It has been a while since I actually looked at this thing. Life has been crazy busy. Is anybody going to homecoming? I am trying to come with the wife and kiddies. Speaking of which, my girls are getting big. One of them is starting to walk. This sounds like it would be fun and exciting, but truthfully is scares the crap out of me. If she walks she can fall harder. All in all parenting is still sweet.
So how about them vikings? It is going to be a long year.
I got a funny story for you all. It happened to so of us Crown Alumni at a little thing called the NOWF. This is the conference for all the new kids on the block of the alliance. So as you all probably know the new president is a certain man named Benedict. This would seem to be a sweet setup to have the president of the denomination no you by name. However, it can come back to bite you when you are in the act of skipping a required meeting. Robbie, Drew, Matt Monson (with 2 teeth), Chet, and myself were all at this NOWF. We were having a less then stellar time so we decided to skip the last meeting scheduled for that day. We were walking back to our rooms talking about how funny it would be to walk into the lobby of our building and find Dr. B standing there. As we came up to the lobby our biggest fears became reality and there was Dr. B. We really did not think it would matter or that he would even notice, because he was busy greeting missionaries. We thought we could slip right past him. We were wrong. As we walked into the room trying to be as quiet as possible, he looked straight at us and then down at his watch. He began to publically remind us that it was not time for us to be back and he kept hinting that we should return to the session. Being called out by the new man in charge has a way of freezing you. We all were speachless and looked away as we just kept walking. He called out one of us by name(who shall remain annonymous) who then proceeded to respond back in a lie about coming back for a change of close. We just kept walking as he kept up his public reminder of our inability to know the time. As we got on the elevator there was a group time of freaking out. We all thought we had just transfered to the Evangelical Free Church. What a way to start ministry. In the dog house of the president. until next time

It wasn't a burn, but more of a zinger!
