John,
Save your money! Go to www.20Q.net and play on your computer for free. It's a great game. I've only won about one in ten times. Ben

Great reading. Enjoyed all the series but part five was "right on". Keep telling it like it is and two thumbs up for Guy McDonald.

John, you are too valuable to the Mountain TOP ministry with the many things you bring to the table. I hope you will stay on board with us. We have others who can do the fund raising.
Enjoyed the CD.
I enjoy going to the dentist. I leave my teeth while I enjoy a cup of coffee and visit with the nurses. When the Dentist finishes, I go back and get my teeth..... Uncle Ben

Thanks, John.
I'm sure my doctor(s) will be happy to add this one to the many drugs they already have prescribed to eat up my measly social security checks.

I missed the first try but got it the second try. So, I'm not a total failure I guess.

Re: Advent calendar

Ben Neal — Wed, 30 Nov 2005 20:47:28 -0000

I remember the "Advent Calendar" but don't remember if it was "store bought" or made by "Miss Edith", my Sunday School Teacher. This was around 1940 plus or minus several years. Wish I had one to share with my grandchildren.

Re: Kaleidoscope and Summer Plus are BACK!

Ben Neal — Tue, 13 Dec 2005 22:33:38 -0000

I'm excited too!
I have already marked June 16-24 and July 16-22 on my calender. I'll be at Summer Plus and Kaleidoscope.

I have my cheerios with a sliced banana almost every morning. I loved the stories. Uncle Ben

Re: Harp update, Day 2

Ben Neal — Mon, 20 Feb 2006 22:43:38 -0000

Interesting! I played the harmonica for many years and really enjoyed it. I had to give it up when I got dentures about 20 years ago. A person wearing dentures can't play the harmonica and it isn't cool to take your teeth out to play a tune.
Now, I wouldn't have enough "lung power" to play but I remember how much I enjoyed it.
Look forward to hearing you at MTOP this summer.

Re: SP & K

John, I'll be there with my bag of tricks. Loved your explanation of the SP K programs. Hope it will generate some volunteers for the summer.

Sounds good but I'm waiting to hear you cut loose on "Turkey in The Straw."

Ben Neal — Tue, 11 Apr 2006 16:51:48 -0000

John, I don't know of anyone more deserving of this windfall that you. I'm so pleased that you are going to be able to make the trip again this year. I still look forward to seeing you at Mountain TOP in July.

Re: Containerization

Ben Neal — Mon, 22 May 2006 00:05:26 -0000

Years ago when I was playing my wife made several cases of denim and felt for my collection.
There were individual cases (bags) and then a bigger bags to carry four or five of the individual bags. All mine were Horner and my favorite was the Chromatic in the key of C that let me play sharps and flats. My favorite was "I'm looking over A Four Leaf Clover"...
I also had a double sided harmonica--C on one side and G on the other. But, the old "Marine Band" was the standby and the one most players used to learn on. I look forward to hearing you play "Turkey in the Straw" at Mountain TOP in July. .

Re: Big Don, Frances and Rick

Ben Neal — Thu, 22 Jun 2006 10:02:30 -0000

Oh, how I would have loved to have been there Wednesday Night. I'll be there for the Kaleidoscope Camp in July and hope to see many of the old friends. Peace, Uncle Ben

Re: Kaleidoscope is coming

Ben Neal — Thu, 06 Jul 2006 11:25:55 -0000

John, I just leaving to go to Wal-Mart and buy my Play-Doh. I, too, felt bad about not "leading" a workshop. Volunteered to help Lynn with puppetry but found she's not able to come. Had to turn Sarah down on "leading" the puppetry workshop since I don't have puppets, materials, know-how, etc. Same for Drama.
Finally, I'm assisting with music. I'm no musician but I can react with kids and help them learn.
I will have stories to tell and a magic show for the kids. I am really looking forward to the week.
And, I'm so glad you're going to be there.
Uncle Ben

You were all in my prayers.

Nothing wrong with "tooting your own horn" especially when it's well deserved. Congrats......

Wish I could see your play. I'm sure it will go well.

Ben Neal — Thu, 08 Feb 2007 00:23:59 -0000

John, Sorry about that. If the Memphis Airport finds it, I'll be glad to pick it up and get it to you. Have a fun visit and a safe trip home.

Re: Consumer disappointment

Ben Neal — Wed, 14 Mar 2007 18:15:06 -0000

John, Send the letter. In most cases the doctor is far removed from the billing/accounting department and is unaware of the way some people treat his clients. You'll be doing him a favor by letting him know.

Re: Doubting Thomas

Ben Neal — Sun, 15 Apr 2007 17:23:27 -0000

Great sermon, John. I actually read it twice. Wish I could have heard it in person.

Re: Male restroom etiquette

Ben Neal — Mon, 21 May 2007 13:38:21 -0000

The reason this doesn't apply to women is that they require a committee to go to the restroom.

Re: Opening

Ben Neal — Sun, 03 Jun 2007 13:42:15 -0000

Thanks for the report and the pictures. I had a conflict with the Relay for Life Celebration here and could not make the opening. Looking forward to a great summer for MTOP.

Re: Counting the minutes

Ben Neal — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 13:21:40 -0000

John, I know you are ready to go. Know that you and the group will be in my prayers. Just wish I could go with you. God speed, John Carney.

Re: So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye

Ben Neal — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 10:14:34 -0000

We'll miss you but will be glad to have John back safe and sound. Will look forward to your own blog in the near future.

Re: I am home …

Ben Neal — Sat, 14 Jul 2007 10:34:05 -0000

Sooo glad you are home. With your experiences on the return trip, maybe we didn't pray hard enough.
I'm leaving in a few minutes for MTOP. Sure wish you were going to be there for Kaleidoscope. But I'll see you at Board meeting next week.

Re: CD update

Ben Neal — Thu, 26 Jul 2007 14:49:54 -0000

Just received mine. No postage due! Thanks.

Re: Sportsmanship, defined

Ben Neal — Wed, 07 May 2008 10:38:27 -0000

John, Being very involved in youth sports, I have received this from several sources and have passed it on to several. I have to admit, I don't recall anything touching me like this did. I still have tears in my eyes when telling someone about it. Uncle Ben
