first blog post

I'm excited to share my thoughts with anyone who wants to read them.
The above photo was taken in St. Maarten, Dutch Virgin Islands in June of this year.  The islands have had it tough recovering from the hurricanes that ripped through them in recent years.  This was one of the ships that we saw just left in the water.  Their owners either had no insurance or no other way to repair them.  There were many of these types of boats and even an airplane wreckage left sitting.
I am reminded that I praise God that He does not leave us stranded, when we have wrecked or been wrecked by the storms of life.  I began my journey with Christ Jesus at a young age. I was only eight years old when I realized my need for a Savior and the only one who could save me was Jesus. 
Over the last almost 40 years I have not been perfected, and I'm sure there have been times that God was disappointed in my progress or regress.  I can only do my best to serve Him and look for the opportunities that He gives me to glorify Him.
How will you spend the rest of your life? Will you spend it as a wrecked ship or let the LORD of Glory pick you up and show you a path?
