Healing Hands

Went by my old office in Calhoun today.Found a lot of memories that flooded over me like a waterfall.I want lie to you,there are days when I wish I had never left that place but God had another set of plans for us.So today I get some things out of the attic that I will use in my home office.My answer to Obama Care.Quality care at an affordable price.A friend of mine in Dalton has been working out of his home for several years now and both he and his patients love it.It is a new concept for me - for I am a traditionalist at heart.We have what use to be the dining room as my adjusting room.Jolene bought two black screens that will give some privacy-it is the best adjusting room I have ever had.Tomorrow I have three patients and I am excited.We have lost something in this country.Trust in doctors.Trust in our government.We have lost hope. 90% of the docs I know really care about doing the right things and for a reasonable fee.Combine greedy insurance companies with greedy docs and we have a health care system that is out of control.It seems that we are headed for a system of high deductibles which fits right into my plan of low fees with emphasis on prevention.Someone told me the other day that I have healing hands?My wife and I decided to call our office that.God opened a lot of doors so I could become a chiropractor.We sold a building and a house in one week. I drove from Rome to Marietta everyday for almost 4 years.I know God is in this  and after all these years that is all I need.

Coach Smith

I first saw him when  Josh was in the 8th grade and Bradley Junior was playing Truett in basketball.No doubt that Bradley had more talent but those boys from Truett would run through a brick wall for Kent.Josh scored 33 that day and two kindred sprirts connected.Kent would eventually be the winningest coach in Bradley history and Josh would be Mr Basketball in 2000. More than that a friendship was formed between Josh and Kent as well as our whole family.It is rare to see people that are so passionate about what they do .And if one word describes Kent it is passionate.I really think that passion that Josh and Kent had bound them together.The years from 1998-2000 were some of best basketball that Bradley fans ever witnessed capped off by a 37-2 record and a state runner up in 2000.The next group of Bears would include my son Justin,Kellen Corey,Chris and Andrew most of whom had played together since the 4th grade. This group would also be state runner ups and beat hated rival White Station in the Arby's Classic.They would also win over 100 games in that 3 year stretch.It was magic watching the chemistry that team had.I would watch the games while listening to Corky and Gary calling the game as only they could.It was a special time that I still hold close.The news came the other day that Kent was taking a leave of absence from coaching.As we get older we realize that all things eventually end,and thus Kent's time coaching the Bears.We will miss his passion,his slapping the floor and the love that he had for the players. I Am honored to have him as a friend and so glad he coached Josh and Justin .And as Kent would say"Go Bears"./
