Out with the old.

This year is coming to a close.  What will I leave behind.

The OLD.

Ordinary

Lacking

Doubt(s)

Ordinary-What is commonplace or standard.  With no special or distinctive features; normal.

Lacking-Not available or in short supply.  Missing or absent.  Deficient or inadequate.

Doubt(s)-To be uncertain about; consider questionable or unlikely;  hesitate to believe; to distrust; to fear or be apprehensive about.

I don't want to be ordinary anymore.  I don't want to look like everyone else, act like everyone else, smell like everyone else, talk like everyone else, eat or not eat like everyone else, and I don't want to fit in like everyone else.  OKAY enough said.  I do want to be different.

I don't want to be lacking either.  Especially when it comes to my family.  I want my time spent at home not away.  I want it spent in long strides not short breathes.  I want my family to get what they need from me and not have to wait for it.  I will do my best.

I don't want to bring today's doubts with me tomorrow.  I leave them here.  I don't want to doubt at all.  Jesus help me.

New Blog.

I am going to start writing a new blog dealing with spiritual matters that will be a lot deeper than this blog.  Please read and comment on both.  I am interested in your views.  The new blog can be found here:  www.carnalwars.blogspot.com.

A Few Days Ago....

I had a vacation from work during the Thanksgiving Holiday.  I was off most of November and had a wonderful time with my wife and son.  

Well, a few days ago I went back to work.  YUCK!!

That night when I came home I was very surprised.  My wife and son had decorated for Christmas!!  They had lights hung outside, a wreath on the house, a Christmas ribbon on the outside door and the inside was decorated too!!  I opened the door to the smell of Christmas cookies in the oven, the sound of Christmas music on the CD player and the sights of presents with my name on them under the Christmas tree!! 

WOW.  It really did me good to see and smell and hear all this in my home.  My wife and son are more beautiful than I can express.  Thank you!!

I hope you begin this season as blessed as I am.  If not, I pray that God will bless you even more than you have been thus far.
