We made it!


It's Hot Hot HOT!!! We are here in the land of nowhere. Shell Buff, Ga. Check it out on a map. It is in the middle of the big oak tree and the pines. LOL :) No I am not joking it is. Anyway some week the 1st week was. I was sick all week with some bug and boy I hope that was the last for a long time. I went to training and learned all about the really cool high-tech stuff Burke Co Schools have. So a small poor town the schools here have some really neat things. Lets not forget to say all the schools look new too. Anyway besides that. I have been spending some time working on the farm. Let me just say it hard work and boy I forgot how hot it is here in the summer. The bad thing is right now it is taking me longer to get small things done, due to no one working on the farm for over a year now. Cleaning the leaves have taken me most of this week trying to get them cleaned up so you can see the good old Ga. moss that runs the ground. I also forgot how big the bugs are here. some days before leaving the house I feel like caking my self in "OFF Spray". But I once learned that it seems to bring more bugs out then without it. So I just go without. Oh well Internet is bad so I can't post long. I will try to post more when we get better internet or we take the laptop up to town.

The Last Post!

Well I can't say that the "Last Post" at Calvary is the best. Once again Calvary seems to have done it again. So we are to be spending our last night with the all the kids and Philip and Lucy. As it is Philips and one of the boys birthdays today and our last night with everyone. Have a little party and have time to say our good byes, WRONG!!! We spend it with some church we don't know who we will have to be all smiles about Calvary Home and Thank them for money we never even see. But again this is how Calvary Home works. Their communication sucks! But the great news is it is the last time we have to "fake it" and put on a show. In other news Debbie has started WeightWatchers and seems to be enjoying it. I can't wait till I get to go back on it come this next week. The 1st thing we will be doing once we get to the farm is shopping. And yes there will be no buying of hotdogs and crap like that. YAYA!!! All our stuff is in boxes or bags and we are really to load the Uhaul truck 1st thing in the morning. Now the thing that gets me is I ordered for this truck last week and Uhaul tells me I won't know where to pick up the truck or know the time to pick up until today. So sitting in church this morning I get a call from them saying I can pick up my truck at 11:00 AM in Anderson. Well where I am to pick is fine but 11:00 AM is not okay with me. So after leaving church and spending an hour on the phone talking with 3 different people, I hope I can get it at 9:00AM. I never really got a 100% feeling that they understood me. Lets prayer and hope for the best!?! Oh well, As I am not going to be getting much of a nap today I must go rest before this church gets here.
Like always,

Check out this vimeo I found today, it is really funny:

~Website Updated~

I was looking over some other blogs I today and came across one that made me think.
Barefoot Community Church (in North Myrtle Beach, SC!) has created quite a buzz with their current series "Exposed Pastor." The premise is that the pastor and his family have agreed to live their lives before cameras for over approximately 15 hours daily to share the authenticity of the Christian life with those who don't know Christ. I spent some time in there my self and found it to be a neat project. Check it out! After spending time talking with both the Clay and his wife they seem to a great family. Like everyone else, I think that is the main point is that they are just that, just like everyone else. The hour spent watching them was main just in there car as they were going home from there meeting.
In other news today, I got my ministry website back up. It has been down for some time but I opened it back up and updated it. check it out and be sure to sign the guest book. I will try to keep the site updated this time. I am kinda bad about that.
