About Me

My photo
Hello, im Tony and I'm absolutely ecstatic that you would take time to visit my Journey through life as I strive to bring honor to God. Let me be very honest, I am definitely not a perfect man or Christian! I've made many, many mistakes and will probably continue to make mistake, but I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus! I'm a PK (Preacher's Kid) and eventually became a minister myself in 1996. I can't believe it's been that long! I love music! I play several instruments (haven't mastered any...ha!) and sing. I absolutely love Football! Favorite College team: LSU Favorite NFL: Dallas Cowboys! (True Blue all the way Thru!) I love the country...It's how I was raised, so I like to fish, hunt, shoot, mud ride, camping, etc. I guess that's all there is to know about me! I love to meet new people, so feel free to hit me up. God Bless!

Legacy

Legacy: something or anything that is handed down from an ancestor.
As I sit here thinking about the word Legacy, I become more determined in my efforts to make sure I create 'a legacy' worth carrying on for my kids and grandchildren someday! I hope and pray that they won't look back and remember me for my job as just a dad or a grandpa, but that they would be able to see and live with the legacy that was handed down to them with that same sense of pride and determination that I had in creating it. Not because it feeds my ego, or theirs for that matter, but because it's important to me!
There's one thing that you should know about, in creating a Legacy. (I'm sure there's more, but for the sake of having to read a very lengthy blog, we'll say one!)
1. Creating a Legacy is hard work!
This is one thing that I've figure out in my own endeavors of creating a Legacy! There's a lot of sweat, tears, and blood involved in the process of being successful. One thing I know for sure, is that you don't just wake up one day and expect everything to just happen for the best! There are disappointments that you have to deal with. It's called LIFE! Disappointments should never be a stopping point for you. Work hard!

Check this verse out!
Romans 8:15 - 17 (TMSG) 15This resurrection life you received from God is not a timid, grave-tending life. It’s adventurously expectant, greeting God with a childlike “What’s next, Papa?” 16God’s Spirit touches our spirits and confirms who we really are. We know who he is, and we know who we are: Father and children. 17And we know we are going to get what’s coming to us—an unbelievable inheritance! We go through exactly what Christ goes through. If we go through the hard times with him, then we’re certainly going to go through the good times with him!

It's exciting to know that our Father in heaven handed down a Legacy to you and I, that we should carry on and not be ashamed! The Legacy of the cross is what we have and what we can share with others who are hopeless in themselves. We should never forget the price that was paid for us. So carry your cross (Legacy!) with pride and determination and walk in the freedom that's available to you and I!
