Today was Memorial Day, of course…a day in which we pause to honor those who have gone before us and died so that we all enjoy the freedoms we have today. I spent a good part of the early afternoon at the Springfield National Cemetery and snapped some photos of the gravesites and decorations that people had put up for Memorial Day. It was a sobering scene, especially seeing people who were directly related to those whose names were inscribed on the headstones honoring their memory. God bless the families of all who have died for freedom’s sake.
After that, I went to a couple places I needed to go, only in all of my brightness to find that they were closed for the holiday…so this sentence is an entire waste of blog space.
Tonight we all headed off to John and Benita’s place in Diggins (population 258!) and visited with them and some folks from church. It doesn’t get any better than watching the U.S. Paintball Championships on ESPN2, especially when the Portland Naughty Dogs won. Oh, and I saw a bunch of Amish people heading down that small road that passes by their house. The Amish are cool. If I ever get close to one I will shake their hand and thank them for conserving energy.
I am leaving tomorrow morning after a quick meeting with Pastor Pace. Wish me a safe trip, and throw a prayer out there for me!!!! God bless, it’s been fun here in the buckle of the Bible belt.
Only 178 more days until I move down here.
QUICK NEWS FLASH: Pat Robertson is at it YET AGAIN. This time, he’s claiming he leg pressed 2,000 pounds (for those of you who don’t know, that is one ton). When will this whacko televangelist leave public life. He makes legitimate Christianity look bad.
But Chris, that is only 500 Lbs per leg & he has 4 legs brotherman!
Donkey time has arrived again.
Pat Robertson once leg pressed 2000 pounds. Then he pulled of his mask to reveal that he was really Jack Bauer.
