this tragic event has to be the hardest thing a family could ever go through.
please pray.
…certain things can remind me of my redeemer. yesterday was a very interesting day. probably the worst day i have had, emotionally, in a REALLY long time. in all honesty, maybe the worst day i’ve had, ever. this morning i got into the office. i did my habitual round of websites (myspace, facebook, fantasy sports @ yahoo, astros.com, livejournal, wordpress) and then i decided to sit down and play with photoshop. something that always calms me. i went to find picture that could be a good one to edit in my iPhoto library and ran across this one…
i love how my redeemer is faithful.
we know that every morning the sun is going to rise, and that it is going to set that evening. thats how it works. thats just how it is. i know that my redeemer is faithful to take care of me (i really don’t know what this means), to provide for me (im understanding this more and more), and to never leave me. i am thankful that i serve a God that walks beside me. that is with me in my struggles and in my pains.
please continue to pray.
its going to be an interesting couple of weeks.
an interesting day.
please pray.
an unspoken request.
thanks!
today marks the beginning of the most stressful week of my life.
kimb and i close on our house on friday.
or atleast thats the plan.
we are trying to work out a problem with the vinyl on our kitchen floor.
it is being a mean and not cooperating.
tomorrow morning i have to respond to a jury summons.
sometime this week kimb and i have to go to fidelity to make sure all our money stuff is ready to wire.
just alot of small things and a few bigger things.
all piling up.
within 7 days of each other.
if you could, pray for peace and patience. pray for guidance.
thanks.

i forgot how much i love the o.c. supertones.
through this entire process dealing/healing with and/or from my cousins death i have seen something that has made me sick. that is the lasting signs of divorce. here we are in a time when we need to love and be completely unselfish but all we can be (because of the divorce) is selfish. asking questions like “what of his do i get?”, and making statements like “i am entitled to it!”. im sick of it. we are all mourning. how ’bout we just mourn and let the healing begin before we start dealing with all that crap.
through this i have seen the lasting effects of divorce. because of this divorce many years ago, there has been a wedge shoved between former husband and wife that will never be removed; between dad and daughter that will never be removed and that wedge is causing more problems than ever at this moment.
i have been watching this closely simply because i will be getting married in a couple months and it is my plan to never cause my family to experience the lasting effects of divorce. it is my aim to love my wife with every ounce of my being. to love her. to serve her. to care for her and to play guitar hero with her until our fingers are numb. and i am confident that she will do the same towards me.
this just hurts. death is never fun. ever. but this situation just adds another log to the fire. please pray that God will guide our family in all upcoming decisions. we are truly going to need His guidance
i read this on a friends blog. too good.
“May God bless you with discomfort
At easy answers, half-truths, and superficial relationships
So that you may live deep within your heart
May God bless you with anger
At injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people,
So that you may work for justice, freedom and peace.
May God bless you with tears
To shed for those who suffer pain, rejection, hunger and war,
So that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and
To turn their pain into joy.
And may God bless you with enough foolishness
To believe that you can make a difference in the world,
So that you can do what others claim cannot be done
To bring justice and kindness to all our children and the poor.
Amen”
i was watching fox news this morning and saw this story. it was pretty awesome. the thing i think i like the most is that there were people protesting. i think if the governor and other law makers are involved, your protest isn’t going to do anything except get you on fox news. (looks like it worked) then today there is rain in the forecast for parts of georgia. imagine that! they have said that they would really need a tropical depression to stop over georgia for a day or two to really help, but at this point i think georgian’s will accept any rain, in any amount.
then while i was searching for the previous article i ran across this one. this really made me laugh.
and then i saw this advertisement on a website earlier.
aparently jesus was the president of a seminary.
later friends
i have a very dear friend who could use your prayers. my friend john sherrill’s wife gave birth to their third child a few days ago. the only thing is that their third child was born premature, at 23 4/7 weeks.
if you would please pray. everytime you think about it. pray. intercede for baby kyle and the sherrill family. thanks.
