HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

….and many more.

We will be having a celebration of Life ceremony Saturday, April 25th, 2009 (4:00p.m.-??) It will be held at the American Legion located at 109 North 6th Street, Richmond, Indiana 47374. We will laugh, sing, cry and tell amazing stories about Cliff! We will have pictures and videos so we can share some of his incredible moments with all of you.

Clifford L. Hazelbaker II, 57, of Richmond was born January 13, 1952 and was reborn on April 16, 2009. Cliff was the son of Clifford and Barbara (Goodwin) Hazelbaker. Cliff graduated from Centerville High School in 1970. He was married to Nancy McBride Hazelbaker on March 6, 1970. They recently celebrated their 39th Wedding Anniversary. Cliff enjoyed spending time with his incredible family. Their family motto is “Love Never Fails!” He also enjoyed sharing his love of God on www.boldgrace.com. Here is an excerpt from that site… “Clouds don’t seem to care where they’re going. They are content to follow the directions of the spirit of the air, enjoying the journey as they make their way to their purpose. Though they are unaware of their designation or their purpose as they travel along, they find themselves eventually called upon to join forces and deliver liquid life to the earth. Often exhausted, they whither and die, having given all of themselves in doing their work. But, as those clouds die, others are reborn from their seed to carry on the purpose.” Cliff is survived by his wife Nancy ; Mother, Barbara; Children: Tammy (Bob) Thompson of Centerville, Clifford (Bridget) Hazelbaker III of Richmond, Mindy (Charlie) Hill of New Carlisle, Ohio, Amy (Todd) Witter of Bath, Indiana; He is also survived by 9 grandchildren: Josh, Jacob, Paige, Samantha, Clifford IV, Abby, Emma, Lilly and Phoebe. Brothers: Andy (Teresa) and Doug (Cindy) Hazelbaker.

"Behavior scientist have known for decades that the most effective way to alter the behavior of any living creature is through positive reinforcement."

Those words come from a booklet I recently purchased, "The Whole Dog Journal". It is a publication that offers guidelines for raising happy well adjusted dogs.

Do you suppose that what was written here also applies to the creature of man?

What if we affected the behavior of other people through offering them nothing but positive reinforcement? What if we only stressed that God loves them unconditionally…..always. What if we told them only "good-news" and never tried to change them through threats of negative punishment from an angry God?

The Whole Dog Journal also states that "these techniques work - and better yet they work without ever making the animal afraid or defensive".

Hmmm. Who are the most well adjusted people.  Those who know they are loved and accepted or those who are afraid and defensive?

I have always believed that God meant for us to change the world.

……and Life is being good to me.

Little Will, our newest grandson had his open heart surgery in early November and is doing wonderful. The doctors say he is the most successful case they have ever seen in reversing the "blue baby" conditions.

Christy, our daughter in Dallas, TX is pregnant with our sixth grandchild, a little girl who will be named Ella. We are all very excited.

Had a wonderful time sharing the boldgrace of God with a coworker the other day. He is changed forever.

I am on vacation now. I’m actually taking my last week of last years vacation which I never had an opportunity to take until now. I have a couple of really good buddies in nearby Pennsylvania that I think I’ll contact to try to get together for breakfast this coming Saturday.

Love all my friends here. Keep sharing God’s wonderful and bold grace.
