Memorial Day is always an emotional weekend for me. You see, my birth father served three tours of Vietnam and came home from war alive only to be killed by a drunk driver on the side of the road across the street from our house. I don't dwell on it, but these thoughts are always in the back of my mind during this holiday weekend. Drinking and driving has always been a hot button for me. As a teenager, I remember getting so angry when I would be in a restaurant and the party at the next table would get plastered, then leave in their vehicle. When we pastored in Union City, TN, we heard a banging noise one night and found our next door neighbor had fallen and broken his hip after he drove home drunk and fell off his front porch while trying to unlock his house. His wife actually said to me, "I told him I knew he was not too drunk to drive but he was too drunk to walk." Excuse me??? The scary thing is our son, Nathan's room was right next to were he drove into his...

God, I give you my tomorrow..... beginning today Yesterday is gone- the mistakes and the victories are out of my control. Forgive me for those things I did wrong. I thank you for the strength to do those things I did right. But tomorrow is yours. All of my hopes and dreams- I surrender them to you. All of my plans- I lay them before you and ask you to guide and direct me. To open the doors you want opened in my life and to shut those I should not walk through Use me as your vessel to make a difference in the lives of those you have put within my realm of influence. I give myself to you.
