No, it’s nothing catastrophic. I’m just really struggling w the holidays.

I am so incredibly blessed beyond what I could possibly deserve, but my in-laws, and my mother are driving me up the wall.

I find myself wishing it was the day after Christmas. I know that’s wrong. I know I should focus on the glorious day that is our lord and saviors birth, but too many selfish people are working my very last nerve.

Frankly, just typing out this post is somewhat cathartic.

Please include my family in your prayers.


Merry Christmas to all, God is GOOD!!

Incoming prayers.

Time to clean some guns; lots of guns; really, really well - carefully, deliberately and slowly? A BCG itself could take a couple of hours of quiet, meditative time that no one else would want to be bothered with. Cutting and folding some patches for cleaning the bore? Nice and slow. And then, cleaning up should require a fair degree of solo time.

Good luck.

I feel your pain and can sympathize with you. The holidays are the worse time of the year for me personally. Having grown up in an orphanage and remembering the holidays there, in those circumstances always makes me sad for the kids still in those homes. I know there's nothing I can do for their situation and that's what makes me the saddest. I have so much and they basically have nothing but the roof over their heads and the clothes on their back.
I once tried playing secret Santa for an orphanage and it depressed me even more to the point that I never did it again. I couldn't bring myself to
do that any more. My depression starts about a week before Christmas and won't end until after the New Year but I'll survive somehow.
So, @sr30 I feel your pain, maybe for different reasons but I feel it all the same.....

You could always adopt or foster! I know your probably to old for a little one but I'm sure there are a lot of teens that could benefit from seeing your work ethics. If not that you could always mentor.

And @sr30 dude your a stronger man that I am with all of it.

Lord give him peace and joy. Amen

My wife and I are a little different. I'm 56 and she's 71.

For the last month we have been the shelter in the storm for a little fellow. His mom was homeless and she needed time to get her act together. So my middle daughter brought this 2 month old child to us. He's cute as all all get out. His mom is making strides in getting things together. Matthew 25:40 is my thoughts on this.

I'm having my best Christmas in years....because I completely UNinvited family. Family that usually shows up and stays for a week, then extended family that stays a couple nights (concurrent, so the house is jam packed). I've posted a couple "idiot father in law" stories over the years. I just said "no" this year and am focused on the wife and my boys. It's been awesome.


So, @sr30, I feel ya! You can get through it!
 
Well, I’m halfway through it.

Fire going, watching Christmas Story w the Mrs.

Part 2 tomorrow am, then it’s NYE in N Myrtle w my lovely bride.

Thx so much my brothers.

Merry Christmas to you all.

And a Merry Christmas to you also.... and everybody else too....
 
Now to add insult to injury of course, my wife’s ex is here to watch the kids open gifts.

Yay me.


Being a believer, walking in the footsteps of Christ, ain’t for no punks.

We tried that a long time ago and were turned down because of my background and upbringing.....
