God's Presence

If my path be smooth or rugged, If with thorns or roses strewn. Where I go the Father seetih, And He will leave me not alone.

If I take the wings of morning far within the giant sea, Even there His hand will lead me, Even there my God will be.

Though the gloom of night be round me, Though I cannot see my way, Yet the Lord will see and guide me, Because unto Him the night is day.

If my thoughts are good or evil, Set me think to hide them not. There is One above all seeing, and He beholdeth every thought.

And ever more my eyes beholds me, And all my ways to Him are known, And His loving arms enfolds me, He will leave me not alone.

Its a tough love...

As I continue to set one foot in front of the other on my own path I am inspired by the youth and others surrounding me. As a wrestling fan, coach, and ex-athlete I have witnessed some triumphant bouts over the past weekend. As I coached my Lil' Beavers on Friday and watched the high school boys on Saturday my spirits lifted with every match won and lost. The smiles and tears after each battle reminded me that everything tough in life takes heart and that is why it feels so damn good when you accomplish something tough. I will remain steadfast in my own personal challenges and dig deep when the tough makes me want to quit, but my heart will keep me going strong. Thank you to those peewee and adolescent wrestlers that keep an aging man youthful in the mind and heart.
