11 th Ann. Where does the time go?

Today is our 11Th anniversary, I got here some gifts , but of course I gave them to her early. I took her to Ciro's in weslaco for lunch its her favorite restaurant, of course she ordered caldo DE marisco (for you Anglo Americans it is seafood soup lol). We ate we talked we reminisced, about the years. The best years have been since we have been saved, actually those are the only ones we really remember. It has been fun , we have our ups and downs, but hey it comes with the territory. The question will be if you can survive the ups & downs. No marriage is perfect, but we (men) can be molded to the ones we both can handle. I have changed alot in our marriage, & the good thing is that I know it, & I live to make my wife happy. It is so true that saying if mama ain't happy ain't nobody happy. I will fail her, but I am glad she can look beyond that, and it is up to me to change. The Lord has blessed us so much, so we have so much to thank Him for. Last night J came over to chit chat, & I let him know what I got my wife. Then he asks me this weird question that stunned me, What did she get you? Hmm I said nothing. I never thought of that, it has never really been about me when it comes to these things, & i don't care, its about the women. Women always ask me at work, what did you get your wife? They never ask what she got me, weird. No matter what it will always be about her guys, so don't forget. I told my wife about J's question and she said "you got me". i said awwwwww where can i exchange j/k. I love her, but she still loves me more than anything, And I know it. Love is a action guys , show it.

Cold front comming

Isn't My Jesus wonderful, looks like he is erasing the clouds. Brrrrrrrrrr is getting cold.

Ummm You Broke It

J thought he broke this chair, it was funny. We were outside with paw paw just chating enjoying the breeze & mosquitos. It was so funny , but Bro Dale said it was already broken.

The SS School Lesson (New Creature)

I taught this Sunday school lesson last Sunday, and I hit a nerve somewhere. I only had one student show up it was the preachers daughter. Broke my heart, but oh well I will not compromise the word of God. All these teens claim to be saved, all of them. A new creature, 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. This verse caught my attention during my bible study. A new creature old things are passed away. I preach to myself too. You don't do the things you used to do. You don't go the places you used to go. If you are a new creature, you have the Holy Spirit inside of you, if you are saved. Everything you do you do it with Christ in you. If you see a movie with bad words, you have Christ watching that. If you listen to bad music & are saved you have Christ listening to that. Any kind of music that doesn't glorify God is of the devil. You have ring tones on your cellphones that are of rap, rock, or whatever kind of worldly music, that don't represent God, if it don't bother you, you need to check up. My son had a ring tone on the phone I used to use it had a rap song on there that came with the phone when I got it, I got under conviction told him to change it & he did. Guitar Hero I played it , I loved to play it, but you play all these rock music songs, I got under conviction & don't play it anymore, I told my sons that when we go to my moms house not to play that game anymore & they don't. If you play these songs, or listen to them & it don't bother you , you need to check up, you are suppose to be a new creature, it is time to check up. The devil was a musical being, if he don't get you to sin, he will get you with his music. You are a new creature, you have a testimony, you represent Christ now. You need to live like a christian, walk like a christian, talk like a christian. People can talk the talk, but can they walk the walk? The word christian doesn't mean much to the world anymore can you tell me why? Its our testimony some people claim to be Christians, but they don't act like Christians outside of church. They come to church like they live a godly life, but when they get out into the world, you can't tell if they are saved or lost. They act so wicked. The Bible says we are peculiar people. Deuteronomy 14:2 We are suppose to be different than the world, not act like the world. If people tell you they can't see a difference in you, you better check up. Better check up to see if your saved. You have to have been under conviction of the Holy Ghost. You have to see yourself lost on your way to hell, Knowing you need a saviour. Have you been changed? Are you saved? If you sin & God don't punish you, you better check up. Your parents wont spank the neighbors kids, why?, they spank their own. They are not their kids. God will take care of His own, are you His? If you come to church out of habit, & don't know why you are here , then get it right with Jesus. You need to come to the house of God to worship & learn about Jesus & grow in the Lord. What is worship? Worship is to honor, adoration, glorify, to Love. Do you study your bible? Do you tell others how to get saved & what Jesus did for you? If not why not, are you ashamed of you heavenly Father? If you come to church , because your parents make you come how are you going to love , adore, & worship Him. You have to come with an open heart ready to Worship. Have you confessed your sin, don't hang on to it. Go repent. Repent means to turn away from to feel sorry, & not do it again. Change it, repent.

