My Life.

My Life.

Let's see, where should I start. I was born in a small town in Indiana called Clinton. I really don't
recall it that much you see I was only hum about 1 second at the time. But what I can remember was being born on February 12, 1966 at 2.07 am, I guess I really put on a show with it being cold and snow out side. I imagine that my mom, by the way is Eva Harper wasn't happy at the time when I was wanting to be born, but who would be at that time in the morning, right? I guess you might say that I was a cute little baby with the curliest dark hair ever. So my nick name was Little Abe since I was born on Lincolns Birthday. Anyway that my birth. So I imagine I had a sister to. yeah one of those. By the way her name is Laurie . . As we got older we had moved to Georgetown IL. Still to young to remember. At age one we moved to a big two story white house in Danville Il. at 803 n Franklin St. Spent many good yrs in that house. Had some up and down and fights with my sister but that's life right? I can recall one weekend when my folks had went out of town and I had a party and trying to keep it from my sister was even harder.Yes at that time in my life as always everyone wanted to fit in so I tried but that was not for me ,thank God. I had went to Danville High School from 1981-1985 and was in the Marching Band for all four yrs, helped out with the Basketball team which I,earned my first letter. I met my first girlfriend in High School which her name was Lori True. We dated for 5 yrs and got married. Now let's talk about that. You see this wasn't a normal wedding and what is for me. She wanted to be outside in September and of all days it was hot. So on the day I got up and got dressed, picked up my best man at the time who was Jay Tinder. I didn't know if I was more nervous or him. As we arrived and met the pastor we talked and went over what we were going to do. It was time to get married and here I was standing up with both legs locked and all of a sudden I went down like a leaf and hit my head. At that time I did not want to go on but as a man I did, I got up, started over again and down I went again. I said to my self stay down if I was you, but my pastor looked at me and said, "Bryan, this is your pastor speaking get up and be a man." So I got up and went on with it in chairs, yes in chairs.So nothing so far is going right with me.As we left on our honeymoon we had to make a fast trip to the hospital and had to get 5 stitches over my eye. And that's where the fun part begins. You see I was trying to tell the Dr.s what had happened but they were just well laughing at me talking about being so low that was me. By this time you can imagine my wife at this time was wondering if I had a party the night before, and no I didn't, but all the way down to Kentucky she said she wanted a divorce right off the bat. I told my self maybe I should but we stayed with each other for 15yrs. Now let's see what else have I done. I have done some private security work for a long time and got to meet a lot of famous people and guard some famous people too. I guess the one famous person I had to guard was the former President Jimmy Carter over at Consceco field house in Indianapolis. Also Sandy Pattie, Payton Manning, well you get the picture.So I guess my life so far has been a good life, can't complain. Had some good teaching and good pastors over the yrs. The End.
