For those who wanted to know...





Hi Friends..
Many of You have ask me how my leg is doing. So, here's the latest update.
I saw the surgeon yesterday. He said it's healed nicely. He didn't like the lack in the range of motion in it. So, for the next four weeks, I'll have therapy three times a week. We hope this will help me gain flexibility. Thank each of You for prayer's and good wish's. I should be good as new soon.

Kneeing before Him...




Hi Friends..
This past Sunday I went to the Farm and Horse show here in town.
Some of You know that back in Dec. 2005 I fell down some stairs in the dark at My Daughter's home and broke my leg. It was one of the most traumatic things that has ever happened to me. See I'm a believer. I believe in heaven and hell. That night as I fell down those stairs in the darkness I remember the thought crossing my mine "this must be what hell will feel like" Total darkness with no idea of the things around You. Then trying to find my way back up in the darkness. I determined in My Soul that no way am I ever going to do anything that might land me in that place of darkness.
Back to the show...as a result of my broken leg, I saw the show from my wheelchair. Of course, I had camera in hand, what's a show without a camera? So, there I sat nose just a few feet from the floor smelling the dirt being kicked up. I had a difficult time getting pictures because of the challenges with the lighting. I watched as people talked about how to ride horse's and talk to them with body language. Touching the legs to the body a certain way, holding the reigns a certain way. As I listened it struck me how similar God our Father speaks to us. He guides us much the same way in the spirit. A certain lean this way and touch that way. I watched how a man worked a horse that he had saved from the glue factory. The horse was born with a bad back and should have been put down. Yet the man raised that horse and trained it. One of the tricks that he has taught it really struck a note in me. As this horse bowed to the ground on it's knee's with it's nose to the ground ..I remembered this scripture. For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, Every Knee Shall Bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. Romans 14:11
Father let my spirit and my knees be bowed forever before You.

Hi Friend's..
I have decided to write a book about my last posting on Men and Women. As many of You know, my life has had it's challenges. I know that many of You have had Your's too. I feel it necessary to write a book to help with my healing and to help inform other's of the pitfalls of not being tuned into Your mates.
We have been married for 22 years this March and are in marriage counseling at the present. Of course You wonder why I am making this public? Because, I don't want other's to be unhappy and lonely..sad and screaming inside to be loved. There is no place for loneliness`inside a marriage. Also, I could not write a book on this subject without having personal knowledge of it. I hope to be able to learn ways to communicate this to others to help them avoid some of the thing's that I have been through.
If Your one of the married lonely people that I've mentioned, please feel free to write to me. Everything said will be kept confidential. I will be gathering information but no names will be used.

Lonely Women, husbands who ignor them..




Today I want to address something that's been on my mind for a long time. It's about the silence and unhappiness between Husband's and Wife's.
I've been online on AOL for longer than five year's. I've met a lot of women between the ages of 30 - 55 that are in unhappy marriages. Why are they unhappy? Because their husband's are ignoring them. Ignoring them how You ask? Ignoring their need's as married women and wives. They come home and get relaxed. Get the clicker and that's it, day's over. The women that I have talked to are screaming inside. They long to have their husband's come up to them and put their arms around them. Tell them that they are pretty or even show them that they are desirable. Women need words to connect to the husband. So, many women in this age groups are online by the hours and days for days on end. Seeking the kind of company that they aren't getting in the marriage. They are lonely. As a result they end up "hooking up" with friends online. Many time's those friends are men. Lonely men who have the time to tell these women the words that they need to hear. That they are still beautiful and desirable. These women take cyber partners. Some even fall in love and meet. Then their own marriages end. Some are able to stay in their sad marriages because they have an online friend who fills their needs. I truly do not understand why it is that so many men today are so tuned out to the needs of their wives. Perhaps it's because we live in an entertainment world. Where all people care about is being entertained. Some of these husbands that have tuned out to their wives needs are even online..prowling the Internet, hooking up with other women, instead of working on giving their wives what they need.
Ladies I'd like to warn you about something here. If your marriage is unhappy and your lonely, you are going to get into trouble online here sooner or later. It's just a matter of time. Your going to meet someone, and it'll start out as friends. But, Your friend will start saying the things that your husband isn't saying, and doing the things that your husband isn't doing. Your going to find yourself in a situation that will make your marriage worse than ever. Your going to make a heart connection with another man, and your going to either turn away from your partner or your going to leave them. Your intimate feelings are going to be stirred up and your going to make some serious mistakes.
So, you say how do we keep this from happening? Well, husbands put down the remotes, and talk to your wives. Don't let them become lonely and distance. Tell them how much you love and appreciate them and how desirable they are to you. Cherish them and love them and nurture them like the bible tells You to do. Wives..if Your not happy in your marriage talk to you husband's, tell them what you need from them. Show them. They can't read your mind. If you need marriage counseling ask them to go with You. If the won't go, go alone. Be careful what you do to your marriage and who you invite into your life. Be careful with your marriage.
