Doesn't the coolness of the air in the morning refresh you? There are many things about summer that I love...mainly the beach with the family. But, there is something about the fall with football, Halloween, cooler weather, and fishing that just does it for me.
As a young boy...going all the way back to 5-6 years old...I have so many fond memories of spending them with my dad on the beaches in North Carolina surf fishing. It didn't matter to him that I couldn't cast my own line or tie my own tackle. I think what mattered to him the most was that we were together and he was teaching me his passion and love...not only for saltwater fishing, but also for the sea. When we would get a bite, he would hook the fish and make sure it was on. He would then hand me the rod and tell me to put it on my shoulder and just start walking towards the dunes. I never reeled....I just walked. By the time I got to the highest point on the beach, the fish was usually flopping around in the surf.
As I got older and could handle myself with a rod and reel, I can remember many Fridays when he would get me out of school early and we would head to the beach for a weekend of fishing. The bottom line was..if it was the fall and the fish were running...daddy and I were there.
Daddy just passed away in January and I was just thinking today I should call him and ask him how the fishing was.....then reality set in. It has been a number of years since I have walked with him over the dunes and to the surf..carrying all our rods, tackle boxes, coolers, and rod holders. The memories are as fresh today as they have ever been. I miss my dad a lot. Tears now streak my face as I wish I could just talk to him one more time.
Fish on Pops! I love you.

News!!
Happy Birthday to Makinley and Joey. We had a great time Sunday celebrating the big days with a party and then later, a cookout. My sister, Mary Grey, and brother-in-law, Derrick, came in from Wilmington and spent a few days with the kids. It's not often that we can get the whole family (almost) together in one place. I enjoyed the visit and all the excitement for the kids.
Debbie and I kept Tripp Friday night and Saturday night so Joey and Stacey could have some he and she time. I had to work all weekend, so Debbie was pretty much on her own as far as entertaining a 4 year old goes. She does it well. She just takes him to Target and opens her pocketbook.
Not a great report today from the kidney biopsy. Seems I have about 30% kidney function due to scarring from diabetes. I was shocked since I was just diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes about a year and half ago. He seems to think for right now that the medicines I take are keeping everything in check, but he has moved up my frequency on visits. He hopes we can make it 10 years or so before we have to think about dialysis/transplant. Neither of those words are in my vocabulary.
The Efusjon opportunity is awesome and getting bigger by the day. Not only is the product great and good for you, it is a TREMENDOUS investment opportunity for anyone as the Company prepares to go international in the next few months. I am blown away by it's simplicity and the ease of duplication. I am hosting a webinar tonight at 8:30PM. Sit down in front of your computer and log in at www.gotomeeting.com. The meeting ID number is 693-673-218 and will last 30 minutes or thereabouts. No obligation whatsoever.

Ramblings........
I promise..nothing about Efusjon in this post. Well, one thing! It just keeps getting better and better! I would never have dreamed and now all I do is dream.
First of all, happy birthday to my son. I am so proud of him. Yesterday he went to the doctor and his Type 2 diabetes is gone. He has lost in excess of 80 lbs., blood pressure was great. Wish his Grandpa Sheneman was still here to see him as he always asked me how "Trey is doing with his weight?" He's doing great daddy. Hard to believe he is 26 years old. When I was 26, Stacey was already here and Trey was just around the corner. Where has the time gone? I remember laying in the hospital bed the night before my heart surgery in 1991 and asking God just to give me enough time to see both the kids graduate from high school. Isn't it just like God to give us more than we ask for?? Thank you Lord for all the days, all the hours, and all the blessings.
I miss seeing my little girl (you too Joey) and Tripp and Makinley everyday. Before they moved to MAdison and I needed a "fix", I could hop in the car and be with them in just a few minutes. Not so anymore, but that's OK. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. I'm proud of my Stacey Baby. Not only does she work full-time and take care of her family as well, she has now gone back to school to get her masters in education. I don't care who you are...that's a massive undertaking and full plate.
We're heading to Orlando in a few weeks. Our nephew, Mark, is doing a internship at Disneyworld for the next 4-5 months and we're going down to make sure he isn't abusing Minnie. The part of our Efusjon TEAM H.O.P.E. that is Florida based is also having a event down there on October 3rd and we want to be there and be part of the excitement.
We're providing dinner tonight for Stacie Walker and her family. Keep her in your prayers. A very young mon and wife who has only recently been diagnosed with breast cancer and just had her breasts removed and has chemo to go through now. We serve a big God and nothing catches Him unaware. We just believe in His healing powers and His enormous love for each of His children.
Anyway, enough with the ramblings....
GO NC STATE...beat USC Gamecocks! College football is back TONIGHT!

