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...

MOM’S 1ST S.S. CHECK 10/16/2009 7:50:35 AM Hi everyone .. There was joy in our household. Just this week C.C opened a letter & she let out a squeal. Oh, she hollered & cut up something terrible & danced a little jig. She got her first social security check & it looked pretty big.

Has already made appointments to fix her hair Blooming out already looking quite fair. I’ll be able to live with her I don’t know quite how I’ll take the back seat & sit very low .. ha Dec 1975 From Grampa Adolph

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

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

Topeka 912 Project

THE TOPEKA 912 PROJECT 10/10/2009 5:36:01 AM The official website that I’m a member of is at: http://topeka912project.ning.com/ I attended the event last night. My cap was even returned. Thanks !! A photo of the brochure committee was downloaded also.. We’re all patriots in my book. I noticed a bunch of us citizens against illegal immigration folks there also. It’s time to get the word out folks. Our FREEDOMS are slowly being eroding away. I recommend you join good patriotic web addresses. Stay away from the negative folks. Today Sally & I are heading to Bonner Springs KS for a little fun & frivolity in honor of our 40th anniversity. myron@myownfaith2.com (my one of many email addresses)

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. BLAME BUSH: -cavities – (I just had a dentist appointment yesterda...

BLAME BUSH: 10/8/2009 6:20:34 AM And a Good Morning to everyone reading this. I just finished watching FOX TV with Steve Doocey interviewing Jeb Bush, George Bush’s brother. I am going to title this blog “BLAME BUSH” for everything wrong in my life. I am blaming Bush for the following “issues” in my life: - the retaining wall in our backyard collapsed. - Our pastor left after two short years at our church - My son and his lovely wife will not allow me to see my grandchild - My headaches/dizziness continues - My diabetes , type 2, is still there - Our taxes are too high - We have the most liberal administration in the history of our country. - Our fridge runs 24/7 - Our dog died - Our house is a mess - The Obama czars are crooks - The Topeka city council voted to ban smoking - Our reliv business is going nowhere - Jesus died on the cross for our sins - Hurricane Katrina in 2005 - Our milk turns sour if we don’t drink it before expiration date - My blood sugar is high - My blood press...

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)
