Well How you have heard Johnny got saved, it was so nice, I see him walking around with a smile, it is so nice. Well we took off from Odem, last night about midnight, it takes 2 hr to get back home. We took off so late cause they had food, so you know baptist always eat no matter what. Well it was work Saturday today we weed eated, fixed the fence chopped down some little trees, the woman were cleaning inside, but they finished quick so they came outside to help, it was cool I felt like @ home @ ease with these people, they are my family, I love them all so don't mess with none of them. Nah we had a good time it felt good to be outside doing something, instead of vegetating inside the house. We went bowling with the church, and had some visitors, The Villegas Family from San Bene, we had A good time, like if I knew them from a long time ago, wait I do, well, Adri I had Algebra with in school, I went to school with her. Abel I went to school with him , but never talked to him always saw him @ school, but never talked to him, funny how God places everyone in this world, then you realize how small the world is. We had fun, is all I have to say. Then we parted ways, & came back to church to eat some cake which Lucy made. I hear it was good, cause I didn't have any, Good for me, yeah right, I had already ate before bowling, then Abel buys nachos for everyone, then Tony & Eva shows up, & buys pizza for everyone also, course I had to eat, he he. Glad to inform I won with 122 or 120 score real low , but I won the first game. Abel took the second game he had something like 131 or something like that. Any way we go back to church, J stops @ BK, picks up a burger to eat for himself, man he didn't even bring enough for anyone just him, j/k. We were stuffed. Lucy was outside with the kiddos jumping on the trampoline, kids pfffft. Then came home to check the computer, & blog.

Work was boring today, & easy, I hurried through work took no lunch to get done faster to leave to Odem, TX.
Well I left @ 3 pm to pick up my other boy Johnny, which I see every other weekend. Picked him up & waited for Mike from school, @ 4, so we left stopped @ Raymondville, @ Whataburger for my wife , & the kiddos, I had Subway. We went to church revival @ Bible Baptist Church in Odem, TX, to see Bro. Sammy Allen. Well the preaching was awesome, the Holy Spirit was moving. Conviction all over the house of God. I had to stand up , like Bro. Sammy Makes people stand, most of all he spit on me, hehe, I sat in the front 3rd row on the aisle side, yikes. Well he preached , everyone was at the alter, I was praying for my family, & I. When I hear Bro. Sammy dealing with someone about there salvation, so I start to pray even harder I start to cry, then I hear someone got saved from the pits of hell. Trusted Christ as their personal Saviour saving their soul from eternal damnation. I hear Bro. Sammy got tell your father you got saved, so I look up, & its Johnny, he is crying, telling me got saved, & just lost it I got "the can't help its" was filled with the Holy Ghost, just starting crying so hard, & hugged my son told him I loved him, & back to the alter we went to pray some more. It was great, he doesn't live with me, so I always prayed that the weekends he does spend @ church, would sink in his heart, prayer works, prayer really works. This trip was such a blessing, I can't believe people, have more important things, than to be @ the house of God. It is just a couple of hours of your week, you owe HIM, @ least that. Church seems sometimes to be out of habit, instead of going to worship, & use the scriptures you hear @ church in your Christian walk. So this blog was a little late , by a couple of hours, but it was well worth it.

Today was another day of dragging off the bed, I couldn't wake up. Well I was on my way to work, I pulled off the keys to our church, because I carry the little oval shape looking thing with my keys. I have my work keys, church keys, & personal keys, I feel like a janitor, he he. Well I thought I took off my church keys & when I got to work to open the office up, guess what, I took off the wrong keys, grrr, pfffft. So I call my lovely wife which does everything for me, & she brings me my keys, love you baby. Then I had a cup of coffee & that woke me up a little. Work was work, pfffft. After work I went to pick up Mike from the boys club, where he goes to skateboard. He is really grown up, I picked him & Toby up. Then we went to Boggus Ford to look @ some Chevy trucks that the sales rep called & told me about, but there was nothing to my liking. Then I headed out to Kellogg Chevrolet, awe I was lost in Chevy Heaven, I just heard the Hallelujah, j/k. I was the for a while there was a 2004 Z-71 Crew Cab with 80,000 miles on it it looked like it had been crashed or something, but no one came out to help me, so I took that as a sign to leave so I did, I have no peace i n my heart to get something right now. It is my flesh taking over wanting a truck, I do want a truck, but I guess till Jesus gives me peace to buy it, it won't be happening soon. I know I have to just be happy with what I got, but when I know what I got I don't want it to breakdown sometime in the future. I am even thinking of getting a car just for my wife, I just have to get rid of the van. Then I went to home depot to look for a screw for Ichabod, but they didn't have it. So I went to Lowe's, but they didn't have it either, so I am going to have to go to Harlingen Bolt, but till tomorrow or something. I also stopped @ Kellogg, after Lowe's, they have a really nice 2006 Z-71, but again no one came to help me so I left again. Then came home to blog, & catch up on blogs.

