I got nothing today, so here goes as much as I can think of. Today I was thinking off the people that used to come to our church. Makes me think of the people that leave, & the new people that come in Makes me wonder of what would make a person give up on God. I know I am saved, & I wouldn't have peace in my heart to stop coming to the house of God. Makes me think if those people were even saved to begin with, all I can do is pray for these people. I don't know if I should visit them maybe they don't want to be bothered. There are some people that they believe they could lose there salvation, & I say to them who are you? Are you greater than God? I use John 10:28 MY Father which gave them me, is greater than all; & no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. Who are you is what I say? Are you greater than God to pluck yourself out of His hand. When you really get saved you want to do the things of God, Yes the flesh is weak. Which one do you feed the most the flesh or the Spirit, that will be the one that controls your life. I hear people use excuses for not giving up there sin, there will always be excuses. Yeah but, that is mostly used. I would give that up, BUT this, But that, always an excuse not to serve God. You wait till your in a bind then you remember Oh yeah I have a God. Why wait till God gets your attention, or the devil is attacking. Don't ever stop going to church, you are having problems there is no better place to be than the house of God. Some people even blame God for their problems, that is so sad do you know who you are messing with. My Lord didn't make excuses to go to the cross, I could die for them, BUT. No way did he hesitate as he walked down that road to die in the cross. But for us it is to hard for us to get up on Sundays & give him one hour of our lives one hour. I am not even talking about Sunday school. Why is it so hard to go visiting on Saturdays? If it was to invite people to your birthday party or your kids birthday party you would do it, wouldn't you. Wednesday night one hour to pray, & study the word of God, How do you expect to grow in the Lord? How do you expect the Lord to bless you. Is it really that hard to give your tithe, is it really hard to live by faith. My God will never let you down. I just don't understand how people get there eyes on people, & start focusing on what other people are doing, Your suppose to go to church to worship, & praise not to be seen and say look @ me I am here at church. Don't get your eyes off the Lord, because it is so easy to backslide, too easy. To go back to doing the things of the devil, remember what He did for you, Why wont you trust HIM? Why wont you obey? Why won't you serve Him? What will it take for you to do the things of God? Don't waste your time here on earth, life is but a vapor, it will end, Unless your saved & know beyond a shadow of a doubt, that you have trusted Jesus as your Saviour. It's your choice Heaven or Hell, & Hell is not party, you will burn, burn forever. Who has control of your Life, has the devil got a really good hold of you , & you don't even know it. Who is your father? Get on the winning side, read your Bible in the end God wins.

Today J & I were emailing back & forth, & we were talking about people who have worked @ companies for 20 some odd years. It got me thinking about my retirement plan to drive all over the USA with my wife. Getting a job over the road & just travel, & wherever I am @ take a few days off there in any part of the country. I have this plan, but only God will tell if it is possible. You never know God might use me somewhere for something. As long as it is HIS will, i will be fine with it. Don't have much to say today it is past midnight, but I had to blog, driven by the blog Nazi(J), it is 1:35 AM right now, I must go on to finish this blog. Wonder where we would be in about 20 years from now, how our kids turned out, pray to God we have fought a good fight, run this thing called life. Enjoy yourself, live a little once in a while.

Today was a usual day, good oll coffee & oatmeal for breakfast. Thinking off our friends in Louisiana, & how we will meet soon if the Lord is willing. Chuck called me again after work to check on my other friend, we talk really short, & brief. Today was payday & I was figuring out our tithe, plus missions that we give weekly. I never do this my wife usually does this, I looked @ the numbers, then I felt bad for looking, I cant explain how God does it he makes our money go such a long way. I don't want to know anymore how much tithe is, I will just do the regular ritual where I ask my wife do we have money to spend, then she will look @ the checkbook & tell me we have this much. Hope you guys have been praying for our church family's. Talked to john today but he had to go said something about a gas leak he was on the phone pumping gas i think. @ least he wasn't in the JOHN, talking to me or texting like another Brother. So we hung up, I went to home depot to get some parts for my ceiling fan it was always on when we turned on the switch. It took me 30 minutes , & a month to fix it sorry baby, got a little lazy ok alot. Drove by Boggus to see if they had my truck, I was looking @ a toyota crew cab, but it was too small. They had a tracker, pero no traey nada, LS model, pffffft. My wife said who cares, but I care sorry. Then came home saw a movie, then checked jaiku, then blogged, then to sleep. Good night.

