The Personal Blog of Jake Ackerman: Worth The Wait
http://jakeackerman.blogspot.com/2009/05/worth-wait.html
A Record of My Life and Lessons, and My Quest to Become the Man God Intended. I don't have a clue who first coined the phrase "Anything worth having is worth waiting for". but they were right. If you have ever been ridiculously hungry, you know exactly what I am talking about. Somehow food that you waited for, and anticipated always tastes better than running to Taco Bell because it is time to eat. Even after the parties got back together, it has taken 3 long months of work to finally structure something...

The Personal Blog of Jake Ackerman: Lost in Space
http://jakeackerman.blogspot.com/2009/03/lost-in-space.html
A Record of My Life and Lessons, and My Quest to Become the Man God Intended. If you read my blog today, please take a minute to do something with me. Put your cell phone away for a minute (no texting). Clear away any distractions - and take a few deep breaths before you read on. Now read carefully and pay attention to your feelings. What is your purpose? What if this went on forever with no end? If you had to live the rest of completely alone, what would you do? Finding LOVE out there in outer space can...

Change America by Changing Ourselves. Unity in Purpose, Personal Responsibility, Value Driven Decision Making, Financial Awareness and Responsibility. Sunday, January 4, 2009. Consider what it must have been like in the years preceding the American Revolution. I cannot imagine the exhilaration that must have overtaken them. the events that culminated. Like a pot of water heating on a stove waiting to boil, accelerating faster and faster toward an instant where it was changed. Perhaps early on George Wash...

http://jakeackerman.blogspot.com/2009/06/pain-can-be-facilitator.html
A Record of My Life and Lessons, and My Quest to Become the Man God Intended. Pain Can Be a Facilitator. I have a couple of incredible stories to tell:. As soon as they got home, they jumped in his new sports car and started racing - literally breaking traffic laws, running red lights, swerving in and out of traffic to get his wife to the hospital. SHE WAS IN PAIN! She is yelling: I have to push! His wife says it was the most pain she has EVER felt. Here's another pain story:. Vern called me because I wa...

The Personal Blog of Jake Ackerman: What Might Have Been
http://jakeackerman.blogspot.com/2009/06/what-might-have-been.html
A Record of My Life and Lessons, and My Quest to Become the Man God Intended. What Might Have Been. A friend of mine said recently that the most painful, most difficult, and scariest thing we will ever have to face is "the man we might have been". This statement was like a punch in the stomach! It goes along with the poem by John Greenleaf Whittier:. For all sad words of tongue and pen, The saddest are these, 'It might have been'.". What might have been if I had only made different decisions in my life?

The Personal Blog of Jake Ackerman: Starting Over = Never Give Up!
http://jakeackerman.blogspot.com/2009/06/starting-over-never-give-up.html
A Record of My Life and Lessons, and My Quest to Become the Man God Intended. Starting Over = Never Give Up! In my life, I like to have a plan. Hmm. I propose that we start with A, B, C. then we move on to D, E, F, and G. As we continue things will progress through from H, all the way until we get to X, Y, and Z. Having the plan interrupted - or feeling like the plan is interrupted can be very difficult. Now T messed up my puzzle I have to start all over! I don't want to start over! When a day like today...

A Record of My Life and Lessons, and My Quest to Become the Man God Intended. A Toast To 2010 - The Best Year Yet.". Aahhh, 2010. Two Thousand and Ten. Zweitausendzehn. Twenty Ten. It is here at last. 2009 represents for me the greatest year of my life, EVER. It was probably. The hardest year, one of the most challenging years. maybe the scariest year - but there is no question that so far - 2009 was my best year ever, and I feel so thankful for the past year. Some of my favorite accomplishments of 2009:.

The Personal Blog of Jake Ackerman: The Adventure of a Lifetime
http://jakeackerman.blogspot.com/2009/07/adventure-of-lifetime.html
A Record of My Life and Lessons, and My Quest to Become the Man God Intended. The Adventure of a Lifetime. Check out some of the lyrics from the popular band U2. S song "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For":. I have climbed highest mountain. I have run through the fields. Only to be with you. I have scaled these city walls. Only to be with you. But I still havent found what I'm looking for. Would I have a sense of loss, that I had missed an opportunity - or jealousy perhaps. That may sound crazy, an...