Today was a good day, cant really wake up early anymore, I used to wake up @ 5 AM, not anymore, I just keep snoozing the alarm till 5:45 AM. Work went pretty good, I finished early. I got ditched for lunch today, my wife went to eat lunch with her sister which is cool, I come home for lunch to catch up on blogs anyway. Today was my nieces birthday, ok she is not my niece, but I love her like family. She also calls me Tio Juan, I remember her when we met the Yanez Family back in December of 99, when I got saved. Nana was so little, she was about to turn ten. She has grown up before our eyes, right now I haven't seen them in a while so she must of gotten even more beautiful, all grown up. I gave her that name Nana, & it stuck with her, she was so little. I remember her & Iris would sing my favorite Hymnal, "In The Garden" when they first started singing they were a little off key , but through out the years they got better. I also remember her running into a tree, when we were playing kickball. Someone kicked the ball & Nana ran for it, but there was a tree there, she claims she thought it was me, but I was pitching the ball, & she was playing outfield. I think she was trying to impress the Cruff boys, he he. We went with them to the doctor, she scraped half her face on that tree, it came out from nowhere I tell you. Any way she is all grown up, she even has a boy (T-bone, grrr) courting her, anyway he is like her boyfriend, but no touching , watch it T-Bone, I'm watching you, j/k, but I am. Yanez' say his a good boy so I'll go easy on him he he. My David loves her so much, they just spoil him. Can't wait to go over there to see them. Road trip on Friday to go to Odem, Tx, Bro Sammy Allen will be there, he's really good preacher, what a man of God. And of course we go eat out afterwards. Night all, Happy Birthday to Nana.

Hey my title reminds me of Herbie. Today was a good day no coffee today, but I had a breakfast taco, someone gave me. It was papas rancheras, w/beans, no salsa gotta watch the heartburn. Lunch went good I finished the last of Lucy's cake, the guys @ work ate most of it. I finished work sometime after ^, work that usually would take me till 8 or 9 pm. We went over to J's house for some basketball & foosball, but Ichabod, broke the screw was not long enough. David was being a crybaby, until I took him aside & warned him if he kept it up, he was going to get spanked, the talk, you know, so he stopped till we left. Got home saw the news, then came to the computer to catch up on blogs, & comment. Missing Gramma on the blogside. Getting excited for vacation time, don't forget road trip to odem, on Friday. Just called chuck, but wont return my calls, I guess it is too late for his bedtime. Laters

Well today was a real busy day, and a Monday grrr, it was bad. Some guy punched in @ work @ 7 when he was scheduled for 9 AM. I told him he had top clock out, he wanted to give me attitude, I would of probably sent him home. Then I am fixing myself a large cup of coffee that Blanca @ work gave ne for Christmas, it was a cowboys mug of course. Well I though I had screwed the top back on, & when I grabbed it, it fell, I had coffee everywhere except on me of course, he he. Then we were really busy, my day went by so fast thank God. I was approved for my vacation on the end of January, going to Louisiana, Lord willing. I got sat, sun, mon, tue, & wed, off the last week of January, But my boss said he might, might need me in Austin to start off another company, A GE appliance delivery warehouse, sounds exciting. So I told him okay, but if it don't happen then I am going on vacation, he said fine. So pray we get the account, either faster of after in February. This account is a 2 million $ account, sounds exciting. I came home from work gave my honey a kiss, I told her J was coming over so she split, out of dodge city, j/k, J, she had to pick up Mike @ the skate park @ the boys club, then J fissed my camcorder to download to the computer, pretty cool. After he left , I went to Home Depot , my 2nd favorite store, I got the parts & fissed "Ichabod", "Put me in Coach". I also got extra screws for his buddy's you never know, with my strength & power, the lawnmower move, he he. Then I helped Mike with his school project, A poster board with glued on trucks off road 4x4 Chevy's, of course, some fords got in there, I had to fill in the gaps, some jeeps also. We finished later than usual, they went to bed late, then I blogged and now I am going to bed also, night all.

