Please Pray for my family, I just talked to my family and found out that my Uncle Joe killed himself last week. We will be having a memorial service but it wont be until the day after thanksgiving. This is one in a long line of deaths that I have had to deal with since being in Marquette. I just ask for your prayers for all of us right now.

More than you bargain for
Have you ever gotten to that place where you just have to stop and feel for the first time in a long time. Maybe for the first time ever. Well you know it is amazing that God always seems to bring you to that place when you are finally alone. When the distractions are just gone and the only person you have to deal with is Him. Not your family, and friends, not work or even worship.
Well I over the last 29 years have made not having to feel and deal an art form. I had perfected all the cliche answer's which meant that I did not have to deal with all the other stuff that was there. The hurt, the feelings of abandonment, the why question's that every one has to ask in order to move on from were you are at this moment in time.
God brings you to a place were no one is watching so that you have to finally look at your self and say I am done, I am done running away and I wont to deal with what is there. There are things in my past that I am not proud of and some things that I am. There are things going on in my family right now that I never thought I would ever have to deal with. People not talking to each other because they have been hurt and betrayed.
What I have to say about that is that we are all not perfect i more than any one knows that. There are things in our lives that totally suck and that no one on this planet could get us to talk about them. But lets deal with it. Lets get it out in the open with in our families and deal with all the feelings that are there that are keeping you apart from each other.
Because as Christians by not dealing and pushing through the hurt and confronting people you are not helping any one including your self. Lets just hash it put so that we can all move on with our lives. Lets do what are asked to do by our Lord and Savior, confront and deal and if we have to walk away and shack that dust off our feet. But let us decide.
