Well not much is happening with me lately. Heading out to SB first week of November, work is slow, but we have a major PKI project coming up. Other than that trying to stay focused and keep my head up. Been riding a lot, and looking forward to the beginning of the NBA season. Will try and write more soon.

My new Toyota Truck that use to be Melissa’s, then Ig’s then Maria’s Thank you guys!! I love it.

Corinna and I went on a short ride towards the Grand Canyon. Only words I can think of is sweetness and thank you!

At church Sunday I publicly gave my life to Christ.  Personally I had accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior, but I had never publicly done anything about it. It was an amazing experience. My pastor preached on this Mark 5. But before diving into the scripture, he made this reference: He had several different paint buckets on the floor and the reference he made was about some being like paint buckets with paint inside. Are we the kind that just sits there in the shed, lid on getting hard and crusty? Or are we the kind that like the spray paint can gets shaken and sprayed all over? Well, for a long time I have been feeling crusty, old, tired…The kind where even with that little tool to open the lid isn’t quite enough. You have to get the monster screw driver and hammer to open the lid. And when it is open, there is that layer of dried old paint that must be scooped out before you can even begin shaking. This past year has been rough for me. So my normal reaction was to close up and stuff it down, let it get hard. But God has a plan for me, and it cant happen if I am crusty, hard. I was shaken Sunday, not only by Pastor’s use of paint cans, but by how wonderful the holy spirit can lift my spirit even when times are tough. You see Mark 5 tells the story of a man possessed and Jesus comes by and shakes him up so much that even the demons tremble in fear. Nothing can stand in my way as long as I have Jesus. Even when I feel crusty, or tormented by life, or circumstances, everyday things that weigh you down, know that Jesus can save and bring restoration to your life. So, what kind of paint are you? If after reading this you are curious head over to Download Sermons and hopefully within a couple days the August 9th sermon will be available.

Father, I ask You to bless my friends, relatives and those that I care deeply for, who are reading this right now. Show them a new revelation of Your love and power. Holy Spirit, I ask You to minister to their spirit at this very moment. Where there is pain, give them Your peace and mercy. Where there is self-doubt, release a renewed confidence through Your grace. Where there is need, I ask you to fulfill their needs. Bless their homes, families, finances, their goings and their comings. Amen.

Happy 14 years sweet heart! Love you. You are my best friend, lover and wife.

Well since my last post I haven’t had the energy or desire to post anything. So just a quick update for those few readers out there. Corinna landed a job working weekends at Grand Canyon Harley Davidson, she is very excited. Work for me is very busy and I don’t have any breaks in site. We are getting rain here, feels good, nice and cool. Oh, been listening to Motely Crue lately…wow bringing it way back, Maria do you remember when you saw them in concert?

Well last Sunday was bitter sweet. First it was my moms birthday she would have been 68 years old May 3rd 2009. I couldn’t post anything that day as I still break down and cry when I am reminded of her. I love you mom and miss you so much. Thanks to my sister for posting this awesome picture.

Rewind the Remix

Check Lebron looking too cool, watch your back man!

Never will I get tired of hearing this song. It is such a moving song for me personally that when I hear it from a different artist or group it stirs up a different emotion and feeling. But the feeling that always comes up is the humbling feeling of forgiveness. The words “that saved a wretch like me…” ring true. How could God save a wretch like me? But then the amazing grace our Father in heaven has for us is over powering. So much that the doubt and question is blown away. I pray this may stir something in you as well.
