PRISON FOR THE WEEKEND

A Friend Of Mine C.D. Womack Told Me

One Time As He Walked Into The Gym,

"Man It Feels Good To Get Out Of Prison."

I Had Watched C.D. Come Into The Gym 4 Days

A Week For Almost 6 Months, So I Knew

There Was No Way He Had Been In Prison. As I

Asked Him What He Meant By That He Began

To Tell Me That He Was Into Prison Ministries.

He Volunteers To Speak With Prison Inmates About

The Word, And Helps Lift Them Up During

Their Time Of Struggle. No Background Check,

No Knowledge On What Got Them There, But

Simply Sparing Time To Talk With A Stranger

In Time Of Need..... Period. I Began To Study

About Prison Ministries In Texas (Kairos)

And Started To Think This Would Be Something

I Could & Would Love To Do. I Let A Year Go

By Without Looking Further Into What

It Would Take To Start Volunteering My Time.

As Of Next Month I Will Be Getting Involved With

The Ministries & Cannot Wait To See What

Doors Open & The Direction They Lead Me.

"Then The King Will Say To Those On His Right, 'Come,

 You Who Are Blessed By My Father, Take Your Inheritance,

The Kingdom Prepared For You Since Creation Of The World.

For I Was Hungry & You Gave Me Something To Eat, I Was

Thirsty & You Gave Me Something To Drink, I Was A

Stranger & You Invited Me In, I Needed Clothes & You

Clothed Me, I Was Sick & You Looked After Me, I Was In

Prison & You Came To Visit Me." -Matthew 25: 34-36

NEVER FORGET THE STARTING LINE

This Picture Was Taken At The 300 Spartan

Challenge At CrossFit Point Break In 2010. Kyle Was

My First Training Partner In CrossFit. We Met

In A Garage That Was About 150 Degrees In The Middle

Of The Summer About 3-4 Days A Week And

Trained Under Justin Stidham & Carl Edwards.

From The First Air Squat To The Last Deadlift Kyle

Always Pushed Me To Be A Better Athlete & Never

Give Up On A Workout. We Trained Together Off & On

For Almost 2 Years And Never Once Did He Stop

Doing Everything It Took To Become A Better

Athlete, Friend, And Overall Person. Big Ups To My

Boy Kyle For The Long Road He Has Traveled

And All The Progression He Has Made In The Sport

Of CrossFit. #RegionalAthlete2012 #RaginCrossFit

"Never Surrender, It's All About The Faith You Got:

GIVING UP WITHOUT GIVING IN

Trying To Make Things Happen All The Time

Creates A Lot Of Unnecessary Anxiety. It's Stressful

Trying To Deny What Is. When I "Give Up" I Simply

Accept Life As It Is. No Strings Attached. No Wishing

Things Were Different. If An Action Needs To Be

Taken, I Take It. But I've Given Up Letting My

Happiness Be Dependent On A "Thing". Most Of

Our Problems Only Exist Within Our Minds.

They're Not Real Physical Problems; Yet Simply

Imagined Obsticales. It's Interesting To Me How

So Many People Have So Many Problems, So

Many Dilemmas. Now I Don't Exclude Myself From

Having Problems Or Having Dilemmas, But I

Just Don't Think Half Of What We Deal With In

Which Causes Us Stress Is Neccessary. When I

Speak About Giving Up I Don't Mean Give Up

On Your Dreams. We All Want Certain Things To

Happen For Us, Our Family, Our Friends, But To

Constantly Dwell On What Is Not Happening Causes

Us To Forget What Is Happening. Try Giving Up

Something This Week And See How It Makes A

Difference.

YOU ARE WHO THEY ARE

If Anyone Knows Me Then They Know That I Am A HUGE

Believer In Surroundings. Not Just In Training Or Fitness

But In Life! There Is An Old Saying - Nothing Makes

You Crazy Faster Than Hanging Out With Crazy People.

The Same Could Be Said For Being Successful - Nothing

Makes You More Successful Faster Than Hanging Around

Other Successful People. One Common Thread With

Successful People Is That They Say That They Had

The Help Of The People That They Surrounded

Themselves With - Very Few Say They Did It Alone.

I Believe Anyone & Everything Around Me Effects

My Life In Some Way. It May Not Be A Way

That I Can Always See Immediately, But The Effects

Eventually Come Out From The Shadows.

You Are Who You Hang Around... It's Just That Simple.
