I'm a 48 yr old single father of two daughters I was saved in 1997 fell in 2001 and just found my way back in 2008 I was giving a copy of Wild at Heart by a true friend and it opened my eyes and heart to some serious issues in my life. Thank you God and John.
I umpire Fatspitch softball for a living (NPF, NCAA, H.S. and ASA) in the winter I work PT for a local newspaper and ref. some H.S. basketball.
My daughters are 17 & 8 and next to GOD they mean the most to me. The oldest is a Jr. in H.S. and the youngest is 8 going on 30 (lol) I do fight for them daily and always will.
Even though I'm not into hunting I do enjoy fishing and hiking the dunes near my home. Just trying to stay in shape.

Hi Fred,
You were on my mind this morning so, I thought I would drop you a note... and a joke....
A blonde teenager, wanting to earn some extra money for the summer, decided to hire herself out as a 'handy-woman' and started canvassing a nearby well-to-do neighbourhood.
She went to the front door of the first house, and asked the owner if he had any odd jobs for her to do.
'Well, I guess I could use somebody to paint my porch,' he said, 'How much will you charge me?'
Delighted, the girl quickly responded, 'How about $50?'The man agreed and told her that the paint brushes and everything she would need was in the garage.
The man's wife, hearing the conversation said to her husband, 'Does she realize that our porch goes ALL the way around the house?'
He responded, 'That's a bit cynical, isn't it?'
The wife replied, 'You're right. I guess I'm starting to believe all those dumb blonde jokes we've been getting by e-mail lately.
Later that day, the blonde came to the door to collect her money.
'You're finished already?' the startled husband asked
'Yes', the blonde replied, 'and I even had paint left over, so I gave it two coats.'
Impressed, the man reached into his pocket for the $50.00 and handed it to her along with a ten dollar tip.
'And by the way, ' the blonde added, 'It's not a Porch, it's a Lexus'.
Thanks for your comment on my blog post and your interest in participating in the BraveHeart Intensive. I've just requested to be your "friend" on Ransomed Heart. Once you agree to that, I can invite you into the BraveHeart Group on this site where we'll have a private place to talk about the upcoming intensive, and you can make a final decision about whether you want to join us. Thanks!
Fred,
Welcome to F.L.Ex. You have stumbled into quite an eclectic group of MEN striving to be a positive example to the ones that call us Dad. Your girls are beautiful. We would love to hear your stories and join you in your walk with your girls.
Firmly in HIS grip,

Hey Fred, in the top tool bar go to "Groups" and in the top right corner next to your name click "Add Group". For the group address, it will "auto fill" that in for you.
Any prayer request?
lol...okay, now there's an introductory comment I don't hear very often...and just for the record, I am a natural blonde and part Newfie (if that means anything to you...) :) And I do like a good blonde or Newfie joke.
Glad to have a friend with a sense of humour. Welcome to my world.

I'm sorry Nicholas - I got in a hurry and used the wrong name....I apologize.
I'm convinced that we all need good mentors....in life...and to help us decipher our callings.
How is the men's breakfast going? Any opportunity for a sage/mentor there?…
Brent i see you included my entry but address your comment to Gary, i will give you a quick response i am finding it tough at the moment i have been praying for a sage/mentor to come alongside and its really difficult i suspect God is asking to look…
Jonathan, I remember years ago God healed me physically of a bad back. My friend prayed for me, was not touching me herself, and I felt this warmth on my back and then presuure, more pressure, till eventually the bone that was out of place God put b…
Eve, I am a very "self protective" person, however, when God asks me to go to church or mix with christians that puts me in my "uncomftable zone" I will do it because I love His body. So I do think it is possible to be both self protective but not w…
Thanks for your comment Isha.
Gary, your example also reminds me of how Jeus walked in perfect peace....no fear...yeah! I wana know Him more too! I want that peace that flows like a river and never ends! There is SO much more in Him!
Jim, welcome back!
I was wondering how your work with your teenage son was going! I am glad Pat flushed you out of hiding!
You do remember that hiding (or passivity) is the sin of Adam don't you? We need to get back into the fray even when it scar…
A group for Cigar/Pipe enthusiasts who enjoy a good conversation a little deeper than just sports or politics (although those topics aren't necessarily off limits!).
Was praying for you Deborah - that He would shine His light so you will be able to see the truth from the lies, renounce "agreements" you have made, and come into a larger place of freedom . . .
When studying the verse, "Come unto me (Jesus) all ye who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest. Learn of me, for I am meek and gentle of heart," I read one author defining meek as being the opposite of anger - which led me to James whe…
Just joined Ransomedheart.net... I'm in Colorado Springs and an aspiring writer, and looking for others who appreciate a walk with God that extends beyond "traditional" church walls. i see this group is small... but maybe we can stir things up? I lo…
