T is for … ah yaw… you know it one of them. There was one of them over there. Everybody got a couple of them.  Why is it always one of them?  Do you really need all of them? Well I guess you had enough of them, but there is always room for one more of them. There a bunch of them under the hood of your car and in the Trunk, and on the floor, in the backseat, Just where do, you put all them. Well it’s just one of them.  Now I was told by someone with great authority that I fix them. So I must know a lot about them. Here it is (Things). There are thing-n-bobs and thing-a –ma-jigs, Sue’s things, Tom’s thing, good thing, and bad things. There are worthless things, strong things, something’s, and the wrong thing. There are an awful lot of things. Things go bump in the night; I guess there is the thing. There are said things, and sad things. I guess I will pack up my things and move along, it’s just of one of throws thing.  Take care of things. See you  thank you and my thing God Bless.

S is for Savior. 

Today is Good Friday.  Just what does it mean?  I see nothing good about putting an innocence man to death.  I have study this story most all my life. The man Jesus, was he god or messenger from god? His life story is one of a good man. Who love all he met, one who taught us to love our neighbor as our selves. Out of all the men of history he is the only one who did not try to rule the world. He showed us how to live. He gave us the freedom to believe in what he taught. He was found innocence but the public demanded his execution.

 In the past six months we have seen tens of thousands of innocence people die, executed by the hand of nature. Could we have stopped it? We ask god why, how could he let this happen. Peter his best friend and follower denied he knew him. If you were there in the crowd would have called for Barabbas or Jesus.  Could you have said I will take his place, just let him live in peace. I hope I would have. No one came forward to take his place not even his mother. How could we let this happen? Would you have cried for Jesus?  His blood is on all of our hands. The other day a question came up as to who could say a prayer. Do you have to be a, christen to say the Lord’s Prayer. Do you have to be a Jew to read the Curran? Do you have be a Hindu to recite a mantra? Do you have to be a catholic to say a rosary? Do you have to be a Muslim to pray? The answer to all these questions is; it is your choice.  I don’t think that God gives a hoot as to what you call yourself.

 He just loves us in spite of what we have done to his son. His forgiveness is there, you just have to ask for it.

I apologize to anyone who has been offended by this post. I will pray for you.

Thank you and God Bless all

R is for Rocks, lots of rocks. I don’t know of a person that has not played with rocks. Do you have fun collecting lots of pretty rocks? If one becomes inaner with rocks you become a Rock hound.  Well I have to say I am a rock hound.  I get out my rock hammer, gold pan, shovel, pick. Load the truck and head for the hills or desert. I know where to find obsidian, agates, flint, jasper, jade, garnets, geodes, topaz, turquoise, opals and leaver-rite.  I like skipping rock too. You find a good flat rock then giver a fling and watch it jump across the water. I have a pet rock. His name is blue. When I was a youngster I would go with my dad and hunt for rock. I would find one and would ask my dad what kind of rock it was that I found. He would say “it a piece of leaver-rite” then he would explain “its leaver it right were you found it.”  Here is some that we did not leave.

Q stands for Quality. What is Quality? By what standard do you judge Quality? Do you have a Quality blog?

 Over the past 50 years Quality has been a major part of my work. Assessing parts for man space flight, I performed QA testing on many parts of the space shuttle, and the air bag in your car. I worked for companies that are Malcolm Baldrige award winners.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award recognizes U.S. organizations in the business, health care, education, and nonprofit sectors for performance excellence. The Baldrige Award is the only formal recognition of the performance excellence of both public and private U.S. organizations given by the President of the United States. It is administered by the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program, which is based at and managed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce. Up to 18 awards may be given annually across six eligibility categories—manufacturing, service, small business, education, health care, and nonprofit. As of 2010, 91 organizations had received the award.

 I am creating a quality blog award. I have visited a lot of blog and there are some that stand out as good Quality. Here is the test criteria that I look for.

5.      Comparison how does it compare to other blog of the same genre.

b.      Would I bookmark it or return on a regular bases

I will award a star for each of the main criterion. If you would like to post a blog to be consider please do. If you think I should change or add a criterion to the list please let me know. All blog will receive one point for each main criterion, total possible is 15, three from each sub criterion   I will be placing a blog roll of the awardees here on my blog.  If someone can make a button or badge for this award please let me know, I will work with you. In time I will set up a blog page that will list the Quality blogs with write-ups on each blog. Your comments and suggestion are wanted.

Thank you and god bless.
