...as soon as I can get all the planks out of my eyes.. lol

We need to be wise and test the spirits around us so that we are not deceived, but until I am perfect I'm not going to cast judgment on anyone!.. till then I say we all need to work on being more like Jesus!.. and one day we will meet Him face to face, and what a day of rejoicing that will be!...

Yendor Florida bound .... again!.......... Dec 6, 2007 6:49 am

Yes the great State of Florida will be blessed to have Yendor visit them for the second time this year!...

I am going to Orlando with the Youth Group of my church to attend the International Wesleyan Youth Convention.. it should be alot of fun.. We will be renting a bus to take us down there.. It's going to take 24 hours to get there... I hope there is something left of us when we arrive there!..lol

The theme of the convention is "Set Apart"...


"Everyday you make a decision for God... Discover what it means to be set apart for God, His purpose, purity, the calling and for life. The speakers will deliver this message of hope & holiness."

I am excited to see how is God going to touch the youth of our church.. and also I pray that there will be a renewing of His Spirit in me..

I know I joke around alot here on this site, but I do want it known that I very seriously believe in the Holiness of our Father in heaven and His call to His people to be Holy..


Leviticus 19:2
"Speak to the whole community of Israel. Tell them, 'Be holy, because I am holy. I am the Lord your God.

1 Peter 1:16
It is written, "Be holy, because I am holy."


I know that I fall short everyday, and that I am far from where I should be, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't strive to be more like Him everyday..

So please pray that We will have a safe trip and that God will be able to move in everyones hearts (both leaders and kids), so that we will know that we are His people and that He is our God, and that He wants us to be "set apart" to do His will...

Can't fight this feeling............ not a normal Yendor post!.. lol Nov 29, 2007 9:11 am

As I was driving home from work yesterday listening to the radio a song by Reo Speedwagon came on 'Can't fight this feeling' ...

This song brought back so many memories for me.. you see this was 'our song' I danced my first dance with my new bride to this song at our wedding.. the words to this song touch me in so many ways on how I felt about my new bride.. I was so in love, and for the first time in my life I felt so secure in her love for me..

When I heard this song again yesterday those very same feelings came back to me.. Oh to be young and in love, it was a great time in my life.. and for the first time since my divorce I had a memory of my life with my wife that I felt good about.. there was no sorrow, no griff, no if only's, no pain at all just a good memory of a life that I once lived..

I had never thought that this could be.. I had always thought that I would see our past life together as a waste.. maybe there were good years, but because our marriage didn't make it, and all of the hurt pains of a divorce how could I feel good about the good times we had together..

Well yesterday I did feel good about a piece of our past life together.. and it felt good to feel good about it.. I guess time does help to heal even a broken heart.. I'm sure there is scarring, and I could never be young again.. but to love and feel that way about someone, I do miss it, and maybe by God's grace I could feel this way about someone again...


CAN'T FIGHT THIS FEELING (Reo Speedwagon)

I can't fight this feeling any longer.
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow.
What started out as friendship,
Has grown stronger.
I only wish I had the strength to let it show.

I tell myself that I can't hold OUT forever.
I said there is no reason for my fear.
Cause I feel so secure when we're together.
You give my life direction,
You make everything so clear.

And even as I WANDER,
I'm keeping you in sight.
You're a candle in the window,
On a cold, dark winter's night.
And I'm getting closer than I ever THOUGHT I MIGHT.

And I can't fight this feeling anymore.
I've forgotten what I started fighting for.
It's time to bring this ship into the shore,
And throw away the oars, forever.

Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore.
I've forgotten what I started fighting for.
And if I have to crawl upon the floor,
Come crashing through your door,
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore.

My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you.
I've been running round in circles in my mind.
And it always seems that I'm following you, girl,
Cause you take me to the places,
That alone I'd never find.

And even as I wander,
I'm keeping you in sight.
You're a candle in the wind,
On a cold, dark winter's night.
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might.

And I can't fight this feeling anymore.
I've forgotten what I started fighting for.
It's time to bring this ship into the shore,
And throw away the oars, forever.

Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore.
I've forgotten what I started fighting for.
And if I have to crawl upon the floor,
Come crashing through your door,
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore.

I want me one of them there Holodecks for Christmas!... lol Nov 23, 2007 11:26 am

Remember on Star Trek The Next Generation.. they had what was a Holodeck.. A Holodeck is a simulated reality program that you can program anything you want and live in that reality.. if things didn't work out the way you wanted it you could just sop the program rewrite it and go on..lol

So don't you think it would be nice to have your very own Holodeck?.. just think if you have a bad day at work when you get home you just program the Holodeck and you'd be on a sandy beach in Hawaii!.. lol .. the kids are stressing you out, so you make a program and your on a cruise ship in the Caribbean Sea!.. the bill collectors are ringing your phone you just go to the Holodeck where money is no object, and your living like King!.. lol a real life fantasy Island anytime you wanted it.. lol

I remember when I was child I had little Match box, and Hot Wheels cars I loved those cars.. A lot of my friends would race their cars, but me I would sit on the floor for hours and play with my cars... I was in my own little fantasy world, I would just imagine life the way I thought it should be.. I'd create little homes with little garages.. Little service stations where I could go to get my little cars fixed.. I was in my own little world where I was safe, and I could be anybody I wanted to be...

