John's Story
Life
TO ALL OF YOU WHO I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH, I WENT THROUGH A BAD DIVORCE WITH SOMEONE FROM OUR TIME, I HAD TWO BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN THAT IS THE BEST THING, ONE DAUGHTER AND ONE SON, MARRIED AGAIN IN 1987 AND WAS MARRIED FOR ALMOST 20 YEARS AND MY WIFE KATHY PASSED AWAY THIS PAST JULY 2006. KATHY AND I WERE BLESSED TO HAVE 5 GRAND KIDS THAT WERE THE APPLES OF OUR EYES. SINCE KATHY'S PASSING I HAVE TRIED TO GET BACK INTO HORSES, I LOVE RAISING THEM AND SHOWING AND RIDING THEM. I LOVE TO TRAVEL AND LOVE TO SEE THE UNITED STATES THAT I HAVE NEVER SEEN. I DID HAVE HARLEY'S BUT SOLD THEM AFTER KATHY PASSED AWAY. I HAVE JUST BEEN RUNNING THE FARM, RUNNING AND DEALING IN HORSES, AND BEING THE PAPAW TO MY GRANDKIDS THAT I LOVE SO MUCH. I AM A CHARTER MEMBER OF CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH IN DRAFFENVILLE, KY., I KNOW THIS IS A BIG CHANGE...Expand for more
FROM THE ONES WHO RAN AROUND WITH US IN HIGH SCHOOL, ALL I WANTED WAS TO BE A DRUNK, DOPE HEAD, JUNKIE, OR WHATEVER ROLLED UP. I THINK THAT YOU WOULD SAY THAT AFETR SOME BAD THINGS HAPPENING IN MY LIFE, I FINALLY GAVE MY LIFE TO THE LORD. IN A BAR ROOM SHOOT OUT IN 1982, BEST FRIEND SHOT IN HEAD, NOT BY ME, BROKE MY NECK IN 1989, I WAS NEVER SUPPOSE TO WALK AGAIN, BUT AFTER THE SURGERY I WAS UP WALKING, THEN MY DAD PASSED AWAY, AND HE WAS THE ONE MAN I WORSHIPPED, THEN MY MOM PASSED AWAY IN FEB. 06 AND THEN MY WIFE IN JULY 06. NEEDLESS TO SAY I HAVE HAD MY SHARE OF BAD LUCK BROUGHT ALL ON BY MYSELF, BUT I HAVE LEARNED A HARD LESSON FROM ALL OF IT. THERE IS NEVER A DAY PROMISED TO YOU, YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOUR LAST DAY IS HERE, SO I LIVE EVERYDAY AS BEST AS I CAN AND HOPE I BRING HONOR AND HAPPINESS TO MY FAMILY AND THE LORD.