SouthTexas Sand Angel

Hey this is David in our Driveway, we also call it the literbox. I told him watch out for the big chunks he he. He has a blast in the sand, by the way the sand was for my house, when they leveled it. They brought in 2 dumptrucks of sand when they leveled my house it was too much it stayed on the side of the house & the driveway. Most of the sand is gone, and covered with grass, but there is a little spot where David plays & tha cats do to j/k. You can see the incredible hulk in on the action on the top, and some other greenguy below I dont know who gave him these toys. He is having so much fun.

The Last Judgement

My Friend John send me this pic, I thought it was so touching. Many think they are on they way to heaven, but never trusted in Him, the one who could keep them from hell. You either accept Him or reject Him. Jesus saves. I have heard people say everyone is a child of God, I beg to differ. Is Jesus your heavenly father, if not, you know who your father is. Please, If you died tonight where would you spend eternity? It is so sad lost people who don't know Jesus, believe in heaven, but they forget that hell is so real. Or they choose not to remember there is a hell. It is so easy to trust in Jesus when under conviction of the holy ghost, but people tend to ignore Him. They think they have to do something to get to heaven, Jesus doesn't need your help, He did it all for you, will you accept Him or Reject Him.

Old Counrty Store

I got home from eating @ Bustagutt B-B-Q, & I thought it was pretty good. Well my son Mike wants to go to grandmas, so I said OK , so David stays with us. By the way this was after church of course , Baptist have to eat. Any who we get home after dropping off the Pastor (Mark Laiklam for those of you that don't know he he.), & J (well everyone knows who J is he he.). They were watching The Incredibles, which David says Mr. Incredible is me (So does my wife he he j/k) I think it is because he is strong.lol. David starts missing Mike so I tell him lets go to the store walking, he tells me okay daddy. I wanted to walk down the food.The store is about 2 or 3 blocks from my house. We take off, & I start remembering when I used to go to the little stores out in the country, when I was younger. I remember the screen doors with the springs on them that would make all this noise when they stretch, Also when they would hang bells to let them know when people would come into the store. I remember buying candies, like 90 some candies for a dollar, for tax of course, they were 1 cent a piece( hey there no cent symbol weird or I just can't find it). Childhood memories of a country store, I tried to find a picture online of a country store , but none that I liked. Anyway as I was walking, holding Davids hand, I thought to my self,"Self, will my kids ever know what a country store looks like? All they know nowadays is Circle K, well not anymore they are called Stripes now. When we were walking back I looked @ David, he is so happy he got a candy, then I noticed he would hold my hand. We continued walking, I would let go of his hand, trying to give him his sense of independence, I noticed as I would swing my hands back and forth, he would manage to hold my hand again. It felt so good that he wanted to hold my hand, I will cherish those moments, they will eventually pass, but I pray not. I want my boys to come to me when they need me.............Remembering.

Friday Night Lights

Friday Night coming back from my mom @ about 11 PM, we get home, as we are getting off the van we noticed a bunch of cops passing by really fast. All of a sudden they stop about 2 blocks from our house , & my wife asks if I want to go check it out. So we went, the fire department was there, medics, tow trucks you name it they were there news crew. As we get there we see a van upside down its a dodge by the way, there is some teenagers by the said no one was hurt thank God, then I thought of my camera so I ran home to get it got a couple of cool pictures, & video (that J showed me how to put on here). I thought it was really cool the way they flipped over van . The people in there were coming back from the bird bowl Cardinals lost. Well that was the end of our Friday Night. If you can go to my web album I will put them up there. This accident was a hit & run by a white impala , they left the front bumper there. The Impala rear ended the van while it was turning. The driver of the van was a teenager dropping of his girlfriend. I know so much yet I don't even know the people. Enjoy the Video.
