Remember When

Sorry I missed a day. I titled this blog "Remember When" for a reason. If any of you are near my age I know you can remember when times seemed so easy. My wife and I seem to go 90 mph 24-7. With two kids 6 and 8 it seems there is something everyday of the week. Between baseball, cheer leading, church, work, guard drill, chores at home, and anything else I did not think of. I can remember when life seemed so slow and simple. Remember when you looked at your parents and did not see stress in their eyes, hurry in there motions, and panic when something was needed to be done right then? Well I do or maybe I just did not see it. I came from a family of 3 I have 2 older sisters Shelba is 11 yrs older and Jerri is 9 yrs older. So basically I grew up by myself. I mean they were still around and in my life but not at home. I played ball, was in boy scouts, band, agri, and maybe a few other things but mom and dad never seemed rushed. How is that 20 yrs after high school time seemed to speed up 10 times but time remains the same? Today's world seems to be extremely FAST PACE with the computer technology, cell phones, text, email, etc. It seems no one can just hide and enjoy life peacefully.

Just a few things I remember:

1. Mom saying come home before the night lights come on.
2. Get up boy you are not hurt, just dust it off you will be OK.
3. Asking to go to a friends house on my bike and no worries.
4. Peanuts in coke.

I guess where I am going with this I think I am going to slow down some with my family and friends, enjoy the good times, save the memories, and try to live peaceful. I would like to ask that you join me in my new adventure.

Remember be kind to others, and as Jackie says invite a friend to church.

Day 2?

Well today is my 2ND attempt at this I hope I find more to discuss as time goes on. I'll start out saying how proud I am of my kids I have a son (8) and a girl (6). Mason brought home ALL A's today from school. And Savannah is doing just as well. I would like to say they got their smarts from their mom. (THANK GOD FOR THAT).
Speaking of God, HE is the MAN. I can not say enough about what HE has done in my life lately. Things are seeming to click, granted not all things are easy all the time and I will see my rain clouds again. BUT with HIS power behind me and HIS word before me I will be just fine.
The weather sure has changed today this morning I did my exercise and it was 34-39 degrees. I walk with Bro Ronnie (pastor) and a great friend Jackie. We walk 4 miles 4 days a week at 5:00am. I guess I can ran myself with some of the other crazy people in this town. Plus I mowed in 50 degrees as well.
Well I will close for now my kids are on their way to bed and I need to pray with them.
Remember, the TASK ahead of you is not GREATER than the POWER behind you. All you need to do is look up and SMILE.

Today is my first to start blogging I hope that I can continue this daily, biweekly, etc. Feel free to comment on things I write about and so on. Two reasons I am doing this is for one I would like to give my kids something to read in the future and second I have a few friends doing this so I can keep up the them and the times. I am looking forward to doing this and I am ready to start a great adventure with my family and friends. Lord knows they are what are important in times like today.
