for one was moved by the tribute to Martin Luther King Jr. celebration. I wonder if I could get a copy somewhere of the service? I shook Mr. Farley’s hand and gave him our business card. I wonder if he ever has time, he’s blog with me? NEVER HAPPEN! Mark had to leave early, as I heard from Sal that he

City Council/Mayor's race Topeka KS

CITY COUNCIL/MAYOR RACE: I have officially decided that I will NOT run for any political office. What made my decision? Yesterday I attended a political training class at the Topeka Public Library. The flyer was titled :”Candidate School”. As usual I took notes. I’ll scan my notes and post them for all to see. It was a fun time back in 2005 running for mayor. I’ll support Bill if he decides to run again. Hopefully there will be others running to make it interesting. There are three reasons why I’ll NOT run for Topeka mayor. 1) No permission from Sally (I’m thankful for that) 2) Miserable pay 3) No fire in the belly Here endeth my decision Posted: 1/18/2009 6:26:34 AM

FINANCIAL PEACE UNIVERSITY

Image
FINANCIAL PEACE UNIVERSITY: It’s so simple, even a politician can do it! That’s my first thoughts about week one of FPU at our church. I only wish our politicians have taken Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace class. Yesterday Sally & I attended our 1st week at OSLC FPU w/ Cherish A. as our coordinator. I introduced myself as a lifetime member, the computer nerd, and Sally introduced herself as the free spirit. We listened to Dave and then went around introducing ourselves and what we’d like to get out of our 13 week class. There were approximately 20 + people in attendance. My FPU flyer and stapled business card is still applicable. Posted to my public blog at: 1/16/2009 6:07:07 AM myron@myownfaith2.com

Mayor's race

POLITICS: I’ve been asked by Tim Hrenchir, our local Topeka reporter for cjonline.com if I’m planning to run again for mayor. This email stirred some memories. You see, I ran for mayor of Topeka KS back in 2005. Bill Bunten is our current mayor, and I for one am very pleased that Mr. Bunten is our city representative, statesman, honorably serving our great city. If Mr. Bunten decides to run again, I’ll go door to door and do whatever is needed to get him re-elected. So that is ONE reason I’m NOT going to run for mayor of Topeka again. Another reason I’m NOT planning to run for mayor is my beloved wife of many years is against it. When I ran in 05, Sally was miffed. I came home from working at the Y and TOLD her I put my hat in the ring. She make me live in my under construction city barn for 3 months! I was allowed to come out for potty breaks and other such functions. Sally handcuffed me to the upstairs city barn and I was able to see the light of day maybe one hour per day.

The Christmas Sweater by Glen Beck

Image
1/12/2009 5:39:04 AM THE CHRISTMAS SWEATER I have just finished reading a book by Glen Beck called “The Christmas Sweater.” This book hit home in my own family life. You see, I have not had any meaningful communication with my #1 son, John for many years. I have written about John in previous blogs. I journalize my life by writing about my almost daily experiences. Over the last two-three years, John and I have probably seen each other maybe three – four times. I could probably count on one hand the times we have spoken to each other, either in person, email, phone or otherwise. John will not reach out to me as a son reaches out to his father. I have tried to reach out to John, but he chooses to not reach back. There is NO communication between John and his father, me. So what’s a father to do? I’m asking anyone reading this blog to reply, either email or in my blog. Thanks, myron@myownfaith2.com

1/9/2009 5:04:37 AM DOOM AND GLOOM: If I were not such an optimist, I’d be doing myself in. Our country’s finances are in the tank. The stock market is down, the folks are being foreclosed. Barack Obama, our next President, is predicting a long recession. Fear and Greed has taken over. People are worried about their jobs. The unemployment rate is going sky high. Marriage between Adam and Steve is acceptable. It’s OK to abort a nine-month-old healthy baby. Sarah Palin has been demonized just because the left wing media wanted our next president to be president. Folks are posting online videos, photos, etc. that is subject to legal action. What is our society turning into? What ever happened to working for a living? Our country wants to give everyone a bailout! WHY WORK? BUT WAIT .. I’M RETIRED! I’ve got way too much time on my hands. So I write and post things to the Internet. What’s wrong with that? Apparently my family thinks it’s wrong. I will update my hand written buc

And God, there is one more thing I wish that you could do; Hope you don't mind me asking, Please bless my computer too. Now I know that it's unusual To Bless a motherboard, But listen just a second While I explain it to you, Lord. You see, that little metal box Holds more than odds and ends; Inside those small compartments Rest so many of my friends. I know so much about them By the kindness that they give, And this little scrap of metal Takes me in to where they live. By faith is how I know them Much the same as you. We share in what life brings us And from that our friendships grew. Please take an extra minute From your duties up above, To bless those in my address book That's

STUPID (photo removed)

1/3/2009 7:32:46 AM STUPID!: Ok. I just got this from my cousin Wally, and it’s worth a reply. Here are some of the stupid things I used to do. - Creating farts to blow out a match.

AMEN

Another GREAT email from my cousin Wally. Subject: Amen!! The Doctor and the Apple It is said that at the University of Chicago Divinity School each year they have what is called "Baptist Day." On this day each one is to bring a lunch to be eaten outdoors in a grassy picnic area. Every "Baptist Day", the school would invite one of the greatest minds to lecture in the theological education center. The story is that one year they invited Dr. Paul Tillich. Dr. Tillich spoke for two and one-half hours "proving" that the resurrection of Jesus was false. He quoted scholar after scholar and book after book. He concluded that since there was no such thing as the historical resurrection, the religious tradition of the church was groundless, emotional mumbo-jumbo, because it was based on a relationship with a risen Jesus, who, in fact, never rose from the dead in any literal sense. He then asked if there were any questions. After about 30 seconds, an old, dark skinn

TOPEKA REDISTRICTING

1/3/2009 6:19:54 AM TOPEKA CITY GOVERNMENT: Dear Leaders: Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to come before you with still another idea. My idea is to redistrict our city into four districts. I have scanned the Topeka visitor Map and posted it on my blog. Those of you who have access to a computer can follow along. I have downloaded the capital building into my blog for those of you outside of this great state. My idea is this: Break up the districts into four, NW-NE-SE-SW. Instead of there being NINE council members, there would be now FOUR for making important agenda items. I’m sure there are many questions, so I’ll ask the obvious one first. What happens when there’s a 2-2 vote? The mayor will make the deciding vote. The mayor will also have a co-mayor just like our federal government, only Joe Biden is called the vice president elect. I’ll offer my public service to Mr. Bunten as his co-mayor if he so chooses. All I want to do is kiss babies and cut ribbons. That se
