Title...Today

So now it's been six weeks i haven't smoked and the topic is getting boring. In facti only rant about it when the withdrawls hit. And sometimes they hit hard. But there are happy thoughts too. Like this seemingly endless winter is finally coming to an end. The air is warmer and i am feeling better about alot of things. So cheer up people...har har har.

1 Month

It has been 1 month since I was freed from the addiction to filthyrettes. I feel really great. Not paranoid but really good.
Keep praying for Sandra.
And me, I got a little edgy yesterday and other things have been really getting me down and peeing me off. I suppose I am looking for answers from God that He isn't required to give

What is a Blog of note

The dashboard shows blogs of note but there aren't that noteable.I think I am just filling boredom time that I used to fill with sickarettes. Har har So
sandi is looking at quitting soon and all must pray intensly for her.
we are hoping to see our grandson this weekend if Fiona can get out here.
Did i make note previously that sandi and I are grandparents now? Probably not. But little Sam is the cutest baby since his mom was born.
Anyhow lets keep praying against the sickarette thing. It is the spirit of addiction and it's a tough one. I am nearly four weeks and so I am over the worstof it. WE LOVE YOU SANDI and WE WILL PRAY YOU THROUGH THIS
God Bless

Three weeks

It's been three weeks since I have picked up a filthy cigarette. This after 30 years and numerous attempts to quit is truly a gift from God. So praise Him.
God Bless Radlife.

More prose

I hear you coming down the hall
and windows were flickering
and lights were dimming
for the night was ending

The streets were emptying
beneth my balcony
the last of the partygoers
finding places to sleep.

Bu I couldn't join them
I had not the heart
so I waited alone
in the darkening room

I waited for you
I prayed for you
but you didn't show
so I sat alone

The night wasn't mine
not anymore
that was a time
so long ago

Time takes its toll
on we who lived loose
on we who loved feastng
and celebrating all season

For that season ended and
I fell to the ground
seeking more than the party
could ever offer

And I wept for old times
and wasted youth
and yesteryears
oh silly wasted tears.

For life's contentment
comes indifferent forms and time
and here i sit
never regreting only laughing

then I here you my love
coming down the hall
and i can finallyclose mine eyes and
sleep the night away

Let's Try Prose

Let's try prose

I sat one day
waiting on God
an angel came by
and asked me why

I sat one day
waiting on God
a demon came by
and said I was wasting my time

I walked through the town
talking to God
and His voice inside me said
Listen

I listened to the voices
I listened to the wind
to the birds
to the dogs to the river and the grass

And there He was
moving through my life
not the way I'd have it
But the way He moves

So I sat the next day
Loving on God
and the Spirit and the Son
grew within

And the tears came
as I loved on Him
for I felt Him
Loving on me

Week

It has been a week since I have smoked and I feel really good this time. Sandi got really cranky when I first put the sickarettes down but she's better now. There must have been a demon in the house because the kids looked totally terrified. But it's gone now too. So we are all happier now. I find breathing really weird, less laboured. I love to walk alot too. Regardless of the weather.I posted the link for my church's website only because Sandi built it. To God be the glory. That also means she doesn't get paid for it but she says I'm not to complain. So I don't out loud.Anyhow the day is just beginning here in knowlton. I wonder how my old blogger friends in Mission BC are doing. Hope your church is still going strong. God BlessRadlife

Long time

I havent post here in a while
I am still getting to know more about the nature of God and the nature of women. Sandi is a great teacher. We do have our moments. But that is life. So I will try to share more later, about the love affair we are discovering with God.
May He Bless You
More later

Just Married

YesSandi and I are now husband and wife after 2 years of bf\gf\we don't know what.
It was a wonderful wedding with a truly inspirational message about how the community is responsible for keeping marriages together and sharing in the joys of family.
I now have two wonderful step sons and my wife has two beautiful step daughters.
I will be posting a synopsis of the wedding message on my Christiandays site as well as pictures. http://groups.msn.com/Christiandays I can't get the blogger photo editor to work on this computer.

Thanks to all for your prayers.

Baptism Sept. 18/06

I was baptised today, 5 years after coming to Christ. I was originally baptized as a Catholic baby, but never as an adult Christian. Praise God.
Something changed when I came out of the water. I can't explain exactly but something.
Praise God.
Something makes me want to share the gospels of Jesus.
Praise God.
God Bless

Sept. 16/06

My daughter is driving me Insane. Insaaaaaaaaane I tell you. She wants to marry the bipolar psycho. No way i will not sign for this. Forget it and of course I am the bad guy and the source of all her problems.
ack
This is not what i signed on for.
And I slept through my shift at the plastics plant as well. I'll probably catch royal ^%$$ for it monday. This has been a completely crazy day. Nuts like I don't believe.
Okay I am having one of those " please let me fall into a 5 year coma and wake up at the end of the world" kind of days.
Now I'll just start drooling and babbling like a moron.
Sleep time and maybe a fresh perspective in the morning.

Why go to Church?

I had to share this one.
Why go to Church?
Why go to Church?
If you're spiritually alive, you're going to love this! If you're spiritually dead, you won't want to read it. If you're spiritually curious, there is still hope!Why Go To Church?
A Church goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to church every Sunday. "I've gone for 30 years now," he wrote, "and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 sermons. But for the life of me, I can't remember a single one of them. So, I think I'm wasting my time and the pastors are wasting theirs by giving sermons at all.
"This started a real controversy in the "Letters to the Editor" column, much to the delight of the editor. It went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher:
"I've been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But, for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of those meals But I do know this.. They all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my wife had not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today. Likewise, if I had not gone to church for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today!" When you are DOWN to nothing.... God is UP to something! Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the impossible!
Thank God for our physical AND our spiritual nourishment!

Sept. 11/06

A day many stop and reflect.
Today I reflected on praise and how I don't do enough of it.
I find I am often complaining about what is wrong. I forget to thank Him for all that is good in my life.
So give Him a little more praise today.
God Bless
