strong angels, not sad goodbyes but tearful see you laters

The day has been a sad one for our community as a whole.  Robbie Betterton went to be with his Lord and savior today.  After a very strong and courageous fight with his leukemia, God gave Robbie total healing today, something that couldn't be fine here on earth.  Robbie was a very fine man, one that could make you smile and laugh just by being around.  He had a strong faith and never looked away from his Lord throughout the battle.  He touched so many lives in his 22 years on earth, and will be greatly missed but never forgotten.
Robbie's family is one to be admired, they have stood by each other through many trying events over the past couple of years...they are close knit and always there for each other.  Tammy and Larry have done an outstanding job raising their children into fine adults.
Tammy and Larry, I don't know the pain you feel, but I will continue to pray for God to help you get through this trying time.  Toy have an entire community here to support you now just as we have through Robbie's battle.  To Joanie and Jennifer, I understand the hurt you feel all to well.  As much as we don't understand why, find some peace in knowing your brother blessed and touched so many lives in his time with us.  God needed strong angels to fight a battle and our loss is his gain.  I love you all and I am here to help in any way.
As much as it hurts, it's not a "sad goodbye, but a tearful see you later" because there is comfort in knowing Robbie is in heaven awaiting the day his family is together again.

(James you are on my mind today, I miss you buddy...hope you Robbie and papa are celebrating today.  )

Winter lazy blues

So I have decided the lazy winter blues have kicked in from being off schedule with snow days, being stuck in the house and just not feeling like I am accomplishing what I need to.  I'm slacking on my working out and I feel like I am just plain out lazy right now.  I want to get back into the swing of working to better myself everyday.  Maybe the time changing tonight will help...one can only hope. I'm ready for the warmer weather to get outside with the kids.  I look forward to watching them play outside, going to walks and even some runs.   I'm excited about playing at the park and just seeing all of God's beauty in all the new flowers and animals that will start arriving with the warmer temps.  More time in the day, a personal assistant to keep me on track, a set schedule for each day, or just plain self discipline...not sure what I need but I need to get back on track. I have not had pork or red meat since Tuesday and so far it isn't too bad.  ...

What a year....and like that it's gone.

As I sit looking back at the year that has now passed, I can't seem to get my thoughts in order.  I made resolutions last year and like some people I didn't stick to them so let's recap: My Goals (Resolutions) for the year 2014 1.  Finish a bible study (FAILED - I would get started but I never finished one) 2.  Finish a book (maybe a series too) (SUCCESS - I actually finished 3 this year!!!) 3.  Blog weekly (FAIL - who was I kidding....I barely make it up the stairs to get on the computer once a month much less weekly) 4.  Stay organized (home, work, self, etc)   (FAIL - once again who was I kidding....I stayed busy that's for sure and near the end of the year I was productive but my time management and organization still needs a LOT of work) 5.  Coupon (FAIL - I did clip occasionally but I must do better) 6. Start saving money (Not a total fail but not a total success - I was able to save some money to use toward...
