Shake what God gave you.

“Don’t let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.” John Wooden
Some people don’t understand why I’ve chosen to do TV news for 10 years, why I wrote a book, or why I do stand-up comedy. It’s me, what else can I say. I’m comfortable doing these things. I was born to communicate. Hear my reports, read my writing, and laugh at my stand-up, along the way I always pray I fulfill God’s will and deliver His message. Do what comes natural for you. JMD
Man’s mind
May 3, 2008
“Man’s mind stretched to a new idea never goes back to its original dimensions.”
Oliver Wendell Holmes
My plan was to go to Texas Tech University and then to Christ for the Nations Bible Institute. I used to sing and preach as a teenager. At the university I declared psychology as my major; after auditioning to read the news at KTXT radio, I changed my mind. I’ve enjoyed meeting deadlines and getting it right ever since. JMD
Kind words from a reader
May 3, 2008
I just wanted to tell you that you are an inspiration and have given me a renewed sense of hope. I’ve tried to teach my children that you never know what it is like for someone else, you don’t know their struggles, their hurts, the day to day pain of their life and yet we are so quick to mistreat others as if it is deserved. Being a sexual abuse survivor myself I know firsthand how difficult it can be to function “normally” and looking back see clearly why I “misbehaved” the way I did…if only then I could have recognized but oh what a joy it is to reflect and appreciate the experience now with peace and understanding. God is always there, always working and I think just as he used experiences and opportunity to bring you along he has used you to help me see past the occasional fog. Thank you for the inspiration.
I pray for your continued success and wish you well in all of your endeavors.
We don’t know

“We don’t know one millionth of one percent about anything”
-Thomas Edison
In my line of work I’m required to know a little about everything and a little about alot. I’ve never worried too much about not knowing enough, the simple rule is to report what you see and hear first-hand. I’ve found a new form of communication, one I like very much. Comedy is communication and stand-up comedy is only funny if it is true. It took me 14 years to finally get up on stage, I pray it doesn’t take another 14 to really free my mind. JMD
Great poem

| Why I love family genealogy | |||
 |
|||
 We are the chosenMy feelings are in each family there is one who seems called to find the ancestors To put flesh on their bones and make them live again To tell the family story and to feel that somehow they know and approve To me doing genealogy is not a cold gathering of facts but instead Breathing life into all who have gone before.We are the storytellers of the tribe. All tribes have one We have been called as it were by our genes Those who have gone before cry out to us, Tell our story So, we do In finding them, we somehow find ourselves How many graves have I stood before now and cried? I have lost count. How many times have I told the ancestors It goes beyond just documenting facts The bones here are bones of my bone and flesh of my flesh It goes to deep pride that they fought to make and keep us a Nation So, as a scribe called. I tell the story of my family [Author Unknown] |
