Life

Well my second blog is now underway. I really don't have much to say, but there are a few things that I feel I need to say. I have been working pretty consistently now for a long time and working out of town for over two years. I enjoy the job and the work that I do, I also like the money I will not lie. But they have now switched me over to a different rig, which in some ways are good and in some bad. I now can show a new person what I actually know and have the opportunity to shine. But this will be back to 7 days a week all the time.

I went to Tennessee and had the chance to get back into church and living the way that I should and I enjoyed it. I came back here and wanted to continue but I will not lie it has not continued as I hoped. We work a little more and I have friends here that don't go to church or even think about it. So there are the occational days that I was way tired so I over sleep on my one day off, there also days that they want to go the beach so I do that instead of church, but there are still days that I won't do anything because I want to go to church. I normally go to the little First Baptist here in town just because I know where it is and it is easy. But today I went to church in the movie theater, I was hoping that they would have gotten out of the rut of having to act one certain way and being stiff(if you know what I mean). They did it I actually want to continue going, and now comes the dilemma. I will be working so much that I know I won't be able to, I could call in sick every Sunday but then my job would not last so much longer. I could quit but then I would not have any money or anything to support myself with, or I could just not worry about and work the whole time and just go when ever it is convenient. What do I do?

Now the other problem I have right now is that I feel I am missing a lot of the lives of my family. My parents are at the ranch with lots of things that need doing, and probably could use some help with, not to mention I just never get to see them and haven't for the last 5 years. I have a brother, sister-in-law and 4 nephews that I'm sure have plenty of attention but they are getting it from their Hendricks uncle. My relationship with my brother got a lot better once we got to get away from each other, we used to hang out off and on, now we are both so busy that unless, I am in town at some weird time then I'm working or he is. The relationship with Heather went from (not sure what she thought) probably the worst relationship I had with anyone in the world, to completely social, and I would actually consider her a friend. I would stick up for her in any situation now, when not too long ago I would have found a way to make it her fault. Sorry, by the way. I have never told you that and I think you deserve it. I have nephews that can walk and talk and the last time I saw them I was asking Heather what they were saying to me. They are all smart and do some wild things and are well taken care of by their immediate family and their church family, which I am happy for. I feel like when I get there I am just a visitor to them more than family. I would have liked to have been there to help when my sister is tripping out. I would like to be able to know what all has to be done before that wild bunch of boys can go to bed, but all I know is that they go to bed.(and get up early no matter how long you were up the day before) I wish I could change that. On that note if anyone was to ever harm anyone of my family members, I would not get to see my family much for a while. In my old age the things that hold closer to my heart more than ever is my family.

I know some of you are worried about me waiting too long to find my wife, don't worry I won't marry a divorcee with kids, I going to become an international playboy. HA HA My hair is still here and not falling out yet so I think I have some more time. I'm not looking but if she comes along don't worry I will probably settle down, stop working so much and give my parents their first female grand kid. (that will be my curse)

So there is my life up to the moment. I miss my family, I want to live right, but I'm not sure how to accomplish this task. I am a "let me fix it" kind of guy, and I always feel like my problems are petty, so why bother God with them. I should be different, and I try sometimes, I would rather me have it rough so everyone could have it easy.

Basically I know I am not forgotten but I would like to be remembered, not just not forgotten. Pray for me, I need it.
