Good news and Bad news!

I have good news and bad news.
Good news is ...my pneumonia is gone.
The bad news is... have a sinus infection and bronchitis.
Life just keeps happening. I am sure tomorrow will be better!
Good night dear friends!

No news but good news!

  As I mentioned Jeff and I are at a family reunion. Last night we stayed at a beautiful home up in the mountains, it was wonderful but we had no inter-net access for me to write my blog, and that is why yesterday you didn't hear from me at all. Not that I think the whole world waits by their computers ...to see what Lynn Woodard has to say, each day. But I myself miss sharing some of my thoughts and life with you, and I need the motivational thoughts probably more than any of you do. So I was sorry that I couldn't write last night.
   Well, it is late and I need to get to bed. We are visiting more family tomorrow. Some of the family had to leave tonight, it was hard to say good-bye. We all really had a great time and we feel blessed we could come and spend this time together.
   Another reason that I felt bad for not being able to write last night is because I have some REALLY GOOD NEWS TO SHARE WITH YOU!!! Jeff and I are going to be grandparents again!!! Our son Brad and his wife Krystal are expecting and we just couldn't be more excited! I am telling you that these grand babies...are the best!!!
   So even though I can't write much, I could hardly wait to share my GOOD NEWS with you. Good night dear friends and thank you for always being there!!!

Good news and Bad news

Well the Good news is......................this week is finally over!

The Bad news is................. Jeff did get laid off from his job! ( but we will be fine)

So with that (non life threatening) information, I will go to bed and leave you with this neat story about... how our lives and the decisions we make, can effect those around us for good or bad. I want to thank each of you for the good influence you have been in our lives. It has made such a wonderful difference, thank you again for that!

Growing Good Corn

There was a Nebraska farmer who grew award-winning corn. Each year he entered his corn in the state fair where it won a blue ribbon...
One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something interesting about how he grew it. The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbors.
"How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbors when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year?" the reporter asked.
"Why sir," said the farmer, "didn't you know? The wind picks up pollen from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbors grow inferior corn, cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn. If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors grow good corn."
He is very much aware of the connectedness of life. His corn cannot improve unless his neighbor's corn also improves.
So it is in other dimensions. Those who choose to be at peace must help their neighbors to be at peace. Those who choose to live well must help others to live well, for the value of a life is measured by the lives it touches. And those who choose to be happy must help others to find happiness for the welfare of each is bound up with the welfare of all.
The lesson for each of us is this: if we are to grow good corn, we must help our neighbors grow good corn.
