The luck of the Irish!!

Yesterday I played in a golf tourney at a nice country club and just had an amazing time. I won't go into all the details, but suffice it to say that I think I learned a couple things. I also was sitting around at the end during the raffle, and there it was, my number called, and I won a round with four at the course (a $400 value). I'm not so excited about the round as I am about maybe pawning it off for a nice bag :) I also met some good people yesterday.

Real Friends

Real Friends are the ones that do what they say. They go out of their way for your feelings, and would be trampled under an elephant....fill in the blank....I also think real friends tell you when you are out of line, but not when you are hot about it, they do it when you can listen and in a way you can listen. Real friends do the whole repentance thing where they say they are sorry, and then turn back from the way they are acting, they aren't saying they are sorry so that they can continue in that course of action or saying they are sorry for your feelings. Just thought I would say a little about friends and also that I think Donald Ruben Keele III is an amazing friend.

The Procedure

I'm not going to tell you everything, but I will tell you some things. I had to have this awful procedure done called a flexible sigmoidoscopy. It was awful. For the prep I had to starve myself and give myself enima's! This was awful...AWFUL!! Then when I went in for the procedure I was wide awake during the whole thing, and I also had to endure this incredible painful procedure. Bit of advice: always take the anesthesia and the colonoscopy (you drink instead of insert). I was traumatized the rest of the day, and I'm just starting to recover.

An epitaph for a loved one

Lacey,
This is the name of a loved one that was such a beautiful creature of God. Her name means "lace-like" which in some ways described her looks as well as her personality as she was a princess in some regards. Tonight the call was received by a dear friend that Lacey had a seizure and rolled down a hill, therefore they will be putting this beautiful old dog to rest. She leaves behind a loving master in Shayna Bowman, as well as a brother, father, and mother. Lacey always strived to be the most loving dog she possibly could be, by bringing joy in laughter, comfort from pain, and companionship to bar out loneliness. Lacey got to enjoy seldom bursts of freedom when the door would momentarily open and there was just enough room where she could go flying out to defend her land from squirrel and cat. Lacey had her fair share of waffles from her family, and even enjoyed a man who couldn't say no to her no matter what he tried. Lacey's life was long and good; she will pass at the ripe old age of 17 which is well past what most dogs enjoy. Her last days were plumb and easy, and she will most be remembered for her nights sleeping in the bed of her master Shayna Bowman. Goodbye dear girl.

Memories

Once when I was 7 I went into a field with my friend Richard Matthis. We took these really cool sturdy sticks and started acting like we were teenage mutant ninja turtles. We chopped down like 7 long rows of corn, swinging our staffs around like donatello, and using them as a sword like Leo. They figured out it was us, and my mom and Richard's mom had to pay the farmer for his destroyed crop. What's worse is I lied and said that Jacob Greene was there, one of my other friends who wasn't there. Sad story I guess, but boy was it fun.

I can wait no longer...

I am so excited by thought that Christ will soon be coming again! I've been thinking a lot lately about things, and isn't it interesting when you compare the last 100 years with the rest of time in every subject. And what about the last 30 years? Is that a healthy way to look at conclusions about Christ?

What is your favorite old book?

I'm reading 20,000 leagues under the sea, and realizing that they just don't make books like they used to. When I was a kid I actually liked to read, and I think it was because I like those books, but don't like the books that exist now...What do you think, what is your favorite old book?

9th grade Girls....wow!

I took 3 of my youth group girls out to taco bell tonight for fun. They are all freshman girls. I guess I don't really need to say more, but I will. So what I don't understand is a couple of things right now, 1. why do they always giggle about nothing and then when you ask them what they are giggling about it is too embarrassing for them to tell you? 2. why do they never ask me any questions?....ya know a one way conversation is hard, and frustrating!

It's My Birthday!!......April Fools :-)

No, but seriously, it is. I love it when people don't believe me. I don't even try to convince them. But just to let the world know through my blog, today is my birthday, on April 1, 1985, which means I am 24 today....April Fools Day.
