Bridle Bells are ringing . . .

So Jennie and I met with Jay tonight to discuss our wedding and how the ceremony will go. I must say that it was very nice to get to see him again after several months and we got a lot accomplished.

One of the foremost topics of discussion was how our wedding should be a Worship service, which I couldn't agree with more. I feel like the best way for our life together to begin is with God as the focal point, where He should be throughout.

Anyways, the meeting was overall very productive and I can't wait for June 16th!!

On a lighter note, we now have our own wedding vows that we will be using.

"With this bread, I thee Wed"

Help me, I'm Mad!!

March Madness has hit!!
I spent today cleaning, doing taxes, and of course watching Basketball!!
Ok, so very little cleaning got done, and my taxes aren't finished either, but I did finish watching 2 full games and portions of several others. I sense this sickness coming over me every weekend for the next three weeks.

Help me Tom Cruise, Help Me!

Let me make my intent clear . . .

I wanted to just post real briefly to say that this blog is not intended to be necessarily religious in nature, however I will promise you that when that is what is on my heart, I will write about it.

I make no apologies for this, and I hope that you understand that I live my life in much the same way. You see, God may not always be the topic but His Will should be apparent in what I say and do. And that is one of the great challenges of being a Christian, or follower of Christ, is to lead people to him without sounding like someone so extreme that no one wants to listen.

Please feel free to comment, my thoughts are not meant to be an end all, but merely a beginning point for conversation.

Song of the Moment - Take My Hand - Shawn McDonald

I kid you not. Sara Evans just spoke to me. . .

OK, so I was getting ready for work today and had on CMT when Sara Evan's song "You'll Always Be My Baby" came on. Now I will swear to you that God used this video to speak a message of unconditional love and acceptance to me.

While I know that this song is running its way through my head right now, I should probably fill you all in on the lyrics so that you can understand the message I am talking about.

The first two verses talk about how she has let her physical father and spiritual Father down and how each of them accept her back and shower her with love. This verse explains just how God accepts us back each time that we repent and acknowledge that we have fallen short of the Glory he has in store for us.

But the final verse is the one that speaks the loudest to me. The last verse talks about how all she wants to do is to be that same forgiving figure in her child's life that her father was to her. But God told me to take this even further and that it meant we are to provide the same forgiveness and acceptance to others that he has provided to us.

I know this is a pretty common Church sermon message, but I thought it was incredible that God used a Country Music Video that lasted all of 4 minutes to wrap my mind around this topic for most of the day. Glory to Him for He is Worthy!

The Sickness . . .

So after a full day of hacking a lung up at work and having no appetite whatsoever, along with a migraine that won't quit, I have come to the realization that I may be sick. While this doesn't sound that astonishing, consider that Jennie is in Owensboro for the week making Wedding preparations and won't be here to Dr. me back to health. All of the sudden this minor cold that I have has turned into something that puts me in a near vegetative state because I don't have anyone here to baby me. Who says that men aren't dependent??

And so it begins . . .

I actually debated beginning a blog some time ago, but somehow got caught up in other things and had all but forgotten.

That is, until Jennie mentioned it again last night on our way home from Church. It seems that she feels as I do, that my thoughts deserve a place to be voiced.

And so I will try to write regularly on whatever random or ill-advised thoughts may come through my head and hope that anyone who happens upon this blog will forgive my borderline psychosis that is sure to ensue.