Today was a usual day @ work started with a cup of coffee, & some oatmeal to keep warm. There was tension @ work since that guy got fired from work, I know everyone @ work is thinking am I next, myself included. I found out @ work they are going to BIG BROTHER our Internet access, which I don't care I usually am not on jaiku anymore I am trying to do more work , I am an example so I better be working all the time. Well as I was finishing work about to leave I get a call from chuck, long conversation though I told him what I needed to say, but in a loving way, we ended our conversation, I told him I love him, not in a gay way, but I would be praying for them. Church was awesome, brought me to my knees to repent of some stuff, & ask God to make me the Christian man I need to be, Christian husband to my wife, Christian Father to my boys. I love my pastor would do anything for him, so don't mess with him you got to get through me first, he he, j/k, or am I. He left everything to follow the will of God in his life, I pray so hard we would get right with God, & help bring in more families, I don't want Pastor to work, He needs to be supported by the church, just my opinion. After church I went with J, to Rudy's, mmmmmmmm, had some good talk on the way over there, @ Rudy's, & on the way back. Good fellowship, He was telling me his testimony of when he got saved, I was in the pool, when John was talking to him about getting saved. All of a sudden John starts crying, yelling J Got Saved, Praise the Lord. I wanted to cry when J was telling me, but I had to be strong, for J of course. Its weird I have cried in front of him when I got filled with the Spirit, when I was hearing my favorite hymnal, In The Garden. We were on the way to wall bangers that day. On what Jesus did for me, man that gets me every time. I guess I am just a big crybaby. I don't care its because of what God can do for us, & we don't deserve nothing, but hell. Thank God for his Mercy, oh Mercy, yes Mercy Lord, Sorry gotta go pray now. Laters .Night All

Tuning In

Quince

Today was a really boring day, too much rain. I was studying I Corinthians, this morning it was pretty good. Had my usual large cup of coffee, to start the day @ work. My heart was so burden for our church families today, so I prayed. Prayed so hard it was unbelievable, what God can do just praying. My wife took Mike to piano practice today, so David & I were home alone. I was chatting with my best friend from Louisiana John, J your my best friend in Texas ok. We had a good chat really helped me out, after we stopped chatting, I went to the room to pray, & little David interrupts me of course, he taps me gently on the shoulder & whispers "Daddy". With my eyes full of tears, I said,"Yes, My Baby". He then tells me, "can I pray with you". Awe man talk about a knot in my throat, " I tell him yes baby of course you don't have to ask, when daddy is praying you just come in & pray with daddy". So we were praying for everyone @ church pew by pew, visualizing everyone where they sit, the preacher & his family, & if I would forget someone David would let me know. We prayed for a good hour or so it was so heartwarming. Then he asked for prayer for his lions, so we prayed for his lions. Kids are great why cant we just serve God like that, I apologized to God for falling short, for all my faults that I could remember, we need to confess our sins, get our heart right with the Lord in order for our prayer to reach heaven, not just hit the ceiling, & bounce back. So we ate caldo today that was good, mmmm, then later hot chocolate. I just pray my boys see the good things done for the Lord, not the things we don't do for the Lord, kids are like sponges, my friend J says. They see the things we do, & don't do, they will always look up to us no matter what, they will think the things we like are cool, they will dislike the same things we dislike, So serve God with all your might, & let the Kiddos see that, not for show but that you really love Jesus with your heart not you lips. Pray for my family, I will pray for yours, I even prayed for my blogger family, & there families, Just pray, if you can get a prayer through, just pray. Prayer we all need it. How do you think we got saved someone was praying for us someway somehow. God is Good, All the time, All the time, God is good.

Strike A Pose

The Heisman Baby, lol, too funny. Enjoy it, I thought it was too funny to put on David's helmet. This was the Helmet when I used to play for the Hoglorns, like David says.

Big Boy

What in the world is this? My wife showed my this fruit when I got home. As you can see my sausage fingers next to it, it is huge. I put a tangerine, orange, then this thing. I also put Bumble Bee next to it, But it was no match for me. My wife & I tag teamed this big boy. I really ate most of it of course, pfffft. Mrs. Nanette Tucker gave her this when she took Mike to piano lessons. They eat this in the Philippines. It tasted not to sweet, but it was good, like a grapefruit, but not to tangy, or tart, he he, YES, used those words in a sentence. I just thought it was a lemon on steroids.

Well today was a good day, got to work @ about 6:30 AM. Of course had my cup off coffee, it was pretty nippy this morning so the coffe went down good. Nippy is that a word, he he. I left early on Friday @ hours early to go to Odem, Tx. I had a driver put a hole in the corner of a F-350, that tree came out of nowhere. Then the boss calls us into a shoet meeting, all the office personel, there is suppose to be 7 of us. He let us know as of Friday he let go of one of the Salesman, wow, we were all in shock. Makes me think about my job, we are all expendable, I thought what I would do if Ilost my job, I would probably go over the road again, as a trucker. This salesman, had just gotten a Nissan Pathfinder '08, yikes. So all day today everyone was all uptight, all tense in the office. Then the boss brought us girl scout cookies for the girl scouts we will be shipping out this year, mmmmmm, tag alongs. What would you do if you were let go?

