Rule Breaker ? ? ?

Conformity - is that the goal? Do we all come out the same if we go through the same system? You know, "all men are created equal" or something like that. But does that mean we are all the same. How about individuals. We are each unique and wonderful and add a flair of color to our world that no other person adds. Someone said to me the other day that they were a rule follower, and that I was opposite of them. I love this person, she is a blessing and a joy to be around. However, her comment about us being different and her being a rule follower got me to thinking. I am talking like 2 hour of my day. If you are not a rule keeper, does that make you a rule breaker? I do not like to think of myself as a rule breaker. I do not know, it just does not fit into how I see myself. Inside I want to fit in and go with the flow, however I am kinda a rule bender if you will. Is it possible to be a rule bender, without breaking the rule? I do not know. OK, you know when you go to the mall, and you use the escalators - the rule is no strollers on escalators, well, I would just hold the stroller onto the escalator and go up. My wife would want to go and find the elevator, but I would say, hey are the escalator police around, then lets go . . . I know lame example, but it is what I could think of. How do you see yourself? are you a rule keeper? are you a rule breaker? or do you find yourself with me kinda a rule bender? Peace

Today is today . . .

Greetings,

I welcome you here to my little blog. I am reading a wonderful book, actually two books. The first one is called The Shack. I have enjoyed this book thus far. I know many people have read this book and have enjoyed it. I have enjoyed the fact that this book has stretched me theologically. I know God is at work in my life. It is not only about knowing the truth, it is also about living out the truth in your daily life. I am also reading and leading a group through a book called The Blue Parakeet. This book is also stretching me out in many ways. I have been encouraged in my walk with God through both of these books. I have been in need of renewed encouragement these past few months. I am blessed and I want to share that blessing with you. Peace

Balloons on Sunday

I love this balloon photo. I am only at Busch's two more days. I will be sad to leave so many wonderful friends, though I will still see them around. However, I believe great things are coming. Peace

Days about done . . .

My days as a Busch's employee are coming to an end. I have been there for 15 months. I am amazed at all the things I have learned and all the wonderful people I have meet over these past months. Bottom line, I am tired. My body hurts at the end of each shift, and it is just time to move on. No ill will, and leaving in good terms with a great company. A Michigan Company to boot. This is but a short blog, but I await the wonderful adventure that will begin in the absence of Busch's. Peace

A blog a day . . .

Well, now that is not the truth is it? It would be more like a blog every now and then. What is it exactly about pouring stuff out of ones head onto a page that is so, well, so refreshing at times. Then to know that someone would take the time to read what dumped out is also very interesting. What is on my head today??? I am a little under the weather today. It is cold and rainy today. I am looking forward to a little nap in just a few moments. What is it about naps on rainy days? Just to lay your head down on your pillow and pull the covers up tight around your neck - getting sleepy while I type . . . there is something in the day, the rain, the absence of the sun, I do not know exactly that beckons me to lay my head down. That is just about enough of the nap thing.

It was a blessing to be off from work last week. We were able to travel down to Virginia. Friends and food were on the agenda. We also spent time with family from Florida. My best friend Ron lives in Virginia. He is married and has three wonderful children.

I spent some wonderful hours with him just talking and conversing about life and Godliness. We attended College together. I do not think I have been as open with any other human besides my wife as I have been with Ron. I love this man. He is like a brother to me. What a wonderful week.

My wife has several friends there as well, and she spent time with them. Like I said we were able to spend time with family. Here is my son, wife and sister in law.

The joy that family and times shared together can bring . . . It is refreshing and energizing.

All in all it was a blessing to be in Virginia. Now I want to focus on cutting some of this weight. I know, it is always on my mind, why don't I just get with it and change? Good question. I did join the Gym last week, they were having a great introductory special. Now it is time to get up and move. Well it is time to bounce. I love you all. Peace
