Chester's Chat

I think that everyone should have a philosophy of life--know why you are on the planet, know yourself, spend time with yourself, know what's going on around you, listen to others (especially your Elders) and respect their opinions, know your history, and connect with a higher being. Two of my favorite sayings are, "We live by habits," and, "Time is the most important thing that we have." I sometime do a "Thought for the Day" that I send to my daughters (but I've gotten lazy in the past year).

Part of my philosophy which I learned in my middle thirties is, "Work is not the purpose of my life, I am given life thet I may live." To the men out there that are married or contemplating marriage check this out:

"I would rather die than to dishonor the name of the Lord, break the heart of my wife and family, or disappoint those who respect me."

I have been married for over 50 years and this has always been a part of my philosophy. If you commit yourself to this, you to can be married to the same woman for over 50 years.

New Pictures of My Family

Hi Everybody,

I have uploaded more pictures of my family legacy. It was important to me to add my brothers that have passed away--Argustus (Gus) Thomas Owens and Uriel Edward Owens. We miss them and think about them every day.

THANK YOU EVERYONE!

Hey Daddy!

Happy 76th birthday Daddy! I am so proud of you for embracing technology, keeping up with the latest everything, and surpassing ALL of the "Bamas" with your skills! (Huggy would be proud).

You send out emails everyday, are now on Facebook, and guess what? You now have a blog! You can tell everybody off in a matter of a push of a button. That's right, Chester is now in the blogesphere world! Watch out!

You can use this blog to talk about history, show pictures and videos, and just say whatever you want. As you always say, "I have earned the right to say what I want!" Now, you have a even wider forum of people to tell, "We live by habits," and "Time is the only thing that you have." Look out world---Chester C. Owens, Jr. has something to say!

Love,

Carla
