Cubs Cubs Cubs

Isn't it funny how much the cubs franchise mimics real life? You work hard all the time and occasionally you get rewarded for it and just when you think it's all about to come together for you, you get hit with life preverbial plague of injuries and your facing last place again..

Is anyone out there (A Purpose Driven Thought)

What is it about getting older that makes you question purpose.  I'd like to think it's that with each day, as we inch closer towards old age and eventually death, we subconciously want to get closer to God and serving him.  Maybe it's due to the fact that humans need to know that there is more to life than working a 9 to 5.  The duldroms of grown-up life can annoy you at times.  Why is purpose important?  Was it so special to us before the best selling book? Did we discuss it before it was the basis of Will Smith's I-robot?  I don't know.  What I don know is that I must fulfill my purpose.  I will do it or die trying and I'm young and no where near ready to go! 

God grant me the strength to walk as your son did to live as Christ did here on earth.  Help me fulfill my purpose.  Hey there's never a bad place for prayer.  I want to commit myslef to a vision and see it through to fulfillment.  I must.  Enough for today..!

A Day In The Life...

What I don't get is humanity... People say they want to do better but continuously fall into the same pitfalls and traps over and over again.. I see this at church more than any other place.. If you're saved act like it, if not do your thing but stop straddling fences.. it's sickening.. Of course no one's perfect and I don't expect anyone to be but I'm really sick and tired of people who are holy on Sunday and forget God existed on Monday....
 
I'm a pretty normal guy.. I like what most guys like.. cars, video games, women, but I think that what seperates me is my moral intergrity.. People (especially guys) don't seem to have that anymore.. I've been stabbed in the chest and back by more "Friends" than should humanlly be allowed... Am I better than everybody else?? YES!  I am.. God says we are called to be part of a Royal Priesthood and how many royals have you ever know to be common... I don't want to be common nor should you, but you should use common sense in the decisions of everyday life..
 
Ranting is so theraputic..
