Passions before goals.

Chase your true passion before chasing your “goals.” because, goals not built on your true passion, are not worthy of being your true goals.


“Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.”  William Butler Yeats

My dreams, My passions, Love, Be loved, Make a difference…. You do not have to great mountains to make great  differences….just a few mow hills. :)

The only way out is through.

I get by with a little help from my friends. There is a reason I am who I am There is a reason I am what I am, There is a reason for my challenges. There is a reason i once didn’t listen, There is a reason i now hear every word. while I do not know what lies before me, I do know who he has put around me. While i cannot bare weight, I know he has bared every weight….. So if i stand let me stand on the promise that you will pull me through…. the only way out is through.

"If my path be smooth or rugged
If with thorns or roses strewn
Where i go the Father seeith
And He will leave me not alone

If I take the wings of morning
Far within the silent sea
Even there His hand will lead me
Even there my God will be

Though the gloom of night be round me
Though I cannot see my way
yet the Lord will see and guide me
Because unto Him the night is day

If my thoughts are good or evil
Set me think to hide them not
There is one above all seeing
And He beholdth every thought.

And ever more my eyes beholds me
And all my ways to Him are known
And His loving arms enfolds me
He will leave me not alone"

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

The only way out is through.

 He made me. He doesn’t make mistakes.   

Childish ways

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.

My family and close friends especially those of whom knew me as a child…. knows this bible verse speaks of me….. Well, to a certain extent, As a man i must admit…. even a grown man acts of childish ways and speaks threw childish words from time to time. That being said….. you should all know by now… how much i like a good quote fitting of the moment….

“Now is no time to think of what you do not have. think of what you can do with what there is.” ernest hemingway

We can only make the best out of what life is, not what we wish it would be.

THE LOVE I HAVE FOR MY FRIENDS.
WELL THEN…. thanks for reading…

Fathers day.

There are only so many things i really know to be true: There is a GOD. He blessed us with life. He does NOT make mistakes. He loves YOU. Life isn't easy... (nor is it supposed to be!!) God blessed us with people who are there to lift us (IN SO MANY WAYS.) Those who ARE THERE WITH YOU/ME, Those who remind us who we are and what we are in the moment that we need to be reminded. We always know what we want... (rarely do we know what we need.) And, yes, I know, I am my father's son.... thank you... GOD... for making me... MY FATHER'S.... SON!!! <3

Where you invest your love, you invest your life.

Dinner with John: Video and written message. PLEASE READ.

John Bullard is a 23 year old young man, great in spirit, and has dealt with Cerebral Palsy all his life. John’s condition has historically been treated with coverage from Medicaid. Over the last few months, John has faced many personal challenges with this treatment. Medicaid informed John he was being forced to move to a HMO plan primarily triggered by his age. With this, the medical facility treating John informed him they would not be able to provide treatment. This is one of the largest and most respected medical facilities in the United States. Efforts to have this corrected have been futile, leaving John with no medical treatment.

John’s personal friends, moved by his situation, created this video. John and his friends are frustrated with what they see happening today. Special needs individuals are been forced into compromised or terminated treatment. John is not the only individual suffering with this; just in his small circle he knows similar stories plaguing them as well. This group of young citizens are very passionate about our politics driving the agenda, leaving the most disadvantaged behind.

Their request to us is simple, first and foremost for us to pray for change of this course we have created. Secondly, for us to distribute their message by forwarding their video in each of our circles, hoping that through doing so, we will get the message into the hands of individuals that may be able to help create change.

“I was born with Cerebral Palsy and someday,  I will die with Cerebral Palsy.

What matters?  Age and the budget? Or the human condition, and the quality of our lives?”
