Romantic Vibe

What do you do when your romantic vibe has been slowed to a drip instead of the usual blast from the fire hydrant?  We got a little caught up in the rush of the world and just missed each other’s “I love you” motives.  I was wrong. She was wrong. We reacted to each other’s needs wrong.  The testosterone began to build.  I tamed it with the major male weapon.  I shut it down. Then I shut down.  Estrogen pushed her into her feelings. Then she pushed.  The vibe was stale and still and the air was thick.  The difference in now and then is that we recognized what we needed to do to let the vibe flow through. We have both grown up.  I am not too proud to let my feelings be revealed and she has refused to sulk in hers.  We talked about how we each could have done better for each other.  We had a “safe conversation” that allowed us to see the wall the devil had designed and was attempting to building between us.  If you can’t hear my words please listen for the rhythm of my heart.  Your love is the spark that regulates each beat.  I love you sweetheart. Glad the Tomb is Empty.

Love this season

Love this season.  Reminds me of how blessed I am. I thank you Lord for this life you have afforded me.  “Lord knows” there were times that I did not honor or recognize you as “Lord” of my life.  I borrowed your strength and discarded your guidance. You let me live my life with a “toothless” pit bull named mercy forever hoping that you kept its teeth in a jar as I strayed away from you.  You poured your love into me while I was still in sin.  When I rejected your love, I could hear the nails in the distant being rammed into your hands and feet.  Yet and still… I proceeded to stray spiritually farther and farther away from you.  God, you matched my speed and evasive maneuvers and stayed constant in my life.  I love this season because it reminds me to be thankful for what you have given me, a fantastic life and grace in the form of my wife Janet. “Lord knows” I do not deserve the woman that rode with me in good times and some awful times. I have two daughters that make me laugh, cry, and pray without ceasing.  My prayer is that they got the best of me and learned to avoid the stumbles I try to make known.  I am thankful that if for only a moment in time I am able to guide the heart and mind of an incredible granddaughter you have allowed to inhabit my life.  Lord God I am so thankful for this life and the blessing you have allowed to trickled down. For all of these things I am thankful.    Glad the tomb is empty.
