Church

Just sitting here thinking what life would be like if I wasn’t raised in church.. I couldn’t even imagine. When I go a while missing church I really get to missing it. The people are like family and I could not imagine a life with no church family.. I pray for those that have no clue about church, they have no idea what they are missing. If you are reading this and don’t have a church please go to a church Sunday and give it a try and get the other family that is missing in your life

Things…..

I just had some things on the mind I wanted to talk about… One is the fact that no one understands how unhappy I am with the type of work I do.. I have been traveling for like 13 or 14 years and I’m really ready to come home.. Everyone is always saying just be happy you have a job. And yeah I am happy I have a job, but to me that’s not what is important. I have very strong urges to come home and to spend much time with my son as I can.. He is growing very fast and I am going to miss it all and no one else is, just me. So money to me is not really what is important. You can’t tell me out of all the people who are working in Jasper and making it without having to travel that I couldn’t get a job at home. Sometimes I feel like the urges may be God trying to tell me that going home is actually what he wants me to do. God is all about families and not material things. Money is a material thing right?

Also I am saddened at the fact how there isn’t much communication today.. It’s all about computers and texting and what not.. There isn’t much voice to voice communication. Everyone has gotten so busy that they can’t take time to call each other.. And I’m guilty of it just as well but I wish everyone could just slow down and take the time to talk.. I love Facebook because it’s great for me to stay in touch with people I wouldn’t normally keep up with. I have others that I used to talk to voice to voice more often but now I find us just talking on the Facebook chat or email or text.. It’s just not right people.. LET’S SLOW DOWN…. We have nowhere to hurry and go to..

Love

Why is love such a strong emotion? People will do so much more for someone they love than imaginable. It makes people disreguard any common sense. That’s why I try not to fall for anyone.. I have enough people that I love so much that I would do anything for that I don’t need any more. And what hurts the most is when one of those takes advantage of your love.

Trying to keep blogging

So I catch myself once again wanting to blog about something but having nothing interesting to say. I am always thinking when I am by myself, but most times it’s nothing of interest. I usually like to share things that I think everyone would like to read about. Although this is July 4th weekend I have nothing of interest. I don’t really have many plans for the 4th. Which shows how boring my life really is. I used to be one that was always on the go going places and doing things. But now I don’t, which if I had someone to do things with it would be different. I have to take my friend Kilesha to go eat just to be able to go eat a good steak in a restraunt cause I don’t like to go by myself. But when I have my son we usually will go eat one cause he loves steaks just like me. The single life isn’t that bad when you are younger but I am finding it to not be so fun the older you get. I mean I do have my son and he means the world to me and I probably wouldn’t have time for nobody but… Who knows. I don’t go to bars and I don’t get out much so meeting people is not probably going to happen. The church I go to has very very few single females my age so what is a man supposed to do when he gets to the point in his life that he realizes he is missing something. And that something is someone to share his life with. I mean I have nobody except for my son. And I only have him every other weekend. It shouldn’t be this hard. I have never had a problem finding someone to date. But I have just started realizing that I am very single and so not getting younger. But anyways I had no plans on talking about this but there it is.. Until next time God Bless..

The World Today

I have been just sitting here thinking about all the things going on with the world. It’s so sad to see the things that take place in today’s society. I’m not really that smart about the Bible like I should be but I can see that the end of time is near. There have been signs pointing to the end of time for years. And our wonderful president (Obama) sure is for the enemy. How corrupt does a country have to be to elect a president that is so against America as he is. I hope no one that reads this gets their feelings hurt but if you do go somewhere else. Cause what I am saying are my feelings. And there is a thing called freedom of speech. All we can do is pray that he is not elected another term. And hope that during this term he don’t destroy America. I just wanted to get on here and Blog, so I blogged about what was on my mind, which I always try and do. Take care everyone and God bless.

Beautiful day.

Well today is a beautiful day out and I just wanted to get on here for a second and say hello to eveyone. It’s been a lttle while since I have blogged. I got a new Blackberry Bold phone so my hopes are that just maybe I will blog more using it when I’m not busy. If any of you have or know anyone with a blackberry add me on the messenger mikecarroll44@gmail.com. Well I will be back in Bradford, TN this coming week. I guess after that I will probably be back in New Orleans for a couple of weeks. Hopefully I will be updating on here more often. For more up to date updates check me out on facebook and twitter mikecarroll44, of course.. Take care and God bless.

Mom

Well as everyone has probably noticed I have not been on here in a while. Sorry just had other things going on and haven’t really had the time to sit down and type a whole lot. But for those that still read, my mom had a pacemaker put in today and everything went well. It’s just hard for me to accept that my parents are getting up there in age. I could have never thought, in the past, that my mom would have a pacemaker. It really gets one to thinking. Like I said I am not one to show a lot of emotions and I get so close to people but hold back. And I feel like I have held back with my parents. I feel like I need to try and get closer than I am. I am close real close compared to a lot of parent son relationships. I just need to open up completely with them and enjoy as much time as I can cause when you sit down and really think about it you can’t get time back. Once people are gone all you can do is wish you had more time with them.. So that being said it is time for me to be a real son to my parents.

Busy

Just wanted to let everyone know I have been so busy lately and so tired when I’m not busy to say anything. Hopefully I can get back into it soon. Thanks for checking in. God Bless

Cancer

Well I have this very close friend that is like family that I have known all my life that found out he had larynx cancer. For those that don’t know him well he is my age, which is 39. He has had a very rough fight with it. Well today I found out that they have now found cancer in his leg. I am really upset over this. It really tears me up to think about it. I just hope that they can get all of this and there isn’t anymore. He is about to have to start his radiation and chemo or however you spell that. I just ask each one of you to take a minute for him to say a pray. His name is Jason Hice. God Bless

A lot going on…

Well I haven’t said much lately because I have had so much going on and a lot on my mind worrying about work. But I am relieved to say I think everything is going to work out. Which really takes a load off of me. I have been worried almost sick about my job. My company got bought out and I didn’t know if they were going to keep the installers which is what I do or not.  And then after I did find out I could stay there was a lot of rumors floating around that had me wondering if I was going to be happy.  Like not sure if they were going to be paying per diem or not.  And then the rumor was that we was going to have to pay for the gas up front and get reimbursed.  Which by the way could add up to about $600 a month or so depending.  We did have to take a 5% pay cut.  Which I can handle because that really isn’t as bad as not having a job.  The insurance has advantages but also disadvantages.  But after all the worrying they are going to pay per diem and for now it is going to stay the same.  The gas is going to have to be paid until they can get us a credit card for gas.  They will reimburse us within a week which can’t add up to a whole lot.  So for anyone that has been wondering what has been going on there it is.  I have never been one to talk a lot about my problems.  I feel like I need to but I have always been the type of person to hold everything in till it almost eats me up inside.  But I am hoping that thru this blog I can express myself more and try and open up.  It is not healthy to hold things in and I know that.  It’s just always been that way with me.  So I  have taken the rest of the week off so I could see how everything pans out.  And so far I believe it’s going to be o.k.  So thanks to everyone for thinking about me and praying for me.  It has paid off and I thank you.  God Bless.
