Boys will be Boys

Play with fire, get burned. Well, I had a little upclose and personal experience with a flash fire. Long story. But, we had to try to re-enact the one that burned up my face. Yes, you heard it right, burned up my face. Let the puns begin. Let it be known, tumble weeds are ferocious. They burn hot, and burn quick. After my buddies got a good laugh at my stupidity, we all went out and acted stupid together :) Gareth, Me, Raymond, and Efrain were trying to get a boom and a mushroom cloud with some help with gasoline, tumble weed and caffeine. Its dark for a moment, but keep watching. After several attempts, we got bored and went back inside. Un hurt this time ! a

Reading, Riting, Rithmatic




Oh Boy. Well. We joined the ranks of public schools. This was not an easy thing. My wife has homeschooled for the last 8 years. But, after some turn of events and circumstances beyond our control, we enrolled them last week. We prayed much and sought God's will on it. Without too much detail, let it be known that is was difficult, however, we felt like it was the right thing and God has given us peace about it. The Kids have been doing well but it is a big change for them. We are pleased that is a small school, so that helps. If you think about us, pray for the kids. They must make decisions every day, and fight off the influences that can harden a tender heart. Kids have it tough these days. As a youth leader, I have several kids from the inner city schools, and believe me, they face a lot of things. Alyssa will graduate 8th grade while Marissa is in 6th. Trae is in the 3rd grade, but may be moved to fourth since he seems to be way ahead of everyone. So, all in all, keep us in your prayers !!

Boo !!







We usually dont do a lot for halloween, but no matter what, you gotta do a pumpkin ! Besides, hard to go trick or treating when you have no neighbors !! Well, we decided to do a pirate warning. Pretty cool. Basically, it was Trae and I. The girls were texting or talking on the phone, or whatever. Donna, wasnt feeling too well, so we didnt even get to bake the seeds. We did take a stroll around the mall later in the evening and saw some neat costumes. But overall, non eventful. Trae and I were pretty proud of our pirate pumpkin, so we thought we would share !!
