10:25 am - Christmas Thanks
It's Christmas! Praise God, what a beautiful day it is out. Just a small reflection of the glory and joy that was seen and felt so many years ago at the birth of our Savior! I was up early, even though I could have slept in, I was just up. I jumped out of bed and looked at the beautiful day and then dug into the word and had my devotional. My family isn't opening presents today since we are waiting for the entire family to be here. I could careless. Christmas isn't about presents, it's about celebrating Jesus. We are going to the Island later for Christmas dinner. Yum!

Life is hard, it throws with it, it's annoyances and frustrations and like any other year this year has been no acception when it came to annoyances and frustrations and challenges. But through out all of that, I am so thankful for the rich blessings God has given me and the simple fact that He is with me no matter what I'm going through. We forget that sometimes. There are so many things I am thankful for. My dear friends, there are no words how much you mean to me, each of you are unique blessings from God Himself. The blessed ability to simply be loved and even be "in love" is something that I am just so thankful for this Christmas season. So many small things and stuff we just take for granted, I stopped today and just gave thanks. For a house to live in, for air in my lungs, for a awesome family, for good health, for the beautiful gift of music, my gosh and just so much other stuff the list can go on and on. So many blessings to be thankful for. I encourage you, give thanks this Christmas day, be thankful!!

Well I hope that everyone has a blessed and happy Christmas day. Remember, let us rejoice for today many years ago was born hope, peace, love, salvation.

God bless you all and Merry Christmas!!

08:18 am - Flaming Car
It's December 1st already. Wow where does the time go? Seems just like yesterday we were bringing in 2006. It is such a beautiful evening out. Nice and cool. I am feeling better, a lot. So I thank you all who have been praying for me. The prayers have been felt and very much appreciated. It's a good feeling knowing someone is out there standing in the gap for you.


Well this is kind of a myspace blog as well as a livejournal entry. I haven't updated in there in a while. Mainly because I guess there hasn't been much to write about. Nothing exciting. I did get a new computer which is cool. I've finally getting caught up with the latest and the greatest which of course will be out dated in a year. But I'm happy with it, and it should last me another 6 years.


This week has been so annoying fighting a cold plus just dealing with the annoyances that life throws at us. The big thing was the Lincoln catching on fire and just about burning down the guest house. "The Lincoln" is or should i say was my dad's 79 Lincoln Contential. My oldest nephew Keegan was useing it since they moved down here to go to school and work. I was in youth group with Chris when we got the call. We are guessing it was a electrical fire. The cars electrical system had been screwed up. It exploded a battery during the summer. So this stranger noticed smoke coming from my property and he came and warned Keegan. Now what blows my mind is either Keegan or my dad tried to dial 911 and they couldn't get through!! Can you believe that? Anyways they finally get through and they sent the fire dept and I think a cop and they got the situation under control.


We are all thankful for the help of this stranger. If it were not for him, the car would have exploded and took with it the guesthouse as well as my house and my brothers new trailer. Keegan had just fueled up.


So that kept everyone on their toes. Tomorrow is the clean up day. All that black soot and smoke smell is in the guesthouse. We are all going to pitch in and help.


Anyways I guess that's it. Hope you all have a great weekend! Write more later!

12:46 am - Nov
November is here. Wow. I'm looking forward to thanksgiving and all the yummy food. Well I haven't updated in here in a while. Not much going on. This week I finally got the AC in my truck fixed as well as a tune up and a faulty coil in the distributor cap that was shorting out. I'm hoping nothing else will mess up. Now I just need to have the transmission checked for leaks and getting the tires rotated tomorrow.

Not much else going on. Life is moving on and just trying to live it as best I can. God bless you all and write more later!

04:55 pm - Life
Life is strange, life is frustrating, life hurts at times. Why is it that so many times I end up looking up to people insted of Jesus? And you know what people always will let you down and fail you. And sometimes it takes getting hurt, to really make you realize that we NEED to keep our eyes and hearts upon Jesus and only Him. Because in Him there is true love, there is true friendship.

I don't feel like typing out all that I've been going through, but one thing I do know dispite the hurt, God is stilll there with me and He is the one who will never fail me or let me down or hurt me. Praise be to Jesus!!

That's all I have to say!!

