  • Taco has died tonight.

    My Dear Taco was put to sleep tonight. It was not planned. He started having seizures and they would not stop for almost an hour and a half. I could not see him suffer and the Emergency Vet stated it was for the best. He never did recover. I will miss him greatly. I lost Henry almost two years ago and now Taco. All my dogs are gone.

    Jeremiah 17:9-10“The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? “I the LORD search the heart and examine the mind, to reward each person according to their conduct, according to what their deeds deserve.””

  • Tough Times at work over for now

    Well, it has been tough at work lately. I have been working rare overtime to get the yearly inventory done and we finally finished last night. My batteries are still drained and I have to work through this week with only a little juice left. But, at least it will be back to normal routines and I get a four day break at the end of the week.

    On a different note, I would like to wish my Mom and Dad a Happy 45th wedding anniversary yesterday, June 8th. I would also like to wish my nephew Landon, a happy 9th birthday tomorrow. They are having a party today. Party smile

    Matthew 7:13-14“[The Narrow and Wide Gates] “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”

  • Hearth Catheterization

    My procedure was done on Friday morning. I received good news, but still have many questions. No blockages were found. But, I still have my chest tightness, light headiness and short of breathiness from HCM. So, hopefully the doctor will have more for me when I go back for the follow-up. One good thing I had a dissolvable plug put in and did not have to stay long in the hospital.

    Acts 20:24“However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.”

  • Easter 2013

    Remember tomorrow when you are taking a moment before eating Easter dinner, that two thousand and thirteen years ago Jesus was born. One thousand, nine hundred and eighty years as of Friday, that Jesus died an extricating death on a wooden splintered filled Cross, paid our account in full from the bonds of sin. What we celebrate tomorrow is remembering all those years ago He Rose and defeated death, Satan and Sin. But was there any doubt of it.

    Isaiah 53:3-4“He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem. Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted.”

  • What’s been going on!

    Well, I was hoping that this year would be better than next. So far it has been a mixed bag. I was diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Then I had a nuclear stress test done. It was discovered that the bottom right of my right is not receiving enough blood or oxygen when under stress. So, I have to undergo a cardiac catheterization to see what the problem is. The doctor told me it wasn’t urgent but I need to have it done. When not stressed my heart is fine. So, I think I will have it done in July 2013 so that I meet my deductible for the new insurance year. I hope everything gets fixed so that I can start exercising a little to lose some weight.

    My class this semester is ok. I have a solid “B”.

    Luke 2:16-20“So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.”

  • It figures

    I just can’t believe Hostess goes out of business and then give their execs pay raises. I can understand why the workers did not approve any deal. The workers sacrifice but not the upper management.

  • Happy Thanksgiving!

    To all my Family and friends. I wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving. Let’s get stuffed for like the bird. Enjoy and remember this is the best time of the year.
    I am thankful for some many things. I thank God every day for what he has given me and I look forward to what is to come. I have significant challenges ahead of me, but know that as long as I am thankful and have Jesus and God that I can get through anything.
    Blessings and Thanks to all

  • Class is almost out

    Well class is almost out. I only took one this semester. Next semester is going to be a killer. I will have three next year. But, this one class was an intro to art course. It was an online course and I have to say one of the best organized ones I have taken. The content was fresh, worked all the time and was relevant to the subject matter. I have an A in it so far. So, let’s pray it stays that way.
