Bill's Testimony

Testimony I posted two years ago to Facebook. I pray it blesses you.

"After the events of today I thought I'd share my testimony. My first marriage failed as a result of my sin. I repented of my sin and turned towards Christ. Since then this is what has happened in my life: After 3 years and 900 job applications I found employment. Three years after that I am with one of the top places to work in IT in the United States. I also dated for three years without success. Then came Valerie Gei...s Horosz. the blessing of a lifetime. I have a restored relationship with all of my children. Coincidence ? No. Repenting and living the life God wants yes. Adultery is sin. Murder is sin. Stealing is sin. Homosexuality is sin. The Bible is clear that if you do not turn away or repent from your sin you will not be saved. That is why on a daily basis I ask for forgiveness, grace, and mercy from the only one who can give it to me - Jesus Christ."

I pray this video blesses you as well.

"Faith" YouTube Playlist

I encourage everyone to check out my YouTube playlist called "Faith". Many of the videos were recorded live in concert with a few that I created from pictures that I took. I pray this blesses you, encourages you, and helps you in your daily walk with Jesus Christ.

Psalm 19

"The heavens declare the glory of God;

the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

Day after day they pour forth speech;

night after night they reveal knowledge.

They have no speech, they use no words;

no sound is heard from them.

Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,

their words to the ends of the world.

In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun.

It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,

like a champion rejoicing to run his course.

It rises at one end of the heavens

and makes its circuit to the other;

nothing is deprived of its warmth."

Psalm 19 New International Version

Remembering Dad

I was very blessed to have not the perfect father but the perfect father for me.

I am truly at a loss for words about how much my father meant to me. He poured his life into me and gave me what I needed to succeed in life - love for his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, love for mom, his passion about everything from cooking to art to sports.

I was blessed to be his son. But being his grandchild - that was special. My children not only learned art but all three of the learned how to cook from my dad. They spent two weeks every summer at my parents enjoying Kennywood, the wave pool, trips to Sam's, cooking, art projects, ice cream, gardening and much more.

We are all proud of dad's service to his country in World War 2 in the United States Navy aboard the USS Lexington CV16. He shared stories with us about his day's in the USN and the perils he faced.

Dad served the church up until the time of his injury. He was a tireless worker helping with the baking projects, making kolbasz and hurka, teaching arts and crafts, and serving as Chief Elder.

"The righteous man walks in his integrity;
His children are blessed after him." Proverbs 20:7 NKJV

Thank you dad !

Happy Father's Day 2017 !

I would like to wish all father's everywhere a Happy Father's Day 2017 !

Here are the reasons that every Father's Day is a Happy Father's Day for me:

A Happy Father's Day would not be possible without my beautiful wife. Her love for her daughter and step children drives me to love my step daughter and children. A blessed circle indeed. It's capped off by her love for me and only eclipsed by her love for Jesus.

My children. I cannot be more proud of all four of them and in September welcome a firth as my daughter is getting married. Thank you for your love for each other and for Valerie and I.

"Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord." Ephesians 6:4 NIV

"The righteous man walks in his integrity;
His children are blessed after him." Proverbs 20:7 NKJV

Will & Peter Are Moving Back To Ohio

Three years ago at this time Valerie and I were excited and making preparations for Will and Peter to move to Florida. Today we monitor their progress as they move back to Ohio. And while we are excited for them they are taking a part of our hearts to Ohio with them.

Will has been working at Wireless Advocates for almost the entire time they were here in Florida. You may not know them by name but they are the cell phone kiosks in Costco stores. Well he found out there was a managers opportunity at one of the stores in the Columbus, Ohio stores, applied for it, and was hired. Will has earned this by his had work, dedication, and love for technology. He has had by far the best mentor on a job his former manager Rob at the Costco here in Brandon. He took Will under his wing and had a great relationship. Will was very well liked by his co workers and customers. I have seen first hand how he treats customers - even at the end of the day. There has been such growth in Will and I could not be more proud or happier for him. He really has found his niche !

Peter has had over a year in his job doing food service at Hawthorne Village in Brandon. He enjoyed his co workers and the residents and rarely complained about his job. One of the perks was being able to take food back home after work. Peter was so well liked on the job his co workers took him out on his last day for dinner and presented him with a gift of $250. Understand these are hourly people and some not full time. They told Peter they would love to see him when he comes back to visit. His supervisors and co workers gave him glowing references. I could not be more proud of Peter !

They spent the better part of ten months living with us to help them get established. Not only were Valerie and I blessed but so were our dogs - especially Diogy. She loved the boys !

The apartment they had was in a ideal location for both jobs. It was only 15 minutes from our house.

Some random thoughts in no particular order:

Instead of a 15 minute trip to see them it will now be a two hour flight.

Instead of seeing them 2 to 3 times a month it will now be 2-3 times a year.

Throughly enjoyed having them over to watch the Steelers games on the weekends. Even had some of my homemade chili !

Loved having them over for the Penguins and Stanley Cup Playoffs last year and up until they moved.

They became regulars at Valerie's family functions and were well received and loved by them.

We enjoyed going to several movie premieres together including a Star Wars and Star Trek movies.

They became friends with Valerie's daughter Jessica Bailey and had a mutual love of science fiction.

We enjoyed a Christmas dinner at Spinners in 2015 - a revolving restaurant on St. Pete beach with a breathtaking view.

One of our highlights was Christmas 2016. Will and Peter came for brunch, opened gifts, watched a movie, ate dinner, watched two more movies, and enjoyed a lot of laughter. One of my favorite Christmas's of all time. And we wished everybody a Merry Christmas !

Valerie and I purchased three phones from Will during his tenure at the Wireless Advocates kiosk at the Costco store in Brandon, FL. If you are a Costco member in Central Ohio and need a new phone, please see Will starting June 13, 2017 at the Costco in Plain City. He will take great care of you (shameless promotion for me son lol).

A huge thank goes to my beautiful wife Valerie for all she did for the boys. She was way beyond a step mother and loved Will &  Peter as if they were her own children. Her efforts led to both Will and Peter getting their jobs here. 

We are already looking forward to Victoria's wedding in September and seeing all my children together and welcoming Andy into the family.

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:28‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Our God wastes nothing. These three years helped Will find a good career and gave Peter valuable job experience. Seeing them succeed is incredible. But seeing them leave tugs at the heartstrings and will leave a void that only seeing them can fulfill. 

Please be in prayer for:

Will to do well in his new position.

Peter to find the right job in short order.

Will & Peter to find a good place to live that's not too far from work.

That they can get all the things take care of like driver's licenses &  car registration. 

For Valerie and I as this will leave a void in our hearts.

I close with a favorite song of ours - pray this blesses you as well.

Appreciate Your Prayers

Appreciate your prayers for two unspoken requests that are not health related.

God knows the need.
