In my opinion

A love letter about my husband on his birthday

We would like to say THANK YOU to all the firefighters, Jason Larson & our recently adopted son, Wendell Tipton.

Thank you to the countless family, friends and neighbors who helped us move cattle.

We’d like to send a special thank you to Mark & Barb Klinger for taking our girls in.

My husband’s birthday was September 5. On that day I posted a loving tribute to him on Facebook which received a lot of loving feedback. Love begets love.

I share that musing here with you now: “Happy Birthday my dearest AngelBoy. When people ask what my husband James Simmons does, they expect a stock answer like he’s an electrician at the nuclear power plant. What I really want to say is that he is a Magic Man. He’s an electrician, yes, and a handy man. He can fix just about anything and he has more patience than five saints combined.

He’s also an artist, currently dabbling on canvas and with stained glass. He’s a poet and a writer. His flash fiction is incredible. He’s articulate, eloquent, and passionate.

He’s funny, sometimes corny, sometimes clever.

He’s also the most thoughtful person I have ever met. We go for a bike ride and I mention a slight discomfort, the next thing I know padded bike shorts arrive in the mail for me. Stuff like that happens all the time. He is always

surprising me with needs and wants, from the practical to the pretty. He has good taste and his gifts are always spot on.

He opens doors for me and always reaches for my hand when we are walking anywhere. He will kiss me in the grocery store and dance with me in the aisle of Home Depot.

He knows when to hold me and when to give me a needed nudge.

He supports me through anything and everything.

He laughs with me.

He is a wonderful cook and helps me eat healthier.

He enjoys grocery shopping.

He is superb at arranging furniture, decorating, and having an eye for what works where.

He sends the best text messages EVER. He is good natured and doesn’t

complain.

His creativity is expressed in many ways. His love is expressed in many ways. His life is expressed via many outlets and I am so grateful to be his wife. I love him, need him, want him.

He is my dream come true. It may be his birthday but I am the one who got the gift.”

Yes, I want the world to know how wonderful he is. Yes, I want him to know how much I adore and cherish him. Yes, I want YOU to know that deep love is possible for you too.

Dreams come true. Mine did.

Yours can too. Believe.

Kelly Epperson Simmons invites you to join her and her prince of a husband for a full-day immersion retreat on September 22, the fall equinox, to Awaken Your Dreamer.

This all-inclusive day includes all workshop materials, lunch and dinner, an experiential day to discover what you really want for your life, how to embrace the possibilities, and a closing fire ceremony for letting go of what has been holding you back.

would look at me with those puppy dog eyes and tell me how cute everything was and how much she would love to have one.

I guess one could say I was a bit of a softie because usually we would come home with some new beast to care for. She also loved cats and dogs, of course, and so there was never a shortage of those furry companions around the homestead throughout the years.

So we were at her place about three weeks ago having a birthday party for their little two-year-old boy. My son-in-law, who climbs trees for a living, decided to show me some tricks on the clothesline sion of a controlled substance, delivery pole. or possession with intent to deliver, muffler violations, and non-moving violations (non-specific) This was my daughter who loved every animal that she ever laid her eyes on. In fact one of our favorite daddy daughter activities starting when she was very young and continuing up through high school was to go to pet stores and see all the animals.

We would walk each aisle very slowly oooing and ahhhing over all the cute little creatures. She

As a former gymnast, I noticed that he was struggling a bit trying to do a front pullover. Well this is where my lack of good judgement kicked in. Since front pullovers were always one of my favorite stunts on the horizontal bar in high school and college, I grabbed that pipe and pulled myself right up and over ending in an upright

I must say that it started with just a feeling like that of muscle fatigue. It felt sort of like my arm feels after I’ve thrown about two hours of batting practice for my high school baseball team. This time however it slowly turned from simple muscle fatigue to an achy feeling, and a couple hours

later my arm turned to all out intense pain that hasn’t really let up much since then.

I can even take my resting pulse rate at any time just from the throbbing in my elbow and shoulder. I have to say that it’s been about three weeks and my right elbow and shoulder have been throbbing ever since that dreadful day of my ill-advised gymnastic exhibition.

Why can’t I remember that when I do these type of things there is always a huge price to pay? Why do I still think I can do any and everything that I used to be able to do without consequence?.

Proverbs 29:11 reads; A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wise man quietly holds it back. I am praying that I will stop giving full vent to my foolish spirit and learn to restrain myself from these types of foolish acts. I must remember that I am not 25 any more. Anyway, there is amazing wisdom in the scripture, now I just have to learn to listen.

Until next week, God bless.

SHARING APPRECIATION A motorcycle accident left Luke Masterson with multiple fractures in addition to internal injuries.

The longtime rider had taken all of the necessary safety precautions the morning of his accident.

“I was just a little too complacent, a little too relaxed. And it cost me.” If not for the crew of OSF Life Flight, Luke says he’s not sure he’d be alive today. “I don’t know if I would have made it without them. I’m glad they do what they do.”
