    Call Me Irresponsible

    IF...

    If you can keep your head when all about you
    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
    If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
    But make allowance for their doubting too;
    If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
    Or, being lied about , don't deal in lies,
    Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
    And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

    IF you can dream- and not make dreams your master;
    If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
    If you can meet with triumph and disaster
    And treat those two impostors just the same;
    If you bear to hear the truth you've spoken
    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
    Or watch the things you gave your life to be broken,
    And stoop and build 'em up with worn out tools;

    IF you can make one heap of all your winnings
    And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
    And lose, and start again at your beginnings
    And never breathe a word about your loss;
    If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
    To serve your turn long after they are gone,
    And so hold on when there is nothing in you
    Except the will which says to them: "Hold on"

    IF you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
    Or walk with kings- nor lose the common touch;
    If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
    If all men count with you, but none too much;
    If you can fill the unforgiving minute
    With sixty seconds' worth of distance run-
    Yours is the earth and everything thats in it,
    And - which is more- you'll be a Man, my Son!

    By Rudyard Kipling;

    Life as always...

    LOL mmm.... Isn't it always seem to be busy once you get older!  I look at Justin laying on the floor reading or just playing with his CARS.  Laughing to my self.. where did those days go for me!  To be able to sit done and read, or just play or do something.   It seems I'm always doing something and yet there's still more to do.  lol  That's life...  But try to slow down and look around you, listen to whats going on, and just ab-serve your life...  Recently I've start just being quite in the car, "listening" to my thoughts.  Normally I'm cranking up the Music to past the time as I drive, well I've been trying to mix it up, being quite, praying, listening to bible on CD, Talking to my self(ahh I'm going CRAZY!) I'm even going to to try to learn French lol  I'm working a lot of week ends so my Boss can do some things...  mmm well till next time I blog lol ...

  • Thinking...

    colorado_bells_sept22_2 The Secret of Life; Is Letting go...   The Secret of Love; Is Letting it Show...  In all that I do... In all that I say. Right here in this moment;

    The Power of Prayer;  Is in the Humble cry...  The Power of Change;  Is in giving my Life and laying it down, down at your feet.   Right here in this moment.

    Take my Heart, Take my Soul...    And let all that is with in me lift up to you and say...

    I am yours and yours Alone...   Completely.    (unknown)

    LIFE....

    Well Hello There everyone... lol  long time no blogging!    Life here has been full and busy, never a dull moment!  I still try to make time for doing more stuff but never seem to make it.  I have been trying to challenge my self to spend a little more time in the Word and memorizing some verses.   Also 2 maybe read up or watch some more DVDs on  "BBQing" ,"Cooking on the grill" or just and cullernary arts.(something I enjoy... lol)     Plumbing is going well Busy as ever, things never seem to slow done, which i'm thankful for.   I past my 4 year Apprentice program now all I have to do is past my test down state(some thing I need to be studying for!)  Other then that... mmm... Had my wisdom teeth pulled(all 4, not fun!)  turned 24 this past week...    wow that sounds sooo old! lol  not to much, The Lord continues to teach and show me new things as I grow and mature...      Somebody once told me if things are easy and boring, your Not growing! lol

  • Bullet proof to a point...

    ManwithGun "Tho The Bullets may fly and the bombs rain down, yet my trust is in the Lord, My Shield, Protector, and Commander."   ....Onward to Battle...

    Been thinking of life... none of us know when its our time to go.  All we know is that God is in control, and that we should take comfort in that.

    "Stone Wall Jackson" Said as he would stand out in the fields of battle with bullets flying around him   "I'm as Safe here, as in my own bed"  Why should I fear, my God has my life in is hands.  And He will do with it as He so Chooses.  God Knows ALOT more then we do! 

    "The Lord is my Rock and my Fortress and my Deliverer, my God, my Rock, in whom I take Refuge, my Shield, and the Horn of my Salvation, my Stronghold."   Psalm 18:2

  • What a week, What a day, What a Life...

