About Me

Greenville, SC, United States
A 51 year old guy who after almost 30 years of ignoring a call has decided to follow it. I'm married to Judy, my high school sweetheart, and can't imagine life without her. I have two wonderful children, Kate and Sammy who have brought great joy to my life. I am looking forward to the next step in my "faithwalk".

Don't judge the guy fixing his car in the Walmart parking lot.

So Saturday was a great day. Judy and I went to church for choir rehearsal in the morning and then stayed the afternoon to make some signs for the Clown Troup (thanks for your help Sammy!). That evening the young kids were hosting their annual Spaghetti Dinner, so we stayed for some good food and fun antics of the "bread kids" and the "dessert cart kids".

We needed to do a little shopping so we opted to stop at Walmart. After picking a few things up we came back to the van and it wouldn't start (dead battery). So what to do? Well, after thinking about it for a few minutes I realized we were at Walmart and they sell batteries and for some reason I happened to have all of my tools in the back of the van. Another quick trip back into the store and returned with a new battery.

So if you have ever seen that person working on the car in the Walmart parking lot, just remember, it may have been us.

So I'm wondering? Why did this happen at Walmart? Why did I have my tools in the van that day? Why was it a nice evening?

Thanks God.

What are your plans?

What are your plans?

We really try to plan our lives out in nice neat rows and columns but then He calls.

What are your plans?

You finish high school, go to college and get married and He calls again.

What are your plans?

You get your degree find a job and keep running down that column of your life. Then He calls again.

What are your plans?

You have children who you take care of and when they need you they call. He continues to call you.

What are your plans?

You stay active in the church thinking that's what He wants. He calls at you louder.

What are your plans?

You see a downturn in the economy so you change your focus at work, cut expenses, employees, travel and anything else you can think of and tell yourself that you can ride this out. His call is always there and it becomes hard to ignore.

What are your plans?

You finally realize you need to change the column that your in to the one He wants you on. So, it's not what are your plans but.......

What are His plans???????
