My 100

I’ve seen this too many times now. I can’t avoid it. It might even be theraputic. So, let’s see if I can.
Things About Me.
1. First and foremost, I just happen to have the two most perfect kids in the world. Sorry.
2. I love very deeply.
3. Proud Native Texan born on Tx Independence Day. (Yeah, it’s [...]

Very Long Post - #1 Today - Comments Requested

Wow, if I could rename the blog, I think now I would. (Anger/ resentment/ disappointment/ sadness speaking.) It’s now unofficially called ‘My Previous Life as a Yoyo.’
I wrote for hours the other night. Nothing really new came out of my keyboard, except for renewed frustration. Last night, she came to a new decision, and [...]

Religion, Family history

Okay, I opened a vein. I guess, I’ll let it flow for a moment. This isn’t meant to ‘bring anyone to Jesus’ or convert you to Buddhism. It’s just where I’m coming from. Since I’m in disclaimer mode, I will also say that I’m not running from or hiding my religious background either. Think of [...]

No More Coffee Mugs for Christmas Either. :)

I’m sitting here in the dark, across the room from the snoring wife. (She is kinda cute when she does that. Anyway, sitting here because the crappy discount wireless won’t let me connect. GRRR! Gonna rip it all out tomorrow. I can’t see my keyboard cuz my USB light stick was borrowed [...]

Selections From The Book - pt4

pg 145 – “The real you is on the side of God against the false self. … We are told to shoot the traitor. How? Choose against him every time you see him raise his ugly head. Walk right into those situations that you normally run from. Speak right to the issues you normally remain [...]

Selections From The Book - pt2

pg 152 – “Has is ever crossed your mind that not every thought that crosses your mind comes from you?”
Being raised in the church, I am very aware of the devil in the Bible. But I’ve always seen it as just the opposite of the good things that happened, a fable, a sandwich-board enemy [...]

Finding My Heart

So this is a search for my heart. It’s not my idea, it came from a book. “Wild at Heart”, by John Eldredge came to me at a very important time. My brother-in-law suggested this sometime back and once my marriage starting falling, suggested it again, but more passionately this time. It has had [...]

Dirt On My Ass, But I’m In Getting Back On

Okay, so it starts. This is me. I’ve been knocked off my horse and I’m working my way back into the saddle. Simply, my wife thinks she wants to separate from me. Where I know there has been substantial unhappiness, I in no way saw this coming. Not only was I knocked off, but [...]

Who Is The Author?

It is going to be very interesting, this blogging adventure. I of course don’t have time to write during the day because I want to be around the kids. In the back of my mind, that statement sounds more like, ‘around my kids while I still can.’ I had twenty things I wanted to write [...]
