Commitment
This is mostly aimed at the guys, so here goes. I look at posts by these beautiful young ladies on Xanga and I also see them in my everyday life just looking for a man that will be committed. Why is it so hard for guys to be committed? I see these girls here on Xanga for instance looking for a guy that wants a woman that will love them. What guy doesn't want that, and there are plenty of ladies out there that are ready and willing to love. But what is wrong with the guys? Why does committment scare them so much? Do you guys actually think all those expensive toys you want will satisfy? I see guys that want too badly to have the nice sporty car, a boat even, a nice house. There is nothing wrong with wanting these things, but sacrificing love that loves you back in return is foolish. I'm not saying go get married if you don't have the means to support yourself and a bride, but I AM saying that if you can load up on all the newest technology, weither it be cell phones, computers, video games, cars, any of this stuff, and still have an excuse that you are waiting til you can afford to be married, then thats a crock. Guys, wake up and see these beauties in front of you for the jewels they are and grab them before it's too late. And they are not there to be taken advantage of either, they are to be respected and loved.
Guys, haven't you met a girl that makes you want to improve yourself, become a better man? Don't waste your time with all the meaningless things of this world to waste your time and money on. There is no greater value on this earth than the value of a good woman, so WHY are you passing them up. They are everywhere. And when you do fine that one, make HER your life, not your friends, your stuff or even your family. That is your parents family, you start YOUR own family. Yes, it is a tough road at times, but WELL worth all the bumps.
Ladies, sex is not how you attract a keeper. Find a guy that just wants sex before marriage and you have yourself a selfish man who will NOT be looking after your interests. A good man that will make a good husband will not demand sex before marriage.
Guys, you who are already married and maybe wish you weren't or you are putting stuff and your friends as more important than your wife, you need to rethink things. You may say, "well, you just don't know what I have to put up with" Well, let me tell you, I will guarantee you that she can say the same thing about you. Look at things from her point of view and see how you would like to be treated the way you treat her! If you are honest, I would imagine most of you guys would duck your heads, I know I do when I really think about how I treat my wife at times.
Not really sure why I am writing this other than just seeing the multitude of ladies wanting a partner for life and so few men willing to commit to that mostly because they want stuff, when that stuff can NEVER trully satisfy. Why do you think God made woman? So you can satisfy each other as you serve Him. Not so she can be YOUR servant but so you can love each other and have a companion that is real. You help her in her weaknesses and she helps you in your weaknesses. Trust me guys, you have PLENTY of weaknesses only a good wife can help you with. Anyway, I guess I'll stop rambling now. Don't know if any of this helps or hurts. All I know is, don't run from marriage, embrase it guys. Love her with all your heart and you will not be disapointed. Take care and have a great week!

Fireworks Stories
First off, I want to wish everyone a Happy Independence Day. Don't get yourself blown up. That brings me to my topic. Many will post today about what the 4th of July means to our country. I want to talk about the fireworks today! Typical guy thing aye?
I'd like to share a few fireworks stories with you. Some show my stupidity as a kid 
First I'll share what I used to think was coolest. We would get bottle rockets and go to a lake. We would light the bottle rocket holding it and right as the fuse was about to make it to the firework, we would aim it down at the lake. It would dive deep into the water and explode. It was especially cool at night when you could see the flash light up the water. One of the times I guess a fish got in the way and was stunned because it came floating to the top. It later swam away. This bring me to another time when some of us were fishing and we had some firecrackers with us. After fishing a bit we got bored cuz we were only catching these little bream. I decided to take one of the little bream I caught and stick a firecracker in it's mouth and light it. BOOM! Yes it blew the poor fishes head off. Give a bag of firecrackers to a kid and the sky is the limit to what he will find to blow up
Speaking of blowing things up, we used to get dud firecrackers and get the gun powder out of them and make homemade M-80's. Don't know if they still sell these, but they were banded. They were MUCH stronger than firecrackers. We would take about 3 inches of a pants coat hanger and get a candle to melt wax on one end. Then fill it up with the gun powder we got from the firecrackers.Then stuff a little kleenex at the end as not to ignite the gun powder when we melted the hot wax to close up the other end. We then wrapped it with tape to make it tight and got an ice pick to poke a whole in the middle for the fuse. MAN did those things blow stuff up....what was I thinking. Once I put a bunch of coke cans all over the bomb and lit it to see how high and far the cans would be thrown. As I ran from lighting the fuse and was about 30 feet away, it exploded and I felt something hit my leg. It was the melted wax and it had acted like a bullet and smacked my leg. Man did that hurt. It let a mark for weeks on my thigh. I can't imagine it a kid had been there and was hit in the face or something. I think I stopped making them after that.
Once I was at a friends house shooting fireworks off his dad had gotten him. It was for New Years so the grass was dead and dry. We had this buzzbomb thing. It looked like a starter for a car but had propellers sticking out the side. You were to sit it down on a flat surface and light it and run the directions said. ROFL....I can see why. That thing took off with sparks and fire going everywhere. Scared us to death and it landed right in the middle of a neighbors yard. Yep you guessed it. The yard went up in flames. We rushed over to put the fire out but by the time we were done, it had burned a 5 foot circle in their lawn. They weren't home and we weren't telling a soul!
There was another one of those in the bag. We didn't shoot it off. Don't know what Richard ever did with it LOL.
Some crazy neighborhood kids used to have roman candle fights. I stayed away from that. I didn't want balls of fire coming at me. I didn't like roman candles cuz my first experience with one was not too good. I was told to hold it and after it was lit aim it at the sky. Well thats what I did. Only I aimed the wrong end up. It started shooting sparks and balls of fire at my feet. I dropped it and ran and with that everyone scattered cuz it was shooting balls of fire everywhere. MAN, I didn't think it would EVERY stop. I stay away from fireworks now and let other folks mess with them.
Now I KNOW you all have some good fireworks stories. What are some of your most memorable ones? Care to share them with me? Hope you all have a happy and safe 4th of July. God bless you all!

