Apologies for the abscence

It really has been a little bit since my last substantial post on here. Now it is funny because quite a few of the blogs that I have read on blogging suggest that you do not apologize for not updating frequently and just blog! Okay, I get that. I suppose that if you have followers who enjoy your blog they would probably prefer you blog about something of substance rather then wasting the five minutes reading an apology. Then you have someone like me. I have a whopping one follower (who I am grateful for) and it seems that I am making, barely, a post a month apologizing for not posting more. It seems a bit strange doesn't it?

Well maybe that is just the thing. Maybe I am lacking followers because...well...my blog is lacking. I may have a few return readers, but they do not decide to follow me because there is no real consistency around here. Now I do not want to misconstrue my intentions here, I am not doing this to see how many followers I can get or how popular this blog can become, although I would be lying if I didn't think it would be cool to obtain that, butnI want this to be more of a positive and inspirational blog. I would like to know one day that I helped someone through this blog. My intentions are not to be boastful about it but to just share the light of Christ and pass it on to someone else. After all is that what I should be doing as a Christian?

I pray that one day that will happen, but I also pray for the words to put here before you all. I am far from perfect and a saint most definitely I ain't, but hopefully the words start to come and the pages of this blog become filled and I know that when it does all praise and glory go to Him who makes it possible!

God Bless,

Brian

" 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ 37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ 40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ " I ask for prayers today and traveling mercies as we take our youth to the city to prepare breakfast for the homeless. I hope that they understand the importance of what they are doing and the impact that it could have on these people's lives. I thank you Heavenly Father for this d

Here We Go Again!

Here we go again. Where are we going, I am not quite sure. In order to get to our destination we have to start somewhere, right? Actually this is more like a restart . You see, since my last post on this blog, which happened to be January 1, 2016, ALOT has changed. In the almost nine years since that post, there has been a global pandemic, huge divisions in this country, and host of different things on the personal level that at times still has me saying, "what the heck is going on?"  I can't say exactly why I stopped updating this blog at that time but taking a stroll back down memory lane shows that I really wasn't all that consistent back then. So I guess you can say that that much hasn't changed. I always have and still do struggle with being consistent. When I started this blog all the way back in 2011, I treated it like I was making posts on social media, after I quit smoking in September of that year, this blog turned into more of a place to sha

One Week Down!

I know, I know...I have fallen behind on my 30 Day challenge. I am not too far behind so hopefully I can catch it up soon. I am past the point of feeling that I have let myself down. This month is the first month that I have had so many consecutive posts since I started this blog that I am quite pleased with myself actually. Just keep on bearing with me. Everyday I am trying to think of ways to makenhis blog a little bit better, a little less...blah. Don't get me wrong everything that I right is meaningful and true, but I need to incorporate more photos, videos, and even fonts. Again I say, just bear with me! If you happen to be reading this post an are trying to figure out what the title means, you are about to find out. When I say "One Week Down" I am just referring to my progress with becoming smoke-free. It has been one week since my last cigarette, and I am feeling really great! I can honestly tell you all that this time feels so much different. I know that the big
