Every year now for the last 11 years I get an entire summer off.  It is such an amazing feeling, but even more so this Summer.  This is the Summer I can devote to spending time with God when I am not doing football or wrestling practices.  It is a time when I can write and actually finally finish the 2 books I started writing so many years ago.  I have always used Summer as a time to just sit back and be lazy.  A time to enjoy the keys and take naps ( Yes, I do not have any Children yet, so naps still happen!)  God has placed it on my heart to write about a special book idea in particular, one that will reach many hearts, both men and women.  I am excited as I have started to listen to God’s voice and go in the direction he is sending me.  I want more opportunities to let Christ shine, I want to have fun with people, speak in front of crowds, laugh, dance and sing! Shoot I want to be undignified for Christ.  I do not want to let this Summer go as usual.  It is time to truly enjoy God the way he intended for his Beloved.  I know the more I want to do for God, the better the programs on TV are going to be, or the stronger the nap time is going to feel.  However, these distractions are simply that, things in the way of me getting to know Christ that much better and keeping his word from healing those that read what I write.  I am thankful for a God who says He loves me and then does everything in his power to make sure I know it. This Summer is dedicated to Him and in a way that the time I spend will  not be wasted, but used to glorify Jesus in my everyday life.  One Love, One King, All Christ!
