Love, Hope, and Prayer

If someone shows you their true colors, don't try to repaint them." - Taina, NYC Poet



Love is a sweet tyranny, because the lover endureth his torments willingly. ~Proverb

People who are sensible about love are incapable of it. ~Douglas Yates

You know you're in love when you don't want to fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams. ~Dr. Seuss

Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place. ~Zora Neale Hurston



A door that seems to stand open must be a man's size, or it is not the door that Providence means for him. ~Henry Ward Beecher

No man ever wetted clay and then left it, as if there would be bricks by chance and fortune. ~Plutarch

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit. ~Albert Schweitzer

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend. ~Henry David Thoreau

Trouble and perplexity drive me to prayer and prayer drives away perplexity and trouble. ~Philip Melanchthen



It is good for us to keep some account of our prayers, that we may not unsay them in our practice. ~Matthew Henry

World Series

This was the 2nd game of the World Series I attended. This is the one we lost that put us out of it. Bittersweet to see it happen but it was history I was a part of.


This one speaks for itself haha

Panoramic view :) Love this camera

Had to be quick to catch this shot....and yes I only took one.

Ferguson Jenkins throwing out the first pitch. Awesome pitcher in his day!

Fergie and Jim Sundburg together again.

Cliff Lee coming in from the bullpen. Not the best game for Lee but still a very good pitcher.



Ian Kinsler is one of my favorites. Can even see the ball bouncing off the ground in this shot.

World Series pics

Just a few snaps from my world series trip last year.....this was the game the RANGERS WON!!
Yes we were in some good seats, 8 rows from the field :)

awesome weekend

Had another great weekend at the Rangers ballpark with my friend Sheri. First time she and I have ever really got to hang out one on one. Got to hear a little of the TobyMac concert. It was a blast. Looking forward to more hang out time with her in future as well as other friends. :)

New blog name and tying up loose ends

I decided to go with a new blog name.....kinda fits me better now.

When loose ends are lurking in the back of your mind, they take your focus off doing what it takes to succeed. Loose ends bring you back to a place where you don't want or need to go. Loose ends must be tied up so they cannot run free to steal your confidence and concentration. Tying up loose ends allows you to totally focus on doing what you need to do to get where you want to go.

Consider that end tied.......ahhhhhh thats better. If God takes something from your grasp its only to replace it with something better. I am finally ready for something better not the same old handful. ;)

Rangers vs. Angels

In just about 8 hours i will be going to pick up Sheri to head on down to the Ballpark in Arlington for an awesome day of Tobymac followed by some Rangers baseball at 3:10pm. Have not really seen this girl or talked to her in a long time but I feel we will still have a blast. What is better than a day game, right behind home plate, with a beautiful woman to share it with. Life is good!

New me, 68 Camaro

My friend Liz sent me an email last night and the timing couldnt have been better. Short and sweet (like Liz)

"To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did." When God takes something from your grasp. He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better. Concentrate on this sentence. The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you."

I have recently turned on the heat to run the devil out of my life for good and he is fighting for me very hard right now. I know in my heart what i need to do but he is throwing sooooo many rocks at me to try and knock me off course. God is standing there with me in the trenches though in the form of great friends in church, signs and wonders and predictions through Brother Jody and just the peace of mind that I am the son of the KING, creator of the universe, loving Father and my reason for living. I got a very encouraging phone call from a brother of my church and normally I will not open up with anyone so easily but I just laid it all out there for him and he listened and encouraged me. Its nice to know so many people are concerned with me not letting ole satan win me back. My church family is amazing. The road is narrowing a lot and many are getting left behind from my life but the ones remaining are the cream of the crop and will help me get as close to God as i can.

I am also looking forward to finally starting to buy parts for this new toy soon. 1968 Camaro Z28. Hmmmm i am thinking a nice medium to dark blue with white stripes or :o maybe even red with black stripes (yes I have said i would never had a red vehicle after my last red camaro but........
