Sorry for so few posts

OK, I've been a little "Slack" in posting. Well, it's not all my fault. First, the post below this one was submitted on 10/24... and I just got it to go. My host made some changes to the backend of the website and it's taken me some time to figure out what I needed to do to my blogging software to get it to post again.
As most of you know by now, Patti and I are seperated, and the divorce papers have been signed and filed at the courthouse. We have a court date of 12/13, 9am and we hope that, since it's uncontested, and we've already divided out property, that it will be in an in and out deal.
What many of you don't know is this... I've been pushing myself, and I mean PUSHING to lose weight. Between the car wreck, the injuries, the surgeries, the depression over the loss of the baby last year... well, I let myself go. When I was at the doctor in late June, I weighed in at 408 lbs!!! That's way over the 250 lbs I was when Patti and I married in 1996 (Way back when I was 21). While I may never get back down to that weight now that I'm nearly 33, I am going to do what I can.
Here's what I mean by PUSHING myself. Since August, I've lost over 40 lbs. I only dropped 10 of that in August, the remaining 30 lbs have come in the last 2 months. On September 18th, I bought the Calorie King software. That has made the change for me. No fad diets. Just watching what I eat, keeping a food diary (in the software) and exercising.
Here's the proof to back it up....(Weight Chart)

Well, I've had a MySpace.com page for a while, but never really used it. I've always felt that Rapid Fire Dreams was MY personal Space. But, since I'm being pushing into a situation where I'm having to start things over, and face having to do things I thought were long in my past.... I'm also going to "Try" to be more active on MySpace.
And no, I'm not giving this page up, or this blog. I'm just not going to "ignore" my myspace.com page like I have in the past. I've revamped the profile, uploaded some pictures.... We'll see what happens.

True Wealth
Posted on Wednesday, November 14, 2007 at 12:30 PM by Robby Roberts
Even with the financial burdon I'm facing right now, I could not feel richer. Why you might ask? It has nothing to do with money, but with where true wealth comes from, God - and the wealth of family & friends he has blessed me with. If not for them, I would not have the strength to make it.
It's something I thought about after the message at Church Sunday. Not that this was the point of the message, but God used it to make a point BEYOND what Pastor Tony was teaching.
"You can become rich by being
generous
or poor
by being greedy."
Proverbs 11:24b (CEV)
Now, think about what I said about where true wealth comes from and that verse makes SO MUCH SENSE. The value of a friendship is so much more. Sure, I could be greedy and save my money for my wants, but where would that leave me? While I may be in a tight space, if I can spend just a little of my money to help a friend, or make them happy, then the reward to me is more than worth it. God, Family and Friends are the three most important things you can invest in and the return on that investment can never be calculated by any accountant.

Chuck Norris Approved

OK, I still have not made up my mind who I'm for for 2008. However, Chuck Norris is backing Mike Huckabee and they've put out this actual ad that is too funny to ignore!
