I’ve been thinking a lot lately, mostly about life the universe and everything. Not in a Douglas Adams way but a real and life shaping way.

I have tried to live my life with the attitude that Gods got this. Do what I’m supposed to do and trust God for the rest. This fly’s in the face of what the world wants you to think. The majority of people will tell you that is an outdated and naive way of thinking. For awhile I was able to just let the worlds opinion slide off my back. Somewhere along the line I forgot to ignore and instead fell in line with the rest of the world. Once you let that happen, then all hell breaks loose, literally!

Now here I am, at an odd cross road in my walk. I know which way I need to go, but need to find the strength to make that trek. Now that’s the hard part, finding the strength.

Just a quick post. I am editing photos now and hope to put up some sort of photo essay within the next few days. Just a stroll down memory lane for me.

I must say that Anna wasn’t too impressed. It’s hard to explain to her the memories associated with things that are no longer there. Most of the buildings are still there, but most of the businesses are long gone. The park isn’t as cool as I remember it. They have put in too many child safe (read: crappy) things.

Oh well, all things change except God who is always good. The one constant in our lives that we can count on.

Yeah, title is from a Motley Crue song. Has nothing to do with anything.

The last few weeks have been strange if anything. Normally this is where I would tell you how horrible it all was and other woe is me crap. I’m going to skip that this time and just say God is good.

I am currently fighting Indiana weather for a chance to get out and do some photography. It’s in the 70′s right now, by Saturday there’s a chance of snow! I’m ready to move now.

Almost

Again I pray that God will bless the coming year. That we may feel Him move in all our lives. That this country might experience a revival. I ask that He will guide our government to do what is right and just. I also pray that if you have a God shaped hole in your heart, you may come to know my savior, Jesus Christ.
Amen

I started my day disappointed because the snow the weatherman promised just hadn’t shown up. Then we had an awesome service at church and that brightened my day significantly. By the time church let out is was snowing, nothing much but at least it was something.

Usual Sunday stuff from there on eat, nap, and realize that winter finally made its ugly appearance. Now it isn’t significant by any means but for this time of year here it is odd. I guess we got about 3 inches of snow but with the wind what it looks like is an inch here and a few feet there. I would take pictures but it’s dark out and the neighbors really frown on my flash going off in front of their houses at midnight. Maybe if it’s still there in the morning I will get some of it.

Oh, here’s a link to my Facebook post about the church service along with a video of the skit our youth performed. If you don’t want to go to that much effort, here’s the video itself.

I love Halloween, I like getting the bejeebers scared out of me. Although that gets harder and harder each year. I have been told that because I am a Christian, I should not be celebrating Halloween. That it is a ceremony for evil. I say pish posh, there are lots of holidays with questionable backgrounds. I’m not going out and worshipping satan, nor am I planning on offering up a sacrifice anytime soon. God knows my heart, He knows that I love Him, He also knows that I have a penchant for scary things, He should know, He made me this way!

Anyway, I said all that to say this. I like this zombie theme so I will leave it up till after Halloween. Enjoy!

Still alive and kicking just waiting on my motivation to start-up. My stupid meds make it quite difficult to function on a normal level. Meanwhile everyone else is still expecting to you be as normal as they want you to be. I came to realize long ago that there are just some things I am not going to be able to do anymore. Now I just need everyone else to get that too.

On the non whining front, the weather has been beautiful here lately, hot but still very nice. We’ve not had any real good storms, which is disappointing, but I guess I will survive. Maybe next season I can take a trip to Kansas to chase for a week, maybe not though.

Anna and I have been riding our bikes lately and Becky is ready to start walking again. Between the two of them, they are going to kill me.

Time for some serious Bible study, see ya!

As we celebrate this Memorial Day, let’s remember not only those who fought and died for our country. We must also remember those who are still fighting. Let’s also remember the one who died for us so that we may live. Thank you Jesus for cleansing us of our sin. Thank you God for sending your only son to take the punishment for our sins.

In Your precious name Amen.

I meant to put this up yesterday but I was a bit stressed out. Anyway, I would appreciate it if you would keep my dad in your prayers. He is in the hospital with pneumonia. He said he was feeling a little better yesterday but still quite weak. Thank you all and God bless.
