Below is Natalie Grant's 'Held', about a mom who has lost her 2 month old child. You MUST listen.Please don't leave without leaving a comment on the page! Oh, and please subscribe to my blog! You'll get news from the corners of the empire once in a while!I've a couple of videos in my favorites that will impress and give a laugh hopefully. One must not take one's self too seriously.Listen to the song Unwritten, by Natasha Bedingfield, says alot about me. I'm 40, little bit overweight, but not too much. Will be great to have as a pen pal / friend as that is all I'm looking for in life, right now. I'm very spiritual, but NOT religious if you know what I mean. I pray at least 6 times a day for the people in my life, normally quietly to myself, though I have begun of habit of getting on my knees at night and humbling myself. Sounds silly but there is something to actually going through the motions that makes you feel small and it's good to feel small once a day. I don't know, it's what I do! I am NOT judgmental and don't like people who try to tell you what God wants, thinks or judges. Too many people out there are messed up themselves, including myself. I look inward and to God to improve who I am and I try to find compassion for all my fellow man, not damnation. I live in Conroe, if you're from the Houston area you know where it is. 'Used to be' a introvert, but am expanding my social skills as I have found out that life is not work, it is relationships, and it is the quality of those relationships that measure your life. Too bad I had to hit 40 to realize that!I'm a vet, did 2 tours in the P. Gulf back to back, been though the Mediteranean, Italy, Spain, Africa, Red Sea, Indian Ocean, circumnavigated South American via the Panama Canal.So I'm dedicating myself to trying to 'get out' more and do things with people more. I'm currently in Colombia, as in South America. I'm about a hour flight from the captial Bogota in the mountains north of a town called Yopal. We are trying to get some gas turbine power packages on line. They should provide power to a hundred thousand homes that either never had power or had to live with rolling blackouts as part of life. I am protected by the army and they keep the guerillas from abducting us. Maybe we can make a difference in the world here. That would be nice and I'd like to think my life has a greater meaning than just serving myself, to maybe do something that doesn't just have a temporary effect, but those are still good too. I have 2 wonderful boys 10 and 11. They are empathetic to their fellow man and not jerks, they make me proud, despite the problems that they get into. It is the quality of their hearts and the generosity of their souls that impress me the most. They will become good men and I plan to always be a large part of their lives to make sure that happens.Keeping faith is hard sometimes. Really hard sometimes. I know sometimes when I pray, he must say, "Him again!" But what can you do? Seems like the world is full of terrible things, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Hugo Chavez in Venezuela, North Korea, Conflict worldwide, suffering and Cancer and our loved one's who are dieing from it. Then I look at the little things in the world, but mean everything to me, both of my kids, my ex-wife, the person I’m trying to become, ALL the people in my life, the hopes in my heart, the prayers that I make each day, and that makes it ok. I look to these 'relationships' and they bring me joy and hope. Honesty and Loyalty are qualities in such very short supply these days, Honesty most of all. I never appreciated just how much and how far people will go to maintain a lie and deceive. It still just freaking amazes me.I drink very little but have no problem with it if it is treated like everything, in moderation. Not to say that I haven't been completely hammered many times in my life and will again I'm sure, I just don't make drinking a must have component in my life to have fun, but it is nice. I don’t smoke, but did chain smoke for many years, I think that I’ve been a non smoker for 5 years now, maybe longer. Still like the smell of a freshly lit cigarette, but hate the taste. Goes to show how strong that addiction was / is. I’m sure if I started smoking, it would be a matter of days and I’d be a pack a day again.
Sense of humor is broad, from the complex and dry to the slightly immature and slap stick, hence the 'Spaceballs' flash. Finding humor in things I never saw before on a daily basis! EEZ So Crazy!
I love my family every one of them with all my heart and soul! Starting to go a little crazy from the confinement in the camp here, but luckily I've good and loving people who email, skype, and IM me alot. God bless them!
I feel like the sun is on my face for the first time in so very long. As cool raindrops roll off my lips and the smell of the flowers tingle in my nose. The tinge of ozone and the angry rain filled sky surround me as I feel the heartbeat of the thunderhead as it draws near. A cool relaxed happiness is filling my heart more and more each day. Can't seem to get the smile off my face these days.
