I had a friend who was a Marine. He loved God and served his country to the best of his ability. Right now his family and friends are hurting but he gave his life for a cause he believed in and a country that he loved. Trevor Roberts was the 50th Oklahoman to be killed in Iraq. He was a good friend of mine that I have known since before he was born. Unfortunately I found out the worst way possible that my friend was gone, while delivering papers this morning I saw his picture on the front page beside the words "Bomb kills city Marine." I know so many men die daily over there, but I wanted to honor a man I loved like a brother and who's life was honorable and ended too soon. Please forgive me for any rambling or not making sense, Its still hard and I just want anyone who reads this to please say a quiet prayer for his family and remember a man who deserves our respect. God bless~ here is a version of he article- OKLAHOMA CITY -- A 21-year-old Marine from Oklahoma City died in Iraq when the vehicle he was riding in hit a roadside bomb just 12 days before he was scheduled to return home, military officials said Monday. Lance Cpl. Trevor A. Roberts died Saturday while conducting combat operations in Al Anbar province, the Defense Department said. Roberts, who was assigned to Marine Forces Reserve's 2nd Battalion, 14th Marine Regiment, 4th Marine Division, was in the right rear passenger seat at 8 p.m. when the explosion occurred, said 1st Sgt. Scott Baker, a spokesman for Roberts' unit. Another person riding in the vehicle suffered a minor concussion. Baker said Roberts was one of 30 people from the unit who volunteered to go to Iraq and had been in that country for seven months. The unit has since been activated and is training at Fort Sill, preparing for a July deployment. "He was an All-American boy," Baker said. "He was brought up in a good Christian family. "He was a good Marine. He volunteered to go. He felt it was his obligation to serve God, the country and the Corps." Roberts was trained as an artillery specialist. His parents, Chuck and Twyla Roberts, had spoken to him two days before he was killed, Baker said. Roberts is also survived by a brother, who is attending college. Baker said Roberts was the first Marine from the unit killed in the war. He said Roberts was very involved in his church and was planning to participate in a church mission to China this summer. Roberts graduated from Westmoore High School in 2004 and attended Oklahoma City Community College, Oklahoma City radio station KTOK reported. He attended Eagle Heights Church in Oklahoma City.

01-06-07 I'm finially making our big announcement, we found out that I'm pregnant! I'm about 6 weeks along. We are just hoping for healthy. So much has happened I'm still reeling over it. I found out about a week ago that We are expecting, since them I have already got all the appointments and paperwork done for any expecting mom. A few days ago I started cramping andcalled the doctor. We went in and did an ultrasound and saw our baby, and its heart just beating away. Later that night I started spotting so I worried and called the doctor, they said it wasn't common but it wasn't unheard of when you do a vaginal ultrasound for spotting to occur, and that if it got worse or tissue started to come out to go straight into the ER. Well today I took the kids to Wal-mart and got their pictures taken, which you will see in my pictures. I realized that I was bleeding heavily not too long after that and went straight to the ER. I don't know too much right now other than I have been put on strict bed rest and if I am loosing the baby there is nothing that I can do about it and I just have to see. They did an exam and it didnt show my cervix open so it is unlikely that I am miscarrying. But I am supost to go back in on Monday and get released to go back to work. I will post in this same blog what happened, even though I don't know when this will be made public. 01-14-07~~ Monday we went in and found that the baby had no heartbeat. Which started a lot of tests- blood tests and exams. Thursday we got all the results in and found that I have a tubal pregnancy. We chose to have a chemical induced abortion because there is no chance of the baby surviving and if left it can be deadly for me. The babys heart had already stopped beating, so the baby was no longer alinve. This was a very hard decision for both of us and I'm still dealing with it. I got the shots and we are now monitoring it and if everything is not clear in a few weeks I go in for surgery to finish removing whats left. I know I'm having trouble explaining whats going on, so forgive me. I'm not being indifferent, I just honestly have no idea how to respond and I am still trying to accept it. I have yet to start grieving, and I know it will be bad when I let it completely sink in. God knows I wanted and already loved this child, I barely had time to get used to the idea that we were having a baby then that was taken away from us. I know I am keeping my head up and not letting my family friends and especially my daughter see me break. I love you all!!

