My daddy is a smart man. He reads the Bible every day. He mite not have the money the bankers and insurance mans dos, but he is happy with his life. I like some of the thangs he says. He says we cannot live on the crops we raised last year. You got to plant news ones this year if your want to eat fresh food. He says even the trees let go of their leaves in the winter. Them old leaves falls to the ground, dry up and get all crinkley. And if you steps on them they crumple up and break into. He says it dont make no nevermind how many games or titles you won in the past, you got to win in this year if want to be the best NOW. It dont matter how many points you score in the past, only have many you scores tonight. It dont matter how good our running back has been last year on so far this year, only how good he runs tonight. He says when you go out and buy a jacket that brag about the wins some kids had in the past, you only spending money, you aint helping any kids win this year. He says the sun dont shine on the same part of the dog all the time, just ask them folk from Rockingham. He says upsets happens when you build your present on the sands of the past. So, new bern cannot win tonight based on how many titles they has won in the past and Scotland cannot win tonight based on how good everybody thanks Zamire be. What the kids on the field dos tonight counts, but it only counts fer tonight. If you win tonight and lose next week, what good is winning tonight. Like I said, my daddy is a smart man. I like football season cause we always goes somewheres and gets us some good food before the gamws. Tonight, I think we is going to Mom's Fish and Fry Store over in Maxton and gets us some fried spots. I likes them. They is my favorite fish.
