You appreciate the craft of words
When today so many have simply forgotten the meaning in its entirety.
How do I craft a message of sweet thoughts to express how I feel?
I know for once I am dealing with thoughts that are precious, thoughts that are real.
You have been through the eye of the storm with one too many rough winds,
But then again, all of us have experienced valleys and low points of different levels.
I am trying to be patient in efforts to remain serene within my own mind,
But sometimes I wish I was not able to see your smiles in sadness in a world so blind.
I know you love God more than anything else in this world,
And perhaps that is what I admire of you and for you at best.
I pray with earnest pleadings that for once in my life God would grant this blessing with grace
So that in each passing moment I may see again and again the brilliance of your beautiful face.
Only then will the race of each day come to rest
Because it is then that I know you are here to stay.
There are no more escapes, no more contests to conquer, and no more pointless goals to pursue
Because I am able to sigh and stare in bewilderment of thankfulness that I am with you.

About Me
- James L. Cartee iii
- I am one of the most random people you may ever meet. I do my best to enjoy life in general, and I try to be content with what God has blessed me to have in my life. I am a blunt, honest individual that will give you an honest opinion if asked. Relationships are the most important things in my life. I am concerned with only the opinions of close friends, family, and other close relations of people who care about me. Otherwise, I tend to not care what other people think of me. I am not here to please the world. I am on this planet to serve others in hopes that God finds favor with my efforts to do so at the end of my Earthly existence. I am a good-natured person that lives for the moment. Even though not always successful, I try to look at things in a positive light with a productive attitude and world view. I am thankful for each breath that I take because each breath that is taken is a blessing in of itself. Make the most of what you can while you can. You get one chance at this thing called life. So try your best to Glorify God and Enjoy Him Forever. If you have any questions about me or my BLOG, don't hesitate to ask, and I will give you a straightforward answer.

I am off the radar screen...
I just got off the phone with a girl that berated me for asking advice about her friend. The unique coincidence was she was calling me to ask me to do a favor for her. I do not think I will ever understand the opposite sex….maybe that is the point: I am not supposed to. Is that where God comes in to connect two opposite minds and perspectives because without God this would not even be possible?
I wish that if you liked someone you could just tell her and that would be the end of it. You date, and then if things progress beyond that, then great. Then, if not, no harm has been done. Things are so much more complicated than just being simple. Perhaps that is why I miss South America sometimes. Americans have sophisticated lives. Guys and girls alike have broken hearts, and with each broken heart comes a new complication for the person next in line.
I honestly do not consider myself a bad guy; in fact, humbly, in God’s created image, I think I am pretty unique in comparison to the masses. Regardless of intentions and inner qualities, sometimes the harder you try, the harder you fall and then the harder you fail. I guess that is where God’s role steps in. In order to succeed with any girl, I am beginning to think it is impossible without an all- knowing God to help you along the way.