Allah or Jesus? By Rick Mathes Last month I attended my annual training session that's required for maintaining my state prison security clearance. During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who explained each of their beliefs. I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say. The Imam gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a video. After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers. When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Imam and asked: "Please, correct me if I'm wrong but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world and, that by killing an infidel, (which is a command to all Muslims)they are assured of a place in heaven. If that's the case,can you give me the definition of an infidel?" There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation, he replied, "Non-believers!" I responded, "So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can have a place in Heaven. Is that correct?" The ____ expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of "a little boy who had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar." He sheepishly replied, "Yes". I then stated, "Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine Pope John Paul commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr. Stanley ordering all Protestants to do the same in order to guarantee them a place in Heaven!" The Imam was speechless. I continued, "I also have problem with being your 'friend' when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me! Let me ask you a question. Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to kill me in order for you to go to Heaven, or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to Heaven and He wants you to be there with me?" You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam hung his head in shame. Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the 'Diversification' training seminar were not happy with Rick's way of dealing with the Islamic Imam and exposing the truth about the Muslims' beliefs. In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. to elect the President! I think everyone in the US should be required to read this but with the liberal justice system, liberal media, and the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized. Please pass this on to all your e-mail contacts. This is a true story and the author, Rick Mathes, is a well known leader in prison ministry. Lawrence V Freeman Jr.

If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee. (Hardly seems worth it.) If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb. (Now that's more like it!) The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet. (O.M.G.!) AA pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes. (In my next life, I want to be a pig.) A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death. (Creepy.) (I'm still not over the pig.) Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories a hour (Don't try this at home,maybe at work) The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off. ("Honey, I'm home. What the....?!") The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field. (30 minutes..lucky pig! Can you imagine?) The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds. (What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?) Some lions mate over 50 times a day. (I still want to be a pig in my next life...quality over quantity) Butterflies taste with their feet. (Something I always wanted to know.) The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue. (Hmmmmmm......) Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people. (If you're ambidextrous, do you split the difference?) Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump. (okay, so that would be a good thing) A cat's urine glows under a black light. (I wonder who was paid to figure that out?) An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. (I know some people like that.) Starfish have no brains (I know some people like that too.) Polar bears are left-handed. (If they switch, they'll live a lot longer) Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure. (What about that pig??) Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread these crazy facts and send this to someone you want to bring a smile to (maybe even a chuckle)...In other words, send it to everyone.

I just read this and thought i need to do this next time I get a call, I laughed so hard so I had to share... ~~~~ The phone rang as I was sitting down to my anticipated evening meal and, as I answered, I was greeted with, "Is this Wilhiam Wagenhoss?" This didn't sound anything like my name, so I asked, "Who is calling?" The telemarketer said he was with The Rubberband-Powered Freezer Company or something like that and then I asked him if he knew Wilhiam personally and why was he was calling this number. I then said, off to the side, "Get really good pictures of the body and all the blood." I then turned back to the phone and advised the caller that he had entered a murder scene and must stay on the line because we had already traced this call and he would be receiving a summons to appear in the local courthouse to testify in this murder case. I then questioned the caller at great length as to his name, address, phone number at home, at work, who he worked for, how he knew the dead guy and could he prove where he had been about one hour before he made this call. The telemarketer was getting very concerned and his answers were given in a shaky voice. Then I proceeded to tell him that we had located his position at his work place and the police were entering the building to take him into custody. At that point, I heard the phone fall and the scurrying of his running away. My wife asked me, as I returned to the table, why I had tears streaming down my face and so help me, I couldn't tell her for about fifteen minutes. My meal was cold, but oh-so-very enjoyable.

