A couple of years ago I was a trucker and I just got unloaded down in Texas, and I was heading South on Highway 30 to San Antonio to pick up a reload. It was late at night and I heard my trailer tire blow. So I got my big truck on the shoulder before I left road gator all over the highway. I grabbed my phone to call for help, but I didn’t have a signal. So I tried to call out on my CB, “Breaker-Breaker, driver with flat need help, come in, come in!” No answer.
My truck radio was on an AM station and I heard a preacher talking and he said, “Up in heaven the creator would listen to, and preach.” That got my attention. He said there was an angel named Raphael that wanted to be a cowboy, after Davie Crocket went to heaven and told Raphael about Texas and the Alamo.
Then the preacher said, “Those cowboys at the Alamo really needed help,” and then he said, “people today need help, or they need to be saved.” He said he’s heard it many times, more times than he could count.
People holler out for God, or pray to God for help, and then they say nothing happens. Or they holler out for Jesus, or pray to Jesus to be saved, and then they say nothing happens.
Well the preacher says the problem is they just don’t know the truth. And the truth is, if you need help pray to Yahweh, this is the creator’s name. If you want to be saved, holler out or, pray to Yeshua that’s the savior’s name.
I thought for a minute and said to myself, “What do I have to lose.” So I hollered out, “Hey Yahweh, I’m a trucker and my trailer has a flat, I need help!” About two minutes go by, and then I hear this loud air-horn go off right behind me. It scared the beans out of me!
I looked into my rearview mirror and there’s a tow-truck behind me. And I got out of my big rig and started walking to the tow-truck. A good ole boy mechanic jumped out of the tow-truck and says, “Hey driver my name is Raphael, do you need some help?” I said, “Sure, I got a flat on my trailer.” He said, “I can have it fixed in thirty minutes.” Then I said, “How much will it cost?” and he said, “Tonight is free.” Thirty minutes later it was fixed and I was on my way.
Now anytime I’m in Texas driving around San Antonio, I put my radio on that AM station, the one they listen to up in Heaven.
“Just have to share what a good day looks like… when you see a “Pretty Baby”… smiling with LOVE…YOU just forget your cares and worries… and start smiling…too!”
God was missing for six days. Eventually, Michael, the archangel, found him, resting on the seventh day.
He inquired, “Where have you been?”
God smiled deeply and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, “Look, Michael. Look what I’ve made.”
Archangel Michael looked puzzled, and said, “What is it?”
“It’s a planet,” replied God, and I’ve put life on it. I’m going to call it Earth and it’s going to be a place to test Balance.”
“Balance?” inquired Michael, “I’m still confused.”
God explained, pointing to different parts of Earth. “For example, northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth, while southern Europe is going to be poor. Over here I’ve placed a continent of white people, and over there is a continent of black people. Balance in all things.”
God continued pointing to different countries. “This one will be extremely hot, while this one will be very cold and covered in ice.”
The Archangel , impressed by God’s work, then pointed to a land area and said, “What’s that one?”
“That’s TEXAS, the most glorious place on earth. There are beautiful hills, rivers and streams, lakes, forests, and plains. The people from TEXAS are going to be handsome, modest, intelligent, and humorous, and they are going to travel the world. They will be extremely sociable, hardworking, high achieving, carriers of peace, and producers of good things.”
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration, but then asked, “But what about balance, God? You said there would be balance.”
God smiled, “I will create Washington, D.C. …Wait till you see the idiots I put there .”
A man in Topeka , Kansas decided to write a book about churches around the country. He started by flying to San Francisco and started working east from there.
Going to a very large church, he began taking photographs and making notes.
He spotted a golden telephone on the vestibule wall and was intrigued with a sign, which read “Calls: $10,000 a minute.”
Seeking out the pastor he asked about the phone and the sign. The pastor answered that this golden phone is, in fact, a direct line to heaven and if he pays the price he can talk directly to GOD.
The man thanked the pastor and continued on his way. As he continued to visit churches in Seattle , Phoenix , Salt Lake City , Denver , Oklahoma City, and around the United States , he found more phones, with the same sign, and the same answer from each pastor.
Finally, he arrived in Texas , upon entering a church in Dallas , Texas , behold – he saw the usual golden telephone. But THIS time, the sign read “Calls: 35 cents.”
Fascinated, he asked to talk to the pastor, “Reverend, I have been in cities all across the country and in each church I have found this golden telephone and have been told it is a direct line to Heaven and that I could talk to GOD, but in the other churches the cost was $10,000 a minute. Your sign reads only 35 cents a call.
Why?”
I love this part…..We love Texas …………
The pastor, smiling benignly, replied, “Son, you’re in Texas now … You’re in God’s Country, It’s a local call.”

This is one of my ‘favorite PHOTOS’ of our little “JAIME” as she was never the type to start to cry, just when it was TIME to be PHOTOGRAPH.
“Jaime” will show the camera her very best smiles, with each and every PHOTO that is taken, as each is “PICTURE PERFECT” if… I do say so, myself!
This is a bigger and more “SUN-TAN” “JAIME” showing us exactly, what she can do, when ready to get into that big “OCEAN BLUE” while, on a FAMILY trip to Fort Lauderdale, Florida!
And, this next PHOTO, well… what more, can I say, “It is most BEAUTIFUL” – If only, I could have had such a glamorous “PHOTO” of myself, way back and when, but – I just never received those qualities for “IT” and all the others, like me, “OH well” we can only wish, a lot…such is LIFE!
“I’m still wishing, but TIME is running out!”
“For those beautiful and wonderful “GIFTS” “my Grand-children” that, I have received, from our ALMIGHTY CREATOR, I have to give THANKS, since these “GIFTS” are the kinds of “GIFTS” that, there is nothing, that I can do, nor could I have ever done to receive, but only, by that extra special “GRACE of YAHWEH” for which, I will be eternally grateful, and that is going to be, forever and evermore!’
“Happy Birthday, to JAIME” again, with “WISHES” for many more, “HAPPY BIRTHDAYS” and prayers asking that the “ALMIGHTY” continue to bless you, even more, than He has already blessed me! AMEN DV.
Such a ray of sunshine 
My heart is overflowing 
Happy 4 months Lil’ Angel
