Running Scared!




Walking through the woods he hears something snap. The kind of sound that sends chills down your back! He turns quickly, and seeks cover behind a fallen log hoping to find enough shelter to keep him out of site! Who are these people that are after me? He ask himself! "I have done nothing wrong!" I just want to be left alone! As he lies there thoughts from the past start to haunt him. Making him weary of what may be to come. Finally mustarding up enough courage, lunging to his feet he makes a mad dash to the clearing.. An old mining shaft is on the westside of where he played as a kid, that he can hide out in for a while. Running scared, heart beating so hard he feels it in his head.. Only a few more steps and he will be safe and sound! Will he make it?




Many times in life we try to stay a few steps ahead of things that haunt us. We try to lock all the skeletons in the closet, hoping that they will be burried enough not to be found... But the fact of the matter is halloween is on its way ad thats when the skeletons come out to play. So during this time of year that is so simple and fun for children. It was not started for Tricks or Treats. So do something good durning this time of year and start to clean your closet by facing your skeletons straight on, so you dont have to be running scared anymore!

MY NAME IS OLD GLORY


As I laid there musket in hand, unable to stand. My hands trembling in fear, knowing that someone may be waiting there. I could not bring my self to bear what pain and agony I might endear.. But as I fought the selfish fight I brought my self to my feet only to realize, she was already flying there. Even though she was tattered and torn, and beat like never before, she was flying sky high for all to see with out mistake that you will not win this victory.. For this is a nation under God and by his hand we will carry on. Side by side I fight along with my brothers who died to carry it on... No matter the wager no matter the call..... This is the United States of America and we will carry on!

My heart goes out to all that has served this beautiful land we call home.. Thank you all for your dedication and honor to keeping us free.... GOD BLESS AMERICA

To give, give, give, give..... and never expect anything?

Growing up, I never had very much in the worlds standards. We didn't have all the fancy toys or my parents did not drive the coolest cars. We did not have the biggest house, in fact our house 99.9% of the time has been to small to fit our family. Let me tell you something though. We did have family. Yea, yea, yea. I know what your thinking.... I have a family too. I have a mom and a dad, and sometimes I have two dads and two moms due to our worlds skewed perception of what they call marriage. Well your wrong you do not have a family! That's right, you did not miss read what I said. YOU ARE WRONG. YOU DO NOT HAVE A FAMILY! Yes, I know you want a rebuttal. Well your not getting one. This is my blog. Family, what is it...... What does it look like.... How should one function........
1. Family, what is it- After looking over many definitions of what the word family means I have decided to write my own definition.
Family-"A group of people who are related, whether by blood or share common attitudes, interests, or goals and, frequently, live together in pursuit of the desires God has placed on there hearts!
You see a family has one sound.. You may ask well what do you mean by that... Well, family is very much similar to a band. When all the instruments are fine tuned and playing correctly, the band has one voice... Well I believe the family works the same way.... When everyone in the family is pulling their own weight in whatever form that may be, The family has one sound....

Now let me tell you why I have decided to blog on this topic. Last night around this time, my older brother and I were sitting in his apartment listening to music softly and looking at what we like to call our dreams! We began to talk about jobs, careers, dreams, money, and FAMILY. I looked at my brother Dave and I said to him, "Dude, I wanna be a wild man".. Dave's response was a laugh and then followed by what do you mean.... So I told him. I do not want the normal job, I do not want the 9 to 5 hours. I want my job to be the outdoors... He said, " bro, I know exactly what you mean". After that followed some small talk and other things until on the TV a thing about Alaska popped on. We both instantly were captured at the sight of the rugged Rock bursting forth from under the heavily coated blanket of snow.... We both looked at each other and said, dude I wanna go there so bad!!!!! Then Dave asked me the question,,,, Why do we love the outdoors so freaking much.... With out hesitation I responded........... BECAUSE DAD DOES!!!!! It goes back to that family thing,,,, same interest same goals, same heart beat..... You see Just like my father our whole family loves people, loves the outdoors and loves change...... All due to the simple fact of family..... But you say that doesnt explain why you like what your dad likes... But it does.. You see I also found another definition for family.......
"a group of products or product models made by the same manufacturer or producer" See we all are from the same bi-product.... We all are made in the image of God, and God placed each of us in this FAMILY, because he knew we all had the same interest and goals.... And when we all are doing what we are supposed to be We have one heart beat, and one sound and with that we could conquor any mountain or rugged terrain in our path.......The exhileration of reaching the summit of the tallest peak compares nothing to the thrill of the knowledge and discipline gained by each step of the journey. Most never see the summit for fear of the journey. Join me and my family on every step of our "journey" as we walk through lifes challenges. Our goal like the summit is not in the destination but the challenge and growth we will find in each others company as "iron sharpens iron" and the opportunity of a life transformed by the reality of the path.
I hope you can someday experience a family such as mine!