The Power of Three
WOW!!
This is all I'm going to say...you snooze....you lose!!
What would you do if the company you work for came to you and said, "hey...great job, I just gave you a $6,000 anual raise?" I know what I'd do because with Kroger it would take me 3 years to get that kind of increase, so I'd be pretty ecstatic.
With efusjon it has taken me 44 days and this is just the beginning. I haven't sold anything. I have invested some time telling folks about this tremendous investment opportunity...how you can have a limited risk with a huge potential. Personally, I don't understand "no" before you know. This thing is going global and this is the absolute "ground floor." It is simple. It is not a get rich quick scheme. It is not a pyramid scheme. It's not anything like anything you've ever seen or heard of before...period.
But, if you're happy and satisfied and content with making $$$ for the other guy, have fun and I'll never say "I told you so."
Well.........actually I probably will.

Blessed and Efused
Four weeks ago today, Trey and I sat down at my PC and hit the "Join Now" button. Little did we know at the time, how the Efusjon Energy Club would begin to change our lives.
First of all and most importantly to me, it has drawn us closer together as a father and a son. I am proud of Trey and love him dearly. He is one of my heroes, but one of the requirements of being a dad is to teach his son how to be a man and in that area....I struggled. See, I wanted him to grow into the same man I am. I didn't realize that he was growing into a man, but he was growing into the man that God wanted him to be. We've had the typical struggles and disagreements that a father and son would have, but I have been to blame for too many of them that weren't necessary. I'm sorry son.
It was only several days later that Stacey & Joey came into the business, so now our whole family is involved. I couldn't be more excited.
Many people have come into our lives via Efusjon. We have made many new friends. We are helping our new friends build this opportunity for themselves. It is so simple and easy, but hard for people to see "past" all the other home based business opportunities that maybe they are familiar with. IT'S NOT LIKE THEM Y'ALL. But, you will never understand unless you ask for an explanation. You can watch the company produced videos and see the plan, but if you were like me...you still didn't get it. In fact, Trey got it well before I did and once he explained it to me and the light bulb went off it was GAME OVER.
Let me explain it this way. All you need do is to enroll 3 people and only 3 people in the club. The next step is to help those 3 people enroll their 3 people and then that progression perpetuates itself. So, the first month, you enroll 3 people. If the progression remains constant over 10 months, there will be 88,572 people enrolled that you are being paid on or $451,717.20 PER MONTH. Sounds absolutely ludicrous doesn't it? Well, what if I am 99% WRONG?? If I am 99% WRONG, I will still be making $4,472.00 per month at the end of 10 months.
Bottom line is I'm willing to risk $120 per month to make this kind of money. It is a absolute no-brainer for me.
By the way.....I paid myself back in the first 8 days of being in the club!!

