Please...

Please provide some encouragement, blessings, prayer to my online friend Ash;

His life has been very tumoltuous, and right now he's going through a divorce (has kids too that's heartbreaking in itself) and he's currently unemployed...

A lot of the stuff he's going through has been a result of his sexual addictions, if you read some of his blog, please don't gasp or start hating on him, love him for who he is; a child of God.He's become my online friend, he needs your prayers and encouragement. Thanks!

I've come to realize 3 things...

1) I am looking for some form of validation in my life

2) I am going to attempt to work at forgiving my father and perhaps getting our relationship back to being a healthy one; I'll do my part, God...Him...yeh, they'll have to work on his side of things (I need God too!)

3) I need people in my life who I can open up and let it all hang out...so to speak, because I do talk to my friends and fiancee, but I want a bit more.

School/Internship are eating my strength,

the semester is still young...*sigh*

Finite man living a finite life

On Sunday during church, one of the assistant pastor's from my fiancee's church spoke a sermon wrapped around Ecclesiastes 3, or at least the parts that deal with the changing of life's seasons and the different times for different things, The Byrds - Turn Turn Turn! came to mind while he was preaching...

I started thinking about the different 'times' for things; time to gather, to scatter, time to be born and there's a time to die, this last one struck a strong chord with me, because even though I realize that time on earth for me is finite, not infinite. I realize this time and time again, through the passing of the seasons, my sons getting older, myself getting older and so on.

Such is life, but it can make me it fills me with so much melancholy at times,
because there are some things I pray that I live to get to see;
My sons growing up,
My life with Chrissy,
Successfully going against the grain that has been a generation affliction that has existed for far too long,
Doing things with my family,
Pursuing Youth Ministry as a career,
and so much more.

More on this,
but off to class and then my internship.

Younger than I once was...

I can't help but think that some of this is true...The Byrds - My Back Pages
(well, just the part that says I was so much older then, I'm younger that that now)
