Watch the news recently, anyone?

If Israel attacks only in Lebanon, it is likely this will just fade away as another mideast skirmish.

But if Israel attacks Syrian or Iran; I think things are about to get interesting.

Ah Sookie!

I just put a great Micah dance video on Tori's blog. You will want to watch it. It is the best Micah video yet. It was filmed a month or more ago, but I'm just now getting made and on there. Check it out at Little Sugar Mama (link on sideabar). Leave a comment and tell us what you think.

hats

Micah has this new thing where he likes to wear my hats. Used to, he would just throw them off and play with them. Now, he like to wear them around.

But he hasn't gotten a firm grip on what defines a "hat". So you can put anything on this head and he walks around like that. Right now, he's walking around with a blue and white washrag on his head thinkin' he's the man.

New Posts

Tori and David have both posted new stuff on their blogs. Take a look and comment.

Buford, We Have a Problem

(For those who don't know, my Xbox 360 is broken, but I have a warranty, but BB is making it harder for me than necessary.)

So I called the BB in Buford and tried to get them to let me come swap it out, I talked the the Customer Service gal, and then to the manager and made my complaint that they told me I could do it, and now their not letting me. I told them they allow that in Macon, etc. She said they fired a couple of people for telling people that, bla bla bla., bottom line, despite my compaints, she still wouldn't agree to take it back in-store. So....I have no choice but to go through all that rigamaroll paperwork to get it done.

boo

zoo

Took the kids to the zoo today. Maybe I'll post pictures later. It was HOT!!!!!!! (As I'm sure Michael can attest to, since he was at 6 flags). And don't go all macho and say it wasn't hot, just cause you live in Fla. You know it was hot. The high was 99 F in ATL.

As I looked at the mighty yet majestic Silver back Gorillas, and the kingly Lions,.....one reflective thought settled on my mind...... how cool would it be to see those two fight to the death. Who would win? I think the lion probably would, but I would want the Gorilla to. Those things are super strong...and I'd want to see it pick up a lion and throw it about 150 yards in a perfect spiral. Zoo Atlanta workers...think about it....you could make this happen!!!

Colbert and Congress

more tears...and I also started to run out of breath I was laughing so hard.

You're Not An American

I cried. I laughed so hard...I cried.

Camp Story

So I'm back from camp. Whew! That was kind of rough on the old bones. They had those kids going non-stop from 7:30 am to 11 pm and beyond. I usually have a problem falling asleep at night; not this week. I couldn't wait to hit the bed.

Overall, we had about 120 or so campers. I had 11 boys in my cabin who had just finished the 3rd grade. One of them accepted Christ at the end of the week. Ironically, it was the kid I stayed up real late with the first night, because he was crying, wanting to go home.

I had 2 assistant counselors, one was a upcoming 9th grade white boy; and the other a black guy who was going into the 11th grade. I mention the colors because it played a positve role throughout the week.

The age of kids in the camp went up to kids going into the 7th grade, so I had the youngest boys of all. I had them on purpose, because I didn't want to have kids I was going to teach the next year (have to avoid that buddy buddy stuff with that group) and I didn't want the boys who I taught last year; of whom some were there. (Because I don't have a "revenge" death wish.)

Because my boys were so young, they caught the main gist of most Bible stories and cabin devotion times, but sometimes a few things were over their heads. (I was pushed into explaining adultery...that was interesting to put into 3rd grade language.) But the boys did good overall. One very good lesson was the one about Jesus washing his disciples' feet. I washed the boys and the assistant counselors feet, and afterwards, without asking, Shawn, the black assistant counselor washed mine. I think that, along with the story of Jesus talking to the Samaritan woman, was a good opportunity to demonstrate Christian love crossing racial boundaries to the kids (and counselors). That is the kind of experience many of the racist rednecks I went to highschool with should have had as children. I like to tell about when my parents dropped me off at a camp once, where the WHOLE CABIN was black except for me and this other white kid. ...but it did me a world of good, because I was great friends with them by the end of the week; and if more kids got experiences like that it would prevent alot of ignorance I see.

But anyway, eleven kids said they were accepting Christ by the end of the week, and there were more who were dedicating themselves to doing God's will in their lives. It was a good week.

But man...in the pool....those kids were trying to beat the crap out of me. They thought it was funny, because they were all trying to take me down but couldn't. There'd be all these boys hanging off of me and I'd raise my arms and declare my invincibility. And they'd try to take me down, and I'd pretend to not notice they were even on me. And every once in awhile I'd act like I saw them and thought they were barnicles and I'd pick them up, often over my head, and throw them. (Except for one hefty boy, who I just had to push down.) They loved it. I have small, finger sized bruises on the insides of my arms from where they were gripping me.

The camp food was actually really good; which was a nice suprise. ....ok, thats about all I can think of to write about camp. Except that now this will be my last week off, and then I have pre-planning that starts next week.

The End.


 

On day 2, we hiked up a mountain. It took 1 hour and 25 minutes to hike up, I don't know how long to hike down. While there, the kids heard the story about Adam and Eve getting kicked out of the garden of Eden. (It was supposed to parallel our having to hike out of camp and up the mountain.)


 

I'm Back

Updates to come. I'm in Warner Robins. When I return home tomorrow, I plan to put updates on.
