Have I been doing it all wrong?

I saw something on the news this morning regarding blogging and use of twittering. It implied a blog might be more of an on-line journal. So I have been writing with readers in mind, which, I doubt I have. So now I just am going to write and post pictures and if anyone reads, so be it.

I have a great deal to journal, a divorce almost four years ago, being savaged by an biased and sexist judge, Marie L. Williams of the Third Circuit Court of Hamilton County in Chattanooga Tennessee. Trying to pay a high child support and wrong and outrageous alimony to an undeserving women, my home stolen from me along with many other possessions. All while trying to keep my income high enough to live myself and support my wife and myself.
I do have many more blessings then things to complain about, I have a great relationship with the Lord, a beautiful wife and lots of kids and grand kids both my own and through marriage to Pam. We have has some ups and downs, unemployment, lower paying jobs but in all I have been doing great and have much to be thankful for in the end. Every day my blessing outnumber any hardships. Those can be handled just by be living in God and having faith in his promises.

I can say that I don't think my ex-wife is as happy as I am! I have so much diversity in my life.
I have a part-time hobby job at the Vaudeville Cafe Murder Mystery Dinner shows in Chattanooga,TN. I play about four different roles in three plays and get to have a lot of improv comedy fun and meet a lot of people.
I have a great job as a programmer at TVA. I have a great church, The Ministry Center, in Hixson, TN. More friends and family than I think I have ever had, so I am very blessed.

So I have has the song says, taken back, with Gods help and blessing, what the devil stole from me, my devils are Marie Williams and my ex-wife but I still have to work hard to forgive them as I hope they can forgive me. I have a lot I can add on these subjects I want to journal in the future.

But I want to use this blog as first my own sounding board, what anyone else gains if anyone ever reads it, that will be great but it needs to be a daily thing to write and post here. I think it will do me the most good because I get it off my chest and then can let it go if it is a bad thing and remind myself of the good things.

So till tomorrow, God Bless You if you are reading this and God bless me and my enemies if I have any..................sure if?

The Twins are here

I have been way behind in my posting and need to catch up. Last Sunday the twins made their right on time and safe entry into the world. Both Mother and babies are in great shape. The girls are beautiful and healthy.

There was a complication with medication that caused the twins and their mom to go back in the hospital but all is fine now and they are back home.

What a weekend!!!!!!!!!

We, Pam and I had a great weekend. It was filled with all the important things in our life, God, Church, family, friends and some time with each other.

God is really moving in our church, The Ministry Center, Hixson, TN. Our pastor Jim Milligan is really building and sustaining the fire in our church with our recent revival with Tommie Zito Ministries and the continuing Sundays full of uplifting worship and lots of spirt-filled time in prayer, praying for each other and worshipping and thanking the Lord for his delivered and continuing blessings and just being the amazing awesome God he is for us even when we don't realize it. We are even starting a webcast on Sundays, that is in the works but coming soon.

We had family in from Alabama, Sandy and Chase who stayed with my in-laws but were able to come to my late show at the Vaudeville Cafe, in Chattanooga. We had two great shows on Saturday night, if you have never been then you need to go! We had packed out audience's for both shows and I hope that continues, we have a lot of specials running right now. I know I have a bunch of shows in April, one is even on the river boat, I am looking forward to that show.

Lastly I love the new and old contacts I am developing on Facebook, I have made contacts with all the people I know in my church, the Vaudeville Cafe, highschool, other places I worked and the military, my son, kid's I coached in baseball with my son but are adults now. It let's you keep up with and be involved with so many people, I just don't ever want to spend som much time on it I don't get out in "real" life.

Well that is enough rambeling for today! Have a good week, if anybody but me reads this?

This has been a great week

I can say that this has been a great week. My church, The Ministry Center, in Hixson, Tn has been having a revival. A Holy Interuption, this has been one of the most interesting revivals I have ever been to because of the evangelist, Tommy Zito, of Tommy Zito Ministries.org. This guy is great and so relevent to today and the problems of this country and this world.
The prayer and teaching has been great along with wonderful praise and worship but also the information regarding the problems and issues facing Christianity in the future and the United States and the people of this country has been very informative and insightful.
This has been a wake up call for me and I think many in our church.

7pm Wednesday: 10am and 7pm Thursday: 10am and 7pm Friday: 10am and 7pm Saturday: 10am Worship services nightly and teaching and Outreach every morning Tuesday through Saturday @ 10am

Service's will be going on for tne next four nights and the training Tommie is doing in witnessing and bringing God to the outside of the church, is going on in the morning for those days. The links I have on this page will take you to the schedules, I encorage anyone in the Chattanooga-Hixson area to attend if you can. And if you are looking for a great church you cannot beat The Ministry Center in Hixson.

Post Valentines Day in Gatlinburg,TN

Pam and I are spending a few days in Gatlinburg,the day after Valentines. We had a dinner with the family on Valentines day.
Yesterday we went around town shopping, this is the first time we have stayed downtown. We walked all over and then had ribs at a great place, Bennett's BBQ. I recommend the ribs and the sides were also great. We also went to Ober Gatlinberg, never been, watched sking and skating, Pam wants to do it, she has skied, me,,,,,,not so much. We stayed at the Fairfield Inn in downtown and had a king room with a fireplace and big,,,huge tub, great. It overlooked the stream.
We are going down to Pigeon Forge for more shopping, I love Pam, I love it the weather is great. I will hit the B+D store and find tools. Need summer shirts also

I need to blog more now that I have the mini laptop

Gene

I have been lazy in many things

Since the holidays I have not worked out, not posted to this blog and not prayed as much as I should.
The not working out has been because of the cold, I hate getting my old bones up at 5:30 and to the gym, I have to start a new way of working out. I also have been at this new TVA job for the last three weeks and have been very involved in putting my VB development and .Net skills to the task of developing a weld tracking program, it is very interesting.
During and since the holidays my wife and I have had a number of guest and it has been great but soon we need some time for ourselves. We have had my son, Gene and his wife Casey and my grandson, Carter here for the last week or so as they make there transition to Ft. Carson, CO in February. It is a lot of fun having a baby around when you can give him to someone else when he cry's, I am going to miss them when they go.
But my wife's daughter is soon delivering twins so we will have no shortage of grand kids.
We just changed back to our old church, The Ministry Center, it is great, and you can feel the Holy Spirit filling the place on Sunday and Pastor Jim has been providing us some great preaching. You can feel the growth coming, I know I and I hope many others are praying that way.
I am going to try to post more and add pictures more. I need to get back to it in the morning. Now that I googled my name and it shows up.

A New Project at TVA

I start my new job at TVA today. I am so excited
