It's Sunday evening, sitting here, looking out the window, I have this feeling of total peacefulness. I have not felt this peaceful in a long while. I have been on this journey, a journey to find my cause, to have that relationship with God that I have so desired over the years, yet, somehow never did. I'm finding my way, I'm finding that relationship with God. The closeness, at the mention of his name, the peace that surrounds my being. like a best friend, knowing all your dreams and desires. So simple..., so powerful... and so true..., in the words of Pastor Rick Warren "I love... God!!!, I love God and he, he loves... me!!!". When Pastor Rick stood on the stage and said those words, that was my moment!, that was me!, that was exactly how I was feeling!!!. That is how I feel now!!, that burning, deep within my soul, my being, so real, authentic and true!!! God I Love You!!! and I know you Love Me Too!!!

No post in a long while, what is wrong with me?! guess I've been kinda...busy, yes that's it!! I've been busy and uninspired!!, so here are a few funnies I thought I would share. I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason, took my order first. 'I'll have the strip steak, medium rare, please. 'He said, 'Aren't you worried about the mad cow?' 'Nah, she can order for herself.' And that's when the fight started..... One year, a husband decided to buy his mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a Christmas gift. The next year, he didn't buy her a gift. When she asked him why, he replied, "Well, you still haven't used the gift I bought you last year!" And that's how the fight started..... My wife and I are watching Who Wants to Be a Millionaire while we were in bed. I turned to her and said, 'Do you want to have sex?' 'No,' she answered. I then said, 'Is that your final answer?' She didn...

Over the past week, I have heard some funny conversations and sense I'm about all things funny and hilarious thought I'd share a few. My phone rings, it's my cousin, I say Hello, then I hear " I love you man, thank you babe!" then I hear my cousin say " I love you man...". My cousin, showing God's love, had just bought a homeless man dinner. My 10 yr. old daughter and I in my hubby's compact car, not my SUV on the way to the store, we pull into the parking lot of the store my daughter says " momma...that car looks an awful lot like daddy's car" I say "ELAINE!!!! WE ARE... IN DADDDY'S CAR!!!" I have no words, just suffice it to say I'm scared!!! My 5 yr. old crying, running down the stairs, I say what happened?! what's wrong?! my 5 yr. old says "ETHAN GAVE ME A TEXAS WEDGIE!!!" What is a Texas wedgie???!!! I have no Idea!! He then runs over and hits his brother and says "NOW PULL IT OUT YOU BIG BA...

25 Random Things About Me, In No Particular Order. 1. I climbed the stairs all the way to the top of the Statue Of Liberty and looked out through the little windows in her crown, it was amazing...!!. You can no longer do that. 2. I use to dye my hair purple/plum. What was I thinking?!!! 3. I went to a funeral in Tepic Nayarit, Mexico. a lady at the church in Tepic where my Father ministered at, died. we attended her funeral. She was in an open casket with her eyes open and her mouth in a full on grin with her teeth showing, one gold as I recall. The casket was covered in clear plexiglass so you could see, but not smell. We had to wear vail's and walk with her through the streets of Tepic in the, evening!!. I was just a kid and totally freaked out by this!!! 4. I once shot a rifle.

I once drove, straight through, from Louisiana to San Diego with m...

Rose was a young Puerto Rican woman who grew up in a very faith filled home. Even though they were poor, her mother taught her at an early age to trust God above everything. By the time she was old enough to go to college, Rose found a way to pursue her education - again something that she credited to her strong faith - and became the first member of her large family to graduate from college. She then married and was hired by a large investment firm in New York. Even though her job kept her busy, she found time to attend Church. When her friends threw parties, Rose made up goodie bags for them that included candy and make-up, but also a prayer book. When a member of her family couldn’t pay their bills, Rose secretly paid them. When someone in the family got into trouble she bailed them out of jail. One night Rose had a strange dream. In the dream Jesus appeared to her, dressed in a white robe, standing on a cloud of smoke. He was beckoning her to come to him, telling her not to worry, ...

Wow!, what a year it's been. Last year I turned 40, I am still in shock! although it's now even more shocking that I am about to turn 41! holy toledo, sweet, mother of pearl...! I am totally freaked out! about this new stage, I feel like a 25 year old in a 40 year old body whose subjects(especially my teenager) just don't get it!!. I also began my spiritual journey (as I like to call it) last year, I don't know if I have been so extremely busy with life or just lazy. But... I have lost that personal relationship with God that I feel sure, I once had. My question now is, did I have my own relationship with God? or was is my parents relationship with God?. I'm a PK, so that in and of itself is another whole issue that I am trying to work through. I feel confident in this new year, that I will have that personal relationship with God that I am so desperately seeking. Exercising, it feels great,I worked out plenty, but not enough for me, so this year is my year to kick ...
