Just a trip with friends

Here's another video I made back in July. A trip with friends, 400 miles in 3 days.

Flight 93 Memorial

Here's a video I made back in the summer after a trip to the Memorial with friends. It was a beautiful day as we trucked across I76 in Pennsylvania. The volunteers that work at the Memorial are there 365 days a year from dawn till dusk. Shanksville has a population of about 600.

My Big Brother

It's another happy day for the Hatfield family. My Big brother turns the over the hill age of 37 today. I wish you a happy birthday since you didn't call us back. Hope everyone is doing well, the ninos and the boss :). We love you and hope to see you soon.

Rainy Days

As many of you already know, except for the fires out west many of us are covered in rain. Such it was this past week for me. Rain, Rain, Rain!!! I was in it, on it, around it, and drove through it. Thank god for the rain, but I'm ready for a break. The past two days have been a relief. I made it home for a few days and will probably be home for a while. sheeeew! Good to be back home.
Starting to make the winter plans. I'm wanting to do more speaking engagements, but we are waiting to see the Lord's direction. Possible teaching a couple of seminars this winter on a Positive Lifestyle. So much going on and it isn't even here yet. I'd like to take two trips, one to Florida (the home of Oranges and everybody's old folks) and the other to Seattle to visit my cousins new church "Resonate" (it's in the links).

Thoughts: One of the things that has occupied my over the past few months is the direction of society. I know, I know big topic, but what concerns me is the extreme everything. bigger, badder, better, High Def this and high def that. Life is too busy, it's not simple at all!!! I'm concerned about the children, both mine and yours. We fill our days with things to do in search of more stuff, we have forgotten what's really important, people and relationships. If we can get past ourselves long enough to see someone else, maybe we can help our fellow man. We have become hard hearted. I.E. I was trucking through Pennsylvania when I came into traffic, a troubled teenage was on an overpass threatening to jump into traffic. By the time I got there the police had the lanes under him shut down. Now this posses two points, first what was so bad that he wanted to end it all? Second, the CB rang out truckers who were suggesting that either they tazz him with a tazzer and let him fall or that he just jump so traffic could get moving again. What they were really saying is that their inconvenience was more important than this young life. It wasn't just one trucker either, some were considering blowing their horns as they passed by to scare him off, and making several comments like that. How sad that we could just watch a kid die, to just hurry down the road. This wasn't viewed as a tragedy just an inconvenience to delivering freight. Where is the value of human life? Why don't we care anymore?
We are all busy. That's a given, but we are busy by the choices we make. Felicia and I have committed to watch less TV and talk more. A friend gave me an awesome CD version of the dramatized new testament to listen to with the kids. Spending time with them and as a family. Family what's that? America has forgotten even the people we live with. They have become disposable like an inconvenience. Brooke and I sat down and played Monopoly the other day. She begged me until I put aside what I was doing, and then I had fun!!! My children aren't inconvenient to me, I must remember that the best gift to give them is my time. The only non renewable resource I have, and they are worth it.
I'm expecting big changes in my life over the next six months, possible a change in employment. I'm waiting the right direction. An open door with divine help. Stay tuned, more to come.
