| Introduction | I believe I really know who I am some days. I even have an idea of who God is - some days. Seems like those two pegs oughtta keep me hangin' pretty steady most days...and they do. Really. It's simple but it works. There IS a God and I ain't HIM! Even still I have my days when I find myself sloggin' down that muddy loggin' road hopin' I don't get stuck, you know? Some days, the trudging is just slow and difficult. Period. In a moment of PURE brilliance, Scott Peck decides to launch his landmark book, The Road Less Travelled, by announcing in the first three words that "Life is difficult." When I first cracked that one, I wondered JUST where he was headed with THAT!?? But he goes on to remind us that if we can accept that, Life can be pretty darn GOOD! I try to remember that on those days when my fears make me wanna pull the covers back up over my head...and I get up anyway and trudge the road. I try to mine a little faith nugget outta every day somehow...and I almost always find it in recovery circles. My prayer is usually, "Lord I believe... help my UN-belief." Much love, my friends... ~ Wes |
| Interests | Skiing a steep black groomed run at Vail from top to bottow without stopping, banging down the same run in the Summer, but on my classic suspension-less Cannondale. :) Ridin' the Hog in the mountains in the Fall. Or the Suzuki offroad in the Hill Country when its cool. Eating dinner in my reserved seat at the iPic while watching a great new flick. A day trip to Enchanted Rock or Bastrop Lost Pines to get grounded and in the moment. Mowing the lawn on a Spring day when its cool. |
| Favorite movies | Saving Private Ryan, Good Will Hunting, all the Bourne movies, The Italian Job, and some oldies; The Jungle Book, French Connection, Dirty Harry (both seen underage at The Village Theater.) LOL. the new True Grit, The Shawshank Redemption, Braveheart, No Country For Old Men and other Coen Brothers' stuff, I liked all the Matrix Trilogy, and Jaws scared the crap outta me back then.