Internet Business Authority
I thought you might enjoy this review of Efusjon written by the Internet Business Authority dated June 18th. The IBA is an organization dedicated to providing the best internet marketing strategies, tips, and product reviews.
"Efusjon is a energy drink company that has recently caused a great deal of buzz throughout the internet. While at first I wasn't too impressed with the thought of another health and wellness type of opportunity, after further review I understood the cause of the excitement.
Efusjon energy drinks are basically a healthy option to the other increasingly popular options available on the market. it differs from products such as Red Bull, Monster and Rock Star energy drink due to its ingredients. Currently available and upcoming products contain items such as Acai Berry, Mangosteen, and Quercetin, which was recently made popular by Lance Armstrong.Most of the other energy drinks on the market today are filled with sugar and harmful ingredients, and realistically should be avoided if possible. However, the energy drink market continues to grow annually as people look for an extra boost to get through their days. Efusjon decided to meet this same purpose, but with the healthy components named above. These ingredients are touted by well known doctors around the world. For example, Dr. Nicholas Perricone, a contributor to the Oprah Winfrey show, calls the Acai Berry found in Efusjon Edge and Efusjon Raw drinks "Nature's #1 Super Food."
Efusjon also differs from the other energy drink companies in regards to their business plans. While companies like Red Bull spend nearly a billion dollars a year in advertising costs, Efusjon decided to use the network marketing model to spread the word about their products. The Efusjon Energy Club was modeled after a wine tasting club. As Associates share the product with others, they are compensated. This is obviously working for Efusjon as they are currently experiencing record breaking growth.
Of course this alone does not excited the professional network marketer, as all of their businesses use this model. What does excite them however is the Efusjon Club compensation plan, which can honestly be called revolutionary without exhibiting hype. They use a unique community overlap plan that allows people to share compensation on entrants into the matrix. This contributes to a true team building effort. What's more is that Efusjon does not have the usual complicated requirements that most network marketing companies have. A associate only needs to enroll three others to qualify to be compensated for the ENTIRE pay plan.
Although the product and compensation plan are both solid reasons for me to recommend Efusjon, the marketing strategy they are employing is what really puts it over the edge. Derek Broes, a Vice President at Paramount pictures who has worked with Microsoft and Napster in the past, is launching an application on Facebook that should further increase excitement and enrollments for a company currently averaging about 400 new associates per day. This Efusjon application will mark the first time any company, network marketing or Fortune 500, has used the popular applications that makes Facebook so addictive as a platform to advertise their company.
Now if you can imagine how having your business promoted each time someone uses the application would affect your bottom line, you will be impressed as I was after learning this."

Efused.....
2 weeks ago today I began gathering information about the Efusjon Energy Drink Club that my nephew had first told me about on July 8. I spent a number of hours that afternoon watching videos, researching the company, looking at the storied resumes' of the founders of the company. I couldn't find anything bad on the internet clearly telling me to stay away.
Quite clearly I agreed to join the club because my nephew asked me too and I love my nephew. I don't drink energy drinks, I'm not interested in selling energy drinks. Bottom line, it was worth it to me to help him get started and then in a few months I would come up with an excuse to get out.
So much for that thought.
Here it is 13 days later and I'm profitable. I've repaid my initial investment and I'm putting money in my pocket. The thing about it, that check will only continue to grow and to grow as the months come and go. I was thinking today about the stock market. For 25 years or so I have funded my 401K plan at work. I've placed money in expecting to get a return on my investment. The problem is, I lost about 30% of it's value in just a few short months after working my tail off for 30 years to fund it. We all probably do something similar...try and save a few dollars here and there for a rainy day. Who would have expected a major downturn in the country's economy in the past year? If I could have made 10%/11% on a particular stock in 13 days, I would have put everything I had in it.
So, I've returned 11.68% on my money in 13 days. The neat thing about it. That's the lowest return I'll ever have. The other thing is, I'll stop funding my 401K in a few more months and start using my profits to pay off my house. Once I pay off my house, I'm set for retirement. I will have more than enough income to do so. Pay off your house Al? Yep! Period! End of story! This thing will be that big.
Everyone says run...stay away...multi level marketing...ALARM ALARM ALARM! I DID THE SAME THING. Then one day lightning struck and I understood it all. I said to myself then and I'm saying to myself today...this is genius. It's not MLM. I don't have to sell anything but myself. If I can sell myself to 3 friends and I'm in the money. It all clicked. It's all simple once a person sees what it took me 4 days to see.
It's a club, nothing more. All you need is 3 friends to join with you and help those 3 friends get 3 friends and you are off to the races. Many of you might have never been approached about joining a wine club, but I have. join the wine club and get 4 different bottles of wine each month to sample. In this case we're talking one of the hottest commodities in the country today...energy drinks...but healthy, all natural, organic energy drinks> Good stuff and good for you too. Share them, sell them, dump them down the toilet. As my 23 month old granddaugher would say, "wotever." That's all there is to it. You then sit back and let the power of the matrix do the rest.
That's how big this thing is going to be! 46 members in 13 days for me.....you do the math!
Have a nice efused.....day!
