The Secrets to my Success!

     It's been almost a year since we embarked on our return journey back to Texas. It's been tough and long and we are still working hard to plant roots. Today, as we played outside and I was forced to pick up all my loose screws (yes, I have a few loose ones) on my garage floor it brought me back to a time not so long ago in a place far far away!      Man, what a year it has been. Its hard deep inside to rearrange your life, when we first moved away we were still kids and had no plan or idea how we were going to make it. We spend years growing our family and forging new paths in our lives. We made friends that we dearly miss and established a life in a not so familiar land. It was where we had a lot of firsts. Like our first church family in Maryland and our first bible study family in Virginia. I stopped my first and only robbery to date. It is where we had our first dog and our first gym and our first home, which is where we tiled our first bathr...

Ingredients: 2 cups whole milk, room temp 3.5 tablespoons of butter 2. Tablespoons of flour ¼ yellow onion 16-20 Oz finely shredded cheese – queso , or Monterey jack or a mix in a big bowl 2 cans of Rotel drained 1 can black beans, rinsed, drained, smashed with a fork 6 Oz cream cheese, room temp and “diced” into small pieces Sprinkle of garlic Alright, so this method of Queso dip will take some time and patience, but it is really good when you get it. Start off by melting the butter in a double boiler or a regular pan at low-MED heat. Don’t let it sizzle. Add the onion and let it cook for a couple minutes. When the onions are ready (clear) add the flour and let it mix well. After about a minute slowly start to stir in the milk at a slow pace whisking the entire time. Let is thicken a little and get warm, then add the garlic and cream cheese until it melts together. Here is the key: slowly start adding the finely shredded cheese a small handful at a ...

    So there is one thing that has and always will bother me. Hypocrites! They are all over the place and I find myself doing it sometimes, but rarely. I came across an article the other day about the new Son of God movie coming out and so I read it and obviously the writer not only bashed the movie but Christianity as well. As I read through the comments, which were too many, almost 1700+, I found a multitude of sides on the issue. For God – against God – you name it. But what aggravated me the most was the lack of tolerance. But what is funny it how the intolerant Atheists’ were blaming Christians for being intolerant, when they are the ones who are bashing Jesus and “religion” to begin with. But I guess there answer was to, instead of ignoring something they don’t even believe, degrade Jesus, the Bible, and Christians by calling US INTOLERANT! Give me a break…                    ...

As a blogger, I don't tend to read many other people's Blogs, though I should, I just don't. You see as a writer you use words and phrases to speak to the world and find yourself hoping the whole world reads it and seems somehow interested. But unfortunately most people are not. Especially mine because it's just on Facebook and most of my topics are off the deep end and people probably see me as that crazy lunatic that expresses himself too much. Well I'm here to tell you something, that all may be true, but I am dead gum proud of it!  I like to use literature and word like a musician uses song, maybe I should take note and leave it to about a 4 minute page with some catchy tunes in the background. Maybe I could do like one of those open mic poetry or blues nights themed blog. You know the one, some guy strumming Bass in the back ground with some graffiti painted walls and my top hat with a scarf. But really I just do it to express myself verbally because I have a d...

Maybe he just doesn’t care! Maybe he’s just an egotistical mass murderer that wants us all to bow down at his feet and worship him! Maybe he is evil himself and we are just pawns in some sadistic game! Yeah! Yeah, that’s it! But wait there is more; maybe he loves us so much that although we are all evil, he still sent his only begotten son, a spotless lamb to die for us!  But wait a second, that doesn’t sound like the God I described above. But… how can he be both? Or is it….. Is it maybe he can’t be both?

Angel food cake French Toast- First, I must admit this was not my original idea, but I tried it and loved it! Six large eggs, beaten well 3/4 cup half and half 2 tablespoons brown sugar Pinch of salt 1 tablespoon cinnamon "Sauce" 4 tables spoons butter 4 tablespoons cream cheese 1/2 cup table syrup After beating the eggs, add the ingredients, then mix, but mix well. Poor in a small pan, like a square brownie dish. Get yourself an angel food cake, or bake your own. If you bake your own you should follow the directions, but try to bake it loaf style. Cut the cake into 1" pieces Let the cake soak in the egg mixture for about a minute a side, then cook on medium heat in melted butter in the skillet.. Melt the butter, cream cheese and syrup in the microwave about 15-20 seconds at a time stirring in between. " so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve ...

If you were to bring up technology today in a coffee house discussion, people would probably get excited and go on and on about shows, blogs, FB media posts etc. But one subject that I doubt would come up, or a topic that would not be much discussed might be the moral decline of society over the last 60 years. The increase in pornography addiction, adultery, divorce and decrease in personal relationships and the overall state of our society as a whole can be directly related to this. Society has always had its problems and this is not a new thing. In fact societies since the beginning of time have suffered these issues. But what is the real impact on society due to the increase in technology? Of course there are amazing things that we get from this explosion of plastic and touch screens, like advancements in emergency response and instant communication. We are sharing experiences from across the world in an instant, watching things unfold from the other side of the world an...
