Well, here I go about to stick my neck out there once more. The question of when will I get married always seems to come in the fall. I think about it more in the summer, but ALWAYS get asked the question in the fall.
Here is my take:
In my 20's, I was looking for miss right who would stay with me forever in Searcy, Arkansas.
In my early 30's, I was looking for someone who was a lot more mature and had a faith in God bigger than mine.
Right now, God has a lot more work to do on me. I know, I am not the perfect person I thought I was when I was in my 20's. I have always known but I will admit more today, that I have a very messed up family that I will asked some lady one day to join. Don't get me wrong, my family is my family. This last one, is probably my biggest stumbling block. I am secure in myself, I believe this last point is another hurdle I believe I have conquered.
I am not ashamed of my upbringing, I have to live in the real. I wanted so much to have the perfect life/family to present to my wife. Well, that wont be happening anytime soon. My nephew recent saying "It is what it is!" I hope she will see she is marrying a Christian young man who is a sinner and is looking forward to being in heaven.
So the question of when I will get married. God only knows....

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!

Wow and Wow!
It has been a great week for me. I have enjoyed reconnecting with some of my lifelong friends. You know the number one question is "am I married yet?". I forgot how many people want me to experience the married life. I have made so many jokes about being happy and others wanting me to experience the nagging, dumbing down, and loss of freedom. Before you dog me about marriage, I want to be married. I just believe too many people would like for me to be married to see how I respond to being told what to do 24/7. I love your concern, but I will continue to make fun, laugh at those I can, and remain single. They tell me I am having too much fun and need to have a wife to enjoy life like they do! WELL, I am enjoying my life right now. If marriage is or is not in the future, Great!
Anyway, many baptisms have occurred. I rejoice with those who will begin their new life.
I have a quick trip to Atlanta and will be back here in Searcy, Friday!
