I know I know...I haven't been keeping up with this as much as I want to.
I just got back to Houston from Colorado Springs about 2 hours ago. I had a training seminar for work to go to. What a week it was. While we were on our way to check our luggage in at the airport on Tuesday, we saw this guy walking with a few guys escorting him in suits. The guy being escorted must have been a prisoner b/c he had handcuff chain things around his ankles and a chain around his waist that had his arms involved some kind of way. He didn't look dangerous--the men were very nice and respectful to him and he was very chill and compliant. I actually felt bad for him in a way...
Everyone in the airport was staring at him. I know he obviously did something wrong and I agree that there should be some type of punishment for whatever it was he did. However, I truly believe that we should say prayers for this man and all of those who do not have God in their lives. I don't know why I have certain feelings but something was telling me he was trying to become a better person. Maybe he was on his way to rehab...I will never know. Either way, this man is in my prayers--he and all those trying to turn their lives around deserve our prayers.
Once arriving in Colorado Springs, 4 of us hopped in a rental car to head to the hotel. Yeah, it was slightly brisk...15 degrees or close to it. It had snowed the day before a little bit so there was some residual snow left.
Thursday night, I got to hang out with my cousin Suzette and her husband Pete. It was so nice to get away form the hotel for a bit and see a little more of the area that what I had seen. I actually walked around the city a bit taking pictures which will soon make it on the blog.
Suzette drove me through the Garden of Gods park which was AWESOME!! We met up with Pete at their house and went to Ted's for dinner--a restaurant, not a man :) After eating, Pete and I played Wii for about 2 hours--I think I burned 39 calories!
Today, I returned to my lovely wife and child and beautifully clean apartment, where I anxious wait the arrival of Adam Trufant, Gabriel's Godfather!!!!!!
Well, for now I am heading out, but you will get to see some of my pictures soon!!
