Some Random Thoughts

Here are some random thoughts about the year in review, New Year’s resolutions and goals.

This year was a year of transitions. I moved from my job at the funeral home to being back in full-time ministry at Bayshore Baptist Church in Bradenton, Fl. I am now the Youth and Music Minister here. Check out what FUSION is all about by clicking here.

I am now 26!

I enjoy life a lot more than before!

during this past year I have become more inquisitive on politics and society due to the fact that I had a 3000 dollar tax bill this year and got curious as to how government spends money. now I’m addicted to talk radio especially the Schnitt Show.

I began writing my book about Death this year but have put it off for some time now. I need to finish it before I die.

Jessica and I had to put our beloved cat Lucy to sleep due to the fact that she couldn’t fight her infections and she was starving herself to death. (Lucy lost her immune system due to a herpes infection at birth)

We were given a cute little cat named Millie and we are growing to love her just as we did Lucy

Well, that’s about all I can say about that…Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Everyone!

The Truth Video

Due to the rush of the Christmas season, I have not been able to bring much new material to my blog. In the mean time…here is an awesome video you should watch. To see the movie…click here.

Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!

My Cup Has Overflowed

Last night was our annual Thanksgiving Service at church and there was a very touching moment when a lady in our church who is battling cancer got up and read this poem. It really makes you think how someone who is very sick can still feel blessed.
DRINKING FROM MY SAUCER by Jimmy Stewart

I’ve never made a fortune and it’s probably too late now;
But I don’t worry about that much, I’m happy anyhow.
And as I go along life’s way I’m reaping better than I sow;
I’m drinking from my saucer ‘Cause my cup has overflowed.
Haven’t got a lot of riches and sometimes the going’s tough,
But I’ve got loving ones around me and that makes me rich enough.
I thank God for his blessings and the mercies he’s bestowed;
I’m drinking from my saucer ’cause my cup has overflowed.
O, remember times when things went wrong my faith wore somewhat thin;
But all at once the dark clouds broke and sun peeped through again.
So Lord, help me not to gripe about the tough rows that I’ve hoed;
I’m drinking from my saucer ‘Cause my cup has overflowed.
If God gives me strength and courage when the way grows steep and rough,
I’ll not ask for other blessings I’m already blessed enough.
And may I never be too busy to help others bear their loads;
Then I’ll keep drinking from my saucer ‘Cause my cup has overflowed

I hope this is encouraging to you this Thanksgiving Holiday…mmmmmm turkey dinner tomorrow!!!
