Your in Georgia

This one goes out to Gary! So I am on my way up to Georgia for a conference and being born and raised in the great GA, you expect certain things. Well of course my great state did not fail me. As Chad (our kids pastor) and I made the journey into Georgia there was plenty of signs for pecans and peaches, and signs for log homes. There is always the great water towers that are shaped and painted just like a peach. I must admit though that they look like booty's. Now here is when I really knew we were in the GA. We stopped to go to the potty and as I made my way in, I found ... drum roll ... someones tainted underoos that they messed and left for my enjoyment. Well welcome to the peach state. BOOM

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.

America

Camel Wrestling

So I am pretty sure that America misses out on some of the greatest sports ever known. Ye we have football and Lebron James, but do we have camels that wrestle? I mean look at all the people gathered to watch this. People are clapping, yelling, and dancing to great cultural music. So to America I say bring in the camels. Wrestling animals that have humps, we definitely need it.

Got to love it.

Balled Out!


This is something I could definitely see as fun. I love playing sports. Having a son is going to be a cool thing. Being able to teach someone to play catch and to shoot a basketball. Hopefully, Landen will be interested in sports. If not well then we can always do something like the video above. Sports are fun but throw in an over sized soccer ball and a kid that is willing to take a hit, now that is a sport. I wonder if he thought this was a good idea after the crushing blow from the biggest ball I have ever seen. Just throwing this out there, I really think this had to be a youth group. Being a youth pastor, it just really makes a lot of sense. I have seen students ride on mattresses and water skis behind a truck. I have also seen students take a dive into a mall fountain and a student put on a speedo and stand on the corner waving at people as they pass. This screams youth group. Lord please protect our little guy.
