Would you inform your pastor his fly is open?

In church one sunday morning, my pastor stands beside me and is bending down to tie a shoe. I notice His fly open. I didn’t say anything but listened “or tried to the message. Would you have told him?

I sent this to my ex to give to our daughter before she leaves for church camp. do you think they’ll like it.

O’ my gosh !!
has it been ten years
seems like yesterday
buying booties at Sears

I watched you being born
you were quite the show
I could not believe
how fast you would grow

you had two small hands
and two tiny feet
they’re like your mom’s
mine’s as big as a street

you have brains and charm
infinite good looks
believe in yourself
you can write library books

you have the power
to do as you wish
fly high like an eagle
and swim like a fish

dream of your future
work hard everyday
when finished working
go outside and play

be anything you want
stand out in a crowd
be true to yourself
love God, make us proud

be kind to others
yourself be true
you can do anything
just trust in you

your mom and me
you have our love
love yourself
and God above

I pray for you
my daughter Janea
have fun at camp
and a happy birthday.

Love dad

Have you ever embarrassed yourself at a dinner?

We had a potluck dinner today at our church.

I was holding this styrofoam plate (the kind that has all those compartments in it) and was helping myself to a bit of salad. Paying more attention to what my grandkids might be doing, rather than what I was doing.

This woman started yelling at me “Set your plate down on the table! Set your plate down! Set your plate on the table!” I looked at my plate. Flames were coming up from the upper right corner. Little black ashes flying everywhere.

Apparently, I’d held the plate over a lit candle in the centerpiece. Dang!

So then, this woman loudly calls down to the beginning of the food line, “Can we have a new plate here? Someone has gone and set her plate afire down here.” Nothing like calling the entire congregation’s attention to my boo boo.

Then my husband accidentally dipped his tie into the soup. Our grandkids laughed so hard at the pair of us. You can’t take us anywhere, I guess.

Have you done anything like this?
Zinnia, the fire went out when I set the plate on the table. The lady who’d yelled out for another plate then set the new plate under the one I’d half destroyed.

And the little black bits of soot went around and around for several minutes.

The Musky Chronicles Trailer: Fly Fishing For Musky

Pursuing muskies with flies has become a lifestyle for us here in the northwoods, and weve developed a close-knit tribe of fishing brothers as a result. The Musky Chronicles is a very fitting testament to a season of putting it all together and bringing our game to another level, and not only did he make sure that he got it done, but our boy Lee Church did it with style and all while paying homage to the legendary anglers that blazed the trail.
