About Me

My photo
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.

Letter from Barclay Smith


The following is a prayer letter that Barclay Smith wrote. He asked me to include it on the blog as part of the Amplify entries. Thank you for your entry Barclay. It was encouraging to receive the words of another believer on this trip.

Dear Lord,

I truly am speechless. This week has been nothing but a week filled with you. I came here with so much on my shoulders and somehow, I know by Your grace, has been laid at Your feet.

This week has been exactly what I needed. I came here with pride, and I will leave with humility. I came here in a valley and will leave having climbed to the top of a mountain. Thank you Lord that we, as young men and women, have come to serve the community, the people, and Your chosen people here in Port St. Joes, FL.

Thank you as always for the opportunity as in my training through men’s fraternity, a Bible ministry, to reject passivity, lead courageously, accept responsibility, master my emotions, and ultimately expect a greater reward, God’s reward, your reward Lord.

In your holy and precious name, I pray Lord Jesus (Trustworthy King), Amen.

In Love through Christ,

Barclay Smith

Ps. This goes out to all men. The last sentence of my letter to the Lord is the definition of authentic manhood. The call to manhood, a Biblican man is hard at times, but always, always rewarding. I love you men, and God bless you all.
