Assateague Island

I decided today that my love for the Ocean is ginormous! Ever since i was little i loved collecting shells, but hated the ocean water till one year my dad took me into it and i became in love w/t the ocean. I was to the ocean 7 times over 15 years! Now I have a longing to go so ... I decided to go this summer! I am praying that my dad will take me for a week! But if he only takes me for 3 or 4 days i will be a very happy young man! I want to go into marine biology! I hope some day to live close to the ocean for i never get board of being there! I hope I will be able to go! I will take pics and post them when i get back!

GYC (generation of youth of Christ!)

I was an attendee of this past years GYC 2009-2010. God truly was leading the sermons were awesome! The seekers were on fire for Christ. The night meetings were based on Romans1:6, to not be ashamed of the Gospel of Christ.During the day we had a plethora of meetings to choose from and go to! I had a very hard time choosing! I ended up going to 2 different ones David Assecreck,and Nathan Reynolds. As I sat and listened to the presentations I was unAshamed to tell others. On Friday January 1, in the 23degree weather,with a huge wind chill, I went door to door with my new friend Ru. It was a long road, but by Gods grace every home that someone answered the door the person accepted a bible study card! I was truly amazed! God may have a plane for you're life just let him lead you! Hope to see you at GYC 2010 in Baltimore MD.

to all a good Christmas time

I am so thankful that Christmas is almost here! I love all the fellowship food, and goodies that we have over the holidays! We truly are blessed! I think of poor people over the holiday and try to play extra free rice, so some family that didn't have a meal for Christmas will get a surprise one! I hope all is well enjoy the family fellowship while you can ! I am not so fortunate since all 4 or my grandparents have been dead for over a year now! Enjoy every moment you have with them for you never know when your last might come! Be thankful for what you have for some people have nothing!
Merry Christmas!

tomorrow may not come!

Something to think about:

One day a woman's husband died, and on that clear, cold morning, in the warmth of their bedroom, the wife was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't "anymore."
No more hugs, no more special moments to celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat, no more "just one minute."

Sometimes, what we care about the most
gets all used up and goes away, never to return before we can say good-bye, say "I love you."

So while we have it, it's best we love it,
care for it, fix it when it's broken and
heal it when it's sick.
This is true for marriage ...
and old cars, and children with bad report cards, and dogs with bad hips, family and aging parents and grandparents.
We keep them because they are worth it .....
because we are worth it.

Some things we keep -- like a best friend who moved away
or a sister-in-law after divorce.

There are just some things that make us happy, no matter what.

Life is important. We only have one.

We only have one Mom, one Dad,
one unique brother or sister or friend.
I received this from someone who thought I was a 'keeper'!
Then I sent it to the people I think of in the same way.

Now it's your turn to send this to all those people who are "keepers" in your life, including the person who sent it, if you feel that way.

Suppose one morning you never wake up.
Do all your friends know you love them?

I was thinking....I could die today, tomorrow or next week, and I wondered if I had any wounds needing to be healed, friendships=2 0that needed rekindling or three words needing to be said.

Let every one of your friends and family know you love them. Even if you think they don't love you back, you would be amazed at what those three little words and a smile can do.

And just in case GOD calls me home . . .

I LOVE YA !
:-)

Live today to the fullest
because tomorrow is not promised.ms