Today was a good day @ church I preached on inviting people to church, & what you will do for Christ in 08. Preacher preached along the same line, God knows what he is doing. We went to lunch with our other kid, @ Denny's, I had a lumberjack Slam, mmmmmm. I was watching a playoff game today, & I fell asleep, that is how boring it was, Tennessee Vs Chargers I think so boring. We went back to church @ night, & J beat us there wow. We didn't go out to eat after church, we came home to eat food from freezer, & the boys were eating cereal. I have nothing to blog blah blah blah, taking up space on the page, wanting to go to Louisiana., Hey Bro Sammy Allen will be in Odem, TX road trip this Friday.

Well today I didn't want to wake up, but seems Sis Kim had it a little rougher. We get to church to do visitation, it went well, I had my 2 boys with me, it was still great. We saw some people from church who used to help out on visitation, they acted like they were looking the other way, which is cool, God knows why they aren't visiting. My wife asks me where we were going, & i told her back to church all sarcastic like usual. Trying to be funny, they wanted to go out to eat, & she tells me Lucy is going with us, & i told "that doesn't sweeten the deal, " sorry Lucy. I still went I had nothing to do, but I had to cat like if I didn't want to go. Just then got home & did nothing @ all felt good to just kick back. My wife went to the mall to get a bigger ring for herself. Sorry J it is 12 am, but I am finishing off this post. I have my alarm going off, I have it set up for midnight to get up, & pray for some one that has been in my heart or that I can think of. Listening to my wife's pink ipod shuffle, i didn't know this little thing could hold so much music, I got it for her, for when she goes walking by herself. Well have to get ready for bed, & pray for my preacher for tomorrow, uh today's message, such a Lazy Saturday for me, I feel bad I know my kids want to go somewhere. They got to go to grandmas house , so that was some fun for them. Mike is up right now looking through he refrigerator, there is really nothing there, but you know you have to open it to check if something, has magically appeared in there from the last time he checked. He is so skinny, but never stops eating, makes me mad, I know some one like that, I wont mention any names just his names starts with the letter "j". I am feeling a little better than before seemed like I was going to lose my voice, but it didn't happen, so there that is my captains log for the day.

Sorry guys made it in 1:00 am , but here it goes, I was playing the playstation, Madden 08, just won the super bowl baby. Well it was a good day today , my wife ditched me for lunch, which was cool, that way i don't eat. I had some menudo in the morning Blanca @ work gave me. Of course I fad to have my gigantic cup of coffee. Work went by really slow since it was friday, & the boss wasn't around, but then towards the end of the day seemed like the phones wouldn't stop ringing. I am thinking of taking a couple of days off to go to Louisiana for a few day, miss my friends. Went to my moms for dinner today we had churches wasn't the best dinner, but it was dinner I didn't want my mom to cook. She is always cooking when we are there she really don't sit down with us, so it was nice she didn't cook. Some day I will remember Friday nights as a ritual, & so will my kiddos. Then we came home stopped by Boggus to look to see if they have any used Chevy trucks, they did but they were 07's too expensive. Then we went to Kellogg, which was so cool, Mike & i got off to look, Lust, after the nice shiny trucks, someday. Well didn't see anything that got my attention, but this 05 Tahoe, it was really neat. DD was in the car with David he was asleep. We got into the cars, the Tahoe had the doors open, so did this 08 Colorado 2wd, hey i fit in that little thing it was really spacious. Then we got in the 08 Malibu sweet ride had 48 miles on it, I couldn't believe they left these cars open. Then I called DD to see how she was doing, she didn't sound happy, just as i was walking to the 08 silverados, pretty, so we went back to the car & left. We got home, & I turned on the playstation to play my season I have going, so I finished it, D wasn't feeling good, STOMACH HURT, LOL. Haven't heard that lately from J, mmmm, he hasn't been eating out that is why, he he,. Well it is 1:24 AM, have to go have church visitation tomorrow, till next time bloggers.

