All things new

Happy September everyone!  I can't believe that today is the unofficial end of Summer.  Tomorrow all of the schools will be back in session.  For some students this will be a welcome change from the lazy days of summer and for others well...well they will miss the laziness.  For me and my household it is a time of newness and change.

A few weeks ago we moved into our new home and our life has been hectic for just as long.  I thank God for this change as I believe He is the reason for it, and I also thank God that he gave us great friends and neighbors too.  They were there to help us move, and when my wife and I were drowning in a sea of boxes they threw us a life raft and helped us bring some organization into our home.  While there is still a lot to be done, at least we can walk with out falling over boxes.

Tomorrow also begins the first official page of the next chapter of our lives.  On Sunday we had our last service at our former church and this upcoming Sunday we will begin our time at a new church.  It was hard to leave a church where the first time in my life I felt comfortable at a church and with my faith.  I grew in that church, but in the past year my family and I have felt that we were not being fed anymore and we did not like the way things were going and felt it was time to move on.

We are looking forward to this next chapter in our lives and I hope that you all can join us for the ride.  I thank you for bearing with me as I let this blog kind of fall by the wayside.  Hopefully now that things are settling down here I hope I can find more time and focus to share with you on this blog.  Goodnight and God Bless you all!

Matthew 25:35-40

" 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
