Take Up Thy Stethoscope And Walk

God Is Love, God is Good!
He moves in crazy ways sometimes your expecting a long battle and a hard time and the problem gets fixed within a few hours its crazy.
I would like to thank God for Eric, Chris, Carly, Luis and a bunch of others for helping me grow recently good has done wonderful things through them.

The Oil Fields Fade In the Distance: My Winter Break

So much can happen in one month, one break. My emotions have been on a constant roller coaster. Love, Pain, Joy, Sadness, Rejection, Reconciliation, Heartbreak. I cant say I have enjoyed my break but Christmas was the best Christmas in years. I feel I have a better grasp of who I am and I'm glad for that. I learned that if someone wanted to hurt me I'm an easy target. I give up my secrets easily, I don't ever think I'm good enough. Yet I have found Christ and in him I know I can be a broken sinner and can be a servant to God. The battle against smoking is a long and hard one. Its hard because my love of smoking is equal or greater then the desire to quit. Its hard to explain this to nonsmokers or even the some smokers. To me the smoke has been a way to break free from stress, a method of prayer even. I at times will walk around outside with my pipe freeing my mind to God and enjoying his creation. So giving it up is giving up positives and negatives. This break has seen evenings filled with laughter, tears, heart break, cigarettes and booze. I don't think I would change a thing. I have learned a lot, hurt a lot. I'm glad its all most over.

Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella

Christmas Day
The Christ Child is born
Today has been the best Christmas in years
I realized my family means the world to me
I did not really want anything for Christmas but I got what I need
Some clothes to replace the stuff thats not fitting right, and some boots (the docs)
But most importantly Love from my Family and Friends
I know who cares and you mean the world to me.
Cant Wait Till New Years