    Well Early this week my truck and my bosses Truck got robbed.  Took all the power tools, and some of the "Rodders"  Bummer...  My boss and his family left Wednesday for Florida.   So I am here Running "All Suburban Plumbing"    2 trucks, no tools... one guy... enough work for 3 guys... lol    Thursday went along with just a couple of jobs here and there.  THEN came Friday!  lol  I started early trying to take care of the first job quick... but the lady forgot to show up.. uh  o well   next job went fine till .... I was getting paid We heard yelling and fighting going on up front(we were on the back porch) the lady said   "You better get out of here, I calling the cops its a gang fight!"  uh  OK  I took off walking( VERY FAST) Jumped into my truck,  squealing my tires to get away  things were not looking good.  I kept thinking whens the gun fire gona happen? There was 4-5 guys outside and a few more inside... I was not in a very good part of a town...   but I'm alive and well lol  did a quick job then had a short break, waiting for some more jobs to come in....  It came...  in the way of a 911 I NEED A PLUMBER My toilet is shooting out water( lol Dirty water)     "Quick Robin to the Bat Cave" Well  I had no Robin(Luke) so a went... Alone     Their main sewer was block( later found it was broke right in fount of the house)   So I had to carefully drain the sewer...  was not the best job...   got them open tho,  but I will be digging them up this week to fix the break.  did a couple more jobs  lol 2nd to last job  I'm getting out of my truck, when the wind SLAMS my door shut , knocking me out of the way uh!  keys still in there with all the doors locked... Great!  lol  Mr. Speziale had to drive me for a new set from the house(boss)  Well here I am at my last Job...  Tired, Dirty, Wet, ready for a bed and shower!  But God had different plans for me... lol  My last job should of takin 20minutes   take the ladies tiolet up, replace the wax seal at floor, re-install toilet and all done,  But no...  guess I had a change of heart  this elderly Lady is quite old, lives by her self, never married, gave her life for the lord,  she wears a wool coat year round.  no body to take care of her.    I wanted to get the job done and leave...    But I felt God telling me "why do you think I planned this Job for Last?"   So I stopped my rush... and began to talk and visit with this little old lady who nobody really cares for, till now...  she played the Piano for me  Hymns and waltz songs,  we talked of life and things past  till it was time for me to go....    Isn't that just Like God!  ready to show us things or has a different plan for us!   I was so busy wanting to get back, I almost missed it!   Selfish    But God knows best  and just how to change me...   What A God we Have and Serve.

  • Hardships...

    Life is what we make of it,  whether we choose to Enjoy life's moments being good or bad.  We choose to live the way we do, things can knock us off our feet.    Take today, you always think it happens to the other person, but not today my work truck and my bosses got ripped off(Robbed Clean) we barely had enough tools for one truck!  I had just bought a brand new "DEWALT" cordless tool set, Gone.  they took some off our "Rodders"   Alot of stuff was missing.       Anger , Confused, upset,   emotion races though me... why me why this!    but then if you stop and think "Everything works for His Good(GODS)"  who knows if my tools might find there way into the hands of some guy who really needs them... or just that those guys are sinners, just like me, in need of their Savior!  So I move on lol Looking for new tools  lol   But isn't that just the thing, things can be going fine we start to relax, and Gods sends something our way that brings us closer to Him!    "yea I walk though the Valley of the Shadow of Death, I will fear No Evil"   IN that way how shall we Live!  To make every day to the Glory of our King, To better our self, the giving up our self for others.   For some of us it can be easy...  But I think for most its not easy.   But I think that's what makes life Special,  the hardships, trials, the Good, all that makes life what it is!

    lol  Maybe none of this made sence lol  I just started typing...

  • The End of "Persuasion" by J.A.

     rupert_440x293

     I must go, uncertain of my fate;  but I shall return hither, or follow your party, as soon as possible.  A Word, a Look will be Enough to decide whether I Enter your Father's house this evening, or never.            

           signed    "Captain Wentworth" 

     

    A part of a letter written to Anne(main person)  I will not go into further detail.  Only that if you have not read it, you should...   It is a classic "Jane Austen" novel  to me very well written...   Not your typical Guys book  but would recommend it to anybody...  Mom gave it to me to read... lol after that reading I need either the next "binding of the blade books"or the 3rd "Eragon" books (coming soon)
