tIM’S THOUGHTS<br />
BASEBALL, MEMBERSHIP PRICES<br />
& “THE ECONOMY”<br />
My oldest son’s baseball season is well underway. Tim Jr. is ten years old and<br />
this is the first season where the kids actually pitch! When I heard this, I<br />
was afraid that every other batter was going to get hit. But as it turns out,<br />
these kids are actually pretty good pitchers! Tim’s<br />
team wins a little more than half the time they<br />
play and they are all very competitive. It is really<br />
fun to see my son grow up.<br />
I’ve decided to permanently lower <strong>US</strong>CCA<br />
membership/subscription prices. The normal<br />
annual price for a <strong>US</strong>CCA membership used to<br />
be $69. Well, now it is only $47. If you ask me, a<br />
<strong>US</strong>CCA membership is simply money well spent.<br />
Please tell all your friends and relatives about the<br />
<strong>US</strong>CCA!<br />
I am so tired of hearing about how bad the<br />
economy is. Heck, sometimes I think the mainstream<br />
media WANTS the economy to be bad!<br />
Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not an ostrich with<br />
my head in the sand. I realize that gas is really<br />
expensive and the real estate market is rough.<br />
But I think a LOT of the reason the economy is<br />
bad is because people THINK it is bad. Nothing<br />
is ever going to be perfect, so you’re better off<br />
just making the best with the current situation<br />
than worrying and complaining about how bad<br />
everything is!<br />
Here is a picture of me and my<br />
son Tim Jr. He is ten years old and<br />
plays second base for the West<br />
Bend Little League Cleveland<br />
Indians. I don’t really know that<br />
much about the game of baseball,<br />
but I still ended up being one of<br />
the coaches!<br />
Finally, talking about having nothing to complain about, just wait until you<br />
read this month’s CCM profile. As far as I’m concerned, Josh Benson is a man<br />
among men. I was truly inspired by his never-give-up attitude!<br />
God Bless and stay safe,<br />
JULY 2008 COVER<br />
PHOTOGRAPHER: Oleg Volk<br />
MODEL: Joshua Benson poses with a Sig 226.<br />
He ordinarily carries a 9mm Browning Hi Power<br />
in a crossdraw FIST driving holster; sharp-eyed<br />
readers may spot the butt of that pistol peeking<br />
out from under his shirt in the cover photo. Josh<br />
experienced vaccine-induced poliomyelitis as an<br />
infant, which left him with limited mobility. His<br />
disability has not stopped him, however; he’s<br />
taken dozens of firearms courses from noted<br />
trainers and has become a handgun instructor<br />
himself. He notes, “Being in the chair I wanted to<br />
have all the advantages I could if something happened. “ Read more about Josh in<br />
the Profile on page 18.<br />
