Adults!

It has been an interesting few weeks. I have been to Colorado Springs, my mom has spent the night at my place, and I am still busy like always.

Adults are a strange bird for me. I can do without them at school except for parents of my students- they are not around during the day. I work really hard to not to offend, but many has their issues. I wish Adults would give EVERYONE the benefit of the doubt and not assume things. I will make it, but I can't be a blessing if you are always going to assume the worst.

Now, I will get off of my soapbox. Life is good other than that. I will be leading a group of Teenagers on a mission trip to New Orleans in a few weeks. It looks like a great group that will be going. I look forward to seeing what God will do with our group.

That's all for now. Be Good!

Life is fun!

I am in Colorado Springs today. I will be leading for the CEA conference this week. This will be a group of adults compared to teenagers. I am excited. I like Colorado Spring so far. It is suppose to get up to the 50"s today compared to the very low temperatures in Atlanta.

Birthday was pretty good. All I could think about is that I am getting closer to 40. Time goes by fast when you are having fun. My facebook friends came out to wish me well that day. That was great, it was like I had a party. I'm 38 now.

Ed Young comes on television in Atlanta while I am getting dress for church. Last Sunday, his message was "GET MARRIED". He had some good points that I will take to heart. I have never heard a preacher be so bold to single men as he was that morning. Don't get me wrong, marriage is on my list and has always been. I have tried to live my life serving and growing closer to God. Ed points out that this is not enough and that I could have have someone along side of me doing the same as me if my standards were not soo high. (Stop laughing, I know you are) Anyway, it was a good morning. I am working on it.

2009, I plan on relearning how to play the piano. I would like to this summer to go on my first cruise. I also plan on being healthier. I am not getting any younger, so I better take care of what God has given me. I have enjoyed Grapefruit in the mornings. I am wanting one now. I will let you all know when I add Prune's to my list. (HA!)

School is going well. We had our spiritual renewal day that went pretty well. I cried Friday afternoon after it was over. I received a note thanking me for the day, but really glorifying what God did that day. The note reminded me that I would probably never know the impact of that day on the kids. It was powerful the note said. I could not help but to tear up. God is good and bigger than all of us. Remember that as you are an example and ambassador for him.

Well, GET MARRIED and stay Healthy. Bye!

I'm 38!!!!!!WOW!!!!

Yes that's right. The less than 250LBS of chocolate will be 38 on January 9, 2009. I was actually born at 6:10 in the morning. 2 years and the chocolate guy will be 40. Where have the years gone, is my question today.

I have lived so far a pretty good life. I have been to South America, Canada, and several states in the US. I have own two houses and a condo. I have paid for 2 cars in full. I have friends in almost every state. I am living near all of my family. Again, I have lived a pretty good life so far. I still have to ask the question-"How did these years go by so fast".

My early years I was living in a city called East Point, Georgia. This is where I have many fond memories and the church located there has played a major part to my life. I really don't have many childhood friends that live there today. Just the church where I was baptized into Christ. I went back last sunday and drove around a bit. I can't believe the time has gone by sooo fast.

My favorite birthday so far has to my 30th where I was thrown my first birthday party with hats, balloons, cakes, and presents. It was very good. Clinton and Belinda Bunch from Dallas Texas and their family threw me a bash. It was fun, and I still remember it today. I think I celebrated my 30th for 6 months. So many people wanted me to celebrate that birthday. It was great! Who knows maybe 38 will be special as well.

38 has made me look inward a lot at my life. I bought a G1 phone on Sunday. Sounds selfish, but if you really know me I don't buy for myself. I am enjoying it. I don't feel guilty. My old phone fell in the toilet on Sunday. Just imagine the sell clerk dropping the phone when I told her what happen. It was funny. Still don't have the sim card, so if I had your cell you might call me so I will have it again. I get to start over. I had about 125 numbers in my cell phone. Now, I must start over and find new friends. HA!

I am looking forward to my 38. I'll post more soon.

2009- Yeah!

Today, I have cut my hair, showered, washed a load of clothes, paid some bills, and started executing my 2009 plans. I am ready to make my journey to my mom's for a new year's dinner.

Before I go, I am looking forward to what God will do with Terry Davis this year. I want to make some changes to my personal life which is already in the works. I will be blogging about my spiritual,travel,budget and etc plans. I do hope that 2009 will be a great year for you and your family.
