Free at Last, I am Free at last


Yes, it's a quote from Martin Luther King Jr.'s great speech to the masses that ever so eloquently denounced the use of segregation and prejudice, and built up the standard of judgment and acceptance of people based upon their character. But, few ever stop to think about how true those words can be, to some one who has lost it all, and was then given many more new and wonderful gifts; as a sort of equivalent exchange for what he had lost.
This is the case of my life, I had lost it all. But, all that I lost was a mere payment for the joy and tranquility that I enjoy now.I have the love of the most wonderful and beautiful woman in the world, the ever enduring grace of the God I serve, and the ceaseless freedom provided by the bounties of this amazing country I live in. In the simplest of words, life is surely good, and I have no right to complain. I am free at last from my past and it's accompanying pains. Surely, life has been good to us all, if we merely place down our preconceived ideas of hate, judgment, and dishonesty; we could all see it so clearly.
If we can judge life by it's character, just as we should judge all things, we would all see that we have a gracious and loving God, and life is good in even the worst of situations.

OKay


So... life has been a little rough lately.... but that's alright, because I have learned a few things from my discomfort, mainly "Life goes on, you have to keep waking up, keep breathing. Know that, tomorrow, the sun will rise, and you never know what the tide may bring in." Well, I may be quoting "Cast Away" a little to much, but I don't care. It's still relevant. Life does go on, and it's to short to spend moping around. I have the greatest friends in the world, Tim, Sarah, Paul, Lizzy, Dave, Doc, Selby, Miss Becky, Mr. Post, my step dad. The truth is, I have it great. The sky is bright outside, if I only choose to see through my fog.
The love of my life is there, she just doesn't know it yet, my friends are here, God is there. It's time to stop moping, and start living. I've already let go of the past...now it's time to live the present, and not let it live me. From now on, I'm taking life by the reigns, so if you here me say some weird things, it's because I'm not going to allow myself to be down, wondering about it anymore.
And by the way, if anyone is board, and needs some one to hang out with, come live life up with me for a bit....I'm sure there wont be a dull moment...I mean come on, I'm the most accident prone guy in the world, who happens to never plan much of anything...or at least I make it look that way.

Home and new things




Well, I am home now from the wonderful land of Kuwait.
I have been home for a little over a month, and in my spare time decided that it was time to start doing water rockets again. This time, for the sole purpose of breaking world records.
I am also playing the violin again.....But on other notes, I will be starting a new site along with this one, for the purpose of documenting my water rockets
