Daddy Was Great

Daddy Was Great! You might say he was my stepfather! Wait! Don’t you dare call him tht! I was raised to hate the word “step”. Because he and my mother married when I was a weaning toddler I would rather call him Daddy, or in adult terms, my godfather. Because God gave him to me. Worked 35 years in the oilfield, 19 of those with Baker Hughes. Yes at times in their early marriage things between him and Mama were rocky, but I don’t care to think of tht. These were the times when Mama had a backup boyfriend named J who I was terrified of. Daddy may have been stern at times, but from the time I was 3 to the time I was 13, the man was my hero! Those times when I was sick and or in the hospital for testing, he was a rock for Mama and me. He was the Dad who stepped up to the plate and took care of us. Henry Alfred “Hank” Seibold was the hero of the family. I couldn’t see it back then but even when I disagreed with him, I’ve come to realize he was the glue

Come On Mama!

Come On Mama! One of the few people I could count on growing up was my mother. Betty Jo Seibold was in many ways my rock. When the country was in a recession in the 70’s and early 80’s, I remember Mama gathering us together to pray. “Don’t you worry none, James. God works everything out for the best.” My mother used to say. Sure, back in the 1970’s my mother went wild, but you know when you’re young that does happen. Some people bear the consequences for years. Others repent and correct quickly. I can’t totally judge my mother, because in college and afterwards I did get a little wild myself. I only had one complaint, I felt my mother enabled my brother too much. I stayed strong, but i always hated it when my mother tried to cater to him, and he would still grouse and sulk because he wasn’t getting his way when he wanted it. I guess I always resented that. I always felt my sister and I got the brunt of my sister’s bullying. I guess that’s why in college I

My Family's Christian Roots!

Growing up in West Texas Mama and my godfather “Daddy” took my family to church when occasion permitted. Ours was a Baptist family where Mama kept the Bible read. Daddy worked the oil fields in order to feed our family. I remember when I was 5, Mama took us to church where Grandma.taught Sunday school and she taught us to sing “Jesus Loves The Little Children” 2 years later the pastor taught us kids in vacation Bible school to sing “ Jesus loves me.” in fact, he used to hold me in his lap as we were singing it. I felt a special bond with that pastor.. The next time I was involved in anyway, church wise was the summer when I was nine years old and my mother put me in vacation Bible school at a Baptist Church about a block and a half from our house. I felt. like a fish out of water. I knew who Jesus was, but our family at that point was uncharged and worldly. I’m a go to church with my parents and some of the friends at times when they couldn’t make it a

Father Father Let Me Down

To say the least, this part of my life story is very painful. it describe described the very turbulent strained, but almost beautiful relationship that I had with my birth father. I was born January 20, 1972 James and Betty Jo Hendrick. Doctors told my parents the following. “ Your son has the characteristics of a mongoloid child and will not live long.” Bring on flavor and eye doctor diagnose me as legally blind. when my mother came home to my father to tell him the news, he bluntly told her that he could not handle it.. For years, at least my first 25 years of life I’ve blamed myself for the dissolution of my parents divorce when I was a baby simply because I honestly believed that my father walked away because he was blind. My maternal grandmother, grandma Sawyer told me the truth that dad suffered from severe mental illness. Some of it, based on some trauma he had, and that was part of the reason behind the divorce which he filed.. The first time I remem

Jimmy, my life story

Jesus greet you pattern round I don’t know why I’m being compelled to do this, but apparently he wants to log out my life story and how city it is motivational and can help people overcome the adversities of life maybe develop the entrepreneurial life cycle My story is rich and beautiful, but also very painful with a few gems and kernels of wisdom along the way mostly from my maternal grandparents grandma and granddad Sawyer. I grew up in the flourishing yet rough and tumble West Texas community of Odessa, Texas. It has shaped everything that I have have and help me become everything that I am. maybe someday I will compile this life story in a book but in the meantime, I think it would be beneficial to go ahead and write the story right now it is Jimmy’s life story. But I might end up calling it discourse of a roughneck

Heaven's greetings pattern Realm       Today it's obvious I want to talk to you about four to five different business models that work well with those with any degree of legal blindness.  1. Content writing and creation.  Look at me I'm legally blind and I am also a blogger.  Regardless of how much money you make or no this form of content creation can be very fulfilling and keep you on your toes.  I like to post blogs at least three to four times a week, so that people can hear fresh topics from someone like me.  2.  Podcasting:  back in 2015 I was taking some business management classes under a lady by the name of Mrs Barron.  God bless her she was the one that suggested that I become a podcaster, and for some sad reason I didn't believe I had one it took.  It took a compound leg French fracture for me to wake up and see that I could become a podcaster I'm not just any podcaster in the eyes of some of my friends a podcaster extraordinaire.  I have a fe

Educate Yourself

</bHeavens Greetings Pattern Realm, I believe there is nothing wrong about going to college. I've learned to think critically and examine angles closely with my Bachelor's degree in Political Science minor of Mass Communications. I did a stint in graduate school, but it didn't work out. Advanced degrees are a walk in quicksand, so I believe that self education is better. You don't learn useless theories and you can learn how to make a fortune. Formal education just helps you make a living, barely. Jim Rohn once said, "Formal education can help you make a living, but self education will help you make a fortune." There comes a point in when you want to build wealth and be wildly successful.. Self education brings you a good clean pattern for success, and it is good for you. In Christ, Jimmy Hendrick EYP
