Live Your Name

To my kids: I know all your mothers gave you great names. You kids should remember that your mothers were inspired in giving you those names and live your names to the fullest, and maybe even adopt other ones. If I were there when you were growing up I would have at least tried to give you kids a middle name. So if you want a middle name from your Dad, here's one and here you go.  You can choose one or all of these names. I'm sure at one time or another throughout your lives you kids will feel to live all them. They are all powerful names and some of them come from great acquaintances I have run across in life.   I just had to give you Western style names so you could match your Dad's cowboy-type name (ha, ha, ha). But I also happened to like the ring of them too. Anyways, if my kids simply lived the nine names here I think they would be well on their way to fulfilling their full potential and helping our family become a rock solid family in society.  The girls names...

About Me (Part 1)

For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife, and they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. --  Mark 10:6-9 One should always be in love. That is the reason one should never marry. -- Oscar Wilde If you want to go fast go alone. If you want to go far go together. -- Wise African Proverb As I said once before in my writings on here, these blogs may be the only untampered with written records I leave to my children. I want to try and explain on here to posterity important things like the quotes above (i.e. that there are few decisions more important than who you choose to be with). I want to explain more about myself and why I wasn't able to be there for them in person when they were growing up. I want to leave my kids with some of the best advice I have gleaned from my 44 years of life. I'm going to try and warn them of things on here and also r...
