First of all, yes I am alive and I due plan to blog regularly again.
Moving on, over the last few weeks my life has been VERY VERY heckit and tough due to work. I will not go into details except to say that lots of stress, drama, and TONS of work. The good news is that God has provided OVER and OVER and given me the strength to go on when I did not think I could. He truly is the God of the valley and the God of the mountains. He also is the King of kings. No person, no law, no nation, no company/ employer, no force, no anything has dominion over Him and when you are in Him there is NOTHING that can control you, or that you should fear, as He is in charge.
The last few weeks have really made me appreciate my great wife, my incredible parents, and my family / close friends even more then normal, but I told you a brief summary of what the last few weeks of my life have been to say this – these last few weeks have really made me appreciate the “small” things of my life even more.
The “small” things in my life are huge in the lives of many though. A warm house and good bed are two incredible blessings, and the last few weeks those have meant ALOT to me. Cars that run, food in the fridge, and the time / freedom to daily pray and talk to God. What blessings, what gifts, what love, and what care God shows me daily.
Being able to pray and talk to God is not a small thing, but unfortunately it can become so common and normal that many times we forget just how special it is to be able to talk directly to the creator of the universe. The death of Jesus took down the veil between us and God, we should never take that sacrifice for granted.
Overall today though I just want to take this time to say – God is good all the time, and that he does provide. The valley’s can be deep and dark, but He can and will light my / your / our way if we allow Him too. Don’t forget that when the tough times come and don’t let this season of celebration go by without remembering who really is in charge.

Thanks for the update, brother. I’m continuing to pray for you as you come to mind. Will be in your area a few days before Christmas and would love to stop by and chat if our schedules both permit. Peace.
Milton, sorry it took me a while to comment back – work is still busy. Thanks for checking in on me and it would be great if we could meet up while you are near / in Ktown. Talk to you soon.
