Sweet Game

Miniture golf is actually the only kind of golf I have played- I love it! Such a blast. This game has some interesting holes. It takes a bit to understand how to putt but read the instructions and you shouldn't have any problems. I was doing great until the last hole! Let me know your score, post it- remember lowest wins!!!

Dirty Feet

I can't stand having dirty feet. I mean I can put up with it for awhile and I enjoy dirty activities- like mud day at Camp Sugarpine, but I don't like my feet to stay that way. In fact I can't sleep if my feet are dirty. There is just something that drives me nuts about even the thought of sticking dirty feet under the sheets- ugh! At Whitewater I would have my wet wipes right by my bed so that at night, when I was ready to get in my sleeping bag I could sit on my bed and wipe my feet down pretty well before sticking them in bed. At home even, if I feel my feet are dirty I will stick them in the sink and wash them off. I've been told it is kinda a funny sight, me standing at the sink washing first one foot then the other. But oh, as that water and soap runs over my foot taking off all the dirt and grime from walking around a dirty environment, it feels just heavenly and I can sleep in peace.

Stupid Videos

Since so many of us will be away at camp I wanted to leave some fun things for those of you who stayed behind to do. So check out these videos, they are pretty sweet:) I can't figure out how to stop the auto play so just go through and pause them all and then watch 'em one at a time- sorry!!!
Remember TNL is back on the 25th!!!

Happy 4th!!!

I love fireworks- they are so great! I always feel so patriotc when I am wearing red, white, and blue, listening to "God Bless America" as the fireworks are perfectly synchonized with the music. It's so cool. I feel like a little kid again.



Not to take away from the 4th because I love celebrating our independence day- wonder how BBQ became the official food of 4th of July. Like turkey at Thanksgiving, you have to BBQ on the 4th of July. Anyway, that is a total tangent- but back to what I was saying. . . not to take away form the 4th but I must say that Disneyland's 50th Anniversary Celebration fireworks show is the most spectacular I have ever seen. Just had to throw that in there:)

Where did June go?

Wow- I can't believe that the 4th of July is a week away! That is insane! I am still trying to get into the summer mindset- I mean summer is here. In a few short weeks we will be leaving for summer camp and then before you know it, the summer will be over. Summer always goes by so quickly it seems.

I just wanted to throw the eagle picture in my blog because I think it is really cool and really patriotic for the fourth.

This other picture I will have to explain. First, we had mild thunderstorms today after an insanely hot weekend. What is up with the weather!?! The thing that is driving me nuts is that I don't know because I don't have the weather channel anymore. Yes, I know, I am a geek- I love the weather channel. (to find out more about the weather channel check my November blogs) In fact I don't have cable at all right now and what I miss the most isn't saturday morning cartoons or CSI, it is the weather channel. Pathetic. Anyway this is a cool shot of some crazy weather so there it is.

Optical Illusions Part 1

I love optical illusions. I find it so fascinating and such a good reminder that we can't always trust our eyes. These few pics I have today are just a couple of the optical illusions that I have. I find these sidewalk painting to be really fun though. You see it is all a matter of perspective.

Life is so often like that. As Christians we get angry, feel hurt, or are afraid of what other people say they believe. We shouldn't though. We have the truth of the Bible which we can look through to then see truth. We don't have to be afraid or angry about things that come up in our culture. We just need to realize that people who aren't Christians don't see things the same as us. They can't. Until they accept Jesus into their lives they have spiritual blinders on as it were. We see things with Jesus, they have to look at the world without Him inside of them. They will have a very different perspective. I'm not saying we should keep this an "us vs. them" sort of thing, no way! God wants everyone to see things in the light of His truth. I'm saying that we as Christians don't have to be afraid of what others say and we need to be patient with people who don't know the truth- they can't see God's truth because their perspective if off- like looking at one of these pictures sideways. Becasue it really is all a matter of perspective.

It's Time!!!!

I was thinking earlier today- you know, it has been awhile since we have had a silly picture of Travis (I'm sure you all were thinking the same thing- for the other silly picture look in the November blogs). So without further ado, here is our wonderful JH pastor looking rather silly:)
