To all those I have ever wronged, hurt or made to feel less than good, I send out my most sincere apologies to you today. We are none perfect and I know that along my journey, I have left some feeling negatively towards me. But I cannot continue to be a people pleaser. I must listen to God. If I care for you, you will know it. I understand that these things are a two way street. Some of you out there don't even get in the car to meet me halfway. Don't come down on me if you don't make the effort either. Because if you truly cared about me, you would show it as well. No matter, I have God in my heart and the best wife and family I could ever have dreamed for. So whether your grief with me is petty or great, speak up or let it go. 

June 20, 2013 - Good morning, but more importantly, blessed morning if you you're up and breathing today. I heard a song on the radio this morning that said, "I had a birth I can't remember, and one I can't forget." Isn't that a beautiful thing? And you never will forget it. Sometimes the devil twists my head around and I might just say or do something real stupid, but God knows my heart. It was renewed by Jesus, and he now has a permanent residence there. So the hurdles don't mean a thing, because the finish line remains in sight. Thank you today and every day Lord, for sending us your only son.

Well it is lunch time and I am amazed at how much strength the Lord is able to provide us daily if we simply remain faithful and believe. My wife and I are making a major physical change in our lives to benefit our future children, our family and each other, and God is pushing us to heights we did not think possible, and that has just been in the first week. The point is, he can give this same strength to anyone who believes in Jesus Christ. No matter what the situation, God can provide unbreakable strength to his children in need. And never forget that the strength he lends you in one area can always carry over to more. So suck it up warriors of God and walk with confidence in your faith.

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding." 
-Proverbs 3:5

I was 23 years old when I gave my heart to the Lord in a little church in Corbin, KY. Up until that day I was lost. I might have thought that I had all of the answers, but God quickly showed me that those answers were to all the wrong questions. I won't spill out my life story because that isn't the intent of this blog. It isn't about me. It is about him, the great and most high king of kings. It is about a boy who was brought to this earth by his father, who walked in a vessel of flesh and grew into a man. That man paid the price for all of our selfish doings, evil imaginings and every other trangression we have committed. And there was nothing in it for him. There was no great prize or reward that he received for paying this price. He did it simply out of love. I have to go to work now, but I will return later to talk more about that great man, my saviour, Jesus.
