Keeping In Touch.

 Honestly, sometimes I'm guilty of thinking that no one really cares about anyone outside of their immediate family. The cruelness of the world in general, paired with apathy and self destructive tendencies, lead me to feel that I'm in this alone most of the time. While most people didn't comment on the blog, or the Facebook post, the viewership of the post was one of the highest I've had on TFTF. I think this shows that there are people that do care about each others well being. I just wanted to let you guys know that I appreciate it, and while nothing as changed so far, I feel God moving in our situations. I'm not sure where it will lead us, but I feel the trust between me and my maker growing deeper and deeper, by the day. I ask you guys to continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Anyways, here are some updates since I've been either working on the Top 25 Countdown, or absent.

*My son has went a week without wearing diapers. This is pretty cool, as he picked up potty training rather quickly. He never ceases to amaze me with his smarts and determination. Proud of you buddy!
*This is old news now, but I thought I would say that I think the Justice system worked in the Trayvon Martin case. There wasn't enough evidence and the jurors knew it. It's tiring the way that people like Al Sharpton and the like continue to use black people as a way to make money and garner attention. Making cases about unfortunate situations into race conflicts benefit no one and set the entire country back in terms of growth. There are plenty of cases of black on white, black on black crimes in America that no one talks about. Why? Because the media cannot capitalize on it like they can on a minority. Wake up people.
* I downloaded 3 new Albums that are pretty good. My Heart To Fear- "Algorithm" , We Came as Romans-  "Tracing Back Roots", and my favorite Phinehas- "The Last Words Are Yours To Speak." Phinehas is an amazing band with an extreme heart and understanding of God. Reminds me a lot of Haste The Day.

Also, I would like to mention a couple of situations I would like for you guys to pray for:

 *My sister-in-law and her family are dealing with a health situation that involves her aunt in Michigan. Please keep them in mind and pray for strength and faith during this hard time.
*A good friend of mine is also working on a blog. He has always seemed to have a desire to get close to God, but recently I've seen great things being accomplished in his life. Just keep him in mind and pray that God continues to dig deeper into his heart.
*A friend of mine is struggling with hearing God's voice in an important decision that his family is going to be making soon. Pray that he finds clarity and understanding of God's will.

I know this is a departure from my normal blogging structure, but I just wanted to touch base as I'm having a hard time concentrating due to all the stuff going on in my life at the moment. Hopefully I'll get back to writing weekly as things settle down.
