My birthday to celebrate!


This year I'll be turning 37.  Wow! I'm glad that I'm getting older!

I was thinking of all the good that I've done to my friends and family.  As my life as it is:
  • Happily Married.
  • Working at a part time job.
  • No children yet.
  • Have great and wonderful friends!
  • A wonderful family!
  • A car to drive.
  • Being a great influence on my friends and family!
  • A few nicknames (the Bomb, Kdawg, Yoda)
  • Being an eternal, blood brother to my friends and family!
I've want to say thanks for being a great brother or sister to me.  That's what life is about.  Caring for each other and loving each other!  Help my brothers and sisters to come closer to Christ. We never know how long our life is here on Earth.  We just know that our life is short and to make the best of it.  I know that I'm not perfect and will never be 100% perfect, for that is a progression of a life time to achieve.  I look forward to what my next year of being 37 will be like.

10 Year Anniversary of 9/11.

Today marks the 10 year anniversary of what happened on 9/11.  I can't believe that its been 10 years from that horrible incident.  Yesterday, Jennie and I went to visit the Memorial Park over in Sandy, UT.  They have the statue of three firefighters holding up the American flag.  Across the street they have over 3000 American flags representing the victims from the WTCs, Pentagon, and the Philadelphia.  Its just amazing and shocking of seeing how many flags represent all those people. 

As I was reading some of the descriptions of some of the victims that had died I felt that I got to know them more as a person who lived just like I am.  That these were real people who had no choice and died.  To walk there felt like a cemetery. 

As a nation shortly after the 9/11 attack we became united as a whole and cared for each other as brothers and sisters and not separated of race, color, sex, age, political status, etc.  and patriotism was everywhere and you could feel it.  Now that its 10 years later, some have forgotten of what happened on 9/11, we have got back to drawing lines of race, color, sex, age, political status, etc., there is some patriotism just not as much as it was then.  There is not as much American flags on display from peoples houses and business.  Yes, we are no longer the same since 9/11, but our attitude has changed back before 9/11.  Sad to say, in the next 5-10 years more people will forget what happened on 9/11/01.
