A Forest Fire, and other updates...

Sat, 7 Mar 2009 16:09:00 -0600

Hello everyone! It's been a long while since I last posted but anyway I'll start off with what has been going on. On thursday while we were burning brush outside, I was carrying a shovel full of flaming coals to help start one of the piles on fire, while I was walking down a hill, a couple of the coals fell off of the shovel and into some leaves near the forest. A while later we noticed it and that a fire had been started by the coals, my dad said for us to quickly put it out, and while we were trying to stop the fire from spreading, a huge gust of wind picked up some of the flames and carried them deeper into the woods! We quickly tried to gather some tools and stuff to help put out the fire, also my mom ran inside to look for the fire extinguisher, but she couldn't find it anywhere! By then the fire had gotten really deep and was getting out of hand. My dad quickly called the Fire Department while we still tried to do all we could to put the fire out. Finally, we all started gathering bucket fulls of water, and thank the Lord for those and all of us working together, because we were able to hold the fire off long enough in time for the Fire Department to come and help. The fire continued to get deeper into the forest, but just before it crossed a path into another part of the forest that was packed full of deadwood, we were able to put the fire out. Praise the Lord!!! It was a close call, but nobody got hurt, thank the Lord. Anyway, today on the seventh of March we succesfully burned another pile of brush and now I'm pretty tired, and if you asked me how I feel right now, I'd have to say I'm firelogged. Well, until next time, God Bless!

The Big Update.

Sun, 1 Jun 2008 02:55:00 -0500

A whole lot has happened since I last posted, sorry for not posting in a while. Anyway, two months ago in April, (April 12th to be exact) My Dad, Sister Amanda, and some of our friends the Williams went to a Brad Scott lecture about how God designed DNA and the Hebrew language, it was very interesting. Then on the 21st of April we went to a Passover at the William's house. We also did an Exodus play there!

After all that Boppa came over for some of the day. He brought barbecue and some other things like venison. Then at the end of April, my friend Andrew came over. He stayed the night, and we made a movie, it was a lot of fun! Now in May on the 29th we celebrated Mary and Rachel's birthday! Grandmother and Granddaddy came over and we had a cook out.

Well, thats pretty much all thats happened in a while, we have been very, very busy lately, but God has blessed us very much. And we thank Him and his Son Jesus Christ. Alright then, until next time!

The Raquetball Tournament...

Thu, 14 Feb 2008 17:46:00 -0600

Last Saturday on the Ninth my Dad, brother David and I went to our Dad's Raquetball tournament in Tuscaloosa, we had a great time!. When we arrived there we ate inside the tournament building and then David and I watched our Dad play. He won his first game, and lost his second We still had a fun time. After the game we drove around and walked around the Bryant-Denny Stadium. The Stadium was locked up and David had hoped it was open because he had brought his football helmet and ball. We went back to the Raquetball building and ate some more there, then we headed on back home. Well, we had a really good time there and after all that, on the 13th our friend John Y came over. He stayed for lunch and some tea. And then my Mom, Dad and John Y went to a restaurant and we had chicken nuggets and then he left. Well, it's all been nice here and God has helped us through it all! So, Until next time!

Then I turned on a movie for him called "Thunderhead Son of Flicka" and he watched it all the way through (He likes it and he also likes Horses). Then everyone came home and we had Sonic and I helped unload the car. And now here I am typing this down! Well, anyway thats all that happened, and until next time.
