Well!..."Let's Just Sort It Out!"

     "GOD IS GOOD!"...    "ALL THE TIME!"


    Their is so much stuff to sort out because I have neglected my writing for a long time...Which is so typical for me cuz when life is good...And trust me when I tell you that Life has been very goooooood  now for quite a spell!   PTL!


...Writing... for me in the past, is something that I Do when I am Depressed, in need of therapy.   Writing  is very therapeutic and what I tend to do when I need to work out the kinks...  and get  my life Sorted out!...


...Let's see if I can make some sense out of where we left off...  on this blessed Grand Adventure that God has so richly gifted us with... in this thing that we call living ...

...One of the more popular soap operas of our day is titled...


...."THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES"...


......So much has happened!


Our Family Business   "GODSPEED TRANSPORTATION"   ...Has been Growing at a tremendous pace...Blessing and Tribulation all in one...


...Aimee Beth, Our oldest, left her husband Joe, our Dear Son-In -Law, and now her divorce has been finalized.  Our 2 Grandsons  Jaron and Ethan are now Walking Wounded from a broken home!...Just Like Their Papaw!...Major Tribulation...


..."MAY GOD'S AWESOME HEALING POWERFUL LOVING HANDS PROTECT AND HEAL AIMEE, JOE, AND THOSE BEAUTIFUL BOYS...IN JESUS' NAME!"   AMEN!

...Michael II (Repeat) and his beautiful wife Jessie are expecting their 3rd child, Grand Baby #8...Michael just completed his 1st 4 years in the Army @ E5 Sargeant and decided to Re-Up his enlistment in hopes of landing a local recruiting assignment???

...Very much to our dismay his next duty is a deployment mission to Afghanistan...Heavenly Father Please deploy strong Warfareing angels round about our beloved heroes singing songs of deliverance Selah.

...With the Shield of Faith, Establish a blood hedge of protection between His men and their enemy, quenching all the Fiery Darts of the Wicked Ones!!!

...My wife,  His Bride,  and myself were so looking forward to his discharge and him moving into their new home in Battle Creek more for Michael III's (3Peat), Kiera's sake and now their new child whose name and gender are still waiting to be revealed...

...We are so proud of Michael's and Tyler's willingness to put it all on the line for what is supposed to be our fight against  radical Islamo Fascist Terrorism...

...I have to believe though with all my heart that their is not one Hot Blooded Mother's Son or their Patriotic families that would be willing to trade one ounce of our loved ones Precious blood for one barrel of foreign crude oil...

...Family, Freedom and God's Kingdom...His will be done... are the values worth fighting and dieing for...

Our youngest, April Danielle,  Alexus, Seth, And our (Son)-In-Law, Tyler Bowman Added to the families ranks with a beautiful Baby Girl Named Brindley shortly after buying their first home in the big beautiful thriving metropolis of downtown Martin Michigan...

...I was so Pissed though when I got the news That Tyler went and seen the Local Army recruiter and enlisted In The NoBama era Army...Just an innate Father Knows best arrogance that I often times suffer from...

...Words can't express how proud I was when we Recently attended Tyler's Graduation from Boot/Basic Training @ Fort Jackson,  South Carolina...It was Bitter sweet though as April... and  for the first time in those grand babies lives have moved away from us to San Angelo, Texas...

...They have been gone for 3 weeks now and my heart aches every day from missing them,  I just seen a video on the internet of Brindley crawling for the very 1st time and it brought tears to my eyes knowing that I would probably be missing many of those first times but then I remembered how sweet and appropriate it must be for Tyler to be the one to see and share His childrens many first precious moments.  Cherish them dearly kids and don't take those moments for granted because life is so short and it will be sooner than you think that you will be in my shoes with your adult children and grandchildren...

...HOW FAST TIME FLIES!!! 

...On Feb. 15, 2011 we closed on buying a house in the Washington Square neighborhood...Ironically the house is 1/2 a block from the first apartment that Beth and I lived in when we got married in 1977.  We've come full circle again, Geographically...

...It's an amazing story of God's provision for our lives once again in the ways He worked to provide us with a roof over heads...If you remember and have been paying attention, I previously stated that their were promises that God made to us through His word that were conditional upon us seeking The Kingdom of God First and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto us...

Pop Quiz time!

  What 3 things Did God Say He would do for us?   And where Can we find those Promises in His Word?

"KNOCK AND THE DOOR SHALL BE OPENED UNTO YOU, SEEK AND YE SHALL FIND, ASK AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN UNTO YOU!"  "HALLELUJAH!"

     1.Shelter

      2. Food

         3.Clothing

..."Therefore I say unto you, Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on.  Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?"

..."Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your Heavenly Father feeds them.  are you not of more value than they?"

..."Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?"

..."So why do you worry about clothing?  Consider the Lillies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin;"

..."and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all of his glory was not arrayed like one of these."

..."Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, oh you of little faith?"

..."Therefore do not worry, saying, what shall we eat?  or what shall we drink?  Or what shall we wear?"

..."For after all these things the gentiles seek.  For your Heavenly Father Knows that you need  all these things."

..."BUT SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU!"...

..."Therefore do not worry about tomorrow,  for tomorrow will take care of itself, for sufficient for today is the evil thereof."...
