To my son Sean: I hope you get better soon. I love you and miss you son. I still look forward to our daddy and son fishing trip and I am confident we will have it one day. You are a good man and loved by many. You are in my thoughts and prayers daily. Nothing or no one can stop my love for you though some may try.

My favorite quote of the week:
" its not hard to have faith in God you just got to believe" Rhianna Angelic faith

My Savior
Lost I was
Bound for
Hell for all
The sins I’d
Committed
Sentenced
Condemned
On my way to a hell reserved for Satan and his angels
Though I was wicked and had hurt many others, Jesus
Forgave me of my sins and washed me clean of all my
Faults. I am now bound for eternity as a Prince, a child
Of the king
I’m washed
Purified of
All my sins
There’s joy
In my heart
It replaced
my sadness
I serve him
with joyful
songs in my
heart. For I
love Christ
my one true
Friend who
Shall never
Walk away
Why would you be in rebellion against and reject a God who loves you?
I have found the greatest challenge in life is not becoming rich, powerful, famous, or "successful"...... The biggest challenge in life is closing the gap between what I am and what God made me to be.
Quote by me Mark Nations
I love this quote also:
People may forget what you said, people may forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

A sweet poem written to me by my precious AP Daughter Bren (ButterflyforChrist)
A MAN OF TRUTH
A spiring to be what God has planned for him to be
R eaching out to the hearts of others
K eeping those he cherishes close to his heart
Author notes
Love you big brother! That's for you!
awwww thanks Bren, you are a sweetie!
Though I am a new writer I do like to read poetry that is outside the type that I write. I want to learn to expand my horizons so I can understand all types of poetry.

I am a retired Air Force Master Sgt. I am currently working again among soldiers as a defense contractor in the Middle East. To be exact I live and work in Kuwait. It is funny to live in a country I helped liberate so many years ago in the first Gulf War. I may be a retired soldier but I am gentle, peace-loving, and giving. I am also passionate and very emotional. I long for a world of peace and peaceful relationship with others. I hate fighting and back-biting. I love the company of a few few friends and I can spend hours with one trusted friend.
I dedicate the following quote to my dear friend Vickie (memorymaker)
Thanks for your patience, kindness, strength. You have stood by me through many things over the last couple of years. Vickie is a woman of compassion and grace.
"Friends. A simple word isn't it? It's uttered everyday to almost every person imaginable. Who are your friends? I used to think that friends were the people that you could laugh and talk to. Now I know that friends aren't that, they're the people that touch your heart. You could spend hours with them doing nothing at all and it can be the best time of your life, just because it was with them. They're the people you can share your secrets with, cry with, laugh with, and just have fun with. They don't judge you or make you change. They accept you exactly as you are. They look at you and they see a great person, you are the one they love spending time with. You all share something in common and are tied together by memories, tears, laughs and smiles. You're tied together by love for the other. Friendship is the strangest but greatest thing in the world. I find my time with my friends, the best times of my life. My friends are my heart, my soul, my fun, my laughter, tears, love and my life." -Kate Tierney
