INTRODUCING- The Grandparent Chronicles

I N T R O D U C I N G -  T H E  G R A N D P A R E N T  C H R O N I C L E S

Greetings dear loved ones!  We hope this New Year is starting out just right for you!


For some time now, we have been praying to know how we might be a more positive influence
in each of your lives. We continue to pray for each of you.  We also pray that we will live our lives
consistent with all we know to be true in order to be good examples for you. We want to be the type of people you can trust and count on to always be in your corner. People you can turn to in need -whom you know love you unconditionally. We also believe that the more you know about our lives and your ancestors- the better you'll be prepared to make the best choices when you face challenges, when you remember how people whom love you faced theirs.
In that spirit we are introducing - THE GRANDPARENT CHRONICLES.
Our goal is to try to help each of you live happy lives! We believe as stated in The Family- A Proclamation To The World - "that happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ."
Our ultimate goal is to enjoy eternal life with you and all our posterity.
Our hope is to send to you periodically, stories, thoughts, histories and insights which we hope you will read, discuss and ponder as a family and individually. We hope that you will find positive application from these offerings for you as you navigate your own journey through life. That you will live in a way that will qualify you to enjoy life now and eternal life as family.
We hope that those of you with little ones (there are many) will take the time to explain to your children , in ways they will understand, the thoughts from our hearts and the stories of life in ways that they too may benefit. And so we begin... The Grandparent Chronicles!
              All our love Always-  Grandpa and Grandma Wade

YOU'VE GOT FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES !

  YOU’VE GOT FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES !   Country singer Garth Brooks sings a song (written by Dewayne Blackwell and Earl Bud Lee in 1989) that was an instant hit with a cleaver tune and lyrics, he sings, “I’ve got friends in low places- where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away, and I’ll be okay.”   When I first heard that song I thought, wherever you happen to find yourself, it’s good to have friends, but wouldn’t it be better to have friends in high places? What kind of friends will you most likely find in low places? Hopefully, good ones, but most likely, not a friend with the capacity to pull you up or elevate you. In order to elevate you, wouldn’t they most likely have to be on higher ground? Friends can have a major impact on our lives- for good or bad. I’ve seen this in my own life, my children's and grandchildren’s lives as well as in the lives of countless others. I imagine that you’ve observed this impact friends can have in your own life’s exper

A GOD OF 2nd CHANCES

  A GOD OF 2 ND CHANCES & THE HONORARY CHAPLAIN TO QUEEN ELIZABETH !   He was a scruffy looking guy. My 1 st impression was that he was about to ask me for money, but no, maybe a religious zealot, he did have a large wooden cross around his neck. As our eyes made contact I was drawn to his beaming smile. I had a distinct impression that this was someone I was supposed to talk to, but I was tired, it had been a long drive and I felt justified in my feelings to avoid contact. We had just arrived at our destination in Banff, Canada in the crisp clean mountain air among the majestic Canadian Rockies for a week of exploring and relaxation; that would happen, but I sensed that there was also another purpose for my being here. As the evening progressed, I couldn’t get that man off my mind. I had experienced spiritual promptings in the past and knew that I would get no peace until I resolved to follow them. As I knelt in personal prayer that night I had a conversation with my heave

JOHN LOUIS AMONETT

                                         JOHN LOUIS AMONETT “All stories are powerful. Our stories help us make sense of our lives, give us hope that we will sustain and overcome, and help us predict a better future.” (Robyn Fivush- phd. Professor of developmental psychology at Emery University.) The story of John Louis Amonett is one such powerful story worth sharing. John was born in Pickett, Tennessee on May 16, 1862 to Reuben Hutchison Amonett and Cynthia Cross, the third born in a family of five children. John had french blood in his veins. His great, great, great grandfather, Andre Amonnet, was born in Paris France. The family religion at the time was Huguenots,( reformed protestants and followers of John Calvin.) To escape religious persecution the family soon fled to America. John no doubt was proud of his french heritage but equally proud of his Tennessee roots.   On July 21, 1821, at the age of 19, John married his sweetheart, Louverna Katherine Boring and together they w
