greetings from Rick...

Hey yall.
Well its been awhile and im sorry for being so lax in my journal writing. Having kids in your life makes things a little more hectic than usual. Thank The Lord that both are now potty trained and the oldest just started school…its hard to let go. Being a father is a wonderful treat. The whole experience takes you on a rollercoaster ride…times of pure joy, exhilaration then difficult times and sadness. These days I feel my heart more and I love it. My heart or you could say the ‘essence of Rick’ is alive and kicking; breathing in the fullness of what a life redeemed can bring. I’m talkin’ ‘bout having wings like an eagle! Peace and joy that cant be explained by any kind of mental reasoning. You see, there was a time when my heart was not engaged, when emptiness filled me and darkness crowded my mind with thoughts of depression and death. Complete surrender in brokenness to Jesus changed all that and He then gave me a new heart. I must say it was an awesome miracle! And we pray that this miracle has happened to you cause life any other way is pointless and empty. Blessings to you guys and gals and seek Him with ALL your heart!
