THIRTEEN PLAYOFFS IN A ROW

The Monster Under the Refrigerator

Beware of what lies under the fridge.

Lost Child

I lost my child today. I wasn't at Target like the last time(another story, another time). I wasn't at Disneyland the "Happiest Place on Earth", but also a magnet for lost kids. No, none of those places. I was at home when I lost my child in the neighbors front lawn. I think he is going for the "Tallest Grass on the Street" award at the next block party.

So young, is there Time Left?

The start of school could not come fast enough some years. This year it was to soon. Our oldest daughter a senior in high school, next one in seventh grade, oldest son in fourth grade, youngest daughter started kindergarten and Ice Man still at home. Where has the time gone? How has this happened so fast? One day we are taking them home from the hospital, you walk through the door and they are all grown up. How much time have i wasted the lasted eighteen years? What have i not told them, what have i not shown them? Have i been a good enough dad, have i been too mean? Have i punished out of love and not anger. Have i been a dad who will listen or will send them away? Will they want to come to me for help or will they be too scared of what i might say. Lord Jesus help me be a better father to the gifts you have given me. Help me be loving and compassionate. Caring and fair. Strong yet gentle. They are so young.

Cabins, Grandpas & Dads

This is were my brothers and i spent a lot of our summers growing up(at least until i was 14). We would go there with Grandpa and Grandma Loper. It was there pride and joy, besides us boys. My dad had three boys just like his Dad so my brothers were always called the wrong names. I was always Jimmy just like Dad, Tim was David and Rich was Tom(my Dad's brothers). It was hilarious. Grandpa made fires in the morning and flapjacks for breakfast or waffles in the old waffle iron. If we weren't outside playing we could play games with Grandpa (Chicken Tracks or Triominos were his favorite). They also had a Lite Bright and an Noah's Ark play set. It was Good Times. My Grandpa Jim was the best grandpa in the whole world and now my Dad is the "great" grandpa to my kids. I have some big shoes to fill.













This is my kids on the old deck where we would have the big family lunches.

Kiss in All Shapes and Sizes

There is a little Gene in everyone!!

Anything for a Buck

Hey, Jim Loper here,

Have you had your Air-conditioner serviced yet this year? It’s not too late. Do you have a project that needs done; you just don’t feel like starting it or finishing it? Do you need help with the maintenance and service for your home or business? I have “The Right Guy” for you. I am currently looking for additional contracts and one time work to round out the remainder of 07 and to get a jump on the 08 season.

If you haven’t heard my program ran out of funding and I was laid off from Richard Heath and Associates as of 8/31/07. I should be brought back for a new program as a project coordinator within the next month, until then I’m looking to boast up my personal business to offset the lost income and get us through this trying time. The lord has blessed my family through many trials and praises this last year and I’m positive this will be no different. I continue to thank him through our abundance and hardships.

So do not wait or hesitate any longer, now is a great time to get those things done. I’m a certified Heating, Ventilation, and Air–Conditioning technician and have been trained in electrical, plumbing and janitorial. You can reach me at the following:

New Something in Size 10

Two more days until i am unemployed, unless i get the governors reprieve. It sounds a little depressing and scary, and I'm scared to death. Never the less i am looking at it like shoe shopping. Sometimes you get a great deal. Sometimes you get something just right for you, a perfect fit. But sometimes you just need to cover your feet. With my outside work i don't have to find the "perfect fit" in two days, but that would be great if it worked out. We keep praying and so do my parents and grandma and her prayer chain. What happens, happens.

Rough neighborhood thank goodness its my neighbors van.

What now?

There always seems to be a "what now?". My wife is hospitalized, what now? My brother hurt his knee, what now? We are not getting the house, what now? I'm sick, what now? My mother in law is sick and throwing up, what now? We are getting the house, what now? All five kids have fevers during a seven day period, what now? My sister in law is in an accident, what now? My sister in law has to have surgery, what now? And the kicker for me I'm losing my job on Fri, what now? Happy birthday to me, thirty seven years of what now.


Todays funny picture: i call it "girls bike"

What the hell i'm i doing?

I don't know why i started this. I don't have deep interesting thoughts. I can be as shallow as spit on the sidewalk. i will try to continue, to carry on, to go forth, to carry my burden, to try to be interesting. I'm stuck.

No Words

What do you say to a friend who just lost his wife. She was younger than me I'm pretty sure. Thank you Jesus for my family and our heath(as shaky as it sometimes is). I don't know if I can get used to typing out my thoughts, my wife says I'm to lazy.

No patience to blog

I have told my self i could never be a writer because I don't like writing or typing or thinking about writing or typing. I guess I just wanted to prove my self wrong.
