You know, I was brought up Catholic.  And not a practicing Catholic… When I say I was brought up Catholic , I mean that is what I told people when they asked; like on doctors forms or even when I went into the Navy. It was more of just what I said. I went to Catholic school and went to church when the class went, but Sundays were reserved for fishing with my dad. My son made me the father of...

Prayer works! The family and I went to Tennessee this past Thanksgiving to visit my wife’s brother and his family. They have a small cabin in the woods on the side of a mountain overlooking a beautiful lake – it is so beautiful! The journey began Tuesday night right after LifeSongs Skate Night. My wife was home with the kids packing up and getting us ready to leave for our ten-hour drive. (I...

I know that “His time” has become, since the movie, a statement kind of like “For God so loved the world….” Well since my last blog I have had quite a few things that have happened. I felt so sick at times I thought I was going to die. I felt like “Where are you GOD!?” Then my wife lost her job of 15 years! Now, 10 years ago if that had happened I would have gotten really upset with he...

Wow,  we have had cold weather for more than a couple days. Even some schools shut down due to the threat of the cold. One of my biggest accomplishments in  life was when I joined the Navy and got to be a part of the freedom we all have everyday. In bootcamp I was in the Great Lakes, it was so cold my nose hairs would freeze as I walked outside! Can you say COLD, but it was not all bad. I was able...

Wow, this year flew by for me. I am not sure how others are feeling about this, but to me it really felt like we missed this whole year. Thanksgiving is around the corner so this blog is about being thankful. I get the privilege to work at LifeSongs and I am so thankful for what I get to do for a living – it almost feels like cheating on life. Nevertheless, I love what I do and the team I ge...

Like many of you, I got out of dodge when I saw the potential of Hurricane Ida. My family and I all packed up and all Ida saw was my tail lights. My family and I went to Houston with some friends and we all sat there and comforted one another. As the storm passed we watched the news together and started checking on our extended families, our property, our friends, and everything.  Once the storm w...

I am turning 45 on the 18th of August. To a lot of people August is just one more day, to me it means more than that. It was on Aug 17th, 2014 that I decided to give my life to God and turn over everything to Him! Quick back story, I was a crazy person running in the world with all my worldly desires when my Father-in-law asked me to run sound for his Christian rock band, Empowered. I asked him if...

Yall, Summer is here and if you are like me you may have some kids at home! HELP! In my house I have a 15-year-old daughter and a 10-year-old son home all day. My phone has never rang more, for the craziest of things like, “can I make some pizza”, or “can we get a sandwich”, or my favorite, “dad, can we eat? ” You guys have no idea how much I want to tell them in a sarcastic way “No, you can...

Sometimes we sit down at dinner and we pray for our food. Other Times we get in bed at night and pray our last prayer of the day and sometimes we pray at church with our pastor.  Over the last few weeks I had an episode where I did not know if i was going to make it. It started one Saturday evening when I felt a slight pain in my chest, it got progressively worse. The pain increased so much that I...
