LOVE IS THE GREATEST

First, however, let me tell you about something else that is better than any of them.

If I could speak in any language in heaven or on earth, but didn't love others, I would only be making meaningless noise like a loud gong or a clanging cymbal. If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I knew all the mysteries of the future and knew evertything about everything, but didn't love others, what good would I be? And if I had the gift of faith so that I could speak to a mountain and move it, without love I would be no good to anyone. If I gave everything I have and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it, but if I didn't love, other's I would be of no value whatsoever.
Love is kind, Love is patient. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged. It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.
Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
1 Corinthians 13

I pray that you can apply these to your life and relationships. I want to wish all my friends a Happy Valentines Day. Most of all thank you to my family. I love you guys. Thank you for forgiving me when I wrong you or fail you. Have a Happy Valentines Day.

Pay Attention

Hello everyone. Thought I would share what i am struggling with right now. Several years ago when I started getting back in Church I thought I would like to be involved in Student ministries. God directed me to concentrate on my family first and Stregthen my Faith in him. As of lately, I am feeling that call again. God has placed me in several situations so I could test the waters of Student ministry. Yet, I have not been listening or paying attention. I thought I was good just skating along doing the minimum. Shows how much I know.
It is amazing in all the ways God has been speaking to me. Every where I turn there is some sign. Just last night while reading the Bible with Dalton we were reading of Moses and the Burning Bush. Moses saw this and when he approached this bush he couldn't beleive it wouldn't burn up. What a miracle he saw. He also encountered God there. God told him to remove his shoes, he was on Holy ground. After reflecting on this I realized that I need to pay attention to what God is trying to tell me. Just like Moses, I am ashamed that I ignored him, not knowing where I am at and that this is his ministry, not mine. I was where he wanted me, when he wanted me there and I have ignored him this whole time. I know have not been spending the time needed to listen to him. Lord, I pray that you reveal yourself to me in new ways, help to to be aware when you are speaking to me and Lord, give me the courage and strength to carry out your will.

I do not know where God wants me, whether it be Student Ministry or digging ditches, but I do know know that I must always be ready for him to call on me so I must pay attention. Lord, I give you my all, use me in what ever ways can glorify your name. Amen

Hey everyone out there. Thought this blog would be a good spot to talk about anything on my mind and let family keep up with what is going on.



First off I would like to thank God for the wonderful life he has blessed me with, I am sure I will be tested after that statment. He has blessed me with the most wonderful, loving, caring and prayful wife, Amber. I never fully became me until God brought us together. It is hard to admit but she is soo good at all things I fail at, probably why we work so well together. With only one word to describe her, i choose immaculate: free from moral blemish or impurity; pure; undefiled. I love her with every beat of my heart.


After marrying we have since been blessed with the awesome responsiblity of parenting our two son's, Dalton(4) and Carson(2). They are complete opposites. Dalton craves attention and encouragement, While Carson, well he changes minute by minute. I just hope that I will never fail them. I also hope and pray that they follow God' s heart and will for their lives.

My passions in life are Family, Motocycles, Motorcycles, anything that involves risk/failure, and apparently I am addicted to anything that involves money. If only i had all the time and money in the world. I do have to give thanks to God for always providing for all my needs. I have always had more than I deserve. I truly fall under that whole Grace thing. I fail daily in his eyes, I can only try and learn from my mistakes.

Thank you to all who put up with me and hope you return to hear about the adventures in my Crazy Life.
