I Really Don't Do This Enough

It has been a long time. Between all that has been going on, it's been really hard to keep up with this site. I know I've said many times that I want to update as often as possible. And I've said that mostly to myself. But I apologize to those who actually come to this thing to see whats going on with me. In a nutshell I have been really busy. Probably busier than I've ever been before. I am at the point of slowing down and am on the other side of craziness. Between the church changing locations (which is an ordeal all on it's own), trying to get a cd finally accomplished, trying to pay bills, and trying to be a good Husband and Dad to a family of six, man I am wiped. It's getting close to that time when I need to take inventory and decide on the things that I really need to think about vs. things I don't. Yes folks once again it's time to simplify. I can slowly feel my health deteriorate. As a diabetic (which I think somewhere I forgot in my mind how big of an issue this is for my body) You are real susceptible to leg amputations if you do not take care of yourself. They say if your lags start to tingle or become numb that this is a sign. Now in my mind at this point, I cannot tell the difference between abnormal numbness or just sore legs from standing most of the day. Now I'm noticing that even if I sit most of the day there is still awkward numbness. This is caused by bad blood flow due to being over weight and a smoker. I know, I know the smoking thing and yes I am a moron. I have however decreased my smoking by about half and am on my way to finally quitting. I now smoke about five a day which by most smokers standards. Doesn't compare to the pack and a half to two packs a day. Nevertheless, does not justify my actions. the truth of the matter is that I am addicted to it. And I am praying for strength and I want my God to intervene. Ugggg. Not trying to bring anyone down but these are just some things I'm going through and now is not the time to unload. All in all, most of my work in changing locations is done. Now it's time to just try and get comfortable in a new environment. I still kinda feel like I'm in a strangers church and that they asked me to lead worship for a few Sundays. It's been about a month now and I'm just starting to realize that this is our new home. The place is so big. As always I'll end with...Anyway, here are some recent pics and vids and I'll try to post more sooner..Maybe if I ever get an office computer.

P.S. The cake is one that Erin made out of snack cakes for a wedding. She's trying to get in the biz.
