Bible Verse For The Day
I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand…
Psalms 40:1+2
My Blog For You
Well, it has been a while since I have been on the site Since I am the host it would be favorable for me to each day post something to bless you. With that being said I want to start off by giving praise and glory to only one person who has been with me every step of the way…
Jesus Christ my Lord…
Around April 4th of this year, I was feeling good not as I had just finished a Urology appointment with ny doctor and was out of sorts as I was not draining all the urine from my bladder and thus was outfitted with my new best friend, a catheter. Because of my diabetes, my bladder was not draining thus the reason for the Urologist appointment. But it was more than that. I could not poop as well. With all that said, we left the hospital, drove literally around the block to the same hospital but this time to the ER side of the hospital to get some additional help…It is a good thing we did that at they got me right in, triaged me, did a few tests only to discover that I had what they called a “bowel obstruction'‘. A fancy term to tell you I was all plugged up. I was admitted and was soon on the road to recovery…
The care I got in he hospital was the bes anyone could ask for. The main three nurses I had while inthe hospital were the best. Rachel, in the early morning, Naomi, my daytime nurse and July, my overnight gal. These three combined along withasuirgery by who I call “Atz” got be back flrohat I considered certain death and took extremely great care. to a place where I can joke about it all the time, Dr. Axmam who I call “Atz” told me a dau so after the srgery, We had to make a small incision but on the way out I tiurned your belly button from an outie to an innie, I did that part for free!!! We all laughed. Two weeks after that I was back in to get thestaples out an Dr. Cody one of Atz’s aprentices took out the staples and I now continie to heal at home.
The day after we got home Tammy and I had a physical therapist come to our home where he noticed that there was alot of sediment in the tube and catheter bag ofmy catheter. We called my GP doctor in Dickinson but could not get in until late in June or early July. With that said we decided to go to the walk in clinic in Dickinson. When we got there the nurse and my wife both convinced me that I needed to give them a clear sample but to do that they would have to remove my catheter and install a new one in order to get a good sample. We did that and found that I had a UTI. Oh great..Well we went right back to the Bismark hospital (60 miles away) and ended up staying another two days in there to get a new catheter and then were again released to go home. After that exhausting adventure we finally got home and have been recompeting at home with Tammy at my side.
What have I learned from all of this?
God loves me
His love and care for me has never stopped nor has it changed.
He knew this was going to happen long before I was a whisper on my mothers breath.
He is in control of all of it and nothing gets by his eye.
All things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to his purposes…

My Wife Tammy and I
April 4, 2009
I could go into lengthy detail about my amazing wife, Tammy but it is in all of Chapter 11 of my novel. I remember the day I proposed like it was yesterday and the rest as they say is history.

My siblings and I were young here. I am 5, my sister is about 3, and my brother pictured there was 17.
My Mentor
My mother was always a champion for me. She always wanted me to succeed. When I was young playing pony league baseball she used to come to every game and sit in the stands. Every time I came up to bat she would yell at the top of her lungs, “Come on slugger!” She always wanted me to succeed in whatever endeavour I put my heart and soul into. I had to tell her it was embarrassing and not to say it ever again….Years later she told me she used to say it under her breath so as not to offend. She also always told me, “the truth is always the truth, it never changes.” I have fond memories of her kneeling at her bed with all the bills from the church, since she was the Treasurer, and asking God to fulfill and pay all those debts. Those bills…They always got paid. That image is engrained in my soul and is one of the driving forces that has helped me and my oldest granddaughter, Alexanndra create this website. I hope you enjoy it, and are encouraged by it.
Sincerely,
