It is Thursday

Today I am grateful for all of the opportunities that the Lord provides for me/us. When you reflect upon it, how many new things come into your life that you are able to experience; good or bad. Opportunities, I am grateful when I recognize them.

Free Speech

Recently a person that I work with was spotted on the local news channel speaking out against the raids that are being performed by the ICE teams; another person texted me and asked if this is the image that we, as an organization, wanted to present to the public. The only answer that I could…

Mi Familia

When I see and hear how some families interact with each other, I am so grateful that my entire family is full of love and support. Life is better when you have love in it.  

Something new

Opportunities are abounds. I am grateful for the Opportunities that have come my way; and I am grateful for the Opportunities that are coming to my family and friends. It is a matter of recognizing them and acting on them. Opportunities are lessons that are put before us by the Lord. Recognize them and learn…

REM

Well, January 20th, 2025 has come and gone. The Earth is still spinning and rotating around the sun and the United States of America seems to be functioning much the same as it was on January 17th, 2025. I am grateful for all of this; or maybe I am more grateful that I do not…

Reading Books

2024

I am grateful for the year of 2024. It was a year of opportunity, learning, increased health and love. I look forward to all that 2025 will bring.

False Pride

I don’t know if it is pride or stupidity that causes me to run my body into the ground. I must think that I am still in my twenties; far from it. At some point my body says, “Hey big boy, you may want to rest a little.” When I ignore the body, it puts…

Amazed

I have been officiating futbol/soccer off and on since 1998. It does not seem that long, but WOW! I have seen a lot of soccer over the years. I have officiated children and adults of all ages and skill levels. I have enjoyed most of the games that I officiate. I am asked, “How do…

She’s the one

I have been listening to a lot of great music at work. Just throwing that out there. I see things happening around me; it may happen with out me, but I know that I am having a positive affect on my peers, on the campus and hopefully some of our students. I have a great…
