Happy Birthday Uncle Ballard

This is my Uncle Ballard Bailey, born July 8,1890. He was a very kind and gentle man. Hard working and fair. He believed there was good in everyone and was always willing to help. He has been gone for 36 years but I think of him almost daily. Happy 122nd Birthday!!! Thank you for taking a chance for me and helping shape my life.

Bailey-Osborne Reunion has been cancelled!!!!

Due to the recent storms and several family members are still without power and the fact that the Red Cross has the Rec Center as their office until the 18th of July, the reunion has been cancelled for July 2012. I hope this information has been given in enough time so people do not make the trip. Please spread the word to everyone you know that would normally come. If you have questions you can call me @ 304-464-4956 or message me here or on facebook.

It is never too late to ask for forgiveness.

I got a mystery letter in the mail on July 5,2012. It started out that we did not know him but he wanted to explain what he had done 27 years ago and he wanted us to forgive him. The first year we lived in our house a lot of stuff happened and you just had to wonder why would people treat other people like this. Our 2 year old daughter's pumpkin was smashed on the side walk and then Christmas came and we had put up lights everywhere to make Christmas extra special for our daughter. She loved looking at Christmas lights. Well the second night they were on and the next morning they were all gone. Had been removed, all of them! I felt so betrayed by our new neighbors, someone had to know who was doing these deeds to us, by why us? Well the letter tried to explain why three boys got together and decided to remove the lights. They hid them for awhile but then discarded them, just tossed them away. He said he has felt guilty all these years and was sorry about his part in all this, he named the other two boys involved. He wanted to pay for his crime and asked us to come up with the dollar value of our loss and he wanted to know we could forgive him for his actions. Well, what he didn't know was we had forgiven him years ago because we live for a God of justice, peace and love. Our God would want us to forgive him because He first had forgiven us of our sins.
