Not a typical Sunday

Usually on Sundays my family and I wake up around 7:30am. Everyone heads down stairs for breakfast. Nothing big probably some cereal or something else quick. Then it's time to bathe and get dressed for the day. After getting dressed, we pack the family in the car and head to church (It is important that we keep God first in our household.) After receiving some glorious word from our pastor, we head home to relax, do some house chores and prepare ourselves for Monday. But this past Sunday was not a typical Sunday. The morning routine was the same as it usually is, breakfast, bathe and get dressed. However I proceeded to leave the house a little earlier this day. I headed north on I95 towards Baltimore. My destination: 1 Winning Dr, Owings Mills, MD. Let me just say it has been my dream to play in the NFL ever since I can remember. On this day, I attended the NFL Regional Scouting Combine in Baltimore at the Ravens Practice Facility. They tested us in different drills. 40 yd dash, short shuttle, position drills and a few others. After the combine, I got back in my car and headed home. Along the way I made a few phone calls to people who inquired about my day. When I got home I was greeted by my daughter with a big hug. She and my son were happy to see me along with my wonderful wife. As I reflect on the day, I know that experience has put me one step closer to realizing this dream I had since I was little. While there's a possibility I don't make it (which I highly doubt, not being cocky just very confident in my abilities..lol), there is also a chance that I will make it (because I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me). Now I will pray and leave it in God's hands. If it should happen that I do not make it for whatever reason, I find solace in the fact that I gave it my all and I'm proud of myself for that. I realize not a lot of people can say they did what I did that day. But the ones who have done it will tell you, it's definitely NOT A TYPICAL SUNDAY.

My Thoughts Exactly

I really thought I would be further along in this process by now and not writing my first post just today but whatever. It's never to late to start and you gotta start somewhere. Just to be clear these are my views, opinions and thoughts no one else's, so if you don't like it or have a problem with it don't read it. Now that we got the disclaimer out the way, lets begin. I originally started this blog a while ago with a different name, Thoughts without a radio. It was an ode to my old vehicle which had a broken radio. I even wrote a post for it but never posted it. I may share it later. The perfectionist in me would not post it until it was a masterpiece free of grammatical errors and every sentence flowed off the tongue and it read like the perfect novel. The other part of me was worried what someone might say about. Well things have changed. I'm not that person anymore and I don't have that car anymore, which is what prompted the blog name change. I started this blog to just speak my mind on issues, events or nouns (for those of you that are a little behind a noun is a person, place or thing.) Yes, I did just take you back to grammar school! But again I am just stating my opinions and views on certain things. Maybe you won't like it but maybe it will make you say "Those are MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!"
