Kenneth Walden – It's with very mixed emotions that I learned of the passing into your next life. About a year ago, I noticed Kenneth was slowing down. It was enough that I sent a note to his lovely daughter, Shannon. (She really loved her father, had moved to Alaska, and I wasn't sure … – Ken would seldom complain about himself to his kids.) Ken was all about serving his family. Ken was more about being an example of love.

I wish we all had the time to stay in touch with all our friends, acquaintences & family as we should. Truth is, in this age of too much coming too fast, we can at best prioritize, and too often only react to circumstance that surrounds us.

I first met Mr Ken , as a late teenager/early 20's, when I was shoeing & trimming his horses. (Seems a lifetime ago.) Life happened. Then one evening, Shannon, his daughter, came into my store for a 4 yr old shirt. I was bent under a counter, but heard the question. Still under/behind, I asked, “Do you need a shirt for a 4 year old child, or a shirt I've had in the store for 4 years? I have both.”
She laughed, I stood up and recognized her. Been years since I'd last seen her. Paint on her face, clothes, etc. She had just finished Lander as an art major, specializing in sculpture. She was proudly painting some rooms for Ken & Dani, his wife.

Shannon and I began dating. Ken immediately became a friend. Loved his kind laughter. Loved his dedication to all his family. Loved his hobbies of old trucks, metalwork, spending time with his “grands”. I don't think we ever had a time together that he didn't smile, laugh, enjoy life.

Whether sharing meals, river tubing, recalling past stuff, or adventuring into future dreams, Ken was one of my all time favorite people.

Whenever people he knew were having “relational or personal” issues, he would listen with empathy, often shake his head, and without crazy judgement, then voice his opinion: usually wise. He could see the “good” in almost everyone. He held frustration well! I think he simply turned many things to Christ, rather than having huge weights on his shoulders.

Truly, Kenneth lived our Yeshua's advice: Love the Lord, God with all your heart, soul, mind, being. And the second command, Love your neighbor as yourself. Loving your neighbor means everything from letting people make mistakes so they will grow as humans & spiritually. It means being present when someone may not have anyone else to turn toward. It means accepting the greater possibilities a person can become. It means even when times are tough, allowing dependiance on the promise of our Holy Spirit, Ruach, the Wind of God, to blow you into who you are destined to become.

I know these things because even after Shannon & I divorced, Kenneth did not divorce me. In my state of confusion, he would be there for me.

He could calm the awkward as well as any Dr of Psych! I loved that man, though too much from a distance. There was a lot of Jesus in him.

I need not detail everything. I do need to thank God, Hashem, my life, for Ken's life, for having known Kenneth.

SO Mixed Emotions – I hurt for his leaving this world: a new birth into our unknown. By now, he knows! I relish that we will again meet, in a life that we still on earth, cannot fully understand. I am extemely glad, happy, filled with the confidence that his Life continues. The spirit on-goes, though the body wears out.
I can close my eyes and see his smile, hear his laughter, feel his joy at Christmas, or on that river tubing day, or feeding his family on a grill-out.

I hurt for his children, both his wives. He never forgot his first wife, for the second, nor the second for the mother of his children. He accepted Dani's as his own too. I can only imagine if I have tears, what they must experience today. He loved me, though he could have passed me off. I loved him for who he was, what he represented, for his legacy, his influence, especially on the male grands in his life.

Praise God for God's love, exemplified through Kenneth Walden. - Family – I love you,

In conclusion – Life is short. Don't waste it. Exemplify your Savior. Know LOVE will cure all ills. Give comfort to the Walden family, if you have opportunity. Even more: Get closer to Your God today! Get closer to your family today.

You are a child of the Most High. Worthy of Love. God loves you, and I love you.

What Opportunity can a Carport really Convey?

On 05/09.2024, late eve / early morn, at the Cultured Cowboy / Oxygen Lounge address 1521 Bypass 72NE, Greenwood, SC, 29649, someone rushed backward and busted the protective sun carport at Cultured Cowboy.

Cameras from Quality Chrystler & Hop In captured the vehicle. City Police report calls it “hit & run”. We suspect the run because of drinking & driving. And risk of a DUI. A newer White SUV pulled to the street, backed fast, probably in anger till it hit the carport; then sped out left on the Bypass & right onto E. Laurel Ave.

This SUV driver did extensive damage to the SUV ( rear clear light lens busted – pieces of plastic collected by police. A back up sensor was yanked off by the wires & left behind. ) The driver/owner will have to have this fixed at a body shop. They will probably try their insurance company to pay for their SUV damages. Picture of the damaged carport included. As time continues, Several people will know who this driver is.

