I want to look back on this with my Brother. Here it is for the world to mirror! —————————————————————————— You both are running around the city getting ready. Dan you are in my bathroom shaving off your peach fuzz and LuLu you are rolling your hair. What you both don’t realize is that it doesn’t matter. What you will remember this day is the feeling of being on the altar together. All the things that have stressed you both out, plates at a dinner, music in a hall, and is everyone taken care of will fade away. Dan what you will remember is the way your wife looked into your eyes as you exchange vows. Lindsey you will remember the warmth of Dan’s hand on yours as he squeezes to reassure you everything is okay. ...

I love this song, it is a little hard rock but the lyrics hit me so hard. It is refreshing to hear Christian music that talks about the true struggle. ————— Feeling cold, feeling empty. Set the stage, where you want me. And this crowd right before me doesn’t care that I’m dying. And the audience stands with their eyes fixed on the preconceived version of me. I’m so betrayed by your hopes, but I will not hide myself for your peace of mind. ...

God, the Father of mercies, through the death and resurrection of his Son has reconciled the world to himself and sent the Holy Spirit among us for the forgiveness of sins; through the ministry of the Church may God give you pardon and peace, and I absolve you from your sins in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. R/. Amen.

Since the accident I have been rocking a lot of short sleeve shirts. That is great if it was summer, but winter is killing me. The past few mornings I made the attempt and hurt like hell. Today it was like butter and there I was rocking a sweater. WOOT WOOT!

In a fight recently, I wrote down a list of needs. The boat had done sailed by time these were written down but I left them on my fridge (along with what Nick did bad mind you) to remind myself. Then again I said this 3 years ago too. Who knows but I wanted to post them and have this to search back for also. Together – We do things together, we hold the same line together, we exist together Communication – Can you hear me now? Less Cursing – Yarr Matey I don’t be wantin to date a sailor Yarrr On-Time – Cell Phones, Google Calendar, Watches, no reason to be late for stuff Clean Home – Sexist and old school? Nope! This is how I feel loved Push me to Christ – Last thing I need in my spiritual walk is a boat anchor, sometimes you can’t help but carry but other times I need a swift kick in the butt Stop Caring for the World – Who gives 2 craps and a cookie what so-and-so down the road thinks? Be here when I get home – Nothing worse than traveling for 2 weeks and someone not be home when you pull up Respect “Our” Decisions – There is a good chance I didn’t want to do something, but it is OUR Decision. “Hold the line!” as they say in battle Plan with me – If you want to be with me, be with me. That means telling your team what the plan is Share the good/bad – I don’t live in a fairy tale, neither should you. Life sucks sometimes but let me be there with you when it does Tell me about your feelings despite my load – Yep, I am a busy guy and have a lot on my plate. That doesn’t mean hiding it from me. My one escape is the “us” stuff and I live to be a superman Catholic Family – My family will attend mass and love the sacraments. All of us, all of the time Stay at Home Wife – Oh geez another being sexist! Nope! Our kids deserve the best the world can offer and the best is their Mom. The greatest job is a Mom.
