Lately almost everywhere you go, we are cramed with fear tacktics. I hate fear tactics! You know that the bible says fear not 365 times? That is one for each day of the year. You dont need to live in fear. Well I dont live in fear. I choose not to. I dont fear death. If it is my time to go and die then it is my time. I am not scared to die. The bible says that to be abosent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Today, I am asking you, my friends, to stop living in fear of death or being left out. Stop letting fear rule your life. The only thing that you should fear is the God who loves you and wants you to prosper and live well. He will protect you and give you a long life here on earth and in the afterlife.

Every year about this time everyone starts to think about love and What love is to them. Well Some people just don't have a clue what it means to love or be loved. A few years back my wife and I were having some issues and mostly about the love we have for each other or lack of it. It seems we always lose that definition of what love is. So I did what any good nerd would do ... I googled what Love is. I didn't find anything that was a true definition of the subject. The only thing that i did find was a scripture from the bible that I have found to be the best definition of what Love is. The verse is in 1 Corinthians 13, starting on verse 4. Love is patient or willing to wait, Love is Kind, Love does not envy or is jealous , Love does not boast or makes things bigger than what it is, Love is not proud but humble, Love does not dishonor others, love gives respect, Love is not self seeking, Love does not get angry easily, Love keeps no record of wrongs, love forgives and forgets, Love does not delight in evil or wrongdoing but rejoices with truth, Love protects, Love trusts, Love hopes and love always perseveres. Love never fails Now go back and replace the word love with your name and there you will find the true definitions on Love! Happy Valentine's Day

First, let me say Happy New Year!!! We have made it past 2020 and now into 2021. Thank God! This year as I set goals and aligning them to what I believe in and I have come to a conclusion that one thing has to go! I am talking about social media. Sorry, but I can no longer be apart of such things. People have become rude as they hide behind a computer screen or phone. Some social media sites are very biased as to what they allow me as a customer to see or not see. I should have a choice of what I see are don't see. Granted, in some things the AI behind social media engines on apps like Facebook do a very good job of filtering what content is delivered. Just my opinion by why listen to this software engineer. By the way, I do know how some of the AI stuff works. :) As far as some of the people, well I don't get how some so-called friends have to be rude to someone like me. I don't get it. Some of these friends don't know anything about me, They assume they know me, well they don't. They have never been to my house, They have never gone to church with me. Some don't even know that I have 2 kids and a grandkid. Some don't even know that I care about them so much even when they don't like me. I do try my best to be nice to everyone and even to people, I don't like. To quote that good old bible verse that talks about what love is ... "Love is Patient, Love is Kind" ... And well I think that says it all. But for now, I have decided to get away from social media and not look back. So far I have deleted my accounts from these apps FaceBook, Messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram and there is more to come. I Will let you know when and what those are. Anyway, I'm out of here! So Peace, Love, and Chicken grease!

About a year ago I subscribed to a few web sites that would send me some daily inspiration for life. One of the emails had this in it, A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under control. Proverbs 29:11 Kind of hit me hard this morning, sometimes I just want to yell at people for the stupidity, but I know that will not help them and just make others think ill will of me. Then another email I saw had a quote from Samuel Clemens aka Mark Twain which said that noise proves nothing. Often a hen who has merely laid an egg cackles as if she laid an asteroid. So let's not be chickens today and every day! bawk! bawk!

So just to let everyone know , I did finish the build and I have video and pictures but the event was canceled or I should say postponed. I dont know if the ship will ever see the light of day and it was taking up so much space in my office and house that i had to put it all in storage. I dont want to spoil the suprize of this massie cardboard ship so I dont want to post the pics here except one. The one of it being in the storage unit. Well lets hope this virus thing goes away soon ... I need my stoage unit back!

In my best pirate voice "Good morning ye scallywags, A tall tale I have for ye." Well not so much as good as it sounded in my head. Anyway my wife at the school she works each year they have this cultural fair where each grade picks a country and represents that country. They decorate their classroom and also put a short skit. Thi event is lots of fun for the kids and the teachers, the kids look forward to this event each year. So last year I built my wife a huge castle out of cardboard, It took up most of her classroom. Took me a little over a month to design, build and decorate it, I have to admit I had a lot of fun doing this by the way. So this year her topic is Great Explorers and we discussed that we want to build an explorer ship I wanted to build a pirate ship ye why I heard pirate voices in my head. She said no! So it is going to be a huge explorer ship with some hints of piracy. I started off with just a simple floor plan sketch of the ship this grew to all the details you see in the image gallery. Today we will measure the room and got the exact size of the build. Well, now it is time for the fun part, to build a cardboard explorer(pirate) ship. Yo Ho!