I, as has every human, have made mistakes, fallen short of expectations, even purposefully harmed someone or something. (through errors of omission, or head-strong commission). I was reminded, as I pondered this damage, of a time I was about 11 years old, maybe 12. It was Halloween. Trick or Treat. First time I ever went around a neighborhood without parental supervision. Little brother was with me. He really didn't have a clue what was happening.
I understand more now than then. At the time, I wasn't thinking clearly. Even so, I got a huge pang of guilt as I remembered this. (68-11= 57 years later)
Many people were escourting their small children around. Several left dishes/bowls of candy for visitors, but all the dishes were empty. I'm thinking “trick” or treat. Jumped into the shrubbery at one house, thinking it was funny. I'm now 68 and feel guilty. Don't remember the address. Greenery grows back in time. Never appologized. Know that although not remembered for years, this memory is awful, disturbing, not who I am now. Being a kid was no excuse. Now, admitting this for the first time, my Mom will read this. Admittingly others I am embarrassed to tell. I wish I knew who I wronged, to go to ask forgiveness! I asked God.

At the time, a child, I thought jumping in shrubery funny. No excuse. GUILTY. Wish I could retract my actions. 1 Corinthians 13:11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

I assume by the SUV driver the going to Bypass exit, then fast raging backwards, there was anger. There are consequences of our actions. This was not righteous indignation.

I have a lot of education in Scriptures. I have a lot of education in psychology, life mastery, emotional intelligence, social intelligence, & life coaching. Like the Apostle Paul, I have more credentials than I ever thought I would hold. The edu has come from searching for who I am supposed to be. In all my goodness, in all my transgressions, the common factor is ME.

Yeshua, Jesus, Messiah, taught Love God with all you heart, soul, mind, being. And Love your neighbor as your self. Jewish thought says if you have a problem with your “brother”, lay your offering down at the alter, go attempt to fix the relationship, then come back & make your worship real.
Turn the other cheek – Not to fall out / wimp out, but to understand there is love, there is hope, there is possibility in forgiveness. We know through scientific study proving Scriptures correct, that in being authentic, grateful, and humble, our rewards will mount, our possibilities for a future mature.

Is there capability of self-forgiveness without admission of mistakes? Why confess? So the transgression doesn't fester. So you can begin anew. The relief of worry of being caught is worth the admission of mistakes. How much “fun” is hours, days, years of regret & waiting for the “hammer” to drop on you?
Man-Up? Do we think about the value of learning experiences of those mistakes we made? How much stronger might you feel if you unencombered yourself from the distaste of holding something inside. King David screwed up badly. He tried to cover up. While covering up, he lost sleep, lost intelligent abilities, devised wrong plotting, lived through threat of embarresment, ect. When he was exposed for his taking advantage of position & power, he cried, he asked for the burden of consequence to be placed on him, not his child, condemned to die.

The experience of admission, the previous coverup, which lost the respect of those military leaders he needed, was horrible for David and the country he had charge of; but the experience of facing the consequences grew him into the Leader he was meant to become.

God loved David, a man after His own heart, most times. We have a Messiah that became a sacrifice so we could be forgiven. Didja ever ponder: God' rules are so much more important than our feelings.

Men / women are not perfect. But we can choose not to be horrid. WE are not unloved, yet we need to reciprocate love to feel the love given toward us. We are not perfect, but on a journey toward perfection, which will be realized in out next life. The body dies, yet the soul lives onward! Is this a hopeful or a distressing thought?

What would happen if you place your best Self forward? Put your Best Self into action?
Could it be:
The respect of those who know you best. What if you gained their loyalty because of your admitted vulnerability & doing the right thing, even when hard? – If you run from this, will they ever think you have any loyalty to them? To anything?
Self-respect. Could it be that through positive living beyond the current distressful actions could make you more insightful, more courageous, more sure of your Self in all future situations?
Ability to move forward. It is impossible to live your best life with internal conflicts raging. What affects will the shame of being caught, the guilt of the commission have upon you? This growing destruction of inner Self, stop you from achieving in your future?

What would it be like to befriend a person who understood true forgivness, could mentor you in this & other hard times? To feel relief from the pressures of hiding, guilt, worry of when discovery will happen? To make things right? Conversly, What if you have some degree of success &at some time, this unexpectantly comes forward and crashes everything you worked for your future?

I promise, the yoke of admission & getting things right with you & God & those trangressed against can be lifted by actions taken, by falling into the arms of your Savior, Yeshua, Jesus. By simply coming forth and making things right.

I promise The “Prayer” of Jesus given to us has meaning in every word. I promise to listen. I too have screwed up. What would happen if this incedent, you & I, could team up to make this world a better place?
Think about this! I'm easy to find. In Jesus name, ChuckyT 864-341-4775
