This Mess






              In the beginning all things are as they are in the end.  Our story takes place outside 

of a small town named Nowata.  The story begins in a huge white house, in a huge two-story 

house which is separated by a large patio.  On one side of the patio is the bedrooms, and on the 

other side is the kitchen, dining room, and living room.   On the outside of the house was a pasture 

with cows in it. Inside of the house, however, lived three souls with warm hearts, they were: Grandpa 

Mann, Granny Mann, and Alex Mann.

               Alex Mann was the grandson of the Mann's who lived there to take care of his grandparents.  

He did his best to keep their house clean even though it was an endless chore.  Through all that 

happened the three of them walked with God.  Alex had the attributes of a saint and loved both humans 

and animals alike.

                One day shortly after breakfast, a big, fat man by the name of Stan Kooheeney came over to 

the house.  He constantly went on and on about how filthy the place looked for four hour's time.   He 

complained about the cockroaches and odor of the place, and anything else he could think of.   

             Grampa finally cocked his head to one side and said, "Maybe so, but you do not live here.  So if

 all you can do is criticize please leave."

               Granny was sitting in her rocking chair, cross legged, when she burped as she took a drink of 

her Diet Rite Cola (c).  She then said, "I've heard enough either do something about it or leave." She 

then turns to Alex and says, "Alex you will have to do the dishes my back hurts"

                 Alex did as he was told and did the dishes, but Stan kept up his complaining, so this time 

Alex turned to him and told him that if he didn't shut up he was going to knock the stuffing out of him.

As the story goes Stan just kept it up, and eventually got the stuffing beat out of him.  So they froze 

Stan with all the stuffing, and that is what they had for thanksgiving.  You see Stan turned out to be a 

turkey, and they had the whole Mann family over for Thanksgiving Dinner.  Granny Mann laughed as 

she smiled and said, "I sure am glad you slapped the stuffing out of that turkey."

Self Pleasing

                                  Once upon a time in the Other Land lived a girl who did not believe in God, nor did she believe in the faith of the Church she went to.  She was just an active participant from the  fellowship she got from the congregation.  I might add that this kind of member pleased Satan.                                     The girl's name was Alice, and she went to services only for the pure enjoyment she  she could receive from it.  For Alice was out to please Alice and no one else.  This did not please God, but as I said earlier, did please Satan!    Satan had other workers in the Church who were there to please themselves as well.  God: however, was always hard at work sending His messengers to solve this  problem.      ...

               One morning Thunder wakes up, and tells Maxine that they are going to take a vacation back  to  his homelands in the Woods in Indiana.  Maxine just says, "that is fine dear, but, you should have  checked to see if I had a tea, or any diplomatic duties first."                Thunder just hoed and hummed as he got dressed.  He then told Maxine, "anything like that  could be rearranged.  Furthermore you will have tea at the Woods."                  As they were walking to breakfast Maxine rolled her eyes.  She then addressed Thunder in a loving fashion and said, "Well dear, I am glad you have it all thought out, but where ever will we stay? You do have the twins to recall, or were they just staying here at the White House.                Thunder and his family by this time ...

                                              Charles went to a funeral in present time.  He saw there a whole cast of  characters he had not seen in a long time.  He wondered if the church psychologist would be there, and she was not.  Instead, his friend, daffy, old, retired, psychologist, Doctor Donald Dawk was  there.  Doctor Dawk talked briefly to Charles.                                   The funeral, of course, was for the relatives of the Westend's.  Old Mr. West- end had passed away peacefully in his sleep at 101 years of age.  He left behind many survivors, which included a wife named Betty.   Mister Westend had served in Germany in World War II.  The family of course was given military honors.   ...
