About Me

All you need to know is four things........1) I'm from Chicago, so I love the Bears, root for the Cubs, and no, I don't like the White Sox.....2) I'm skilled at many things like listening, being positive, playing drums - bass - guitar, shooting 84 at golf, keeping secrets of confidence, writing songs, and seeing the true heart of someone - yeah, so don't test me, I'll see right thru you....3) Saying what I think. Sometimes I wish I had that "filter" that would shut my mouth before I say what "pops" in my head. So if I am quiet, that's the only way I can to not say something....4) My favorite verse is Proverbs 3:5-6. I'd tell you what it is, but then half the fun is watching someone trying to find Proverbs....it's my foundation of faith. Thanks for coming by....------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ --One of my favorite quotes.....“Let it suffice to say, then, that God perceives the imperfections within us, and because of his love for us, urges us to grow up. His love is not content to leave us in our weakness, and for this reason he takes us into a dark night. He weans us from all of the pleasures by giving us dry times and inward darkness. In doing so he is able to take away all these vices and create virtues within us. Through the dark night pride becomes humility, greed becomes simplicity, wrath becomes contentment, luxury becomes peace, gluttony becomes moderation, envy becomes joy, and sloth becomes strength. No soul will ever grow deep in the spiritual life unless God works passively in that soul by means of the dark night.” – St. John Of The Cross; The Dark Night Of The Soul

Bukowski..

The way to create love is to burn and destroy ordinary concepts and to substitute them with new truths that run down from the top of the head and out from the heart  ~Charles Bukowski
