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

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
