Understanding the Struggle

Relationship/Love Songs

On my way home at 1:30 this morning I noticed that most of the songs on the radio have something do with a realtionship. Maybe they're love songs. Maybe they're songs about lost love. Songs begin to bookend segments of our lives. Anyway, that was my 1:30 am driving thoughts. I'm deep man, very deep...hahah.

So what are some of your favorite relationship/love songs? Leave them in the comments section.

Peace!

Meet Albert (Won-By-One)

Say hello to Albert. Albert lives in New York City and is now my second child I sponsor!! Albert just turned 8 and enjoys baseball, math, and Thomas the Tank Engine Train:-) His favorite color is blue, just like mine:-)

Through Won-By-One a division of Metro Ministries, you too can sponsor a child right here in the United States for just $23 a month. You can also be as involved with the child as you like. My first thought was going to visit and taking Albert to a Yankees game. Any kid would enjoy that, right?

One crazy thing about Albert is that his Dad's name is Orlando, and his brother's name is Orlando, Jr. Sometimes things are just meant to be.

Peace!

Weekly Story: Gettin Soft

Today I went back to courts and threw the ball at the hoop for the first "real" time in over a year. I wasn't there long and I was asked to play one-on-one with a kid that I recognized, only now he was much bigger:-) A couple of years ago my bro and I played against him and his brother and beat them soundly over and over again. I'm talking 15-2 kinda games. Now the kid was 17 years old, 6-2 and about 185 pounds.

So we proceeded to play and I easily won the first game 15-6. While he had grown, his skill set was football. He is a running back for the high school team. That athletic abilty didn't really crossover to the basketball world. After we finished the first game I could tell his brother, who was watching, wasn't really happy. Apparently, his brother has some sort of disabilty. Not sure exactly what it is, but something is a bit off for him.

Anyway, I began thinking that winning to the kid I was playing meant more to him and his brother then it did to me. Sometimes winning at a young age gives hope and belief. He went on to win the next two games and left extremely happy.

Winning is meaning less and less to me as I get older. Impact is the key now. The post title is called "gettin soft", but really I think it's called maturity. Just don't tell anyone;-)

Peace!

Seinfeld!

Rescued a Squirrel

So today on a walk through the neighborhood we walked by a baby squirrel that had fallen from a tree, apparently from the storm that had passed through earlier in the day. Charissa went home and got a box for the little guy (1-2 days old) and then we took it back to the house.

Luckily I was able to find a number for the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center and they hooked us up with a lady that specializes in squirrels and who lived just in Ocoee (15 miles away). So we jumped in the car and dropped the little guy off.

I didn't get much exercise, but I did help do something good today.

Peace!

Reading the Bible

Yes Twitter followers, I woke up this morning at 7am and did something just a few minutes ago that I honestly haven't done in years. I picked up the Bible and read the book of James. Alone in the house with a cup of coffee I took a few minutes and read through James. I don't know if I've even ever read James, but I do feel refreshed after reading.

I've got the link to the book of James below for anyone that has some time to read.

Enjoy. Let me know your progress as well. Peace!
