It's a new day

I only have a few minutes today to write, os I thought I would post something good. Or at least good to me. I got my joy back. In this christian race we run, there are times that we come up against a brick wall and sometimes it beats us. I have felt like I have been beat for a long time now, but I made the decision last night that there is nothing that can keep me down or hold me back. I have reclaimed everything that has been taken away from me. I am reclaiming the joy that I have lost over the past 4 years of my life. I am reclaming the power and the anointing that is on my life to do the work of God. I bind every spirit of oppression and depression. Every spirit of complacency and the idea that we have to settle for what we have and that there is not more to this. I bind them in my life in JESUS name, and I loose JOY, ANOINTING, POWER, LIBERTY, BOLDNESS, WISDOM and DISCRETION in my life in JESUS name..........................

It's a new season,
it's a new day.
Amen.

My Heart is Breaking Today.

My heart is breaking today. A very close friend and family member of mine was killed over the weekend. He was on his beautiful Harley-Davidson motorcycle, he and his wife, and was struck by a drunk driver. Terry was killed instantly and his wife suffered a severe broken leg, but she will be ok. I had the great pleasure of working for Terry Sprague at Campbell's Harley-Davidson in Marion Illinois. Terry was my wife's cousin and someone that I had met numerous times at family gatherings and etc.. But this time, I would get to be around him and find out personally what a great person he was. So, over the course of the next year or so I was around Terry everyday except sundays. Terry was one of the most consistent and christ like person that I have ever met. Of all places, a Harley shop is where I got to admire what a real christian is and watch him in action. You see this point in my life was one of the most trying times that I had ever went through, and there in the shop I found a rock of consistency and comfort. I will truly miss this great man. I will miss the jokes and humor and little talks about life, but most of all, I will miss the friend that I made. I hope I could be half of the man that Terry was and live my life to the fullest like he did. I want to say thank you to Terry and Shara (his wife) for being amazing people and for impacting a life just by living the life that you preached. My heart is breaking today, but my heart is yearning for the day when we meet again on that beautiful shore, in heaven. Until then......

The Manmountain Beginnings

I have always been the type of person that has been laid back and calm, most of the time. Because of this I have always held things in and not talked about them or opened up to people. So maybe this will be a way to vent my frustrations and things in life that I just need to rant about and let out. I look forward to sharing things and posting random events that happen in this wonderful thing we call life. So please read and enjoy and feel free to comment anytime. Let's rock-n-roll..........
