Mistakes

“It’s okay to make mistakes, just make new ones.” –Tim Sanders, Mother

I heard this quote on the radio today and meant a lot to me do to the fact that I let my mistakes control my thinking of who I am some times, but I’m not made up of my mistakes but what I learn from them to better myself. That can be in my work, personal, or Christian lives. Now if it gets to the point I’m making the same mistake over and over again that’s when there is a problem in making them.

God Bless

This is what happens when you drive like a crazy man. Lesson learned .

One Year!

It really bad when I have had a blog for one year and have only put up 13 posts. I could use the “I’ve been busy” line, that always seems to work. Which I have been but I have also been wasting time with stuff that doesn’t even matter. For instance watching YouTube videos for hours, granted there is some useful information on it but I just get lost in watching one after another they make it so easy.

One of the things I have been doing on my Saturdays is helping my brother remodel a house down the road from. I haven’t been helping as much has my little brothers but I’m in charge of the electrical which is done with the hard part, now it’s just hooking up everything so much easier the running the wires. He is hoping to be in it by the end of April I think, it’s possible but everything will not be done. Here’s a picture of it when we first started I’m sure I will have some later pictures coming later in the blog, hopefully.

God Bless.

Driving Fast.

In my job as a delivery guy I do a lot of driving, and I'm all ways seeing people driving like they are in a race to get where they are going before someone else. Granted their are some situation where you are running late and need to be somewhere as soon as possible, but back before I was convicted for driving too fast, that was not the case for me I was driving fast for two reasons because wasn't waking up in time for work or I didn't want to be driving for 5 minutes more every day, worth it? I don't think so. Now that I'm slowing down I have a more relaxing time driving, for most of the time I'm thinking or talking to someone, and I don't get frustrated as much.
All that to share this. On one of my stops today I go to a fire station and we were talking about the weather that was coming though the next couple of days and I ask him if they were ready for it. And he said "no, people don't know how to slow down in the icy weather, they are driving fast to go nowhere!"
I thought about that, it's so true that we are out there driving faster then we should to accomplish what? To get somewhere a couple minutes earlier then we would if we slow down a little bit.
God Bless.

This is a photo that I took one day on my way home a couple years ago and thought I would share it.

WHY ME?

Picture from CO trip in 2006

Why chose me over the greater men of the earth?

Why forgive me of the greatest sins of the earth?

Why bless me with friends and family beyond compare?

Why provide for my every need?

Why me?

Why give me peace when the world is in turmoil?

Why Love me as your child after all I have done against you?

Why reveal yourself to me when I have rejected you?

Why continue to speak to me when I have cut your word from my ears before?

Why me?

Winter Driving

When most people hear of having to drive in the snow, one of the first things they think is oh no. Not for me I enjoy driving on the snow it's something I don't get to do all the time living in Kentucky. Call me crazy but that's me.
God Bless

DO NOT!!

I’m sure you are wondering what “DO NOT” is supposed to mean. Well it’s another adventure of mine that I have been blessed to not happen to me before this. Ok I will tell you. Do not step though a drywall ceiling! Yes I stepped though a customer’s ceiling while moving a TV cable for them. It all started when I was talking to lady from church that I do work for on a regularly, she was talking about her condo that she just sold, the people that bought it had it inspected and one of the GFI's outside was messed up before they bought it, therefore the lady hired me to go over and put it in at her expense. While I was there they wanted me to put up a fan and replace the other GFI, I did that later that week but before I left they wondered if I could move “the TV cable” from one side of the room to the other and I told them sure I can. Two weeks later I went over there to do this 20min job. Well I fell though the ceiling and the wife wasn’t there but the husband was and I got out of the attic to find blown-in insulation all over the floor and a 1’X5’ hole in the ceiling. Good thing was the husband was laughing so he wasn’t mad. I called up my good friend Brian to come and look at it. He ended up putting one coat of drywall mud on it that night, and we got the TV cable down the wall and left. Later that week I finished putting the second coat of drywall mud on, sanded (which is very messy), and painted. After it was all over it ended up being instead of being 20min. it was four hours. It turned out good but I would rather not do it again.

The cool thing was after it was all done the wife asks me if I could look at light outside that wasn’t working. And I was like sure why not. It was a simple fix and she said that she would keep me on the list, and no not the do not call list.

I learned that if you take responsibility for your actions then it will turn out right, even if you don’t think it will at the time.
