I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.

Welcome back to the Turbine Traveler! I am excited to see you here and I am happy you took time out of your day to read my posts. It truly means the world to me.

I want to start a new method of connecting with the readers. These updates will be monthly or bi-monthly. Just a way for me to put out what’s happening in my life outside of work and such.

Well to start off I have been slowly deleting social media apps from my phone. It started with TikTok and today I did Facebook. It does take some time to get off the social media wave and train my brain to not try to seek those apps. I want to grow closer to God, that is my intentions. I was listening to this song by Jimmy Clifton.

[…] Oh, you see the internet its heart won’t melt. When it sends a couple billion souls to hell. […]

Razor Blade – Jimmy Clifton

This line hit my heart so hard because it speaks to the truth of what is happening today. I see it even at work, people always glued to their phones. I want to actually be there in the moment and live in the joy and happiness. So deleting apps from my phone has been the way for me to accomplish that.

I also want to start taking mini vacations when I go on R&R. I am done with rushing in my life. I get stressed out way to easily now days so I have been planning some trips, but I don’t want to drive the work truck everywhere. So I have been thinking of getting myself some toys. And what I mean by that is either a motorcycle or maybe even going for something that I don’t travel in but a toy to have some fun in while I am not at work, a powered paraglider.

I find myself not feeling fulfilled in life and that is probably 100% my fault. That is why I have turned towards my faith more and started looking at hobbies that I enjoy. I don’t entirely feel like myself sometimes and having this blog has helped me find a happy medium for me to express my thoughts. Now I do still struggle with outlining everything prior to putting it on the internet, but I imagine that will get better overtime.

I have owned a motorcycle before back when I was in college. It was fun and feeling the wind across your face is spectacular. But I do want to kick it up a notch and buy a powered paraglider. I used to fly regularly that is what I originally went to college for, see about page, and I love the feeling of escaping gravity. I’m not a person who goes out and seeks a thrilling adventure but I do like keeping my life interesting. Growing up I was constantly told to not let my fears control my life. When I got older I told myself that I can overcome my fears, which a big one is heights. Now every time I tell people I have my pilots license and I climb turbines but I’m afraid of heights they always look at me with a confused look. I have to explain that it’s not the heights that get me it is the falling. I don’t like not being in control and when I’m flying an aircraft I have total control of that vehicle.

I think that is where I’m gonna end this at, if you have any questions or suggestions please don’t hesitate to reach out!!! My email is Connor@TurbineTraveler.com.

Thank you to everyone who takes the time out of their day to read my posts, it truly does make my day.

Stay safe and God Bless!!
