LET THERE BE PEACE ON EARTH, AND LET IT BEGIN WITH ME

Ann and I didn't send Christmas cards this year. We could say it is because Hallmark just didn't have a card that says what we wanted to say, and that, partly is true. We could say we ran out of time, and that too, is partly true. But, the overbearing reason is that I was out of work for the first three months of this year and although we didn't suffer like some, there has been some belt tightening around the Leeming household (and no comments about how much I eat causing such action). There are so many of you we wanted to send cards to that the $.44 cents postage per card would surely have caused a consultation with a bankruptcy attorney.

Thus, this Forum Post. In lieu of Christmas cards I am writing this post to let each and every one of you, my Racers Reunion Family, know that Ann and I wish you the very best Christmas of your lifetime. We are an unique family of sorted individuals from around the world who share the common interest in stock car racing, and, from what I've encountered, a common belief that we can each make a difference in how the heritage of stock car racing is remembered and recognized.

The other common bond here is, for some special reason, this Racers Reunion Family knows the true meaning of Christmas and what the birth of that child means to the world. Peace on Earth is an often repeated phrase this time of year, and it is the sincere wish of most of us. I do sing that song often, "let it begin with me" but many times I don't live the words. This is a good time of year for all of us to remember that prayer and truly let it begin with each of us.

There is, of course, no peace of earth because of that serpent and that apple. But, because a Baby was born in a stable some 2,000 plus years ago, we can have the peace of knowing that our sins are forgiven and that we can truly have peace in our lives. So, my Racers Reunion Family, Merry Christmas from Ann and I to each of you, and we pray the blessings of peace to each of you. As Tiny Tim says, God Bless us everyone!!!!!

Merry Christmas

Hey .. I don't need a card, or ribbons, or even bows. Being able to spend time with y'all every night of the week is all that is important. I know I'm late in sending my wishes .. hope y'all understand that this isn't my most favorite time of the year.

I do wish each and everyone of you had a blessed Christmas and the happiest of the New Year.

Now, can we please get this week over and done with .. I'm missing y'all more than you'll ever know.

Thanks Barb! This past Tuesday night was the first one since the first week of June that I didn't get to have fun on the radio. I will be glad when we're back next week. The good thing is that the radio network, Zeus, will be even better. Hope you're thawing out and getting the snow moved.
