Redemption in a blessing.......

As I sit in a lonely hotel room, miles away from any family or friends, I cant help but think how sad I am, right now. Not because I am away from my home, my dogs or my best friend in the world, I am sad because once again I've managed to make mistakes in my life that will ulitmately affect those I love the most. I used to have the "ME" mentality of that what I do only affects me. Well it doesnt.....at least not anymore. As you get older, you should become more accountable for your actions. Right? I read a passage this morning in my Bible on accountabilty (2 Corinthians 5:10) We all will be accountable for our lives when our number gets called. Have I lived in a way that I can be proud of? No. Can I change, starting today, my life so that I am? Yes. And thats what I intend to do. Doing the little things right. Give more and take less. Treat my body as a temple of God. Be a better son, brother, uncle and most importantly a even better husband. 27 years on this earth and I cant be proud of a single day, month, or year. But this will all change and it'll be the most dramatic and single most life changing day I can live. Because isnt that the blessing of each morning, I chance to turn it around?

iPhone. So, I offically will be on my third cell phone of 2008. (Check last yr stats: 3 phones total in '07) Which means I am on pace to break my personal best..er or worst, and have #4 and 5 by the end of the year. oh joy (sarcastic). Apparently Apple thought of every bell and whistle to put on the iPhone except a water proof battery. (Right, Orlie?) I got dumped into a pool over "El Quatro" by the one that shall remain nameless, and now must wait for the NEW and FASTER iPhone 3G. But in the interim, what about my music, my pics, checking my facebook status, and oh no.....TEXT MESSAGING. Grrrrrrrrr. Could it be that all this time with my phone that I have lost the art of conversation??? Come to think of it, when have I actually spoken with someone on the phone for more than 2 mins?? YIKES. Maybe a break was in order......maybe it was a signs from up above.......I wonder if texting is a sin.....thats probably a whole other discussion.......

THE HEISMAN COUNTDOWN BEGINS.......

HOMEOWNERS

We are truly blessed! After getting engaged, and completing my first marathon, Amy and I finally pulled the trigger and God led us to our perfect first home. We had been searching for a home to buy next year. We knew it would be awhile before we could find something that we both loved and that we could afforfd. Today, we found a home that fits all that...AND some! God led us to a home in Lubbock that was bang bang for the buck and that we both felt good about. We just bought a little 3 bedroom 2 bath home (1400 sq ft) in North Lubbock that is only 3 years old. Its perfect and I know was the right decision for us. Take a look.....

COMPLETED

WE DID IT!!!!!!!
