The Right Tool For The Right Job.

I got this off of Foxnews.com but it's just to funny. What did she think would happen to the mouse if she hit it with a .44 magnum? I know people who are scared of mice but this takes the cake.

POTTER VALLEY, Calif. — A Mendocino County woman who was trying to kill mice in her trailer with a gun ended up shooting herself and another person.

The 43-year-old woman pulled out her .44-caliber Magnum revolver after she saw the mice scurrying across the floor of her trailer on Highway 20 in Potter Valley, sheriff's officials said.

But she accidentally dropped the gun, which went off as it struck the floor. The bullet went through the woman's kneecap, bounced off the keys sitting on the belt loop of a 42-year-old man in the trailer and grazed the man's groin before ending up in his coin pocket.

Authorities did not release the shooting victims' names.

The mice escaped the shooting unharmed.


Later.

Vacation Pics

Just thought I would post some pics of our post camp weekend vacation to Gatlinburg. There isn't a bigger tourist trap on the planet but I love it anyway. There is nothing better than sitting in a rocking chair watching the ducks float in the river or blowing an absurd amount of money on dinner. Enjoy.




Tonya Harding is just out of the picture.








My New Friends.












This didn't hurt as bad as you might think.









Ain't she pretty?

THANK YOU!!!

Just a quick thank you to all that worked at PBC. It truly was a super week. You all made my job as director go as smoothly as possible. It was obvious to me that God had his hand on everything at camp. We had perfect weather, the new things we tried like the hotdog lunch, dinner theater and registration in the upper room all seemed to go well. So I give a high five, hug or whatever you prefer to all staff and a few special thanks to some others who helped out.

Becky Brown - The BBP was fantastic, the music was awesome and moved me.

Tommy Brown - Where would I be without you? You keep my head straight and always seem to have a great answer to a problem. You are the man!

Stemy - Your a true servant. You have the most behind the scenes job and camp and pull it off with grace. Thank you.

Larry - The education materials were great, you tied the theme together even though in the beginning you weren't sure you could. Nothing but great comments. Also you have a fantastic hair cut.

DK - Dude, there aren't enough words.

Mike P. - Thank your for your help with the special assignment on Friday. You were a steady and experienced hand in a time of uncertainty and a true servant to our campers.

Curt - Quite frankly you did a great job letting me succeed and fail. I know it had to be hard to not be in charge for the first time in 15 years.

Mike Darling - You had big shoes to fill and you did a superb job. I know you were hurting early in the week but you fought a valiant fight. Worship was a joy to take part in.

Ted- I don't know if you were lying for my sake or if you were telling the truth, but thank you for the kind words. You make me smile.

To Brother Ben - Great job on games, dinner theater and fighting through a week of broken RV's and first time jitters.

Most of all, thank you God, without whom none of camp would be possible. I know that all of the work and planning our staff did was to his glory! God be praised!!!

I took some time off.

Ok, for the few people that actually check in on my blog, sorry. I took some time off as it got closer to camp. It seemed that every time I logged onto my computer there was 20 camp emails waiting on me. Priorities right? Anyway, now that camp has finished I will be back posting and hopefully next year learn to manage my time a little more.

A Declaration of Love

I do my best to avoid public restrooms as best as I can for obvious reasons. However, the other day I was forced into that undesirable situation. While there I noticed someone had taken the time to write on the wall "Jeff Loves Crystal". While I have seen graffiti before this one stuck with me. Only because I must question the love of two people that must be declared on the bathroom wall in the men's room at a Kmart. It just seems sad since Kmart has a more than adequate greeting card section. Good luck Jeff and Crystal, I hope your relationship doesn't get flushed down the pipes.
