Craig’s Endeavor

OK! OK! I know I said I was going to do this. So, I’m making myself do this every day for a week. There is a lot on my mind. Guess I have been watching too much news huh! The World is changing. Now I am no conspiracy theorist so, we are not going to get out of bounds here. With Billions of dollars and over a thousand of pages of changes that affect us all, I can’t help but to think this will mark the beginning. The beginning of what?

I’m not going to pretend as if I know exactly is going to happen. My prayers have almost solely been for our Country. My belief is that true History is being made and, we will all be judged as to what we do with it.

Now today’s Rant… What is up with people hurting children? Now another child is missing and vast resources are being used to find her. Is it just me or is there a pattern forming? You see, lately it has been someone the child knows that has taken or hurt them. Not some stranger that we all fear or see in movies. So, a child disappearing in the middle of the night from a home! What is the deal? My heart goes out to the family and God help them if they are the guilty ones…. Only time will tell.

Now I promise to have a more organized entry from now on so, lets get this started…..

A little vedio I think we all should listen to very closely

I have recently pondered my age (33) and wondered what now. After much deliberation I have realized I have been living my life without a plan. NO PLAN!!!

You see, at a young age we are outside playing all the time (Well kids in the good ole days did). This gave us enough exercise to keep us healthy. We also went to school most every day, stretching our minds and socializing with vast amounts of people. I like most of you where dragged reluctantly to Church which gave us a moral foundation. Well, at least the opurtunity for one. Last but not least is family. We had no choice to be close to our parents and siblings, we lived under the same roof.

• Exercise
• Learning
• Socialization
• Faith
• Family

We all lose touch with all if not most of these things as we get older. I believe we should have these things in our life all our life.

Exercise – Just recently I have come into the best shape of my life. I have been spending hours a week at the gym and on my bike in the past year. I feel so much younger now.

Learning – Something I have to work on. We all find ourselves watching the TV for our Education. Discovery Channel, National Geographic Channel, and many many more have become our Professors. We need to get some hands on learning. Go back to school and take some classes. There is a vast amount of knowledge here on the Internet. Get out there and learn something new.

Socialization – Now that we are older we have more control over who we congregate with. When we where younger we had to go places we didn’t want to and talk to people we didn’t like. This kept us around different views and opinions. A kind of culturalization by fire. Get out of your comfort zone.

Faith – What can you say? As I got older, I realized it was more about a relationship (with Christ) than showing up at church every Sunday. Now I’m not saying don’t go to church! What I am saying is that it’s about your relationship with Christ and not socializing with the socialites.

Family – WOW! I just realized it has been two months since I have seen my Dad. I do have a family of my own now but, hey he is my Dad… As for my half sister, it has been about 6 months. Let’s not forget of the step brother. There comes a time in your life where you have to make a decision and, I we will get into that in more detail latter.

There is one more piece to this puzzle that I cannot leave out and that is Friendships. I am the most blessed man alive when it comes to friendships. If I have done anything right in my life, I have surrounded myself with great people whom I can call my friend.

So, this is my endeavor to balance all of these. Who knows there might be more to the puzzle but, I will learn that along the way. I invite you to share and even participate in my journey of LIFE….

Life is full of them!

The first time you: walked, rode a bike, talked, drove a car, the list goes on and on.

I’m forcing myself to do this (blog) in a hope to express myself. Call it art or therapy; either way I think it will be good for me. Please, criticism is embraced as well as deserved complements here. I promise to be more expressive and insightful tomorrow. See you then….
