A fork in the Road

Sometimes in life we come to a point were we have to make decisions about how we are going to proceed with our lives. I will call it a fork in the road. Do we take the right path or do we take the left path. Over the past couple of years I have been examining my life and asking the question "What kind of man do I want to be?". The answer to the question is "I want to be the man God would have me be.". I not only want to be a good example to my kids, but I want to be a great example to my kids. Espscailly my son. I want him to have the example of what "real men" are about. I have made this my number one priority in my life and finding and eliminating anything that would stand between me and God is most important. For the last little while I have been away from blogging and the internet. I am asking my self the tough questions and praying for guideance along the way. Those questions would include, What else do I need to work on? What kinds of things can I watch on TV? Am I taking way from this effort though spending time with my computer via my blog, twitter, facebook, or just plain crusing the web? Does my many hobbies that I enjoy take away and preocuppy my mind in ways the might prevent me getting closer to God? So, I will continue to post to this blog from time to time, but it may be one or two posts a month. In the mean time I will continue to examine my life and make the changes I feel are necessary. I apreciate all those who read my blog and hope you continue to stop by. May God bless you!

i have been examing my internet use too. its easy to get caught up in the cruising of the net. you are doing a good thing ritchie. showing your son what a true man is. i'll share a secret with you. travel the untravel road and laugh. enjoy life. i traveled the weirdo road by going in the army. and my experiances with far outway any earnings i could have earned. and i will continue traveling the bumpy road to enjoy the outdoors and to enjoy life period. right now i walk to work. i try to eat right on my breaks. i try to show my daughter a good way to be a woman. i think for a couple of years i was going threw the motions but not fully in it with my heart. now that i am making excersise a bigger part of my life (slowly) it seems to make the whole family happy. my daughters tv broke the other day. instead of asking for another one. she wanted to go without. so we would have more time together. i consider that a big blessing. to have a daughter want to spend more time with her mother. who could ask for anything more? Notice i didnt nag you about posting this last time? i've stepped back from the computer a little too. :) take care.
