ANother night of rambling!

I am worried about getting back to Fresno only because I do not want to go through everything I went through when I moved back the first time around. If I could I would go back to school for a few weeks to try and fine tune some of my skills....I got to do a couple of haircuts at the Hillyard Hootenany and that was cool.

This has been a long week.... seems to be taking forever to get through. I have picked up a few short shifts so I have some extra hours on my paycheck. I was originally going to watch a stupid reunion show at the Knitting Factory but I am working til close now..... maybe thats a good thing. Some bands need to just stay broken up.

The 15th is the Galaxy v. Sounders.......Sounders need this win in a bad way!! The last few weeks have not gone well for us and I am not even counting the exhibition matches between Chelsea and against Barcelona FC. We lost not only against Real Salt Lake but against the San Jose Quakes who seriously suck!!

Saturday Chelsea plays Hull City which rules since we are coming off of a win against Manchester United....I am looking forward to an exciting EPL season and am sad as MLS season starts to draw to and end

Well I think I am going to go to bed....done rambling for the night. Thanks marshall for use of the laptop

hey check it out another blog...

So it is 12:47 am and I am sitting here on Marshalls laptop checking out Craigslist to see what is going and notice that Floyd's is hiring again. This time is it in Venice Beach which would be rad. I just need a copy of my resume to send so I can try and get a job....soon.

So my time here is Spokane is quickly coming to an end....working hard keeping bills paid and reading my Bible a lot to. Marshall and Alicia have been so rad I will miss them greatly. Truth is we have not hung out that much since I have been here between me working, Marshall working and Alicia working. Truth is I have not hung out with many people at all which kind of bums me out. That is just the way it goes.

So it is looking like I will be leaving town on the 5th of September so I can get home in time for out anniversary. I am ready to get home and be with the kids and Beth...be a good dad and husband...which I have always been those things.

I do not know what is going to happen next just kind of stepping out in Faith for everything else! I am learning about stewardship, giving and just trusting God when its tough because that is really when it matter...When things are going the easiest thats when you do not care about anything it is when it is tought. It should not be like that it just is.

Realisiticly if you say you are a Christian you need to live your life and have that same faith in the good and the bad....He is the same God no matter what is going on in our lives.

still alive

I am in the home stretch and will be going home soon. Its been a tough time being away from the family and the good thing is I have been able to help keep some of the bills paid. 

I am looking forward to saturday because I am going to set up a booth at the Hillyard Hootenany here in Spokane,Wa. I got some Lucky 13 products and hope to do a few haircuts. Hope to see some cool people and just have a good time.

Post more later...thanks to all who have been praying for me while I have been gone

Cheer

Another post...again been a while

Lets see where to start....I really miss my wife and kids and that is the most important thing. I have been working really hard trying to make some headway and the truth is it does not seem I am making progress. I will just keep working hard and then go home to my family.

Marshall and Alicia came home from going to Seattle for the 10 for 10 show. They not only came home with a sweet Death Before Dishonor shirt (thanks Frankie) but the program from the Chelsea v. Sounders match a few weeks ago. I wanted to go but thats life. New season starts soon and look forward to seeing Chelsea rock the next 09/10 season!!

This past weekend was fun.... Saturday was Murphy's wedding and Friday I went out to just get a meal and ended up hanging out with Josh Scott, Jeff Allison, Gina, Anthony and Laurie Scott. Punk rock, a few beer and good friends always makes for an awesome evening!!! Murphy's wedding and reception ended up being a really good time...I am glad me and Murphy are friends.

Just finished 1 and 2 Peter, 1,2 and 3 john last night.

June 30th 2009...playa

Well here I am in almost week four of my trip to Spokane, Washington. Everyone has been great to me...Alicia and Marshall have opened there home to me and its been great been here with em' and Brent has kept me out of trouble by keeping me busy.

I finally finished Crazy Love by Francis Chan. I am telling ya if you have not read it you really should...it will wreck the way you view God and who you are and should be as a Christian. Ia m not into book two Vintage Jesus by Mark Driscoll (pastor at mars Hill in Seattle). Not much to say because I just got into the book but look forward to digging into it.

Apart from missing Beth and kids I am missing being in church and fellowship with other Christians..... Sometimes that fellowship is important. There is a sense of accountability that you have that you do not have with other people.

As I am sitting around Spokane working I see these opportunities that a few people want to give me and it is easy to jump up and down excited but the realistic thing is having to wait...try and trust God cause it does not mean it is the right thing to do and when it comes to the way I live my life I am trying to hard to not roll back to where I was when I used to live here which is just drinking and had no real focus.

Well time to get ready for work.....hopefully I can post again soon.

Keep me in your prayers and thoughts....be home soonJune

Whats more important....

So I go to thinking about this earlier today and its....is it more important to live for your beleifs or to die for them.

Kind of a wierd thought I know but really.....Sometimes I really think it is tougher to live for your beliefs then anything else. Stay true to your convictions through thick or thin.

Just a thought

As I sit here trying to figure out how to send responses via Twitter (www.twitter.com/frankiedsc) I have one thing on my mind.....Why is it so easy when things go tits up to blame God.

You loose your job "God why?", friend gets sick "God why you let my friend get sick?"...etc.

What I beleive is this....we live in a world of sin. Because of that sin things are a mess. I do not believe God has purposefully put us in a place of calamity. I take what the prophet Jeremiah says -

"11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jer. 29:11

I guess its easy to blame what you can not see and some times it is a bit tougher to have faith when the sea is tossing you around but I beleive God calls us to remain faithful in the good and bad and if you can survive the bad you will only come out on top not just spiritually but just period.

We have to strive to trust God no matter what.
