A Big Merry Christmas To All Of You!

Merry Christmas to everyone all over the world. This is a great day in our American culture. I have so many memories of the wonders of Christmas. I remember the fantastic early mornings in our Southwest Georgia house when I was a small boy enjoying the redolent smells of my mama's cooking. The family times were marvelous when we visited with all our people. Especially tremendous were the Christmas visits to my grandmothers. I loved the times with my two truly wonderful sons. They were both so kind and I loved their strong sense of creativity! Enjoy the beauty of this happy and joyful Christmas day. Show your love and happiness to everyone. It is joyful to be a Georgian and an American and to know that I am a part of this dynamic meaningful thing that is our American culture! Again.....Merry Christmas Everyone!

My oldest son is my pride and joy!

My oldest son is a person I have the utmost pride in. He has always had a wonderful work ethic. Ever since he was eleven years old he has been working so hard, doing all kinds of jobs. It makes a Georgia man proud to see his son doing a great job of learning how to be a man. The great thing is the way that my oldest son has the ability to get along beautifully with other people. I remember when he was seven, I saw a teacher of his in a grocery store and she told me my son Ernie was such a wonderful student and she said many marvelous things. That made me swell up with pride as a father. Also later on at so many sporting events (especially soccer and swimming) I saw him put so much fantastic effort into what he was doing. He became a fine student in all his school work and also when he entered the business world he developed a tremendously articulate way of handling all things which I found absolutely great. Also now he and his wife have two marvelous daughters who are so delighted with the huge religious and cultural event that is Christmas. Indeed this represents a truly great time of the year and I give thanks with all my heart and soul for the powerfully great man who is my oldest son.
