Welcome, and Enjoy.

this blog is one outlet that i have for my thoughts and emotions, an online journal if you will. it is my life, or that is what it has become. i started out with not knowing what i wanted it to be. at first it was a place to just relay some funny things going on in my life like the Chick-Fil-A Chronicles. then it turned in to a place to post quizzes and the like that i thought amusing as time has gone on i have shared much of my person life. and after a few years of writing i realized what this blog is about. it is about me. all these thing that i have written about are about "where i am in my life".

* note - i almost never capitalize anything and i do not spell very well, and my grammar is not the best.

Song Writing

on saturday mornings i get together with a friend of mine and talk of life issues and our relationship with God. so one morning we were talking about God's love for us, and how it never fails. we decided to go outside on the deck and pray.

as i was sitting there and listening to him pray, the sun come out from behind the trees. i could feel the sun warming my face. so with my eyes closed i look up in the direction of the sun and let it radiate on my face. while enjoying the sun i got to thinking about our talk about God's love. i started thinking about the way God's love radiates to us, much like the sun on my face. this lead me to thinking about the moon as well. how it reflect the suns light to us in the dark night sky. and i compared that to our own lives, how we are to reflect the love of God with our lives. how we are the representation of Christ to the those that are in the dark.

when we finished praying i told my friend about what i was thinking. he inspired (and challenged) me to write my thoughts down, not just the details but how it might make a good song, so i did. i have never written a song before, so i spent a few hours working on it. then this last saturday we sat down together and put music to it and did some fine tuning. so here is the finished product.

On Bended Knee

I feel the sun, warm on my face.
Much like your lo—ving embrace.
Providing light all of my days.
So I can see all of your ways.

Chorus
You hold me in your mighty arms.
Where I am sure that none can harm.
You lift me up and set me free.
So I can kneel on bended knee.

The Moon reflects the golden sun.
My life replects your sacred one. (Jesus)
And in the dark the light shines through.
Your Love is shown always to be true.

Chorus
You hold me in your mighty arms.
Where I am sure that none can harm.
You lift me up and set me free.
So I can kneel on bended knee.

You hold me in your mighty arms.
Where I am sure that none can harm.
You lift me up and set me free.
So I can kneel on bended knee.
So I can kneel on bended knee.
So I stand tall on bended knee.

i do hope to get someone else to sing it, when i can get a recording i will post it.

The Fun Adventures Of Life

life has been busy. tomorrow is sunday and i plan to spend at least 13 hours at church. i know what you are thinking. 'how can you worship God that long?' well i will tell you. i should be getting there about 7:30 a.m. for band and singer practice, as the sound person i am usually there for this. however we also put some different speakers in on thurday so i want to be there for the finial sound check. then i will have service to run. after that i will be working on some video stuff for the evening service, since it is the last sunday of the month.

we are doing a video testimony with one of the young married guys in the church. so i have been working on the editing, and having a great time at it. we are planning to do more videos, so the guys and i who have been working on the videos came up with some ideas. one is that the testimonies will be call 'Sketch Pad Stories' and with that i have put together some neat effects. i also have been working on some pictures for a production logo called '300 productions' which is based on Gideon and his 300 men.

work has been really busy as well. but i think that will need to be for another post. i am currently sitting at Village Inn with a friend so i will have to check in later.

Ending 2010

we the end of the year is nigh, i have been absent most of the year. it has been a difficult year with the kids, and being part of 4 weddings, changing jobs, etc.

the kids are doing well and though we have had are ups and downs, we seem to be getting through it all. i am loving the new job. i like working days and i am really busy, which is a nice change. i still have a lot to learn, and that is what i love the most.

i have decided that i do not want to start any kind of relationship anytime soon. i am leaving that in Gods hands; His plan, in His time. but that does not help with the loneliness and the depression that i experience. i have been depressed a lot this last year, and that is why i have not been writing.

plans for this next year:

-i hope to work towards getting out of debt.
-also my daughter graduates this year. i have that to plan for.
-some of my brothers friends and i are planning a trip to New York state this next fall/winter to see him.
-also i plan to start writing. i do not know that it will be on this site though. i have some story ideas that i really want to start working on. i just have to find the time to work on it. i have about 4 story ideas in my head, all of which would have to take place in different universes. one of them could easily turn into several books.

anyway, i hope ever one that is out there is doing well. i will try to be around more.

Life As Of Late

I struggle against the waves to keep from going under. The gloom swirls around me, and joy fades like the setting sun. I fight to keep my spirits from the murky depths that pull me down with a thousand hands. Oh, how i want to surrender.

I know it has been a while. been busy, and depressed. life has been difficult, but i am getting by. on a positive note. i got a new job with the same company. i am going to days, and the other building. i will be getting off the phone and working desktop support.