Heaven or Hell
EDIT: Sorry for the timestamp, but this is just something that needs to be heard and understood about sin.
I have heard it said by many folks on Xanga that if God would send ANYONE to a place like hell then they don't want any part of worshiping a God like that. Thing is, they don't understand sin, let alone the Holiness of God. Sin is the ugliest thing there is and God's Holiness is the most beautiful and radiant.Two totally opposites. So many don't realize just how awful sin is. Sin disguises itself here in the flesh. Sin looks fun and exciting. Hell is a place for sin so it has even been looked at by those who love to do sinful things as being the place to be where all the action will be. That's what I mean by sin disguising itself here when we see it. Here sin is enticing and appeals to our senses. Hell was made for sin,the devil and his demons and all sin and those who have lived for it are going there. See, once in hell, the disguise is removed that the devil uses and you see sin for what it really is, in it's full awfulness and ugliness. Unless God opens your eyes to it here, and shows it to you through His eyes, you can't see the filthiness of it. The mask sin uses on us does not hide itself from God.
People wonder why there has to be suffering and why God allows it. Read Romans 8:18 where it says, "For I consider that the suffering of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us." Sin hides God's glory and causes that suffering.God does not cause the suffering, SIN does. Look at the suffering all around you, THAT is sin uncovered and what you will see in hell if you turn from God.
I didn't mean to make this into some scary post about hell, but this HAS to be told about sin and it's awfulness. Those who see nothing wrong with sin....or what they just call living, are fooled by it's disguise. Those who call believing in God blind faith and live for what they can see are the ones who are blind. Because they can't see through the disguise sin is using. You don't want to believe God, so He turns you over to what you THINK you love and then when the day comes and you go where sin is sent, you see it for what it really is, the full suffering of sin REALLY start then.
Again, I would much rather have focused on the glory to be revealed to us in Heaven for those who love God and trust His Son for their salvation, but these things about sin and it's deception needed to be shown. I can imagine if this gets recommended enough and the atheist groups find it, they will have a field day with it, but then that's because they only see the disguise sin has masked itself with. If you read further after Romans 8:18 you will see where even all of creation was effected by the sin of man and even it yearns to be freed from sins hold. I didn't mean to bring anyone down with this post, but then if you are secure in your trust in Christ, you know the glory awaiting you and are not bother by this post at all.
Those who DON'T know God are the ones who will be offended. Take care my friends! I love you, but God loves you SOOOO much more than I could even comprehend. He came to take your punishment for you, all you have to do is believe it! In Christ alone!~Grampy~

Partytime
EDIT: Ok, moving the party to my parents house so we can have a lake too. Swing on over to the big lake and grab a jetski and get on a pontoon boat, or just hang around the smaller pond and fish...thats where I'll be! Go figure
The party is here! Steaks and ribs are grilling. Fresh corn on the cob is cooking too. Potatoes are even baking in the smoker for that nice smoked flavor. The homemade Ice Cream maker is churning....do you hear it? The watermelon is ice cold. I even made plenty of fudge to snack on. The neighbors said we can use their pool so we took the fence down to make one giant backyard. Come on over an join the fun. It's hot outside and that pool water is nice and cold. Grab a rib and some fresh peachtea and come join the fun. Bring some of your favorite stuff on over. Don't forget the swimsuit. Man, that is one sweet and tasty watermelon. So what are you waiting on, come on over!
