Holiday weekend

I want to say Thank You to all of our soldiers, PAST & PRESENT, who have given their life, time and energy to protect us so that we may enjoy FREEDOM that so many countries and peoples don’t experience like we do here in the Great USA.  Namely Iran and their fight for freedom in their country currently.

God Bless the USA & Happy 4th of July!!!

vacation

Just got back from a fabulous trip in California with my family.  I really enjoyed the time.  I got to see my uncle Jessie, whom I haven’t seen in 10+ years.  He looked good too!  I saw his son MO(Hamoudi) whom I haven’t seen since he was like 3 or 4, and now he’s 18 and in college, crazy!  I also met his other son, whom I didn’t even know, Omar.

The weather was great, the beach was Awesome and now I’m back from vacation and at work and wishing I was still on vacation. 

Saw some close friends and hung out and that was real nice too!!

Work to Live is my motto, not vice versa!!

The Chisel

I am blown away at this video.  This powerful video from the skit guys is mind blowing and uplifting!  You must watch this and see how powerful it is for you.  Tell me what you think about it?

Very introspective as to what ALL of us deal with.

God, help me to let go and let you.  Help me to say Yes to you and NO to self.  In Jesus’ name, Amen.

freedom

I would like to ask you all to pray for Iran and what’s happening there.  People are dying and being killed for their belief in Freedom and Change.  Pray that God works in that country to help bring freedom to that country.  Pray that God uses the people to help bring about that change and that the government listens and makes that change for the good. 

RIP Neda, who paid the ultimate price for speaking her peaceful voice! 

Let Freedom RING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2 things you need to know

Jesus said to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, strength and mind and to love your neighbor as yourself.   He also stated that to do these 2 things sums up all Old Testament laws and against these 2 things there are no laws.  How beautiful it is to know that God is LOVE and if we love we will be blessed and be a blessing.  Let’s follow what Christ told us and love…ALL…period.
