Not only did he do a great job on the message but he stuck around afterwards and did a bunch of pictures and autographs. He also served as the flagman for the mini races. What a blessing he was to this event. I is really what made it worthwhile to even have the event.

Trey Canard Wins 2011 Dallas Supercross

Trey Canard is a Champion supercross rider based in Shawnee Oklahoma, just a few miles down Hwy9 from Fry Lake.  He has been faithful to always give glory to God in his TV interviews. I watched a video online of him explaining his faith, and then asked our small group to being to pray with me that he would speak at our OCCRA church service at Fry Lake. I got an email from Trey last night offering to come and speak. now you can pray with us that he will be effective and lives will be changed.

I say king of romance.  

If this is how he asks a gal

to the prom, how do you

suppose he will propose

to his wife?

Shelton High responded by banning him from the prom. The letters were cut out of cardboard and put up with tape. I say harmless, cancel the prom if the most romantic kid in town can’t go!

UPDATE: Tate and Sonali will be able to attend the prom after all. The school administration has reversed their decision:)

Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Shriver announced their separation late Monday

I had trails and roads to fix and the excavator was having starter issues. Once I got it started I knew I needed to do as much with it as possible since I would need to get a starter installed before using it again. Halfway through a hot day of work I ran low on diesel. I normally get the diesel myself but since this was Mother’s Day I took the empty cans to the house and told Julie since it was Mother’s Day I would LET her do it as a way to celebrate. It looked like I had her undivided attention at that point, but I was wrong. Apparently instead of listening to what I had been saying my wonderful wife was noticing how hot I looked. Showing how resourceful she is, she immediately dumped her entire glass of ICED TEA on me. Gosh, what a gal, she was even willing to give up her tea to help me feel better!

Some literary liberties were taken in the telling of this story:)

I read this quote in the TIME article posted on YAHOO NEWS:

“Despite the huge age gap, the Yemeni family considered it an honor to marry off their daughter to bin-Laden. The al-Qaeda chief reportedly paid $5,000 in jewelry and clothes for his teenaged bride who was then brought to Afghanistan to marry the grizzled warrior – already on the U.S. most-wanted list for his role in the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.”

I cannot understand how it could be an honor to have your daughter marry bin-laden. Even if they agree with what bin-laden was doing, how can parents want that life for their daughter?

When I got up this morning it was four BELOW zero!!!

We had about 12 inches of snow today!  The temperatures are supposed to get below zero tonight.  This is unusual weather for us.  We do get snow sometimes, but usually not this much and the temperature doesn’t usually go below the teens!  It is beautiful though and we are very thankful for a warm house and a woodstove that heats the house well.  Dave went out to get wood and when he came in, he must not have shut the door all the way.  Here he is sweeping snow out of our house!  Fortunately, it only got just inside the door!

Mikey’s funny thought today was a sad one in my book.

Behind every successful man is his woman. Behind the fall of a successful man is usually another woman.
