Looks like an alien

His afternoon as the wife lay in bed I watched her stomach to see if the baby would move. Sure enough he did. I don't know if you have ever seen this before but man let me tell you it looks crazy. It looks like there is an alien life form in my wives belly.... Now speaking of the baby we are still waiting for him to be born. We are hoping that my wife will go into labor tonight. Which would be a total blessing. And man I can't wait for him to be here. Then I can watch him move without thinking he's an alien.... Anyway I am so thankful that God allowed my wife and I to get pregnant. This is I know for sure is going to be the best (earthly) gift He has ever given me.

The Passion of the Christ

tonight my wife and i watched the Passion of the Christ. we have both seen it before, but for some reason we both wanted to see it again........ i am so thankful that my Lord Jesus died for me! so today i have seen (or shall i say been reminded) what Jesus has done for me.

Seeing that i am the joy

Every day I am seeing more and more that I really am the joy of the Lord. I love the song that is sung by Klaus "joy of the Lord." in Heb 12:2 we see that there was "joy" that was set before our Lord. i am starting to believe that I am that joy. I am starting to see that Jesus finds joy in me. And man let me tell you that is a hard thing to see. Because there is nothing in me that one should be joyful about. So I thank God that He is opening my eyes to see me as He sees me, and that He finds joy in me. Which leads me to find joy in Him.

Sunrise

I was on my way to work this morning when I saw the most beautiful sunrise. I couldn't help but thank God for his wonderful creation. The sky stared out golden flowing into dark red with streaks of sun light peaking through. If I had more time I would have pulled over and sat there to watch this beautiful work of God.

A day at work

Today was little bit crazy. I had a lot of things going on all at once. But even throughout the craziness I still got to do/see some pretty cool things. We had an inflight emergence on an F-16. Then soon after that we had a fire on a bus. To finish it all off we had a MVA with one person injured. These things were not the only things that took place their just the ones that are worthy to talk about. Today really is not what I saw but what I felt. I felt like I was running in an off base fire house. Which I plan on doing when I get back to the States.

A Child with Hope

today i went to see my friend who's 3 year old son has Leukemia. when my wife and i walk in the doors the little boy says "hiiiiii." so we ask him how he is doing his reply was "I'm doing great." all the while he is laying on his bed watching his favorite show. he doesn't even seem bothered by all the IV's hanging out of his body. this little boy seemed to be the happiest boy alive. so what i saw today was a boy filled full of life. one who has no worries but seems to have all that he needs.....

now his parents on the other hand seemed to be drained. full of unknown fear. they seemed optimistic, but the fear of the unknown seems to be overwhelming. i thank God that these people are Christians. for now they have that hope and comfort of Jesus Christ. so in these people i saw something that i never want to see again. a parents heart braking for their child.

New chief in the house

It has been about two weeks sense our new fire chief made it in. And let me tell you things are already looking up. He has to spend the night with us at least one night a week. Well tonight was one of those nights. To our surprise he sat down and at dinner with us. This is pretty new for us seeing how our old chief wouldn't be in the same room with us even if someone paid him... What I am saying is this: tonight I saw a fire chief who actually cares. One who wants to be involved in the lives of his people.