Have you ever just sat and wondered what the point of it all is? I have sat wondered, pondered and worried over this very question more than I like to admit and more than I ever needed to… I have a good life, and a difficult one as well. But hey isn't that life anyway? I have a wonderful little girl who is the light of my life. She makes it all worthwhile, and keeps me where I need to be. She will be 4 in February and I just can't believe it. She started school this year with Big 5, and loves it. She is learning faster than I ever imagined and can't wait to learn more. She amaises me everyday with something new and bright. Reminds me daily that there is more than just working day in and out. There is time to just sit and enjoy those you love. I also have a wonderful man in my life as well, Michael. He definitely makes me smile when the last thing I want to do it just that. I can hardly stay mad at him, and he makes it no fun to fight lol… ;) Just as soon as I think I have him figured out, he surprises me with something new. Here is where it just gets mushy.. lol I love the way he holds me and kisses me like I'm the only woman on earth he would like to kiss. I like just cuddling on the couch and watching tv together. I like how just out of nowhere he'll hold my hand. The way I catch him looking at me just makes my heart stop and sigh. I don't know what I'd do without all of this. But he's part of it all for me. I have many wonderful friends as well. They definitely are all of their own… lol to be more exact on what I mean, I don't seem to have two of the same kinds of friends. Take Anna for example, my roommate. She is 22 and likes to hole herself up in her room, at one point I was lucky to see here once a day… lol but that's just Anna. She likes to go out to the clubs with me and seems to keep me out of as much trouble as she will get me into. Stephanie is just like my sister to me. She has been there for me in some pretty… Strange situations.. lol We have a tendancy to go for the same type of guys if not just the same ones. You would just have to know us to know what I mean. We have known each other since band camp…(yes I said band camp I may tell you some stories if you don't giggle too much when you ask..lol) and have been great friends since. Michael another one not my BF this one is happily married to a very nice lady. We also have been friends since band camp and yes I definitely have many stories to tell about us… Best thing to put about him is no matter what we have always stayed friends through thick and thin. We have always seemed to pick up where we left off no matter how long it had been since we had seen each other. Ryan is another band camper.. shoot I can put so many people that I'm still friends with from there… Ryan is special to me in other ways as well though. No matter what I have done in my past he has always been there and laughed with me, even when I should have been crying. As much as he could he always tried to show me the right way to do things, and I always went the other way…lol which if you know me is nothing new. Josh, well he's definitely one to have to comment on. He's my Canadian. *smiling* he definitely keeps me more in line. We were both there for each other during a really hard time in both of our lives. We met at the end of both of our divorces. Both of us not realizing how much we both really needed a friend, one who knew what we were going through. Even though he is very far away (over 2000 miles) he will always be very close to my heart. One day he will be back, I hope I'm here to see that. My family has been there more than I could have ever asked for. They supported me when anyone in their right mind should have walked away. I have a wonderful mother that no matter what I did she still loved me and prayed for me. My father who always said just don't let your mother find out, who loved me despite me letting him down repeatedly. And a little brother, that though he is taller is still younger, loves me still and keeps me in line because his opinion means so much to me. So many people in my life mean so much and I know there are many I still have not said anything about, but I will eventually… Everyone I know has touched my life in one way or another, I hope I have done the same as well. That is the whole point of it all, to be there for the people you love and love them no matter what, whether they make a little mistake or a huge one. I have made my fair share of them, all I can hope to do is be there when a friend falls to help them as they have with me.

I currently have 3 toddlers running destruction around my house. Heather my daughter is the ringleader, and tends to think up the trouble to cause. Natalie and Nathan, Mikes kids are just all too eager to go along and usually they all get caught at the same time, so sometimes its hard to see who started what. We are really lucky to have Anna living with us she is a huge help with the kids, if we just need to run any errands or even if we just need a night out she loves keeping the kids. She is also great with them. We have been getting the kids often enough to enjoy the weekends that we dont have them. I love having my daughter but i do enjoy just having time with Mike as well. Short sweet and to the point...
