Double Parking, Our Smart Phone Demise, and PB Fluff Sandwiches!!!

Image
     There is nothing like going to the park (or anywhere) and having 4 cars double parked in the front row because some "guys" think their 2005 Chevy's are priceless. I'll never understand where people get the nerve to think they can double park in the parking lot, but worst than that pick the front row. If you're going to double park then use the back of the parking lot. But, I will say that nothing irritates me more than someone using a handicap parking spot for their own personal gain. Handicap parking spots are for people who are truly disabled and some of those people have "earned" those spots. My grandfather fought in WWII and Korea, he earned his purple hearts and he also EARNED the right to double, triple, and handicap park anywhere on this planet! I wish I had one of those eject buttons that I could press when someone parks in a way that totally makes it inconvenient for those of us who do the right thing !       I also could not help but n

The Secret to a Successful week as "Mr. Mom"

     "This is a preemptive shh...!"      My wonderful, darling, gorgeous wife had to go into surgery on Tuesday hence sticking Daddy with the duties that only Mommy can perform! My wife does an amazing job at keeping three girls in line and our home clean while working on other peoples houses to pull in some extra cash. So when taking on this task it was more daunting than I had originally anticipated.     You see, I have a high stress job that requires me to produce multi million dollar events in a matter of days with as many as 300 people working for me at one time. Most days I get up at 3:30 am and don't get home till close to 8-10 pm or so and I can average up to 10 -12 miles of walking daily. Not to mention a lot of times my managerial duties consist of telling grown adult to things and they just look at you like your nuts. If anyone is looking for an application let me know i'll hook you up!      Now, that being said, the average day taking care of three gi

Why I choose Chick -fil-a!!!

       Tonight was a kids’ night at our favorite restaurant..... Chick-fil-a! The place plays out like that song from Cheers. I want to go where everyone knows my name, calls me sir and says "my pleasure". Man I'd hate to be the guy who gets caught not using that term 50 times a day. One of the girls tonight was so used to being nice that she knocked over some towelettes behind me while I was in line and realized afterwards that she had apologized to the counter. I mean I have never, ever walked into a Chick-fil-a and had a bad experience. Never have I walked in there and felt like I was at McDonalds with some rude person behind the counter using these terms..."yeah"...."what's up"....."What Chu wants"..... I once had to speak to a manger because the girl on the intercom got frustrated with me and I heard her say in the background "what's wrong with these people." Really?      I love the fact that the place is always

My life through this storm!!!

Image
     My life through this storm is pretty blinding. I think of all the things that have transpired and I wonder how God could love me? A lot of people wonder how they could love God, or why they should love God. What arrogance we have! I imagine the day that I get to kneel before Jesus and pray that he kneels down over me and says...."I have been waiting." Oh what the overwhelming emotion of God' grace for me and the happiness he will grant me over this life will be like.      We are all to be in the world but not of the world. But what does even mean? Is it possible to be in the world and simultaneously denying the world the power to rule over you? It's not easy! The world has a good way of distorting the truth; men are not taught to be caring and compassionate towards others. That wouldn't serve the world's purpose, we are supposed to grunt and kill stuff!!! Men are at war with the world and its lies! Every sitcom and magazine is nothing but a cruise mis

The secret to my SUCCESS (issue # 5) Understanding God's purpose

     For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord!(Isaiah 55:8-9)      How can we know the plans that God has for us? How can we know if we are living the life God has meant for us to live? If you believe in God but live life YOUR way, then do you really believe?     What if I told you God has a plan for your life and all you have to do his follow the instructions? Would you do it? God does have a plan for our life but it is nothing like you want it to be. I hear a lot of people complain about how God doesn't answer prayers, and how can a loving God allow such things in this world. Honestly I have no idea. It's beyond my comprehension to understand the who, what, when, where and why's. The instruction book of life does come with a "decoder ring" though, it's called the Holy Spirit. In which God lives in you and through you to guide you. But this decoder ring comes with a few requirements. Humility is one fo
