Sasquatch Part 2

See the previous post to catch up on this, but dang! I just saw some of the funniest videos I've seen in a while from Brent Hodge (no relation to Scott that I know of) over at Table Rock Fellowship in Oregon.

Looks like they recently did a message series called Urban Legends and put together four videos using the Legend of Sasquatch as the backdrop... HILARIOUS!

Check all four of them out here. I love the A-team feel!

They actually have it filmed over at the Sasquatch trap near their town.
I wonder if they've ever caught one in the trap?

Anyway, thanks for the laughs Brent!
Peace.

Sasquatch

My wife just watched some sasquatch Discovery Channel show and is totally freaked out.

She can't figure out why no one has tranquilized and studied one of these things.

While I love her tremendously, this is the same woman who thinks us landing on the moon is a conspiracy. Let's see... landing on the moon... no. Sasquatch real... yes.

The videos are kind of interesting, AND whether real or not - are they that scary? My wife says yes.

Peace.

Tired

Sunday evening and I can barely keep my eyes open. The last several weeks I've felt completely wiped out as soon as I've had a chance to just chill.

Don't feel like I'm doing any more than normal on Sunday's but I think I'm having a hard time trying to recoup on the weekends. I don't take naps because I don't wake up well from them.

How do you recover after a full weekend of ministry?
Peace.

American Gladiators

My kids and I have started watching a 'new' show... American Gladiators. Every time I've watched with them, I start having flashbacks to when I was a kid. It's actually very, very similar to what it was back in the 80's.

My kids are interested in another new show coming out soon - Knight Rider. I can't believe this one is coming back and from what I hear, David Hasselhoff will star in the show. Was the show that good back then? I mean kit was a pretty cool car, but David Hasselhoff?

We need the writers back from on strike. Otherwise we'll be reduced to the throw backs. My kids think they're great though so maybe it's ok. They've also been telling me about this great show called I Love Lucy that they had started watching on their school break.

Wow. OK. I guess there are worse things in the world.

Peace.

I'm Back

Wow!! Finally back to the blog world on my Mac... I took a week-long vacation with my family. I, of course, had a lot of grand plans of books I was going to read, songs I was going to write and things I was going to get done, but time flies faster than I could have imagined.

I spent the first part of the week just chillin' with my wife and kids - watching cheap movies, cleaning out our basement and getting ready for our camping trip. We then spent the second half of of the week camping - tents and sleeping bags (though we were at a KOA so we had showers and indoor plumbing). We had a great time! Some good friends of ours joined us for part of our camping time and we had a blast. Rained a bit but not bad... until....

Torrential downpour on the morning we were breaking camp. Soaked to the bone and most of our camping gear drenched, we left for home, cutting our last day activities short. I would still count it as a great trip.

I actually had planned to do some serious blogging the first part of the week, but with my kids in shock that I was actually on vacation I decided to hold off until we went camping. The comment that got me was, "you mean you're really taking a vacation - from the Mac too?!?!"

Yeah.
Enough said.
I have a problem.

So needless to say, when we got to the KOA with the supposed wifi hotspot, I was disappointed to find the 'wifi' link was a plug in for a modem connection to your own dial-up service... who has dial-up anymore :) So, no blogging. Great time with my wife and kids though.

I love camping... the tents, the campfires, the s'mores, the marshmallow doughboys (if you've never had these, you have to try them), the fishing, the games... lots of good childhood memories. I am finding though as I get older that it would be much easier to go camping in an RV or something of the sort to eliminate the set up and break down time (not to mention give you some protection against the elements) but for now...

How about you? Anyone else like to go camping?
Good camping antidotes?

Have you taken a break lately just to spend undivided time with your family?
Peace.

What is Heaven like?

I was sitting around the dinner table last night with my wife and kids, enjoying some great food. I love eating meals with my family... it seems like that's the time we talk about some cool things. Sometimes we talk about some pretty deep things and sometimes (most of the time) we joke and laugh and tell stories or our day.

Last night was one of the lighter-mood meals.

There was a lot of laughing, giggling, talking, and of course - eating. Somehow we started talking about what heaven would be like for each of us. It was just fun.

Apparently one of my daughters would have an endless stomach and be able to eat steak and chocolate whenever she wanted. My other daughter would have an endless supply of paper, pens, paints, brushes, and clay to be able to create masterpieces. My oldest son would have a huge screen and the coolest video games at his disposal. We all agreed that Kristen would have a large fluffy bed in a sun-filled, breezy room, with every best-selling book at her fingertips.

What is your idea of heaven?
Peace.

You Know it's cold...

... when they close the schools for bad weather and it's sunny outside :)

Not even a whole lot of snow left on the ground but with a real-feel temp of -17 degrees at 1:30pm I guess it is a little cold out.

Have to say I've never heard of schools closing because it was too cold. We homeschool ours so no such luck for them.

Peace (and keep warm).

Cutting Loose

I remember my parents playing cards with family or friends when I was a kid.

It always sounded like they were having a great time.

Now, hangin' with my wife and some of my favorite peeps, I get to have fun playing cards too!

We laughed, talked and had some good ol' competitive fun. For those who don't know, my wife is a pretty ruthless game player. She was trained well!

Cut loose when you have the chance, especially if you can spend time with good friends.

Peace.
