Another Blessed Day

It might be really cold outside but it is sunny. I am working in my office listening to my daughter and niece comment about the New England Patriots vs San Diego Chargers football game. I can tell my niece is really into it by the cheering she is doing.
I fell off the wagon Friday night had too many drinks but I am going to get back on (I don't intend to give up). I was planning to start back to church today (going to go back to the Fayetteville First United Methodist Church) but because of the weather church it was called off. We will make it to church next Sunday for sure. I am continuing to read my Daily Devotional along with the referred to Bible Scripture in addition to my praying for my family, friends and relatives every night. Joey gave me this book "Get Out of Your Own Way" by Mark Goulston, M.D., and Philip Goldberg it has given me a lot of insight into my behavior.
I just read my Christian Sisters blog, boy her oldest is really a true boy willing to try anything. He had a loose tooth and from watching TV got the idea of shooting it out with a Nerf gun. So his mother and father helped him do it I think that is so great. My Christian Sister and her husband are really great parents I think this carries on from their parents.
Well this closes my thoughts for today. I pray everyone has a Blessed week! Until next time.

Christmas and New Years 2007

Joanne and I took in all the outside Christmas decorations today. I was sad to see the decorations put away considering it signifies the end of another year even though it wasn't a year to celebrate. First having problems with my son and my daughter being in a funk. Second incurring more debt because of things needing to be done to the house and the automobiles. But God didn't promise things would always be easy, I do feel blessed that everyone is healthy for the most part and I am at least able to make my obligations. I still need to go back to the Doctors in six months to get yet another biopsy (which I am not looking forward to) to check for cancer. My son having pancriotitus and my daughter having breathing issues but at least no one is in the hospital.

I plan to get back on track in 2008 with the help of God and my wife. My intentions are to give up drinking and to find a church where both my wife and I feel welcomed and comfortable. Once we find that church I will work at giving my tithe and my services to it. I pray that with God's help that my wife and I can get my son and daughter to start straightening their lives out so we can become a well balanced and happy family.

I love this quote from my Christian Sister Heidi:

I serve a Mighty God who loves me and sent us the most precious gift in his Son, Jesus. He is a God of Peace and of Love. And he sent his son to die for my sins. How awesome is that??!!

So Happy New Year and may God Bless you in the coming year!
