A Taste of What's Ahead

Here's a little taste of my next blog posting. It's too late to post it all now so keep checking and I'll soon tell you the story of "The Hunt."

Confession is Good for the Soul

Yes, folks, I have to confess - I cheated on my brothers and hunting buddy Craig. I couldn't resist it. I just gave in to my sinful carnage. As you can see in the picture, I started our elk hunt early. My little walk in the woods turned into a full-fledged elk hunt. At least I didn't pull the bow string and let the arrow fly before I came back to my senses and caught myself. Oh, the agony, if I would have carried through with the shameful act. But they say it is as bad to think it as it is to carry it out, right? Woe is me. What will my fellow hunters think of me? Oh well, you know what they say.....

The boys have been busy working on school projects and sports practices. Collin earned a starting spot on the 8th grade offense, playing right tackle. He's really enjoying it so far. They have their first game Thursday evening so it should be fun. (He's #78)

Adam is already working on his basketball skills, amongst his studies and his job at Arby's (and drawing, of course). Unfortunately, he has to work during Collin's game Thursday. He is taking advantage of our home court (the driveway), though. I think he's ready to push right on past football and get to the round ball.

As far as Tamra and me......you know, we're just happy to have all this activity. I was talking to a brother from our Church at the Dillon's gas pump today and we were discussing how fortunate we are to have everything at out fingertips. Yes, gas is high priced, but we still are able to get it. We have all the food we could ever want and we even have the choice of what we want, most of the time. Good water is available to us out of the tap and we always have clothes to wear. God has supplied our every need and sometimes it's easy to overlook that. What an awesome God we have!!
