"If there is anything I can do for you or your family just let me know!." I HATE THIS PHRASE. Come on people those words when spoken mean you are not KIND or COMPASSIONATE enough to stop your selfishness to help. Quit patronizing those that need help and just do it. I call this JOCO, I am too busy making my life safe/easy syndrome. Dam, just go hold her hand if can't think of anything else! FaceBook Post
From SM - MP, I would try to do anything for you, but you are hopeless ... !!!! :)

From CC - Is everything ok? If you need anything let us know... We are here for ya. :)

From TJC - MP, you know Shara and I are always there for you guys

My Reply - This is not about me my friends and thank you I know you are there and have been of great help when I needed it. My intent here was to share with you my experience with my sister who is terriably ill. I have noticed those that offer help and those that just give help. Soup kitchen,mentoring young people, coaching, helping at school are acts that we just do with being prompted for details. Just Help was the point. Do anything, most times people in need will not let you know.

From CC - Couldn't agree with you more!

Old Friends and The Matrix
Right now your feeling... I can see it your eyes.. Do you believe in fate? I don't like the idea that I am not in control. You felt it your entire life that there is something wrong with this world. You were born into a prison. You take the blue...... the story ends you believe whatever you want. Take the red pill and stay in wonderland and I show how deep.. Remember all I am offering is the truth..Follow Me. Jesus/Morp The Movie "The Matrix" FaceBook Status Post

From DP - hilarious chuck, I can't top it, but I have done that. Don't call your wife or your mom. either call Palitto, Morpheus or johnny knoxville. one of them will think of something.

My Reply - It took you all this long to get me! You are much slower in your old age. In our youth you would not of let me have as much time to hang myself. What are friend for if they wait as long you have to chime in on my craziness? Happy Bday Chuck hope you drink too many strawberry daiquiris and throw up all over your wife and stain her white negligee that you stole from a stripper last week out on 175th Street and 169 hwy.

My Reply - Your wisdom is correct we all take both pills chasing them down with our favored numbing potion to only wake up here and there with a hangover and a minor feeling of guilt. You can call anytime and I will talk you down!(no pun intended)
September 14 at 5:26pm
From CS - Mr. P, How are things going with you? I had to finally chime in, you have to hit bottom before I can bring you back from the depths. I never steal negilgee from strippers,I usually wear it as some sort of hat! Thanks for the bday wishes, off to Norman Ok to watch my sooners play, and spend a few nights on the uncles farm.

I Don't Trust
I don’t trust a man who hasn’t suffered; I don’t let a man get close to me who hasn’t faced his wound. Think of the posers you know—are they the kind of man you would call at 2:00 A.M., when life is collapsing around you? Not me. I don’t want clichés...; I want deep, soulful truth, and that only comes when a man has walked the road. By John Eldredge "Wild at Heart"

Not only suffered, but a) are unafraid to admit it, and b) are living from a place of seeing the value in it and has grown from it. Thanks for sharing this Mike. Let's get together sometime soon.

When u state a man who hasn't faced his wound - what do u mean here? Is that to own up to his doings?? Confessing of wrongs to yourself or others? I do know Sherry and Mindy are two I would and could call at 2 am. Good people like u!

Our wounds are from the past inflicted upon us by others. A divorce, cheating spouse, addictions, real failures, and those wounds are parents gave are the deepest. These are the wounds we all have and it these wounds God uses to help others. Jesus us healed us through His wounds. Our wounds we bring to our marriages and in most cases they are what causes most of the difficulties. Acknowledge we are broken wounded children of God lets the healing begin.

Mike I read the book brother and I could not disagree with you "Wild at Heart" is an awesome book that I recommend all men to read. Wounds come in many different styles and flavors I find it to be very inspiring when one can confess the truth of his wounds. The problem I see is that most people are bias and uses those wounds against you once confessed. So where do you find such good people that are excepting and willing to over look the short comings of a man?

Sherry did a very bold and brave thing the other day and I was sooo proud of her openness about her past and not all of it is was roses.. but she sent me this and learning from my past and realizing we are not perfect and all have past faults but we must love the person for who they are not who we want them to be..... Who we are tells us alot about our walk with God- past and present- Here is an email quote she sent me. the beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them...thomas merton

Those who face their wounds find that God has given them their purpose in it. Look at John Walsh who hosts/found Americas Most Wanted. His passion and purpose came out of the wound of his son being murdered. Lara and Sherry show us in there message above what great women know and show us how to love that is why we need a woman. There are many friends here on my facebook that sneer and criticize me for my openness and the subjects i wrestle with. It is disheartening that my friends drop me from facebook because of my openness. In history any great man or woman has found their God given purpose through a wound. I know God is doing something spectacular with the wounds of my failed marriage. He has given me ministry to work with young men to share with them the mistakes I have made in dating and choosing a woman to marry. It is so amazing to see these young men wrestle with me and God. What is beautiful Joe is there are men out here wanting to heal and share their stuff.

Thanksgiving
Today I am thankful for each of my friends for all that you teach, share with me and give of yourselves to our relationship. A true heartfelt thanks for being a part of my life. May you find peace in knowing that being connected to each other matters more than we know.
I’m convinced being generous is a better way to live.
I’m convinced forgiving people and not carrying around bitterness is a better way to live.
I’m convinced having compassion is a better way to live.
I’m convinced pursuing peace in every situation is a better way to live.
I’m convinced listening to the wisdom of others is a better way to live.
I’m convinced being honest with people is a better way to live.

How have you been to God?
Consider the people around you and chew on this
Watch the kind of people God brings around you, and you will be humiliated to find that this is His way of revealing to you the kind of person you have been to Him. --Oswald Chambers
