Illusion

Last night we got to see an illusionist, his name Brock Gill. Very interesting stuff, I must admit. The cool part is that he ties everything in with the message of Christ. Now being that he is a Christian does make it a little easier for me to think that he is not crazy or lost his mind. The guys pretty much placed death and chance in the same hand. So to Brock Gill I say thanks for doing what you do and making this all a little less confusing. Most of all thanks for sharing the message of Christ to students in a clear and relevant way. Also because I know that Brock frequently visits my blog, I would really like to be one of your illusions. Not in the illusion but be one. So thanks!

Small Group Gone Big

And along came a snake. This is one of those times that you truly wish you had a video camera. I will have to invest in one of those phones that has video. My phone does it all except video. GRRR! Anyways that sounds like another blog. Story is simple. Sunday night we had our student ministry small group with the guys. We where at a family's house from our church. We arrive, eat, and before our Bible and discussion time the guys play some hoops on the street. While playing the ball would go in this really small drainage ditch. Of course being guys you just go and get it, and they did. Eventually after a couple of times someone noticed a black thing moving in the water. IT WAS A SNAKE! Well they kept playing. Soon after the father of the home we where at found out that it was a WATER MOCCASIN. By the way a very poisonous and aggressive snake. After about 20 minutes of trying to get it out of the pipe under the driveway we successfully took it down. We pinned it with a heavy rake and then took a shovel to its head. We eventually had to get it to the concrete where we finished the job be separating the head from the body. I must say good times. Thanks to the brave students who took on this snake and also to Jeremy with the quick shovel blow.

Husband Gene

This blog is more of question. I was on yahoo this morning, mainly because it is my home page, when I came across this article. http://news.yahoo.com/s/hsn/20080902/hl_hsn/bondinggenecouldhelpmenstaymarried

It goes on to state that there is a study showing that males may possess a "bonding gene" which ultimately can determine if you will be a good husband or not. I must admit that I was a little sketchy on the "alcohol gene" but this one has no room for question. Let me know what you think about this so called gene. Read the article. I do have to give the scientist studying this some credit. He did say that this is not something to justify a guys inability to commit. I am sure that this will now be an excuse.
