I'm tapping out...

I always laughed when I saw the "I am retiring" notices, but after much contemplation I am hanging it up, have had a lot of fun, but through out all these experiences I realized I will not be fulfilled by any experience...I am devoting my time and efforts to being a better husband and when you give more you tend to get more. I have noticed the more I hobbied the more I was pulled away from my spiritual upbringing. I allowed the devil to create a strong hold in my life and I am breaking free of those bonds, and in order to do so, I must recommit myself to my wife and to make the Lord Jesus Christ my reason for existence rather than my own personal selfish desires. Proverbs 26:11 Says " As a dog eats its own vomit, so a fool repeats his foolishness." I am no longer going to return to my foolishness. May God bless each and every one of you.

Cowboy, I thank you for all your contributions to our community over the years. There are very few folks here on the west texas boards who have not benefitted in some way from your input. I also have much respect for what you're doing and wish you the best.

Best wishes and many blessings to you and your family. God Bless you, Cowbooy!!
