I'm DeCall, and this is my world.  Me, me, me... you know, this may as well be about me and my wife and my kids and my whole family tree and my brothers and my mom and dad and my business and my dad's business and what I'm reading and what we are doing.  I was just thinking about my grandpa Bill the other day.  He was an ordinary... or was he?  He served in WWII and fought with bravery and skill.  He shot down 2 1/2 Japanese planes as a B-25 tail gunner!  He many times did extraordinary things such as bombing an enemy hospital which was actually a huge ammunition depot. And the time he defended his camp from an enemy soldier in the dark of night with a throwing-knife.  I think about my own dad Larrie... He may seem ordinary to some people, yet I have been impressed by him so many times.  Like the time he made a 36" pipe "T" and then he and another welder and I  welded about 14 or 16 weld joints in time to  turn the city water back on before the sun came up.  Or the time my dad welded an 18" x 30' pipe bypass (a 3 dimensional object) on the bank, and with only a tape-measure it fit perfectly without ever needing to drop it in to check the fit. I have always been impressed with my dad, how he always chooses quality and honesty and makes the right choice.  It's no wonder this great nation defeated the Germans AND the Japanese AND the others because of great men like my grandfather.  It's no wonder that almost every water reservoir and major water line in Las Vegas were welded by a great man like my dad.  I hope I too will be thought of as a great man by living an ordinary life like my grandpa and dad.  My wife and my kids and my business and the gospel of Jesus Christ... that is my life.
