DJ Willy J gig tomorrow night!

I am excited to say the least about my gig at Sluggo's. I will definitely have to update you guys on how the gig goes. I am hoping that this gig will lead to more openings to other paid gigs so that I can pay off my DJ gear. My next endeavor will be to become a mobile operation with all the right gear I need to make my mobile DJing happen. I have an action-packed weekend ahead of me. I have found that two o'clock in the morning has been the only time I can really relax and chill on the computer before the madness ensues. Recently in my life, tragedy has struck a family in Pace. A guy named Caleb Conner passed away due to what is rumored to have been an overdose. It's sad that it happened and his family has to face that tragedy but at the same time he was caught up in a destructive path. A path full of bad decisions that led to him choosing drugs. My prayers and my thoughts go to that family because I feel like they are very God-loving people. Each time someone near to me in some way or fashion passes away, I instantly think about my life and how it would affect my friends and family. I reflect on the way I have lived my life. I think about the idea of "Have I really lived my life the way that Jesus would have wanted me to live it?". Did I shine for Jesus or for myself and my own needs and wants? It reminds me of the passage in the Bible where the man walks by the poor and hungry man and instead of giving him food and shelter, he basically tells the poor man that he will pray for him to find shelter and food. As Christians, we do this very thing all the time. We look at someone in a certain situation and instead of being proactive, we just slide it under the carpet and tell them we will "pray about it". Who could have been there as a brother or sister in Christ to keep Caleb accountable for his actions and the path he was walking down? This is a difficult situation simply because of the fact that we cannot change fate or destiny but we can be there for our brothers and sisters to help them through difficult times. Who knows, someone could have made a difference in Caleb's life or it could have continued in the same type of direction. Please do not think I am placing any kind of judgement on Caleb if he did get caught up in drug-related activities. We all have demons that we deal with. I have things in my life that I am not proud of that could lead me down a destructive path but I am kept grounded by my friends, family, and faith. Just remember that Jesus is there for you and He wants to be there to hold you up and to help you walk away from the chains that bind you in your life.
