For those that haven't been so enlightened:

Four stages of life:

You believe in Santa Claus

You don't believe in Santa Claus

You are Santa Claus

You look like Santa Claus

Oh, and if that's not enough, I'm sure some of you have checked out the following site.....make sure you watch some of the videos

www.boredomhurts.com

the only problem is, if you decide to do it......you're bored...and heading for hurtdom.

On a more serious note (not by much ).....I'M GOING TO NC WEDNESDAY FOR 3 WHOLE WEEKS!!!!!!!!!  CANNOT WAIT!  And I get to take work with me.....how better could that be?!  ok....being with my love makes it MUCH MUCH better

anyway.....I have also been researching into working/learning on a ranch.  Pray that God would provide the best opportunity for me.  As for what I'm doing now...just working, working, working, PLAYING, working working, working, EATING, working, working, working, SLEEPING.....and then over again.

Hope y'all have a great weekend!  Oh, and be happy.......I POSTED.

DON'T FORSAKE ME!!!!!!!!

Man, life IS a highway......I think I got stuck in rush-hour traffic.......or somewhere between I-AMBUSY and I-AMINLOVE......both of which are true.  After watching another very special pilgrim pass me by on the way to Heavenville, I am poking along, stopping at various exits for fuel and fellowship (two fellows in one ship......one gets knocked overboard.......that's me)  Anyone lost?  I'm sorry.....I forgot....y'all have normal lives....75 mph in a 40mph zone.  Passing zone?  No where near me.......I'm on a narrow, desert road.  I think it'll eventually get me to where I want to go.......at least I'm reading the road signs, and they're suggesting that.  So.....between the tumbleweed, the canyon, and myself.......*shh*......I'm gonna trust em  They point North.....oughtta get me outta here sometime!  Though I feel like I'm going in circles, this road DOES climb upward......and once I reach the peak, I'm gonna thank the Stars for getting me there!

Regarding I-AMBUSY: Well, I am.  I really don't know what God will do with this medical transcription business.  We keep getting into binds......barely are able to catch up, basically working full-time.  When I'm not trying to put out fires, I'm catching up on MTs that were neglected, because of the fires.  It's nice knowing, amidst the annoyances, that this IS what God has for me!  In fact, this was the reason I ended up choosing MT work.....so that I would be able and available to help Kim and her family when all this happened!  What an amazing experience it is to be in the will of God!  But I'm happy, because........

I-AMINLOVE!  Yep, God and Ashley are making a man of me!  I'm learning soOoOoOoOoO much...and in record time hehe.  For any concerned, everything is going great between Ashley and I.  Yep!  We've got a funny notion......that we'll end up travelling my road (don'tcha pity her?!?!?! ) TOGETHER!  She's been great company...its AMAZING knowing I can look over at the passenger seat.....and she's still along for the ride!!!

Hope all is well with my brothers and sisters!  I love y'all  Below is a copy of a poster PFQ will be adding to the material to be stuffed in bags at the NH Homeschool Conference.  Okay, so I designed it.....in my spare line.  Eeeks!  Speaking of which.......some of you know what I'm thinkin 

God bless!  Got more concerts comin' up!  Happy times!

A Chinese Experience

Not long after we got back from our tour, we were invited by a certain pastor and his wife to partake in making, and enjoy eating original home cooked Chinese food.  They did all the preparation for this meal, and with our well instructed teachers we set to work wrapping egg rolls.  What an enjoyable and memorable evening.....even if you don't like chinese food.....it was QUITE the chinese experience

Learning the art of chopping.....sticks?

A chinese noodle......and all American fingernails.

Enjoying a wonderful Chinese multi-course dinner - this is the second course (soup).

Peppers and chicken cashew something-or-other, and a seafood dish with scallops, fish, shrimp, etc.

Everything fried rice, and broccoli and beef dish.

A special light-up ceramic scene, lit by lights in the back, and made in a 3-D format.  Really cool!

Ok, so I got a little carried away with the camera from here

A view from outside an assisted living home.

What a riot this lady was! 

Someone's enjoying it!

Yet another assisted living home.......they sure build em fancy up thar!

Oh wow - this lady so enjoyed our singing that she vowed she would tell everyone about us!  i mentioned that we had a cd, and she said she didn't have enough to buy one, so i went back to tell dad.  We decided to offer her one, and if she wanted to donate some money toward the ministry, that would be great.  She reached down into her purse hanging off the walker, and pulled out a heart-shaped lollipop.  WHAT A SWEETIE!!!!!!

Tuckered out from shoveling?!?!?!  I DON'T THINK SO!  sheesh.....i did that all, and she got the pic. 

I guess that's just retribution.....hmm.....have to think about that one...

VT/NH border

Froze to take this pic!

An artists rendition of a cute little restaurant we ate at in Randolph.  Best ranch dressing I've ever had!

This, believe it or not, was in the very middle of the town!  How quaint!

God truly did amazing things on this trip!  Extra gifts were given, people were blessed, I was challenged, and fun was had.  Oh, and we did a radio interview, which was totally awesome. 

Thank you for your prayers.........we look forward to another tour in our future!  And yes, the NH/VT Tour II is in the works for likely sometime in September.  It will be great to see the new friends we made.  Please contact us if you are interested in our family ministry for your church, etc.  Going on faith.......I LIKE IT!

God bless y'all!  Stay close to him........and God will be with you.

Keep the faith!
