I never know what to title these entrys

If I were to have done this earlier today I think I would have called it "Leo's lamentations". You see when I got up this morning I was very stiff and it bummed me out. Then I realized my wife spent the whole might with my granddaughter in her room, and that bummed me out. As I walked around the house it was still and quiet, and humid at 6:30 AM, and that bummed me out. I wanted to ride the Harley, but it was too hot to put on jeans, and that bummed me out. So I jumped into my truck and drove to Magnolia & Adams in Huntington Beach. There is a shopping center there where guys show up with all kinds of antique cars and motorcycles and I thought it would be cool to check it out since I hadn't been there in a few years, and maybe I'd even bump into my old buddy Jonesy. As I drove I was kinda pissy just thinking about all the stuff that was bugging me, work, weather, Harlen being hurt all summer, anything that could keep me in my funk. Isn't it weird that some times when you are in a good funk all you can do is find ways to keep your self there? Anyway, as I walked around the parking lot looking at all the cars I noticed all the motorheads and vintage car enthusiasts talking about this and that. It was very obvious that in many cases these were more than simple conversations between people with similar interests, these were people doing LIFE together! We spend so much time at work and doing house stuff and watching my granddaughter, and this and that and the other that it seems like my wife and I hardly are able to do life together much less share it with others. I've been praying for answers. I want to see more than Tustin and O.C. . I want to spend more time with my bros from Bikers For Christ, http://www.bikersforchrist.org/sitemap.htm or go build homes in Mexico, or have lunch with Mike or Rob or Nelson or whoever. I just need to see the way.

Have I ranted about illegal immigration lately? Maybe I'll start calling it "the Mexification of California".

If you have a friend that has everything I'll bet he doesn't have a shampoo dispenser. Think this is a stupid idea? go to this link and you'll see his next gift. http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/gadgets/breastshaped-shampoo-dispenser-190666.php

I heard the best thing the other day. There is this guy in Canada and he had a red paper clip. He decided that he could trade it for something better over and over until he parlayed it into trading for a house. Well in less than a year he completed the quest and has done the final trade and is now a home owner. The whole thing kinda seems like a stoners dream idea come true, but still I just gotta say SSSSWEEEEETTT. Check out his sites: http://www.myspace.com/oneredpaperclip

Hey I am back again! Thanks to Mike Devris and my brother Nelson I am back at the blogger keyboard, Hope It's worth your while.

Since we last visited a warm spring has turned into a HOT summer. I swear at times it's been hotter that the bottom of the devils sneakers at high noon in hell, thats hot I don't care who you are!

Wednesday night Harlen, (with his newly broken foot to match the broken wrist), and I went to Azusa Pacific University to see Leo Reid and a bunch of friends that have escaped So. Cal. to spread the Kingdom in the wilds of Idaho. They are back here for the APU Youth Leadership Conference http://www.yliapu.org/ . Good to see the Dugals and the extended family.

SWEET SUFFER'IN KNUCKLEHEADS. Did ya read about the lady in Oregon that wanted to meet the super hunky cop that showed up down the street on some sort of call? Seems she didn't get to meet him while he was down the street, and couldn't think of a way to meet him other than calling 911 so thats what she did. http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/wire/sns-ap-911-love,0,4524525.story?coll=sns-ap-nationworld-headlines . She got her chance when dispatchers sent the unidentified super hunk to her house to arrest her for misusing the 911 system. No word on if the arrest has blossomed into a dreamy date.

Today is my daughter Sierra's birthday. Happy B-Day.

I was reading the Bible today, (I never know if I should capitalize the in the Bible). It constantly amazes me when I have questions, doubts, insecurities etc and I just open it up and there is what I need right there in my New Living Translation. You see I've been dwelling on my trust in this whole God thing. I've Never seen Him, and sometimes that really bugs me. I think I've heard from him, but it's always been in a non verbal fashion, and I do best with verbal communication, although I do OK with written instructions too, (see honey do list) . Then I realize He communicates with me when I read Scripture. This is what I read today,
" You love him even though you have never seen him. Though you do not see him, you trust him; and even now you are happy with a glorious, inexpressible joy. Your reward for trusting him will be the salvation of your souls.
This salvation was something the prophets wanted to know more about. They prophesied about this gracious salvation prepared for you, even though they had many questions as to what it all could mean. They wondered what the Spirit of Christ within them was talking about when he told them in advance about Christ's suffering and his great glory afterward. They wondered when and to whom all this would happen. 1 Peter 1:8-11.
I guess I just need reassurance.



While I am on the topic of God check out how awesome he is, lightning and a rainbow at the same time. All I can say is WOW. I am glad I can marvel in this, other wise I would figure this was the final light show all my old stoner friends were waiting for.

Well thats all for now. Hope it makes scense to you, 'cause right now it makes scense to me
