Monday, Sunday, No control

Have you ever had those Monday blues?  Actually I seem to get them any day of the week, but Monday’s just seem to be more intense.  Maybe it is because I am on such a high after a great Sunday morning of working out, (setting up C3 ) worship, awesome speaking by Byron, and then another quick work out, (tearing down C3).  I would not change a thing though about my Sunday morning!!  I mean that Travis & Barry!!

Back to Monday, let’s just say that I am glad that we only have Monday once a week.  If Monday is your best day, let me know so that I may learn from you. 

As I have been writing this I have realized that Monday, brings me back to the Grind, the ones that I am endeavoring to live above. Man it is difficult sometimes. Friday ended badly, and now Monday began badly. Oh well, as my sister says, put on your big boy pants and get over it.  Although those words bring great wisdom, and some laughter, I know that God does have it all under control, as much as I try to take it back, God is in control.  It really is important to remember that, live by it, and tell others that, or it could drive you crazy.

I am glad that I am not in control of my life. I would mess it up much more then anyone can imagine.  Thank you for the life you have given me Lord!

Siblings

Yesterday, I spent the day with my two sisters.   One older, one younger. We do not always agree on stuff, and yes we do argue, but we are brother and sisters.  My older sister always stood up for me, and as we talked we remembered some times when she kept me from being beat to a pulp as a kid, of course she could punch me anytime she wanted and on several occasions gave me a bloody nose, but she always protected me from other people.  Then I have my younger sister, who I actually had the privilege to help raise.  She is over 11 years younger then me, and added a new dimension to our family when she was born.  As we worked together getting my older sisters house ready to be rented, I realized how important these two women are in my life.  Of course my wife, Patti is the most important woman to me, and without her I would be nothing, but my sisters are important as well.  With our mom gone, we have to stick together and hold each other up, and I am thankful that we could be there for my older sister.  She is moving to South Carolina where her and her husband have a new home.  I am going to miss her not being here in Florida!!!!  Thank you ladies for being my sisters, I am very blessed to have you.

Over 40, how the time flies

1966, 42 years ago I entered this world, and really, sometimes I wish I was back in the 70’s. My wife and I where talking tonight, and it is hard to believe that we are both over 40, our son just turned 16, and we will be married 18 years in May. Older people say that time goes faster as you age, well from my point of view, if time goes much faster, I might just stay in bed. Not really, but wow the clock just keeps ticking and life just keeps moving.
It seems like just yesterday, that I saw my wife for the first time. Wow flash back to the 80’s.
That was scary!!!! I acutally was just hearing Michael Jackson’s Thriller in my mind!!
Although, I wish time would slow down, I am so very thankful for my wife and son, and for them putting up with me for all this time. God has really blessed our life together. And over the last ten years, He has taught us so very much, okay He has taught me so much, my wife is just way smarter then me already.

We have grown up, grown out, (we are working on that) and grown wiser through all these years, especially this last one. 2007 taught us alot about people, unfortunately I wish we had not learned it. God is still bigger, stronger, and way more incontrol then we want to think about and He has it all under His plan. (wish I knew what it was) And that is what I have to remember.

Oh yeah, God is all that, and much, much more!!!

So keep your your eyes on the clock, because time is flying

Hello world!

Well, I have entered the world of blogging!!!

So many people read blogs, so many people write blogs, and for the most part they are very interesting.(at least the ones I read)

Over the next few posts you will get to know more about me, more about God, and more about the journey my family and I are on.  For some, maybe you know me, or maybe you don’t, but it is my hope that no matter which it is you will get to know more about my God and how he is working in my life.

Just a semi-normal guy, living a semi-normal life, in a not so normal world!!! 

I also hope that this blog will bring you some laughs as well.
