Veterans day: Thank you!

To all of my family & friends, who served in the many different branches of our military. I know a simple thank you doesn't match  up to your service & sacrifice. But, because of you I can worship my God, read any book i choose, & watch all of or younger generations sleep peacefully in the night. For all that, all i can say is, THANK YOU! WE LOVE YOU! MAY GOD BLESS, & KEEP YOU!   

Father, Son, & the Holy Spirit: Fishing for A Lifetime.

"Be full of HIS closeness so that those around you know HE is near."

 ~ J.C. Bullard -- this morning.

That's what i needed today.

 The man meant to have a son, is the father, who, continues  teaching the son humility, Quiet strength, & grace under THE FATHER of Heaven & His son. for a lifetime.  

Blessed to be a witness.

But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD." -- Joshua 24:15

"Never let the music of your soul die"




"Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you."-- 
James 4:10 

The girl with steel flowers in her hair: Prayers for whitney Bailey.

Listen up people, please! Serious Prayer request! This is Whitney. She is a friend of mine, a very important friend. I've told you about her before. Talked about essays she's written Any many other cool things. You can also Check out her public speaking page on FB. She Graduated from SFA & currently going to grad school for special Education. This is a very powerful voice for all people & especially those touch by physical disability A big influence on me & my on goals for teaching, at some point. Anyway, A few days ago... Her baclofen pump malfunctions, which is extremely serious . She is in the hospital and slowly improving. I have another friend who this happened to a few years ago. It can be a challenge to solve this problem. Whitney is always up for a challenge. But, if all i can do is tell you about her & ask you to pray with me Holding her & family up to the healing hands of God. Than that's what i'm going to do. Will you please pray with me for Whitney & the Bailey family??


Thank you all so much for all of the prayers & kind words for a very influential friend of mine. Some of you, i don't even know, but your friends of Whitney's & let me say without hesitation, if you're a friend of hers your a friend of mine, i mean that. This is a very powerful young woman. She's cutting a new road & raising the bar for what's possible for people in the "disability community" She's made it her personal mission to destroy the old, naive, ignorant, ideas that society tells someone with physical challenges. I admire that most about Whitney Bailey.

"Whitney sat in her chair for most of the day and has been a lot less spastic. "  She is tired & tight but moving forward from what i cam understand & will go through inpatient rehab When her doctors & family are for sure she's out of the woods & before returning to to grad school. "

Look, i'm doing this for two reasons The first & biggest is, I believe in the power of prayer. it changes things. & the second is, there is too much misguided ignorance in this world. & ever since i've known Whitney Bailey, she's made it her goal through teaching, speaking, writing, & her own actions to defeat those misconceptions & doing it with an overwhelming positive attitude.And one hell of a smile.

Please continue praying. The world needs this girl.
