Well folks, me and the wife just got back from the beach. We had a real good time too. The wife was real excited to wear her new Dukes of Hazzard swimsuit and she was the best looking thang on the beach, let me tell ya. We had allot of excitin things happen to us while we were there that I might write about next week. But one thing happened that I just couldn't wait to write about.

At the beach we go to there is a little buildin with consessions, bathroom, and showers. I usually don't go in it because we bring our own snacks and the bathroom is kinda nasty because people go in there drippin wet from the ocean, and if I go in behind them there is always a puddle of water in front of the toilet... and I can never be sure if the puddle is ocean water or if their aim is bad... I'm not a big risk taker.  But this time my wife forgot to pack anything but potatoe chips, and I just wasn't in the mood for those... I had a hankerin for something a little more healthy. So I walked over to the concession building intending to order a hotdog with mustard and chili.

When I got up to the window I seen somebody that looked familiar. Sure enough it was my exwife's sister, Brenda. Now there is one word that describes Brenda, and that's BIG. Big mouth, big head, big liar, big meany, and most of all big boned. The one thing that used to get under my skin the most was she would always talk about how she was gonna start eatin healthy, but every time you seen her she'd have a cigarrette in one hand and a pepsi in the other....ooooh it makes the hair on my knuckles stand up just thinkin about it. Well, unfortunatly she was ahead of me in line and I found out real quick that she ain't changed a bit.

It took her like 5 minutes just to order. I lost track of what she was gettin after the 4th flavor of doritoes, but the total came up to over 9 dollars. That might not sound like much but most thangs on the menu coast about 50 cents, so that's like 20 items. Thankfully when she turned around she didn't notice who I was (probably because I was so sunburned).

Seein Brenda again got me thinkin about my own life. See Brenda never could understand why she had health problems even though she never took care of herself. And I cain't judge her because there's things in my life that I do the same type of stuff. For example I got 8 subscriptions to wrestlin magazines and I always wonder why I don't have no money. I stay up late on satuday's watchin TV and then wonder why I don't want to wake up for church on Sunday. Most important is I always want to get closer to the Lord, but I go days without readin my bible or prayin.

As I pondered those things the Lord brought a quote back to my mind that I heard a while back. "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result." Now, I know I ain't insane but I guess in God's eyes I act that way sometimes. See when the Lord saved me he gave me a special ability that my former-sister-in-law don't have... that's the power of the Holy Spirit to help me change. And if I keep doing negative things I am basically denying the Holy Spirit from working in my life the way He wants.

That little experience change my life the past few days. I cancelled my subscriptions to the wrestlin magazines, I made a point to pray and read my bible everyday since then, and I am goin to bed after I finish this blog.

So, I felt like I needed to write this down because maybe some of you experience the same things. Don't be insane! Stop doin what your doin, make an effort to do things different, and let the Holy Spirit give you the strength to change. God bless.
