I’ve been told I need to Xanga more….so here goes…

I’m learning to ice skate. Make fun of me all you want, and watch me fall on my crack, but know there’s something larger at stake here than the pride of a Michigander who doesn’t know how to skate. I love hockey. I’ve always loved it. I’ve always watched it. I’ve played versions of it, but never actual ice hockey. I would love for my son to be able to play hockey. I realize I don’t have a son yet, but I plan to, and I hope he loves hockey too.

I can’t teach my son to play hockey, if I can’t skate worth beans.

And so there it is. I must learn. Whatever it takes. If I gotta skate every possible moment my schedule meets the ice rinks’ schedule….I’ll do it. I figure I’ve got a few years at least. We’re not “expecting” anything yet, and even if we were, it’d be 9 months, and then a few years until he’s walking. So within this time, I want to get my own hockey skates, and learn how to look cool on the ice. There you go.

Been slacking on my reading lately. Not sure why that is. Heck, I even bought a new book to compliment the other 2 I’m currently reading. I had a very ADD week, I believe. The only way I’m even able to Xanga right now is because I’ve shut everything else in the apartment off, and handcuffed myself to the desk. You laugh because you think I’m lying.

Still in love with God over here…holla back? He definitely has things in His very capable hands. I love the life He’s blessed me with. I definitely would not have thought, 10 years ago, that I would be here today. Not really rich, but not needing to be. I’ve got an incredible wife ( an ex-cheerleader by the way…eat that ex-girlfriends), God has blessed us both with full time jobs. That’s a great area of blessing also. Lord knows I could move anywhere right now, and find a great youth ministry job that would provide for us. But we’ve chosen to live closer to family at this point, with that being the main focus, and jobs second. Still waiting on a full time ministry position somewhere in the area, but until that happens…..I really have a great job….and I’m doing Youth Ministry for a church that knows the only reason I’m there doing it, is because I love it. I’m learning a lot, and growing a lot these days.

(Something to chew on)
Still not a big fan of satan. But always the question….should we love satan? Should we pray for satan? We are, afterall…instructed to love our enemies, and lift them up according to their needs….right?

Sorry to all of those who like big entertaining words or pictures in someone’s xanga. I tell you what…reading some of your xanga’s makes me wonder how much time you have on your hands…hehe. Don’t worry, I ain’t hatin’….just statin’. With me, you will always get words. Perhaps a book or a cd I’m going through, cause I understand how to do that. But pictures and words of different sizes/colors….sorry. Not for me.

So….anyone wanna go skating? I usually try to hit the 4-6pm sessions. God bless…Peace.
