Life in Lubbock

It has been a while since I last blogged. I have been very busy with work. I love the work I get to do. I like the way a lawn looks after it has been cared for properly. Jennifer has been busy as well with school and teaching. She also has a full time job taking care of me. I appreciate her more than I can say.
Much has happened in the last several months. I have spoke a couple of times at different functions. The response has been good. I speak again in September here in Lubbock and then in October in Dallas. It is what I truly love to do. I have been blessed to meet so many wonderful people since we moved to Lubbock. I have recently come to realize that we can say whatever we wish but in the end people will believe what they are able to believe. God truly provides the increase. I have wanted so many times to address some of the things that were said about me after our move. I don't see the point anymore. So many dishonest things were said. I continue to go through RCIA and love every minute of it. I was timid about converting but the further I get into it the more I realize the true beauty of the holy, Catholic and apostolic Church. Sure, there have been some things that have been difficult but in the end I can trust that Christ works through His church.
Life in Lubbock is nice. We are having some friends over tonight to grill out. We have started to pray the Liturgy of the Hours, a prayer book that leads you. I have never seen a deeper respect for prayer the presence of Christ than I see now. Well I hear Jennifer rattling dishes so I better go help. Email me or respond I would love to hear from you.
I hope that you are all doing well.

What I appreciate, what I don't!

I appreciate that I am part of a church that has existed since Christ and honors His presence. I appreciate all those who have given such great examples of Christian charity. I appreciate my wife who is the best person I have ever known. I appreciate all those who helped me come into a body of people who stand for the real truth of God's word and not proof-texted renditions of the Word. I appreciate that I have fallen very short of the glory of God. I appreciate those who know the same. I appreciate that I am a part of a church that will never succumb to the pressures of society to accept the modern sins of the world. I appreciate the work that was done to make it possible for someone like me to work and make a living. I appreciate that so many, on both sides, have helped re-affirm that I made the right decision.
I don't appreciate laziness. I don't appreciate liars. I don't appreciate my own sinfulness and addcitions. I don't appreciate a watered down gospel and history of Christianity.
This was a quick post but I wanted to write something.
