43 Years old Born in Wilson, North Carolina. Work in Law Enforcement / Patrol, married I am a Political Conservative without a party to represent my vote. I dislike liars, especially the type who are politicians and preachers. I oppose abortion of any type at any stage. The baby is innocent and deserves life regardless of the mothers circumstances. I also dislike racists. Especially the kind that always scream racism at others when life doesn't go there way! Get a life, it's only skin color and God made idiots in all colors. I also dislike Democrats, they wouldn't know the truth if it bit them on the ass. I dislike Republicans, they are truly the most spineless creatures on God's green earth. I dislike arrogant environmentalist who think we can destroy what God created. If your homosexual, I don't dislike you, but please keep it in your own bedroom behind closed doors for the sake of the untwisted.

I’ll Hang On To Hope




This past week has been trying and exhausting. It has been most uninspiring and seemingly stuck in a rut. Like a man waiting for his ship to finally come in but realizing that he is a lone Captain of that ship sailing in rough sea’s without a rudder and having no navigation for the dark clouds. All news is bad and the light on the horizon always seems to be false hope. I am ever confident that the storms will pass only to hear more thunder and be pelted by the rain. Things could always be worse because I am still afloat. For that I am Grateful anyway. I sail on. I feel at the very least fate will place me on dry land once again. Is it fate or faith? Sometimes you have to wonder. But for now I’ll hang on to hope again. It could be that I could find a way to repair the rudder and the clouds will clear enough to steer myself in the right direction and land somewhere peaceful and calm.

    I can't see or hear what song you have playing, but I thought I would share one with you and why settle for one when you can have two!
    The first one is Praise You In This Storm by Casting Crowns~
    "I was sure by now
    God you would have reached down
    And wiped our tears away
    Stepped in and saved the day
    But once again, I say "AMEN", and it's still raininig
    As the thunder rolls
    I bearly hear you whisper through the rain
    "I'm with you"
    And as your mercy falls
    I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
    and takes away
    I'll praise you in this storm
    And I will lift my hands
    For you are who you are
    No matter where I am
    Every tear I've cried
    You hold in your hand
    You never left my side
    And though my heart is torn
    I will praise you in this Storm"

    The second is The River by Garth Brooks
    "So don't you sit upon the shoreline
    And say your satisfied
    Choose to chance the rapids
    And dare to dance that TIDE
    And I will sail my vessel
    'Til the river runs dry
    Like a bird upon the wind
    These waters are my sky
    I'll never reach my destination
    If I never try
    So I will sail my vessel
    'Til the river runs dry
    There's bound to be rough waters
    And I'll know I'll take some falls
    With the good Lord as my captain
    I can make it through them all...

    Hope you can keep a song in your heart. You are right... Where there is Hope, there is a way!

  3. John, I'm sorry. Every moment lately has been an inopportune time. Call me in the morning. Just a whole lot going on. Sorry.

  4. Anonymous,
    Whoever you are. I can see by the amount you wrote in your comment that you tried to encourage me. You did! The song was Yellow by Cold Play. I am not familiar with the songs you suggested but music seems to help sometimes. I will search them on youtube. Thank you very much. It's nice to think a friend may be out there somewhere. :)
