Another Christmas and 10 Lbs Heavier!!

Greetings from the inconsistent blogger. I decided to give this sucker a new name and look , hoping it will inspire me to write more. Like that will really work! Well, lets hope.

Well another Christmas and a new year has dawned , as has 10lbs on my waistline. But I vowed this year not to make any resolutions , who really keeps them . So this year I vow to gain weight , therefore, using reverse psychology on myself. Will it work , who knows but its worth a shot.

It was a great celebration this year . Had a whole houseful of family including the in-laws. A total of 14 people and 1 cat. The food was yummy and the gifts delightful and I didn't get any underwear! Oh forgot , I did but they were too small . Don't remind me ,OK!!

But in all seriousness ,I love Christmas and everything about it . From the music , to the lights and most importantly celebrating the coming of God in the flesh , Jesus Christ. Bottom line for me , apart from Christ I have no hope or life. The year 2007 has been a real struggle and challenge , with many downs and ups . However through it all , God's grace , was ever present even amid my sinfulness and personal struggles with coming to grips with my wife's cancer , the loss of my job and dealing with my youngest sons ongoing battle with diabetes!! Without God's enduring steadfast love and both the rebuke , tempered with mercy , I surely would have cracked! But just as Jesus promised , the Holy Spirit ministered to me through the word . I hope and pray that 2008 will be a year of reconciliation and refocus in my life.

Well enough of the heavy , so hopefully I will hit the keyboard , well not literally hit it , more often this year and make a blog . Nothing will be safe . From news,music ,movies,books,sports and even my family , no stone will be left unturned. Granted who wants to hear the ravings of a 44 bald man , no I have no hair issues , pounding out his thoughts for the masses to read . Well I hope at least 1 person will read something . So here is to a new start.
Plus here is a picture of my boys! God Bless
