<p>Twas the night of our Savior when all through our house, Not a person was praying, not me or my spouse.&nbsp; Our Scriptures were lain on the shelf without care, Not thinking that our Savior soon would be there. The Children were dressing to crawl into bed, not once ever kneeling or bowing a head;</p><p>And Mom in her rocker, with babe on her lap, was watching the late show, while I took a nap.&nbsp; When out of the East there arose such a clatter, I sprang to my feet to see what was the matter.&nbsp; Away to the window I flew like a flash, tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.&nbsp; When what to my wondering eyes should apppear, but Angels proclaming:"Our Savior is Here." With a light like the Sun sending forth a bright ray, I knew in a moment: "this must be the day."&nbsp;</p><p>In the Book of Life which he held in His hand was written the name of every saved Women and Man.&nbsp; He spoke not a word as He searched for my name, then He said; " It's not here, and my head hung in shame. The people whose names had been written with love, He gathered to take to His Father above.</p><p>With those who were ready, He rose without sound, while all the rest of us were left standing around. I feel to my knees but by then it was too late. I had waited too long and thus, sealed my fate.&nbsp; I stood and I cried as the rose out of sight, "Oh, if I had only been ready Tonight."</p><p>In the words of this poem, the meaning is Clear: The coming of Jesus is drawing too near.</p><p>There is only One life and when comes the Last call, we will find that the scriptures are "True after All"</p>

<p>On this one pretty straight forward,&nbsp;&nbsp; I am a Bus Driver in the greater Seattle, Wa. area, and after have been here for some time and watching their driving, well.....It just came out as I explain, that and also with Tecnology and cell phones on the road, don't get me wrong I have one too, but most people can't drive safely and talk on the phone, I see it all day long, so that came into play, and thinking how thoughtful we used to be and we are not as much these days, people not remembring names of other people, and oh yes,&nbsp; how we can have a relationship with someone unknown, ( the internet)&nbsp; I was a little "pissed and disgusted with what I was seeing and experiencing, obviously !&nbsp;&nbsp; ....thanks for stopping by,,,, Don't be a Self-Centered Man or/ Women !&nbsp; &nbsp; Gary</p>

<p>After reading over the blogs, I see how much it has effected me with Brian, and I thought, you know, it is time to move on.&nbsp; Brian would definetly want that, so I am going to , I guess I never made the conscience decision to do so,&nbsp; I can hear him singing a Beatle song along with me, " The Long and Winding Road" or maybe "Here, There &amp; Everywhere" or maybe " Yesterday" he loved em too ! thanks&nbsp; and Time To Move On !&nbsp; Gary</p>

<p>I want to Thank All of You who have replied on this, I didn't really mean to draw attention when I wrote the blog, but It has, we are all affected and we all will be when this happens in our lives, this time it was my turn and&nbsp; I am very thankful for your heart felt comments !&nbsp; I feel like I have been in a "trance" a "comma" for some time, I could feel, but not like I usually do, time to move on and start feeling again.....thanks....Gary</p>

<p>&nbsp; Its a fun little diddy !&nbsp; I felt Beatles in that one , also with Not Tomorrow, yes I am very much influenced by what the Beatles did, there are many others too, but that and the Oldies was the start of it !&nbsp;&nbsp; Great Singers back then, a lot of them!</p>

Thank You came about in 03-04 going through the loss of Brian my brother and I was somehow able to still take a look at my life with my wife Carolyn and have a profound feeling to say " Thank You to The Lord" for all that I had and did have for so many years, even though Brian had left us in May of 03.&nbsp; I could not hold him responsible for what had happened, I wouldn't allow myself to do that, I am glad I didn't do that ! So as the lyrics say, I was thankful for those things that ment the most to me and still do, and how far I had come, form the Streets of NY to the Hills of Ca. to Utah and now to Washington,&nbsp; Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I hope All of You will be taken care of and Blessed as we start a New Year 09,,,,Wow....starting to get there now some of us......:)&nbsp; Gary

Not Tomorrow is written about my Brother Brian, who we lost from colon cancer after fighting for 3 years,&nbsp; I have never felt like this song did any justice, nor was it able to tell how much I loved him in this song, Being the Oldest of 6, Brian was # 4 , well I watched them all and took care of them all and something&nbsp; was wrong when he left,&nbsp; It hit me very hard, Dr. told him It was just hemroides go on home, 4 different times until Brian said, come on, something is wrong here....and ....It was, next Dr. told him "you have full blown colon cancer" so.....Brian starts the fight of his life at 39 yrs.old,,,,he almost beat it, but the Lord wanted him Home !&nbsp; As for all of you who may read this, Please, get yourselves checked, this is one of the Treatable Cancers if there is early "detection" !&nbsp;&nbsp; The process is only 30 minutes, and you won';t know until its over, really, not bad at all, its just the thought of someone probing around there that I think gets most of us !&nbsp; I almost dropped the song becasue I had such a hard time keeping the tempo or beat somewhat workable, it only came together that Day in Nov., of 06 at the house with a Great Snow falling in the background,,,,,I give a lot of credit to those guys, Mike Allen, sound engineer, Jay Ackerman -Bass, Shaun Boomer - Drums and Jeff Lund Keys for making that happen for me, don't think it would have came about with out them, Thanks for stopping by, Love to All !&nbsp; Now......go get checked !&nbsp;

<p>Thinking of Life and pondering as I Walk Through Time, Hope you enjoy !</p>