..ok so there is no such thing has a Holodeck and I'm too old to play with cars.. I have to face life challenges everyday, and alot of times it doesn't turn out the way I want it to.. but thats life, the good, the bad, and the ugly... it is what makes us who we are.. Not everyone is going to like us, or even treat us fairly... it is from these life challenges that show our true character, and when we fail we should learn from that failure.. So by the time we get to be 969 years old we may start to get things right.. lol

I know that both Christian and non-Christian have their troubles, but it is hard for me to imagine going through the trails of life and not have God's love and mercy with me.. and in the end we are promised eternal life where it would put shame anything we could ever imagine to create in a Holodeck..

..but do you think meanwhile I could sometimes get out my little cars and play with them?... lol

I was side swiped last week!......... Nov 12, 2007 1:53 pm

I was on my way home from a long day at work, and while I was driving I noticed some guy close behind me beeping his horn!... I was at first confused on way would he be beeping his horn at me.. then I realized that I was going 10 miles under the speed limit!..

So rather then just him ignoring me and just go around me so that he could do what ever speed he wanted he chose to to take his frustrations out on me... when he finely did get around me he felt that he needed to CUT me off when he got back into my lane... our cars didn't hit, but I did have to hit my brakes so that we didn't hit!..

Then when we got up to the traffic light I was making a left turn and he was going strait.. yes so that meant that we were next to each other while the light was red.. so he continued to take his frustrations out at me.. yelling at me what the speed limit was and that if I was going to be driving on the road that I needed to be going the speed limit..

Its hard for me say how I was feeling the rest of the way home (in which I made sure that I did the speed limit.. lol) but I had a sick feeling in my stomach.. I was confused on how a man that didn't know anything about me could act the way he did towards me!..

He didn't know if I had bad day.. he didn't know if I was hurt.. He didn't know if I was having car problems.. He knew nothing about me.. All he knew was that I was not doing/acting the way he wanted me to.. so he was going to lash out at me..

I too didn't know anything about this man, so me being a good Christian I yelled back at him calling him a jerk!.. lol ..but he too could of had a bad day.. maybe he got layed off that day, maybe someone close to him was very sick.. and that was why he was acting the way he did... so I said a prayer for him...

Well today when I read Pat's (americandreamer)post I had that same sick feeling in my stomach.. I feel as though she had side-swiped me with her post.. I'm not sure why she picked me as one of the men to point out as her being disappointed in men!..

I know that I am no woman's dream husband, heck if I was I'd still be married!... but I do have feelings... Feelings that can be hurt.. and today she hurt those feelings... I have never pretended to be anything here but myself.. and that is a goof... and I admit that sometimes I may have stepped over the line being a goof, but it has never been to hurt or offend anyone..
I would think that if someone was to take the time to know me they would know what I say here is true.. and that when I hurt, I hurt deeply..

I am not writing this post to lash back at Pat.. I don't know much about Pat and the things that she may be going through in life.. I have always thought kindly of her.. and I pray only the best for her..

I guess I need to take a good look at why I'm here in the blogs.. The blogs are alot different now then they were when I first started blogging.. and BC was to me what I needed it to be at a time when I needed it most..

I Wonder.......... Sep 27, 2007 8:15 pm

I Wonder.. when Gods looks down from Heaven and sees His children does He smile?.. Is there a joy in His heart when He thinks of us?..

I Wonder.. when Gods looks at my life and sees the good and the bad, does He love me anyways?.. Does He say He is proud of me?..

I Wonder.. when God sees me struggle, does He want to encourage me?.. Does He want to cheer me on?..

I Wonder.. when God See's my pain and hurts, Does He cry with me?.. Does He want to comfort me?..

Its wasn't until I had my own children that I could even try to understand the love that God has for me.. I remember holding my first child in my arms and his big brown eyes just staring back at me as if saying "I trust you for everything daddy, to feed me, clothe me, protect me.."

I remember thinking how much I love this little guy, and that I loved him so much that I would give my very on life for him..

That baby boy is a young man now and depends on me very little, yet when I look at him or his younger brother I smile, and when I think of them there is a joy in my heart for how much I love them..

When they do wrong I still love them and am proud of who they are..

When they struggle with life I do my best to encourage them and cheer them on..

When they hurt and are in pain I cry with them, and want to protect them!...

Matthew 6:25-34
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? "And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, `What shall we eat?' or `What shall we drink?' or `What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

There's been a slew of new pretty young ladies winking at me lately... and it makes me think that there must be something very appealing about me for these beautiful 29 years old to want me!.. lol

I get such a kick when they email me and say that they want to settle down and have a family with me..lol don't they know that thats the quickest way to make a middle age man to flee from them?... lol

..but then again maybe they just can't resist the pony tail!... lol
