Birthday!!

Okay, not boasting or anything but today is my bday!! Yes, I wish we didnt have to age but we can always be young at heart. A few days before my big bday, I was going through some life changes. I remember going through this before, but at that time I did it without God and it was a tough time. This time I went through it with Him. I am now ready to be a true servant of God, I feel my calling is to help others get through tough situations by helping them understand life with Christ in a way that I feel has helped me. At times I've felt like a hypocrite but now I know God is truly by my side through it all.
I now know to just be myself, that my positive and humorous outlook of life is very contagious. During these days I tried to act a little different, to take a break from the norm but saw that it was quite dull and boring. I am ready to serve the way God has called me to serve.
My words to you are enjoy life but enjoy it with God in your life. Without Him, we are merely heartless human beings, but with Him we are totally complete. It is easy to say He is in your life and that we know who Christ is, but we need to live it and really KNOW Christ in order to enjoy life and make it through the tough situations in life.
So now that I am another year older, I feel my life has also grown spiritually and I praise God for testing me and helping me pass one of His many tests.
May God bless you and be with you as you grow spiritually in life.

AH, Relief!!

Yesterday evening I went to Mass of Reconciliation to ask for the Lord's forgiveness. I'm glad I went, I almost forgot how refreshing it feels to let out your feelings to the Lord and to be forgiven. I know there will be times in life where I will be challenged and once again fight hard against sin. Before confessions began, the Church ran a little Stations of the Cross play and the devotionals they mentioned after each Station really helped me to stay focused in my life and to become a better man of God. So today, I did a little research and found the Stations of the Cross with devotionals to help us get through not only the Lenten season but through our journey of faith in life. If you are interested, send me an email or comment and I will be glad to send you the PDF file I put together. May you all have Happy Easter and God bless! ...and Praise Christ who has died, who has risen and will come again!

Determination, Patience and Discipline

To get everyone on the same page: Last year in May, Sandy and I took the kids to the Witte museum, they had this scale that measured your weight and gave a comparison to how much beef that equaled to. Jesus jumped on and of course was a lightweight, not much beef..haha. Then I jumped on and was shocked by the numbers :( I was 267 lbs.!! I knew I was heavy, but the last time I had checked my weight, I remember I was 227 lbs. Not only that, but my feet started hurting alot and I was slowing down big time on the basketball court. This was my signal to do something about my weight or later pay the consequences. I had gotten injured playing basketball in March the previous year and I was out for 6 months, during that period is where I believe I let myself go. So since May of last year to now, I weigh 238 lbs!! I went through rehab for my injury, then I had given up sodas for lent and have given it up for good since. I started a workout program to get myself back into shape to play

Call On Him

by MikeC Ok, I feel I need to write this down, I believe the Holy Spirit is asking me to send this message to you. If you haven't called on God yet and conversed with Him, I tell you now to please dial Him up and patch things up. If you have called Him but felt you got the cold shoulder every time, I tell you now, swallow your pride and call Him back but this time trust in Him and give Him all your love. Yeah there were times I called on God and didn't get any answers right there and then, BUT, with patience and trust in His will, you will get an answer. I'll be honest, recently I've thought about putting down the mic, and pretty much ending my ministry. As you may or may not know, I'm a big advocate of spending one on one time during Adoration in front of the Blessed Sacrament to really converse deeply with our Lord and deeply offering up my prayers and asking the Lord for His guidance.  The devil is always going to try and knock you down, by throwing you curve bal