Tonight I was watching the video of when we took Melinda to Louisiana, to surrender to the ministry completely. Too funny watching John do the shopping cart, Q-tip, sprinkler, & the running man , but the running man looked like he was having a seizure, lol. John found out how his bolo tie got broke, & we all started laughing. His bolo tie got broken by Melinda, & she didn't tell him for 5 years it was her that broke it, tan tan tannnnnnnn. He wore this bolo tie with everything he had, lol, poor John he wanted to be George Strait. Then we were playing truth or dare, it was was SO funny. Man I was so much lighter back then when I did the Atkins diet, man I lost 60 pounds in 3months, but I managed to find them back :( We have the video after the hurricane, where all the people have taken all there inside of the house to the curb. It was heartbreaking. John was also doing the impression of a nut stuck in a shell. Melinda is scared of carnies, lol. Miss you guys, hope to see you guys soon.

I was almost done for the day when chuck called me , but I was working so i couldn't answer it, when I got home I ate more caldo, which was very good, thanks baby. Well I forgot to call chuck back, I was on my way to church when he called me asking for prayer , of course i will pray for him , he is my brother in Christ. Church went really good stayed with the preacher & Sis Kim talked for a long time. I took some tangelos home, that Sis Kim gave my wife they were good. We had just gotten home when chuck called for some advice on some stuff I am sorry I couldn't help him out as much as i thought i could just pray for him. Then I started to watch Minority Report with Tom Cruise , but I had to turn it off it was to boring for me & my wife, it didn't get my attention, sorry J. We were laying down watching the news when I remembered I hadn't blogged so I am squeezing this one in. It's about 11:30 PM, till next time Bloggers

Yesterday was a good day spent it @ church with preaching & praying. The Pastor & I went to edingburg to harvest baptist church for the new years service. As we were going over there chuck called asked if we were going to church and what time church was @. I told him church was @ 7 pm but in edingburg he asked for directions & told me to answer my phone cause he was on his way. So as we are getting there , Chuck calls me again to ask for directions, so I told him again. We finally get to church @ a good time I might add they are about to serve the food. So I call chuck to see where he is @ & he didn't ans he has this weird call tone I couldn't recognize what it was I wasn't sure if if was gospel or country, but anyway as I am there we are talking to people there, then preacher leaves me alone grr, I don't know these people they keep asking me if I am a missionary. I go outside call J to see what he is up too, he was eating pizza, waiting for rob to call him for there traditional new years thing, where rob calls him when dinner is ready. Then I call chuck again, but no answer. I go inside preacher is there, then Bro. Yantz says for us to go first, alright cool, didn't hesitate of course. We finish eating, then we go pray, & sing, then Bro. Mark preaches, more singing a lot of special singing. Then we see a movie called FLYWHEEL, by the people who made FACING THE GIANTS, really good movie bad acting, but good message in the movie just like the first one, people crying and everything, by this time it was about 10 minutes till midnight. Bro. Yantz calls all of us to the front to pray, not before he picks up an offering for Bro. Mark to fix his van, they picked up $525.00, I hope our church can match that. So we go pray all in the front @ the alter it was pretty cool. Then we left, & I was calling everyone on my contact list on my phone, & wishing them a Happy New Year. Didn't wake up today till about noon, it was a good sleep, I rarely sleep in like that it was cool, & the blankets felt so good. Now J wants Mike to go cut his grass cause yard people are leaving cards @ his house to cut his yard, to funny. I will take Mike over there, Mike is collecting money to by a PSP or Playstation 3, I couldn't get him that kind of stuff for Christmas or his birthday to much money. I am afraid if I do they don't respect money & wont take care of it cause it didn't cost him anything. I will let him earn it not just bought for him & leaving me broke. Laters
