Christmas Time!!

Hey Folks and welcome back.

It has been a while since I have had time to write. Partially due to being busy and partially due to really not having much to say. We are ready for Christmas and things are going smooth. However, my mind can't help but wander back to past Christmas times. I really can't say much other than I miss them.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and a very blessed new year.

My thought

This is the day to use the lessons from yesterday to guide you today.

Love....God's way.

Hey Folks,

Hope you are having a great day. I admit I have been fooled before regarding love. Love is our deepest emotion and the hardest one to truly identify. I spent several years looking for true love. The love that God wanted me to have and enjoy. The devil tried to throw in some counterfeits and I fell for those. I was not looking with the eyes of the spirit. Love is a very precious and valuable thing when it comes from the Lord. I have had many obstacles and hardships while looking for love. However, God has blessed me with a deep and honorable love that I have never had. Like I said, I thought I had true love in my last relationship. God threw up the red flags on every hand but I just plowed right on through with MY will and not His. True love is unconditional. Regardless of circumstance. That is what I enjoy now each day.

How do you find true love? You don't have to hunt. It finds you.

Take care, Tony

Distance from the past makes life great!

Hey Folks,

I have not had much time to write lately. There has been so many great things going on! However, many of my friends have asked what has been going on in my life and what happened to the seemingly wonderful marriage that I shared with my ex-wife. I don't talk about those things much but I can tell you that particular marriage was the worst and biggest mistake of my life. It is hard to explain the dynamics but we were just not compatible. She liked to do things I didn't do. Those of you that know me know how I am. I tried to change myself to accommodate a new and what seemed like an exciting life style. However, my ex-wife was sometimes self absorbed and she had no room in her heart for forgiveness, my family or my children. I have never been so hurt and degraded in my life as I was by her. She blamed me for the failure of our marriage and continues to do so. She misrepresented the truth about our relationship and marriage to her family and our friends to make herself look like the victim. However, I left everything I had for her. My family, friends, a powerful ministry and even my values and some morals. I allowed her to destroy my life through deception and hurt. It didn't take long to realize I had married a lady with the maturity of a child. The devil sure laid out the temptation of a better more fulfilling life and I fell for his lies hook, line and sinker.

However, today is a new day and God has blessed me tremendously. The more time and distance I put between me and the past the stronger I get. I look back on the last three years of my life and wonder who in the world this guy was and what was I doing?! I made many wrong decisions while in the snare of the devil but I am now a free man. Our past is not to be relived daily in our mind but it is a guide for us not to make the same mistakes in the future. Believe me, I learned a lot about life and the things to stay away from during my last marriage.

For those of you that need to know, that's all I have to say about that! I am moving forward and I have the old spring in my step that I had years ago. God is faithful!

Remember, the past is where it belongs. We serve a God of the present and the future! He holds the key to all your goals, dreams and steps. Trust in Him always.

Take Care and Merry Christmas!

Tony
