Questions About Life

Sometimes I Wonder…And Even Question…

September 20, 2011 By John Bendever, Jr. 1 Comment

Have you ever found yourself in one of those tin life where EVERYTHING just seems so hard?  I’m in one of those times right now.  For almost all of my life, I have been too busy; then my daughter was born and that changed everything.  She slowed me down, made me value family, and helped… [Continue Reading]

Craziness!

March 25, 2011 By John Bendever, Jr. 1 Comment

I started the year with every intention of posting at least once a week….and that hasn’t happened.  While I had good intentions, I don’t think I really realized just how demanding writing that much would be in the midst of the rest of life’s demands.  For one, I had no idea we would be attending… [Continue Reading]

I posted a status on my accounts across the social media world earlier this week that read, “I didn’t accomplish half of what I wanted done in 2010, but I REALLY enjoyed watching my babygirl grow up! 2011 won’t get away from me!”  That wasn’t hype, I was sharing a true resolve for the goals… [Continue Reading]

New Purpose in 2011

January 1, 2011 By John Bendever, Jr. Leave a Comment

I’ve had my blog since early 2009, but I have never been really serious about blogging.  Until today, I have mostly shared about my personal life to include interesting situations, professional & personal accomplishments, and random thoughts. Obviously that has not kept me motivated enough to write on a regular basis, so I am mixing… [Continue Reading]

Just Dance 2 – When I Grow Up

December 29, 2010 By John Bendever, Jr. Leave a Comment

Another round with Candace and me.  She still hasn’t been able to beat me….and I am amazed at her number of excuses. However, I think i am going to have to let her win a dance every now & then….otherwise she won’t want to play anymore and the Wii will be a wasted gift. So… [Continue Reading]

Just Dance 2

December 26, 2010 By John Bendever, Jr. Leave a Comment

Playing Candace’s Wii on Christmas morning. The funny thing is, she is the choreographer & dancer…..but I haven’t lost to her yet.  We have played several times, and she can’t beat me!  She needs to figure out she doesn’t have to dance herder….just move her hand the right way….the game only reads the control you… [Continue Reading]

About Me

I've always believed life had more meaning than just living until you die. To this day, I still believe we all have a higher purpose placed on us by God....we have the choice to accept the calling....or ignore it.

I walk in my calling daily, and I invite you to join me for the journey.
