Clear my Mind and reload

I decided to go to Michigan for the holidays. I need to clear my mind and rest. I have only been here less then 24 hours and i already feel better. I went with my dad to pick up my niece from school earlier on. As i walked the halls of Bea Mcdonald, There were so many memories that came flying back. That place looks so different! LOL.

Before We went into town, I went for a quick walk. I had a close encounter with a semi. It drove past me and the backdraft knocked my hat off! Welcome back to the country Charlie!

Is "vice-versa" to a dyslexic just plain redundant?

I am sitting here with a stomach ache. I am sitting on a couch that was very comfortable when I got it, but its not comfortable anymore. My central air is on but doesn’t seem to be working well. Its 1:45 in the morning so I suppose I don’t really need it on anymore tonight. I also have a fan on and blowing air in my direction. My allergies are causing me problems, so I might shut the fan off.
On my Tv, I am watching Lesea Broadcasting. There are running a special program about a tour of Isreal that they offer. I really want to go on that trip! I think it would be an awesome trip. I look to my right and see a book shelf that needs to be cleaned and organized. I look beyond the book shelf and discover that box of donuts that I raided earlier on today. I suppose that’s why I have a stomach ache.
I look to my left and notice that my sliding glass door is open and a cat is standing there watching me. I just went over to the door and leaned down to pet the cat, he sniffed my hand and ran away. I now hear something calling my name. What could it be? Oh ya! Its 2 am and I need to go to sleep. Good night.

Can't be a good sign

I am writing this at 7:47pm. No access to a wifi signal so I will post this later.

I am currently sitting in an empty theater at the dollar theater waiting for a showing of the movie "the crazies" to start.
I am thinking that since it starts in 5 minutes that the fact that the theater is currently empty can't be a good sign! lol

I wasn't sure if I really wanted to see this as it looks like just another zombie movie and I have seen my share of those. But I decided to give it a try, if I don't like it then I am only out a dollar.

Update....

I just got out of the film.
I like it when I go watch a film with low expectations and come out of watching it being very pleasently surprised!
That just happened. I liked it. It was very good!

Happy Halloween!

Gonna pass out candy this year. Not sure how many knocks on the door I will get, only got 2 last year. Oh well, more candy for me!

I saw the movie "The Stepfather" last night. It was pretty good. Was your standerd horror thriller. If you saw "Disturbia" and liked it, then you will like this.

Also saw "Gamer" recently. I think the action genre is where Gerard Butler shines as an actor and he was terrific in this!

Who is the lady that is in the commercial for the V mini series remake? She is one of the Aliens? She is creepy.

Just a thought or 2

I get concerned when i see people taking a bible verse and spinning it to suit there own will. That's a very dangerous thing to do! I have a Twitter account and one of the people I follow just did that. That happens alot. Unfortunalty.

Bummer that Michigan lost to Penn State. Looks like coach Rich Rod has some more work to do.

Allright, chat with ya later.

Devotional

For one of my Writing classes, The assignment was to write a devotional.

Here is what I wrote.

 

He who began a good work in you

 

Every once in a while I tend to stray from God. I don't mean to do it, it just

happens. But when I fall away from God, something always happens to bring me right back to

his side.

 

I grew up on a farm in a small town in Michigan however after graduating from

high school, I was accepted to college at Brown Institute in Minnesota. I was a small town kid

who was not prepared for the big city and I was about to be tested in a way that I have never

experienced.

 

We had just come to the end of the fourth day overdue. Our son was scheduled to

arrive into this world on the 28^th of September but just like his dad, he decided to take his time.

We had just arrived home from having dinner at Red Lobster when her water broke! The

moment that we had been waiting for had finally arrived.

 

We immediately left for the hospital, was checked in and moved to a room. They

completed the necessary confirmation that officially determined that she was in labor and then

the waiting began. A couple of hours passed, but she wasn't making any progress. The decision

was then made to administer a drug that would help it along. By 10 am the next day, she finally

began active labor. The next couple of hours were hectic and difficult. I have to give a lot of

credit to my ex-wife, I think she made it thru the active labor better than I did! After eight hours

of active labor my ex-wife had began to feel the urge to push, a nurse did an examination and

discovered that she was fully dilated

    

After awhile of pushing, no progress was being made. During an ultrasound that

was performed a few months prior to the delivery, it was discovered that my son had a larger

than normal head, again he is taking after his dad. It was determined that he couldn't enter the

birth canal due to the size of his head, so the decision was made to deliver via cesarean section.

 

Christopher Ray Walker was delivered at 2:13 am on October the 2^nd. There were

complications. They had given my ex-wife a spinal tap to prepare her for the operation and some

of the medication had passed on to Christopher, when he was delivered he was not breathing.

They preformed neo natal resuscitation and were able to revive him. During the operation my ex-

wife lost a lot of blood and needed a blood transfusion.

 

I walked into that hospital with a wife that I had only been married to a year and a son on

the way. I almost walked out of that hospital 48 hours later with nothing. After I checked on my

son and my ex-wife and made sure they were going to be ok, I went straight to the hospitals

chapel and fell to my knees and praised God.

 

When I was in High School, I was a member of a Christian singing group and one of the

songs that we sang was "He who began a good work in you". This experience reminded me of

some of the lyrics from that song

"If the struggle you're facing is slowly replacing your hope with despair or the process is

long and you're losing your song
in the night. You can be sure that the Lord Has His hand

on you safe and secure He will never abandon you. You are his treasure and he finds his

pleasure in you"

 

I felt lost and run down by the fast pace style of the big city and had fallen away from

God. This was a memorable experience that had reminded me that God is in control and it

Brought me back to his side.

 

A Perfect Getaway

This movie starred Steve Zahn, Milla Jovovich and Timothy Olyphant.

This was a typical action thriller with a twist at the end. If you haven't seen it and plan to, I won't reveal the twist I promise.

This movie was directed by David Twohy.

I saw it at the local two dollar theater wich since it was released a little over a month ago, I am will assume it didn't do very well at the box office.

I liked it. It wasn't anything that just blew me away or anything, but it was good.

Steve Zahn and Milla Jovovich are a newly married couple that are on the honeymoon in Hawaii when word gets out that there is a couple on a killing spree. I should probably stop there, if I reveal anymore then I might just spoil it for the rest of you. I am used to seeing Steve Zahn cast as the comedic relief or the comedic lead in a film, his role in this film was nowhere near that so I personally thought he was miscasted. However, I have only seen Milla Jovovich in these types of films and she does a great job. AT the beginning of the film, I was a little concerned that she too may have been miscasted also, however as the film goes on my concerns were alleviated. In regards to Mr. Olyphant, his star just continues to get brighter. He does a good job also but I cant help but wonder if he drew any inspiration from the character he played in Scream 2 for his role in this film.

If you are looking for a good action film then definitely see this.