Well today church was good made me think of my recent post, I almost deleted it, but I just left it on. It is how I feel , & it my blog, I want to have the liberty to write what I am thinking. I also have to think about the people that read my blog, & what they will think of me. Sometime I say too much, I would like to take back the words I say, but it is too late. I said what I felt. I love to pour out my heart to you guys, cause I know I will get your honest OPINION, that's all I have MY OPINION. I trust my wife with my most innermost problems, & heartaches I have, but once in a while I let it out on you guys, you guys are my family, literally I think I am closer to you guys than my family. Especially my church family, I pray my mom & dad, & sisters & brother, would get saved. I would like them to be a part of my church family too, I love them & miss them so much, but I have to do what God tells me to do. I try to avoid going to places where they are drinking , & stuff, so my family is lost they do all the drinking & stuff, so sometime I have to leave. I rarely get invited to party's, & stuff, but that is okay. I pray I can be an example to them, & something might come out of it. Any way as far as my OPINION goes, I am entitled to it sometimes we need to keep our mouth shut, but we don't. That's what gets us in trouble, well it does me. I don't know what this blog is about I am just rambling on. Today the Cowboys lost too bad so sad. It was a good ride while it lasted, but man I wanted them to play the Patriots in the Superbowl. I do get bummed out about it, we went to drop of Johnny at his house, but I said not a word, I just kept thinking how the Cowboys lost, I will get over it, it is done, till next season. Just looking forward to my vacation now. Till next time my fellow blogger family.

What is hate My Friend?

dislike intensely; feel antipathy or aversion towards; Antipathy - a feeling of intense dislike. How can some one be saved, & hate some one so much, if you have so much anger, you need to get right with the Lord, You may need to check up, to see if your saved, check up buddy. You know who you are then you wonder why people don't want to be around you, watch your self you are so full of yourself. Love you man , but come on, you make it so much harder for people to be around you. You make yourself to look this way, no one has to say anything your actions speak louder than words. You say you love some one, but you don't show it, love is an action you show it, my wife always says. You don't treat some one you love like dirt, your digging your own grave I know you have nothing to lose, but you have a lot to gain if you change your action, if you get saved , you might want to start with that, I t may not sound like it, but I am not angry @ you, your lost, is all I can get out of your actions. I will pray for you so hard , I will shed tears for you, you keep sinking & sinking into your own little depression sir. You have lost the one dearest to your heart, & you ask yourself why ? You shouldn't you know why. The sad part is that you think your innocent in all this , but your actions are speaking so loud my friend. You think you can hide behind your anonymous or putting some one else to comment, that is straight out cowardliness, do it right man do it the way it's suppose to be. You broke it, fix it, is my advice, own up to it, be a man for once in your life. You call me trashing out the other person involved, how in the world is that suppose to want me to help you, you have to help your self first, own up to it. I am not choosing a side at all, I don't know your story, & that is the truth. You made a choice of the words to come out of your mouth, & your actions, Lord know what you did, but you need to deal with it, stop being such a baby, & fix it, maybe time is my advice. Don't annoy. Stop being so jealous, you going nuts by your self. I am not going to sugar coat nothing, you choose to be who you are, you choose to be mean, you choose to be unhappy, you do it, now your the victim give me a break, be a man. I am here you called me, now I am calling you , & you wont answer why, huh, just stop already, take your time with this you need to get saved or your to backslidden it sounds like your lost. I just don't know anymore, I thought you would change, I thought you would make an effort, you cannot control another adult life, they are not children, yes I may act like a kid once in a while, you know chill out, have some fun, have some joy in your heart, be a kid once in a while. I was that way no one would see me smile, I was always too serious, but you know what I have a joy inside me knowing that I am HIS child, & I will be with HIM forever, when I go to meet HIM, that joy my friend where is it, is it really in you, cause your not showing it, I had to change. I was saved still acting like the world, but when you really get saved, you heart changes you want to serve HIM, you want to please HIM. Where is that Joy? I ask you my friend, you have lost it all, all that you love. You may still have your possessions, but an adult my friend is not a possession. You can only win that heart back, by coming to grips of what you yourself have done, yes your love must of said something, or done something displeasing to you, But you have to start with yourself. I had to change my way of life, I was on the verge of losing my love, @ one time, but I knew it was me. My love would tell me all the time what was wrong with us, but I , yes I, choose to ignore it, I choose to do what I wanted. Till that day came when the LORD, brought me to my knees, & put me in a position, where I finally saw what was going on around me. I was so engulfed with me me me me, always me, you live for your love, you live for HIM, learn that. It was PRIDE, my friend, pride cometh before destruction, where is your pride @/ Has it gotten a hold of you? Don't let it my friend, you have only material possessions to lose my friend, But, But, maybe, maybe some time in the future your love will come back to you, it is up to you, will you choose this day, night , hour, what you will do? Will you strive for something better in your life, or be stuck in a rut, with nothing. You are ultimately responsible, for your life, the choices you make my friend, yes they all have consequences, either it be good or bad you will have to live with them, or with out THEM, You my friend have chosen this path, there is no going back to this path, but you can make a new one, even better path, which path will you take, you have a choice, this path your on is of no good will come out of it. Make yourself a new path ,with better things in it, change the way you get down this path, I am not saying only you have to change, but it starts with you. If, only if, If you really do change then will this path be better. I am not saying for anything in the world, that this path of life will ever be easy, no path is smooth. But how you handle those bumps, my friend, calm, steady, grounded, rooted, will have effect on this path down the line. Stay strong, don't give up hope, just time to heal, my friend.
