Face it!

You are not for everyone....

The world is filled with people who, no matter what you do will point blank not like you. But it is also filled with those who will love you fiercely. They are your people. You are not for everyone and that's OK. Talk to the people who can hear you.

Don't waste your precious time and gifts trying to convince them of your value, they won't ever want what you're selling. Don't convince them to walk alongside you. You'll be wasting both your time and theirs and will inflict unnecessary wounds, which will take precious time to heal. You are not for them and they are not for you, politely wave them on, and continue along your way. Sharing your path with someone is a scared gift, don't cheapne this gift by rolling yours in the wrong direction.

KEEP FACING YOUR TRUE NORTH!!!!

In Memory- Ken W

To a man I met 30 years ago, you were a gentle man, caring, loving and loved the Lord.  Our families shared so many wonderful times together.  The afternoon swim and bbq's, going out for the "buffet" on Saturdays, DIRTbiking in Calico, so many many camping trips.  You with the old Ford truck and the camper on top, us in the van conversion- dirtbikes in tow, camping in Death Valley in spring and cruising on the dirt bikes, going to the sand dunes, seeing the racetrack, or the petrified forest, visiting Scotties Castle.  Or the time we did Yellowstone National Park (and your young daughter filling the top bed on the camper with all her stuffed animals, how you laughed!) and watching Old Faithful, walking the trails of the geyers, and then being amazed at the buffalo herd that would not move off the road! Or how about those moose!  So many places we had traveled to together as a family, so many campfires making smores, so many campfires stories and laughs!

Which I am so grateful for now, because those adventurous trips, or weekends away are now beautiful memories that I cherish.
You were there for all my babies, you and your wife (my Louise!) you both showered us with love and spent time with us, watched us grow as a family as well. You were there in the good times, there in the hard times.  We are friends.
I am thankful that our paths not only crossed but intertwined in such an amazing way, yes God knows what He is doing when He brings people into your life.  You have a new place now.. your heavenly home.. you will be missed, because you are loved.
