What?

I know that many people, who knew me before are probably (and rarely) visiting this place and wondering, what?

Let's just say that I used to be a somewhat colossal ass. Didn't really mean to be, but had bitterness pent up inside it seems and when that happens, it consumes you. You can become overly critical, have disdain, and even have a condescending attitude towards others.

Trails in life, being broken, events that happen can be like a 2x4 hitting you in the back of the head. Wake up! At some point, each one of us is going to have to go through something that changes their outlook on life and in my case, a belief system. I can't go into details, but I can tell you miraculous things do happen. Not the 'face of mary in a tortilla' kind of thing. More subtle, yet explainable only in one way.

You see, all of us have something in us we cannot explain. We know right from wrong, good and bad and deep down inside there is something beyond us we can't explain, even though we try. Sometimes we just have to accept we are not in control, and our schedules do not necessarily reflect that of the One that oversees us.

This blog, isn't special. It's not meant to be. It's here as an avenue for me to display things that are now important in my life. Most people don't understand being involved in the Lord's work. I didn't. For the longest time I thought it was stupid and a waste of time. But then, you go through something and become saved. A fulfilling peace can come over you. You start to see things clearly, and the things in life that seemed important, really are not (meaning 'things', not people).

So those of you who know me, well, really don't so much anymore. I'd like to apologize to those that I may have offended or made feel bad by attitude, language and just plain arrogance.

It is true people can change. The funny thing is that my friend Mike, whom I never EVER pictured as a Christian would become one. We were brothers before, but now we are brothers through Christ, and that makes it even sweeter.

May God bless you all.
