Now matter how much I would write, nothing I could say could give the men and women who has sacrificed and risked their lives fighting for the greatest country in the world. You know, America is not perfect. But despite that, it is and always will be the greatest country in the world. We are a free country and we owe our very freedom, our very existence of being American, to those brave men and women who risk their lives for us. There is nothing we could do, nothing we could ever say which would ever give them the respect and the tribute they deserve. No one deserves our respect more then these people. It sickens my very soul when people have the audacity to criticize our men and women in the armed services. It is appalling and it is a disgrace. These people, many who have sacrificed their lives, have also sacrificed so many other things , in order we can go on and live a safe life.
On this memorial day, is a day in which we take time, to honor these men and women, who have risked their lives and many of them paid for it with their lives. It really is not right to just set aside a few days out of the year. They deserve so much more and the lack of respect and consideration they get is something in which boils my blood. To those who can not support the troops, and I don’t care if you do not agree with the war or not, but if you can not support the troops, then I can have no respect for you whatsoever. The troops deserve so much more respect. But it is on days like Memorial Day which we are celebrating this weekend, we pay tribute to these brave men and women.
I do not kid myself. I know my blog does not have the biggest readership out there. But to any of the brave men and women who have risked their lives, and to those who have lost family and friends because they were willing to sacrifice so much, I just want to say there are no group of people on this earth, that I have more respect for then the men and women who fight in our armed services. They are the greatest people on the earth and I just want to give a hearty thank you. I know it does not do any justice but it is still something in which you deserve and it is the very minimal of what I can do in order to show my gratitude. Thank you for defending this country, and thank you for making this country the greatest in the world. America can never repay what you have given for us.
God Bless our Troops!!!!!! God be with those who have lost a loved one for fighting for this nation. Because there are no greater heroes, save God himself, then our men and women in the armed services.
So when you are sitting with your families this memorial day, take time to pay tribute to , again save Jesus himself, the greatest human beings whoever walked the earth.
And to those who are or have served, I only apologize this could not fully give you the credit and accolades you really deserve.

Word and Character
This I will try to keep shorter, although last time I feel things just got by me. Keeping your word. Your word is a very important , and I consider it one of my most important things. Your word, who you say you are and what you are going to do by themselves are not important. Anyone can open their yap and start talking themselves up or make a bunch of promises to people, but then never act on them, or do not live up to the person they say they are. It is when you actually live you to who you say you are and keep the promises you make, that is when they start meaning something.
Now I am not saying everyone is going to be perfect, and a lot of times in life things happen in which side track you from things you really wanted to. But your word, honor, and integrity are very important things. I had someone falsely accuse me of the man that I am. He questioned my character, my honor, and my word. He found out real quick he had no right and reason to do so. Because even though the situation got complicated for me, I was the man of my word. It is not always keeping our word, in stressful situations or when someone tries challenging us, but being the man I was, I kept it and lived up to the man I am.
This does apply to women by the way; I am not leaving you out. We as people need to be people of our word. Anyone can move their lips and sound real good, but you’re not even close (and yes, I know because of our sin in our life none of us can be good people) to being real people. Because real people keep their words and show their true character in how they live, not just what they choose to say.
As always feel free to comment. I may expand this at some point. If you have any suggestions what should be the next bog, please feel free to leave a suggestion. I will have the new email I promised earlier (and yes I am keeping that promise) later this week.

Friendship
I am going to try to keep this one nice and sweet, but sometimes I really never know how exactly these things are going to turn out. In life you meet a lot of people. It is an only obvious fact that you are going to like some people better than others. Should it happen, well if we are honesty with what the Bible says no. But yet fact remains there are definitely those who you enjoy their company more compared to other people. Yet the question and the issue I pose today is what exactly makes one of those people your friend? And even more so what makes them one of your friends in your close circle?
Because we all have friends yet again it is an obvious nature we are going to have some friends who are closer then others? But what makes them one of your friends in the first place? Obviously there is something about them that at least peeks your interest about them, otherwise there would be no real desire to hang out with them as often as you do or that you want to do.
Yet some people when they are talking about their close friends will have a wide and large group of people. Now on the one hand this may not seem too strange because it just means there is a lot of people you are very close with. But I think one of the key words in the statement which must be addressed is close. Because close in terms of friends is the inner circle, the group of people you trust the most and you can share anything with. The close group of friends who are the people you share the most. Even Jesus had a close group of the disciples. It did not mean he loved the rest any less, but he had his own close group of people. I think too often we may try, and by the way when I say we, again I am also referring to myself, we put too many people in our close circle. I think the close circle of friends should really be exactly that close. It should be more of your inner circle of friends who will always be there and you can actually share anything and everything with.
But more so, I think we need to be careful about who we call our friends in general. Because I think too often we get the ideal of a friend and maybe a close association mixed up. We will meet many people along the road in life and we have many friends. But at some point many of those people we call friends we don’t see or talk too ever again, sometimes even when we have the ability to do so. This makes me question how close we ever were in the beginning. Or if someone calls you their friend, or you call them yours, but then one or both do nothing to show any signs of friendship, which by the way is not really terribly difficult to do, were you really friends in the first place?
I am beginning a process in which I do from time to time. I am evaluating the relationships n my life. Because there are some people who I say are in my close circle maybe don’t really belong there. There are people who I call my friend, sometimes I question if I am really their friend or just a close association, or there are people who I know I have to make more of an effort to be a friend too, if I want to call them my friend.
The point I am making is you are going to meet a lot of people. You will get a long with a lot of people. I am not bringing down close associations. Most people probably do not like that term, but I think it is important to realize who your friends are. Don’t get me wrong, some friends are only for a season, it is going to happen in life, I know from personal experience. But take time as I do and try to honestly reflect on some of those people who you call a friend or who call you a friend. Is there a friendship or is there a “friendship”. And take time to consider who is in your close circle. Because your close circle really should be the people you are friends for life. The people who you could put your very life in your hands and not give it a second thought. Friends are a very important thing, and I think we need to understand just how important they are.
