Busy or Lazy?
Well, I have not written in my blog in a long time. I would like to say it is because I have been very busy with two boys and another child on the way but in reality it is laziness. If I really wanted to write I would find time to write. The real problem is I don’t know what to write about now days. Should I keep strictly personal, strictly tech, or strictly spiritual? Then I realized what I have always known “a blog is what you make it.” So I need to just get in the spirit of writing and write what ever I want to. 
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day
“Before I was humiliated I was like a stone that lies in deep mud, and he who is mighty came and in his compassion raised me up and exalted me very high and placed me on the top of the wall.”
Saint Patrick
Sound, Sound the Truth Abroad
Sound, sound the truth abroad;
Bear ye the Word of God
Through the wide world;
Tell what our Lord hath done,
Tell how the day is won,
Tell from his lofty throne
Satan is hurled.
Far over sea and land
Go at your Lord’s command;
Bear ye His Name;
Bear it to every shore,
Regions unknown explore,
Enter at every door:
Silence is shame.
Speed on the wings of love;
Jesus, who reigns above,
Bids us to fly;
They who His message bear
Should neither doubt nor fear,
He will their Friend appear,
He will be nigh.
When on the mighty deep,
He will their spirits keep,
Stayed on His Word;
When in a foreign land,
No other friend at hand,
Jesus will by them stand—
Jesus, their Lord.
Ye who, forsaking all,
At your loved Master’s call,
Comforts resign;
Soon will your work be done,
Soon will the prize be won,
Brighter than yonder sun,
Then shall ye shine.
Thanks go to Thomas Kelly for these great words.

Merry Christmas
Ahhhh, it’s a marshmallow world in the winter,
When the snow comes to cover the ground.
It’s the time for play, it’s a whipped cream day,
I wait for it the whole year round!Those are marshmallow clouds being friendly,
In the arms of the evergreen trees;
And the sun is red like a pumpkin head,
It’s shining so your nose won’t freeze!The world is your snowball, see how it grows,
That’s how it goes, whenever it snows.
The world is your snowball just for a song,
Get out and roll it along!It’s a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts,
Take a walk with your favorite girl.
It’s a sugar date, so what if spring is late,
In winter it’s a marshmallow world!It’s a marshmallow day in the winter,
When the snow comes to cover the ground.
It’s the time for play, it’s a whipped cream day,
And we wait for it the whole year round!
This is my favorite fun Christmas song!
2 Peter 1:3-11 (ESV)
Make Your Calling and Election Sure
His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire. For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins. Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to make your calling and election sure, for if you practice these qualities you will never fall. For in this way there will be richly provided for you an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Pressure
An oppressive condition of physical, mental, social, or economic distress
This is the way I have felt all week. It has been building up for awhile but I have tried to pretend it was not there. Laurie and I are not making it financially. We are not even close. I am having to look for work.. more work. Mowing lawns on the side has been a bad idea because I have not mowed in over a month. I started at applying on-line at several places in hopes of a quick response. My friends I ask you to pray that God will be with my family while I am away more often. Pray also for me because this will be a spiritual struggle because with a new job means most likely no time for anything else including church and reading. Pray also this will be profitable in a way to pull us out of this financial mess not drag us in further. I am not asking for donations because we are in this because of our own foolishness. I just need strength and prayer.
Another Blessing from GOD
We are having another baby!!! Thats right Laurie is seven weeks pregnant. We are so very excited to see how God has blessed us again. Please pray for Laurie as she already has begun the tiredness and some pain. And to answer the question everyone asks us, we don’t have a preference for boy or girl. We are just grateful for the gift God has given us.
