Let's do the time warp...again!

Wow! As I look at the history of this thing, I realize, I haven't posted since before Thanksgiving! With the holiday season, especially with my family, things get so busy that, before you know it, it's valentine's day! And don't get me started on valentines and hallmark!!! IT'S A CONSPIRACY, I TELL YOU!!!! Eh, Mr Costanza had it right...Time for the airing of the grievances!!!! *just kidding*

At any rate, we have had a fantastic two months! First and foremost, we have been an especially blessed family this year. Our church, Living Stones, had an all-in-er who decided he wanted to bless two families in the church who were all-in and did work with the church. Bless Pastor Sam, we were the first family he thought of...long story short, we got 4 new tires mounted on the suburban as well as a machine that helps assist Tobey in talking! It doesn't matter what our church has done for us...we LOVE our church!

Now, it is January 3, 2010, and I am glad the holidays are over. We were especially ready for them this year, and I think we had just enough Christmas! So, here are some resolutions for 2010:

1. Update my blog more often. I don't really know how many people read this, but for those of you that do, I want to make sure you are getting your money's worth!


2. Think of intersting anecdotes and stories to put on my blog;


3. Appreciate the Aglet more...I mean, really, without it, where would you be? shoeless...or in comfortable sandals;


4. Love more!!!

Now, Number 4 is interesting. We are all examples in life...some are examples of how TO live your life, others are examples of what NOT to do. I have decided that I want to be the former. I am not saying that people look to my example for their lives, nor am I saying I want them to! However, in life, you are either one or the other, so you have to choose. And, I want my kids to look to me in their adult lives and say,"I am doing that THIS way, it's how Dad would have done it."

I think all too often, we see too many examples of people taking the wrong path in life. No one wants to be Tiger Woods right now, or Brittany Murphy. In fact, I think we see a lot of people who would rather not be in their own shoes! It takes work and courage to find the positives in life.

Well, that's about all for now...later this month and year, I will tell about the paths my family have taken and how we suffered AND benefited from them. And you will be surprised at which is which!

Until then, God's Blessing on all of you!