09:28 pm - Mid-Week
Well this week has just been kind of frustrating. I rejoice in Wed nights and just the blessing it is to be with fellow believers and not only that to serve. It's like it says in the Psalms chapter 133 verse 1, Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! Wow how true those words are. Just hanging out and taking part in the games that were played tonight. It was such a blessing. Even just the simplest things such as a smile and a friendly hello. Wow what a difference that can make. Such a refresher on Wed nights.

Well the air seems so much cooler. I think we got a small front blow through. I am waiting for the real deal, arctic blast. When it comes through, the winds are howling and there's a major noticeable difference in the air. Enough heat, I want coolness haha!

Anyways, I dunno what else to write. So I guess that's it. Have a great rest of the week!!

09:04 pm - three in a row
Wow I'm doing a triple shot today as far as journal entries go. It's all good. Today consisted of working on the Friends DVD in memory of Patsy. Her memorial service is tomorrow. It's going to be a long day, up to Corpus and back again. Long and emotional day. Saturday not sure what I'm going to be doing, probably nothing. Gosh if I had the money I'd stay over night Friday in Port Aransas and sail on the Texas Treasure.

I'm listening to Alice Cooper and just trying to relax. Stuff on my mind as usual. It seems like I've been a emotional roller coaster lately. What is the term the teens now adays use? emo?? But it's ok. Life goes on, God is in control.

Ah well I guess that's it.

03:50 am - Come Home Running
Oh heart of mine, why must you stray?
From one so fair you run away
And one more time you have to pay
The heaviness of needless shame

Oh heart of mine, come back home
You've been too long out on your own
And He's been there all along
Watching for you down the road

So come home running
His arms are open wide
His name is Jesus
He understands
He is the answer
You are looking for
So come home running
Just as you are

Oh child of God so dearly loved
And ransomed by the Savior's blood
And called by name, daughter and son
Wrapped in the robe of righteousness

08:06 pm - Tonight
Greetings world. Not much has been going on as usual. It's been a emotional past several days. My brother lost a good friend this past weekend. I didn't know her to well but she and her husband were good friends. Anyways, it's a quiet evening. I decided to get a paid account again. I don't know why. I don't have money to start with but it's only 3 bucks. So that's not to bad. I feel down a little tonight. Guess it's just been a mix of the past several days and just some stuff that's on my mind.

I found out the von trapp children will be in Corpus next year. Best of all it's a free show, so heck I'm there. I'll get to see them three times next year. It should be fun. I'm listening to Alice Cooper. weee! I'd love to see him in concert one day.

Tommrow is Church, yay! I'm looking forward to it. Seems like my faith has been dry lately. I guess I just need to get stuff off my mind and give it all to God. How easy it is though to take things into your own hands.

Anyways, going to try and write more in here. I need to get my thoughts and stuff down here. So hope everyone is having a good week. God bless and write more later!

09:04 pm - Travels in 2007
Hey world, it is I again. I have not updated in this thing in forever. There really hasn't been much to say I guess, or if I do say it it's just repetitive stuff. Anyways, life is good, with the exceptions of it's ups and downs and this way's and that. I am just so thankful for God's son Jesus Christ, His mercy, and grace and forgiveness. With out Him I am nothing.

The big thing recently is I have laid down a budget and plans for my 2007 vacation and road trip. The trip will consist of visiting several areas including the northern united states. I will start out on a Thirsday and head to Dallas Texas where I will see in concert on Fri and Sat, the Von Trapp Children. They are the great grandchildren of Captain Georg Ritter Von Trapp. Sound of Music ring a bell? From Dallas I will make 5 day trek northward to visit three key cities that the Ingalls family lived. Mansfield, Missouri where Laura Ingalls Wilder spent the last days of her life with her husband. From there I will head up to Walnut Grove, Minnesota. They lived there for a few years and if you ever watched the NBC series this is where the show was based in. From there I will visit De Smet, South Dakota. Another key city where their family lived and many which rest there. From there I shall do the 1000+ journey back to Texas to see the Civil War Re-enactment and pilgrimage in Jefferson Texas. Spend 5 days there and then return on a Wed back home. It should be a fun trip if all goes as plan and nothing screws up between now and then.

So yeah, what else has been going on? Chris and Sonia are doing really well and I think they make such a good couple. What a blessing from God when He sends people into your life. Same ole stuff but good stuff with me, staying active at Church, at home and with God.

I guess that's it for now I have run out of stuff to write about. So you all have a blessed week and shall write more later!
