Glitch In The Matrix

Well keeping everyone updated as promised....There has been a little hitch in my get along to New York. I should get there around the time I am supposed to be there as opposed to getting there early like I would have liked to do. The good ol' US Army didn't have a security clearance waiting on me so I am waiting on that to clear. No worries I haven't done anything to keep me from getting there. At least not recently. LOL. Anyhow once that clears I will be able to leave the Icebox known as Fort Carson, Colorado. I really don't have a job right now and I am living the dream of getting paid to do nothing. I am spending a little time with a few of my buddies who are leaving for Baghdad on Monday. Keep them in your prayers. And if you are one of those leaving, keep looking to the hills from where comes your help. God will take care of you. Keep Him first and praise Him in all things that you do. With a lot of people I am close with leaving without me, it puts many things into perspective. I guess when I deployed with them last time I didn't understand the worry that those close to me felt. I felt like it was just a job. No....It is a very dangerous job. If you are patriotic it is very rewarding. If not it is merely a very dangerous job. As for me, the Army is a great stepping stone for all that I pray God has in His plans for me to achieve. I am working hard to achieve goals that I have set for myself and my family, I just want to be sure that I am following His plan and not my own. Alright folks, thats enough of that. Just wanted to keep everyone in the loop. Love Life...Bless... Oh yeah, if you haven't heard the new Common, you need to get it. It is very uplifting and has a lot of positive things to say to ALL young people. Any race. Listen to "Misunderstood" and the "No. 12" the very last track on the album. Mistunderstood starts off weird but once you make it through the first 30 seconds or so, listen very closely people...listen....

I love this video....

What was this guy thinking? Pedifile...

The link at the end of this post is a link to a guy who was in my recruiting class in South Carolina. We get a call to go pick up his truck about 30 minutes away. When we get there we are greeted by 2 big, black SUVs. At this point, I am wondering what the heck is going on and soon enough I would find out that this guy was caught up in an internet sting that catches adults setting up sexual appointments with children. I am really having a hard time with this one...I want so badly not to judge him, though he is wrong, because I am not God...But I must be honest. I have a 5 year old daughter and if ever I found out a guy was trying to lure my daughter into something like this, all hell would break loose. What's even crazier is this guy is, or was, a Sergeant in the U.S. Army who's married with 2 children. And yep, you guessed it, both of his children are girls. We all know how WE feel as compassionate parents and upstanding adults. But how do you feel for a guy like this as a Christian?.....

Movin' On Up....

Check it out...Coming from the South going North. I have been reassigned to New York City. Time Square Even of all places. The wife and I are looking forward to our new experience. It's funny that I've been across the world and back twice on my last deployment, yet I feel like New York is the more foreign than any place I've been thus far. I've been to six different countries and at least 15 of our beautiful states but this seems it will be the greatest change yet. Looking forward to having fun. I won't be able to travel home to Texas as often, so my daughter will be visiting NYC alot. I hopes she learns great things from new experiences early. Peace & Love....YO' I'M OUT SON...
