And They Wakeboarded Happily Ever After
For some reason I figured that as soon as I got up on a wakeboard I would be able to do some tricks. I tried a butterslide and you can watch the aftermath yourself!

If you don't have something nice to say...
I have found that most of society is OUT TO CRUSH YOUR DREAMS!!!
Well, I might be exaggerating...a little.
In all seriousness, why do people insist on telling you why your plans will not work? Yesterday I was talking to some women about having children. I told them that I would like to have 4 or 5 and the immediate response is "you get back to me when you have had your first and lets see what tune you will be singing then." This happens all the time to me on many different subjects as I am sure that it has happened to you.
People always seem to want to tell me what I will and will not like. STOP TELLING ME WHAT I WANT!!!! That is why the phrase goes "I want..." NOT "what do you think I will like best?"
I seem to be angry as I write this but I am not. I am frustrated with individuals who think that they have the right to make others feel like their dreams are inferior or won't work. I am sad to say that I am sure that I have done this to others as well. We all need to watch what we say when we are listening to someones dreams... otherwise they will never share with us again!

Lies Women Believe
Some friends and I started a small group that gets together once a week. We are currently going through the book
and it has been awesome so far. God is revealing such incredible stuff to all of us that we did not know about ourselves. We put this group together so as to have a safe place to go with our "junk," get prayer and to encourage each other to be more intimate with the Lord by being more intimate with each other.
The first week we started I considered using a highlighter to mark the things that really stood out to me.... I very quickly realized that this would be a futile cause for I would have highlighted the whole chapter.
There is a challenge at the beginning of the book to question everything that you think/do with
1. Is that true?
2. If it is not do I live like it is true?
We have deceived ourselves into believing lies that we don't even realize are lies. It is easy to think "no I don't have any issues with being deceived." Deception is just that.... you don't realize you have been lying to yourself. This book encourages you to search your heart on different issues in which people are deceived.
I would suggest this book to anyone... most of the stuff I have read applies to men as well!
Even if you don't ever read this book I challenge you to ask yourself "Is that true?" as often as possible. Make sure that your thoughts are of the Lord and don't let Satan slip lies into your head!!!!

Hi Ho Hi Ho It's Off To Work I Go!
I posted several times about how much I struggled with not being able to find a job so I figured that I would joyfully proclaim that I have a job now... or maybe a yob... it might be a soft "j."

Capture the Flag..... missed it by that much!
I am not sure that there is much to be said other than that I did not retrieve the flag from enemy territory after a very valiant effort if I do say so myself!!!!

Easter
Yesterday was Easter and we had a sunrise service in the back pasture with the Baileys, Ezzells, Griggs, Pullens and my mom. It was beautiful but... COLD! It was also wet. The Baileys and Ezzells showed up in Easter Sunday dress such as sandals and thin flowing dresses. We all wrapped in blankets and shivered as we worshipped. We decided that next year we are definitely going to mow beforehand and also build a fire.
After that we all went in and had a huge breakfast together. I love having such a close "family." I, unfortunately, went back to bed at 8:30 because I had a very bad headache. Later we did the leavened bread hunt as we have done every year since I can remember. The only difference was that adults did not participate. This is the first year that I have not "hunted." It was kind of sad but I am sure that we will do it again in years to come. Things are a little crazy right now so Easter was a little thrown together this year.

Conversation? with Mags
"Mags you need to eat your food fast. If you don't finish by the time Nana gets here you don't get to go to the office!"
"Nonnie, everyone calls me a slow po. They all say that I am just a slow po at everything. I am a slow po at eating, a slow po at playing.... I am just a slow po"
"You are not a slow 'poke' Mags"
"It's not my fault... everyone just attracts me!!!"
"Everyone 'distracts' you?"
"Yeah"
"I am sorry dude but try to finish quick!"
