Ive come to find a lot of peace in my relationship with God over the years. I truely love him. The simple things in life have become even more of a pleasure. When things take a turn for the difficult or the confusion and noise of this insane world we've built becomes too much, I have a refuge. He gave me my life back and blessed it with a good job, a good home, and a lovely wife whom I adore. I dont have much but I am content and glad for what I have. I follow Solomons advice to give everything its time and place so I dont worry or fret. And Paul the apostle's advice was good too... "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
After that, I love the sea. Ive was born a seaman and always will be. Riding my cruiser with my wife on the back down a winding road thru the mountains or plains of Montana, a sunset after a long, hot day, sitting with my wife in bead watching a movie eating popcorn, watching her tend her garden or walking past me on some errand, listening to her voice on the phone when Im away, feeling her warmth on a cold winter night as she lies next to me. Fishing with a good friend, having a beer and watching a football game and yelling when the Chargers finally do something right. Hiking in the back country with my dog...living life...
