Paul Harvey - “A Christmas Memory”

Master storyteller Paul Harvey shares “A Christmas Memory” 10-year-old Charlie was out with his mom during his Christmas vacation. The family had earlier decided to spend some time in the countryside. Charlie was surprised to find how lovely the white snow looked, unlike the busy streets where the snow was blackened by the heavy traffic. His mom had asked him if he wanted to go for a car ride, to which Charlie readily agreed. So, the mom and son drove down the snow-laden lane. However, as they drove by, it began snowing heavily a mile down the road. Their car slid to one side of the road into the shallow snow drift. Charlie thought it was fun, while his mother smiled at him and tried to reverse the car, but it was useless. Unfortunately, the car was stuck. Thankfully, there was a house nearby. The strangers were friendly and allowed them to use the phone, and soon some people came to rescue the adventurers. Paul Harvey had the voice and the storytelling talent to enthrall and surprise the listeners. Harvey’s audience was curious till the end about who the story was all about. Finally, he revealed the names of the real people behind the adventure-filled story as Queen Elizabeth & little Charles, heir to the throne (now king). Harvey ended the story with his catchphrase, “And now you know, his favorite Christmas recollection, now that you know the rest of the story.” One of Paul Harvey's The Rest of the Story Christmas memories is about a father who calls his son each Christmas to tell him that the Christmas light in their hometown is still burning bright. The story goes like this:  Jimmy leaves Baldwin, Missouri to see what's beyond. He grows up to become Major James Robinson, a chaplain in the United States Army stationed in Arizona. Each Christmas, Jimmy's father Walter calls him with the same news: the Christmas light in Baldwin is still burning bright. Harvey's The Rest of the Story was a radio broadcast that often aired in the mid-afternoon. The broadcasts would end with a variation of the tagline, "And now you know...the rest of the story".  You can listen to Paul Harvey and The Rest of the Story on Spotify.  - AI Overview Story Text Source: MadlyOdd.com Thanks For Visiting

Twas A Week Before Christmas on Capitol Hill

The following poem was written by Kevin Baker of Shelby, NC. It was read on WBT-AM radio on 12/22/09. Twas a week before Christmas, when on Capitol Hill The democrats were working, on the ObamaCare bill Americans did not want it, the Dems did not care Backdoor deals being cut, transparency nowhere The children were nestled all snug in their beds Unaware of a future jeopardized by the feds Myself and my wife, part of the unemployed mob Were staying up late, for we didn't have a job When out in the yard there arouse such a rauckus The last noise I heard like this came from Max Baucus Away to the window I flew like a flash Faster than the government can print up new cash The moon that night, oh how strong it did shine So bright you could even read our foreclosure sign When what did I see coming near from afar A mega-green hybrid electric Volt car With fanfare a plenty, a real hype-orama I knew in a flash it must be Obama. Yes it was Barack, Oh yes this I did know For he has been on every magazine and show. On Oprah, on Dateline, on Primetime and Leno On The View, on Wipeout, four times on The Late Show From The New York Times to The Wall Street Journal His face was as familiar as the KFC Colonel He spoke not a word, his teleprompter was broke And the gift that he gave me I thought was a joke He presented no gift to bring me a thrill All that he gave me was a higher tax bill For a guy who spent trillions, I thought this was cheap And the hike in the taxes was very, very steep But that’s the way it goes, for I am middle class When government needs money, it bites us in the ….wallet He sprang to his hybrid, the gears he did wind And left not a single carbon footprint behind Then he exclaimed to me, his higher tax debtor “When I promised change, I didn't say for the better!” Poem by Kevin Baker Shelby, NC http://hancock.wbt.com/index.cfm Also see CONFESSIONS OF A CAPITOL HILL STAFFER:/ "THE WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS" / December 19, 2016 / Thanks For Visiting

TWAS A POLICE OFFICER'S CHRISTMAS

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the streets, not a person was stirring, 'cept an officer on the beat. As he quietly patrolled the town with great care, ...children and parents slept peacefully there. The officer was clad in his blues and his vest, gun on his hip, always looking his best. He'd just pulled aside for a quick bite to eat, When all of a sudden, out on the street, A bright light appeared from out of nowhere, He shielded his eyes from the brilliant glare. 'Twas an angel of the Lord at the squad's rear, He smiled and spoke, "Dear Officer, don't fear." "I've been sent by God with a message for you who faithfully serve while wearing the blue. He wants you to know He loves you all, He's pleased with the way you've answered His call. "To protect and serve others, so selfless you've been, Your bravery and kindness have known no end. Even in tragedy, when nights became long, You've helped countless strangers by being strong. "God sees your heart, the joy and the pain, He knows the profession can often bring strain. So he sent me here to let you know, That as you patrol, He goes where you go. "As you protect others, your Father protects you, His angels go with you, His Spirit does, too. No bullet too fast, no bad guy too strong, I'm sent to make sure that your life will be long. "So fear not the night, and fear not the day, fear not the threats that might come your way. I'm sent to accompany you on your beat, There's not one moment you're alone on the street." The officer sat stunned by the love of His God, He bowed his head, with a tear gave a nod. As the officer said thank you, the angel took flight, "God's got your back, carry on, and goodnight." --Author unknown TEXT GOES HERE Thanks For Visiting
