If the smallest increment of measure was off in speed, gravity, atmosphere that life wouldn’t exist any more on earth . Everything in the universe would turn into chaos and destruction. But because everything is so precise and continues to stay that way it proves that there is a creator that set everything in motion and continues to keep an eye on the creation so it can continue to produce life. I know human beings go through some very rough things and we are not promised that life would be easy but we go through those things to come out stronger on the other side. And I know sometimes these situations are extreme and it causes people to stay locked in what happened and they never move past it and lose faith even though they forget that they are still alive, still have people that care about them, still have a house over their head, food on the table etc. Im not some perfect being or person and Ive had my faith rocked a few times. When my aunt, my mother and the pastor whom married the wife and I ‘s wife were all battling breast cancer, it scared me . My mother and aunt beat cancer and yet the pastor’s wife didn’t … God needed her more When God put me in the life of a cousin for a couple months to help being apart of bringing her back to God and then she all this sudden had massive blood clots that went to her head and caused her to pass away. It took me being at her showing and being absolutely pissed at the catholic priest and then Holy Spirit automatically sends me a pic of her in heaven happy and younger and I was able to instantly calm down cause I knew she was in a better place. Me being able to watch my wife go through extreme back surgery 16 years ago and then have to fight off ketoacidosis and to now see her getting healthy and has lost over 100 lbs and she got new top teeth for this Christmas. And she’s making new friends at church whom believe in her and pray for her and text her.

Myself and my mother , had my aunt on the phone going over a lot of family history today . So pictured below is my great uncle Herb McCort U.S. Army WW1 and some of his commrads He also dressed well after coming home from war. (Malaga Ohio)

Good morning Gentlemen and Ladies, We all made it to a new year, a new year that is filled with uncertainties, blessings, and yes even some unexpected surprises. No one is immune to unforeseen circumstances. But how we handle these things is what makes the difference. Yesterday I posted that me and my family started off the New Years feeding the homeless and the less fortunate. I posted this not for accolade, or praises, I post this to remind us all that at any given time we could be in the same situation and if this happened I would hope you would expect someone to do the same and show compassion as we did. One of the greatest attributes of a gentleman or a lady, is to show love and compassion for your fellow man. Now, having said that anyone can make a donation and give money. And there is nothing wrong with this. But when you take the time and physically participate in making a difference in the life of another person, there is no other feeling like it. Because not only are you making a difference in that person lives monetarily but you are taking a physical and personal action with that person. Yesterday I was reminded of when me and my grandson were in the car and there was a man at the corner holding a sign and my grandson look at him as we sat at he light and I happen to notice him starring at the man, and I said to my grandson “ it’s not polite to stare”. My grandson said I didn’t mean to stare, I was just wandering is anyone going to help him?” That struck me deep inside and I immediately pulled over and I got out and invited the man to have breakfast with us. The man was thrown back at first, but he was hungry and he accepted the offer. We went to the to the IHOP down the street and the three of us sat and ate and we learned that he was a US Army veteran the same as I. I also found out that he served in the same conflict as I did and just fell on hard times, and rather than resort to on life of crime or to hide his sorrows in drugs and alcohol he stood out there hoping someone would help him.
