This is my son Layno standing in a mile-long line in Dallas right NOW, waiting to sing for "The Voice." I don't ask you to pray with me for him to win, but I do ask that you help me pray that he does his best and that he stays safe. Yeah, he's big, but he's Daddy's baby boy, and I really worry about him...maybe because he has no fear of anything or anybody....he just loves all. Take care, My Son!
Thank you...I should have included that...I did think of it and mention it in my prayers.
Both sons came with me and Jerry when we were there a in 2009, I believe. None of us went this year. Wanted to, but getting older, broker, and more stay-at-home.
I know all about those two ladies, and the thing I love most about them is that neither has ever deemed it her duty to point out my faults or preach to me or tell me what I can or can't do here or anywhere else.
As to Layno, he has some shirts that the very sight of would knot up the BVDs you're wearing AND all the ones in your underwear drawer AND give you a BAD case of the Everlasting Lower Slobbovian Apoplexy.
HAR! HAR! HAR!
(Wanna picture of that? LOL LOL LOL, etc.)
By the way, all...Layno didn't make it this time, he says, and is on his way back home to New Mexico...but he's already planning to give it another try next year. I figure anybody who has the guts to stand in a line for six hours to sing one verse of "The Lord's Prayer" deserves LOTS of encouragement.
Thank you all for your prayers and good wishes and encouragement.
You got it, Jim. I never heard of it either, before Layno entered. He didn't make the cut this year, but he's back home in New Mexico now, making plans for another try next year. I wouldn't stand out in 100+ heat for five hours for ANYthing.
