LIVE AWESOME

This blog is primarily for my family - my kids and grandkids (when I actually have some...who knows...maybe not too far off!).  It will be a collection of thoughts, ideas, and experiences that hopefully will help you find your way through life and learn how to live awesome.  

Some of the things I write will be of a personal nature, some religious, some business, and some things just to help you be well-rounded individuals.  I hope it will be a record that will survive potentially long after I'm gone.  I will try and share principles (universal rules/laws) that you can govern your life from.  Measure it with the standard of truth that lives inside of you and listen to that still, small voice and verify its veracity.  You will each have different lives and applications of these things in your lives.  Your experience here is meant to be unique as each of you are unique.  

God is intimately aware and involved in your lives.  He will find ways to help you grow and some of that may be emotionally, spiritually, mentally, or physically painful to you.  But TRUST that He is good.  TRUST HIM.  He knows what He is doing and how to bring you back to His presence.  The sooner you give up the false notion that you know what is best for you, the better.  He will be able to work with you sooner.  Don't be like me and find out later in life that He exists, that He has a plan for your happiness and joy in this life and the next.  If you will turn your life over to Him, He will make more of you than you ever could of yourself.

You are to become "heroes".  Learn from the ultimate HERO - Jesus the Messiah.  I promise, if you become like Him, you will be a hero as well to your family, your community, and you'll stand with the few other souls who sought Him and found Him and were found worthy to be in His presence.

Your training has already begun. 

I love you.  Dad
