Welcome To My Life

  Hey Gang! Welcome to my life, where anything is possible and nothing is as it seems. I’m the Rev. Matt and I’ll be your host – coming at you from within the depths of Geistopia. It is Sunday, June 26, 2011. Time….’Strepped'.’ Yup! That’s what I said. I am fairly certain that Nyssa passed her Strep throat on to daddy. It has been a long, uncomfortable day. I tried to go and do some work this morning, but it was only a 25% success. I got through the first of four stores and even that was only barely. I came home and slept for a couple  hours, milled around for a few hours, soaked in a tub not merely long enough, slept for about two more hours and have been milling around for a a few hours. My body is achy and chilled. Truth is, it’s difficult to find the strength and focus to do even this. Yet, here I am. Commitment is commitment and boy have I been committed….errrr…ummm…I mean – I am committed. So lets see if I can cut to the chase and then hit the sack. I need this to be done

  June 18, 2011 – 2325 Hey Gang! Welcome to my life, where anything is possible and nothing is as it seems. I’m the Rev. Matt and I’ll be your host – coming at you from within the depths of Geistopia. It is Saturday, June 18, 2011 (barely.) Time…forgiving. What is goin’ on? Oh boy folks, hold on to your seats. The coaster’s leavin’ the platform (and it’s on a mission.) Please keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times. Wait until the ride comes to a complete stop before exiting. Don’t blink. Hold your breath. Forget what you know….and prepare to fly. Oh….and please enjoy your ride. I am in a place this evening, folks. I feel as though I could write for three hours and still not dent in the wanton thoughts trampling on my mind. (long pause for station identification….. resumed at   0040) Allow me to point out that it is now SSSSSSSSUUUUUUNNNNNNNday, June 19, 2011. Father’s Day! (Thank you very much.) Time….connected…. Now where was I? Oh yeah. Preparing to ramble

  The adventure continues. Twenty minutes later and I am still trying to get to bed. And…I let you in on a lil secret about me and my girls.

 

  June 16, 2011 - Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal which which comes upon you to prove you, as though something strange were happening to you.                                                                                         - I Peter 4;12 Hey Gang! Welcome to my life – where anything is possible and nothing is as it seems. I’m the Rev. Matt, and I’ll be your host, coming at you from within the depths of Geistopia. Holy son of a mother frickin’ shizzle dang fudge!!! Before I go too far in the post I must give an absolute “Shout-Out” to Joyce Meyer. It is from her sermon tonight that I received the above quote (or lesson, if you so choose.) And, the whole experience is, once more, proof positive that Divinity will guide us to the proper answers at the proper time – if we so allow it. Now, I could never convey the depth and breadth of the service and do it any justice. Suffice it to say that it was the perfect message at the perfect moment. It was truly what

  June 16, 2011 Hey Gang! Welcome to my life, where anything is possible and nothing is as it seems. I’m the Rev. Matt and I’ll be your host – coming at you from within the depths of Geistopia. It is Thursday, June 16, 2011. Time…..surreal. I’ve been having quite a few days. (I left out the adjective because I can not find one suitable.) The days have not been bad, nor good. They have not been too casual, nor too busy. They have just been. Several times I had wanted to sit down and write and just couldn’t seem to manage it. Suddenly, this morning, I find myself with a gap in the schedule (One I wish I would have known about in advance) so here I am….writing. There are all sorts of thoughts and things on my mind today and I think that may have been the block in writing. Where to begin? What to talk about? Many of the things on my mind are so unrelated it seems nonsensical to group them all together in one writing, yet, they need to come out and multiple writings may be cumberso

  June 14, 2011 Hey Gang! Welcome to my life, where anything is possible and nothing is as it seems. I’m the Rev Matt and I’ll be your host. Coming at you from within the depths of Geistopia. It has been a very interesting run of days. Whatever the bump in my road was it would seem that I have gotten over it. Slowly, once again, I see things starting to gel. This includes my attitude. I know that may sound odd to some of you. It’s not that I have had a poor attitude of late. It is more that my attitude has not been as prime as it usually is. Again, I see that shifting. Here’s an interesting observation: The more there is on your mind, the more you must let go of. It’s true. If you’re worrying about this, or calculating that – analyzing, debating, struggling, re-analyzing, fearing, worrying, over-analyzing – then you are most likely missing all of the answers and blessings. It really is easy. Life, I mean. For me the contentedness is coming through acceptance. (Which I think may

  June 12, 2011 Hey Gang! Welcome to my life, where anything is possible and nothing is as it seems. I’m the Rev. Matt and I’ll be your host, Once again, things are changing and shifting here in Geistopia.  Sometimes it is a wonder that I can keep up. I have more work opportunities rolling in which is always a good thing.  In a few days the girls and I have our first of two vacations this summer. We’re treating it as an adventure. Or, as I put it to them, we’re going to give the week to God and see what happens. The original plan was for me to not work and for us to go away. That didn’t work out so well. I do have some work lined up that not only do I need to take care of but also that will help pay for our time together and the things we do get to do.  Some of the work I can take them along for and other things I will have to make some arrangements. But…it’s all good. Just One Moment is the latest installment of WTML. It is also the first in a series of ten minute (or less) vide

  June 6, 2011 Hey gang! What is goin on? It’s been a very interesting day. Nothing at all what I had expected. But I am very pleased with it. I have been consistently getting up between 4:30 and 6:00 AM every morning. This may not sound very impressive to some, or even most, of you folks, but let’s be honest – if you didn’t have to get up at that time…would you? I don’t have to get up that early on any day. But I have been feeling the need to really attack the day. Today I was up and I just kind of chilled for a lil bit. Then around 7:30 I went out and weeded and turned the front flowerbeds as well as one on the side of the house. Then I went and did some visiting. A visit that was long overdue and may lead to a lil income for me every week or so. I also managed to start getting caught up on my bookkeeping. I am about 3 months behind, which for me is not too bad. However, if I wish to expand, I can not let things get his far behind again. If I focus, perhaps I can get all of that

  June 5, 2011 This was a statistic I once read. it has never left me. In fact, if anything it has haunted me. For years the thoughts would turn in my brain. I mean, if they are ‘C’ students and we continue to let them run the country unopposed, what will become of the country. Well, I think today, that is fairly obvious. The truth is, I don’t think I really believed that statistic…until recently. I think they have proven it. Let’s start with the state of affairs in the nation these days: It seems every week we rushing our troops and our support to other countries (because of their poor living conditions) and yet on our own streets we have families living homeless and going hungry. For 2 years I have watched prices in the stores slowly rise. Everything is going up, and mostly due to the fuel prices (they call it transportation expense.) Everything has gone up – coffee, eggs, milk, everything. Yet, each year my father receives a letter from Social Security stating that “since ther
