Thanksgiving

Today is my 1st of 4 days off and let me say that it was fairly good. I missed Sarah while she was at work and the kids were...let's just say the average 1 1/2 and 2 year olds. because of thanksgiving i won't have karate this week but it will be good to give sarah some extra time on her own. Today ponder the name Jesus, what does it mean to you and your family? For that name is the very reason that the pilgrims first celebrated and gave thanks for the first time.

peace out

thankful thursday.......

What is the worst thing you can imagine? Cancer, losing a child, going broke..... Today I wish to ponder this question, What is the worst thing to you? well for me it is to KNOW God's will and not being able to do it, worse yet, refusing to do it. the church decided to pay for my tuition and books for bible school, that is a huge answer to prayer. so I have transfered from not doing what God wants me to, to making a positive leap into His will.

So today I am thankful for a pastor who follows the holy spirit and is not afraid to lead the church. He just kinda told the board, this is what we are doing, like it or not.

He is so helpful in everyway possible. who would have ever thought that an "okie" named bill coons would turn out to be exactly what Grace needed.

Thank you Jesus for sending us the "perfect pastor"



what are you thankful for today?

Shalom be with you...lol


peace out

Disappointment

today, after checking my blog I realized that only ONE person (thanks Car) commented on my memories post, not even my wife!!!!

the Bible says that the love of money is the root 0f all evil. so I try to get rid of mine as soon as I get it. lol

the Indiana trip is coming up and my money has dissolved. I am so stressed and disappoointed that i can hardly breathe. how did we let money become such an overwhelming aspect of our lives, what happened to the days where if you made a couple thousand a month you were doing well? nowadays if you make that you are barely scraping by.

I am praying that I will get the money somehow to bring the girls here.

I HATE money!!!

freaked out by finances,

Memories

This blog is dedicated to all the infamous memories that I have created. so please, I am begging you, share your favorite memory of me. Be it funny, embarrassing, outragous what ever it is please share it. I would like to get 10 comments, so this means that Sarah and Carly have to comment 4 times each!!!lol

Vent, vent, vent.....

You know, sometimes you go through life and wonder why people are butts. every once in a while you meet someone who is who they are no matter what. Chris and Carly are no exception to this. they have always been good friends, and great "Catch phrase buddies". all this aside, i dealt with some really stupid people today. and I sure understand why some people go off the deep end. and if it wasn't for Jesus and fellow christians that I feel accountable to, I would probably go postal.

I must apologize for making fun of a guy at work that has tourettes. he is so funny but it is so catchy. and sarah just taught maya to say "Your a fffff fffff fff fffrea ffreak fah freak". rofl!!!!!!


well i gotta go and get maya more kewlaid....ttfn

peace out

What in the World???!!!

why has everyone been slacking on their posts. why has the only person who has encouraged me to blog been criticising my lack thereof? why do I find it so hard to do the Love Dare? The answers to these questions are not as nearly important as the answer to the following one. Why in the world is it sooooo hard to be a christian. Why is it so hard to resist the devil? I am in a spiritual rut that has lasted for years and I hoped that it would pass and I am sure that I need to more proactive about it........... any thoughts???

Failure

I hate failure. In fact, I would go so far as to say that failure gets me so mad that I feel it in the very center of my being. My attempt at the Love dare stopped when i had to make the list of things that were good about Sarah and a list of things that were bad. I couldn't bring myself to do it. so I have postponed the Love Dare until today......Lord willing I will make the lists when I get home.

wish me luck

carly, how is your dare going??

Peace Out,
Sam
