I'm going to take you to a place that very few people have gone. A place where time and space and the ability to breath clearly have gone the way of the Doodo bird! Several kids and myself spent the past weekend in Henderson, TN for the RUSH (Reaching Unlimited Spiritual Heights) Youth Rally at Freed-Hardeman University. The events of this past weekend are beyond compare and I know that I can't in my own words fully describe what happened, but I will let you in on one small story!
Have you ever said something that was just plain stupid! Without even realizing it, the words that are coming out of your mouth insult a person or persons just terribly! While most of us have at least experienced this a couple of times, some of us are constant abusers of our own stupidity!
One such instance happened this weekend to Patrick. In one instance, not only did he insult one of the girls (name being left out to protect the innocent) but also showed his absolute ignorance in dealing with the opposite sex!
Patrick, here is some advice: NEVER EVER EVER TALK ABOUT ANYTHING THAT RELATES TO THE SIZE OF A WOMAN'S CLOTHING OR HER SIZE IN GENERAL! Now that we are all up to date, I wish to console Patrick in this moment!
From all the men who have lived before me and who will come after me: Patrick, pay attention next time! Girls, in general are sensitive to their weight and size. And any comment like "Obviously you're not a small!" would fall in direct conflict to a girl's opinion of herself!
Please for the sake of "male"-kind, don't ever get caught saying something like that again! It only makes all of us look stupid!

Trouble at the Office Depot!
Let me take each of you back to a time when shopping at "The Office Depot" was fundamentally innocent and harmless. That time was before Wednesday, August 30. It was a typical Wednesday; hot, muggy, and beautiful.
That afternoon, I picked up Marcey and Stephanie from school. We proceeded to meet Ashley at "The Office Depot" in Evansville. We were all going there with the mission of buying a new digital camera for the church. Upon arrival, the girls and I went to the camera section. After some careful consideration, I was almost convinced to buy this Kodak camera. I wanted to check out some of the features. One such feature was the action setting.
I asked Marcey to run towards me so that I might see the full affect! However, Marcey (in her infinite wisdom) decided to run towards me and not stop! As she lowered her shoulder and through all 98 pounds of her weight into me I fell back! The only thing that saved me from a sure fall was the giant shelf full of office supplies!
When all was collected and a careful evaluation of the incident was taken, I had shoved that shelf a good 6 inches. The look we recieved from "The Office Depot" employee was piercing! I quickly decided that we needed to leave, so I grabed the ticket for the camera, paid the lady at the register, and left as soon as possible!
For those of you reading this blog, I offer you some quick advice: Never go shopping with Marcey! Never ask Marcey to run at you! Never "hack off" an employee of "THE OFFICE DEPOT!"
