I got home late afternoon, maybe 5:30 pm. It had been a long 6 days in the Pacifc Northwest and I was pretty worn out. I opened the door to my house and a little 3 ft tall 6 year old ran full speed and barreled me as I came in the door. I then was pounced on by a 9 year old while the queen of the castle was standing close by with a big grin; “Daddy’s home, Daddy’s home” bounced off the walls. This is what it’s like when a Moseley comes home from a trip…it is awesome!
So the boys ran off to get their swim shorts on cause aparently we were going swimming and I finally got to hug and kiss my bride, the beautiful Allison. Well, they were back all to soon and off we went to the pool we had set up in the back yard. The water felt good due to the warm weather the Midwest was experiencing the past few weeks. I know what you are thinking about now, “Wow, this guys life sounds AMAZING! ” Yes, my life is amazing but this story is about to take a little dive southbound. The water was nice and as I was body slamming a kid in the water when I suddenly noticed that something was missing. I asked Eli ” Have you seen my lawn mower ” ? ” No sir “. I got out of the pool with a little queazy feeling in my stomach. Opening the door, “Allison, did somebody borrow my mower “? “No, I don’t think so “. I walked around the yard for a minute thinking that I may have been missing it, maybe it was hiding somewhere. But, the harder I looked the more discouraged I got. As it seems someone had come in my backyard and taken my John Deere GS30 36 inch cut walk behing lawn mower. Then I noticed that my weedeater AND push mower were gone also. Now I was mad.
Items taken :
1 John Deere GS30 36inch cut commercial walk behind mower and sulky
1 Stihl weedeater
1 Briggs and Stratton push mower
I bought that weedeater in 1999 from a lawn place in Tallahassee. I bought the John Deere in 2004 from a lawn place in Tallahassee and the push mower came with the house. Go figure…you go and preach the Word of God, minister to a bunch of people and spread the Good News of Jesus and come home to a stolen mower and a bunch of tall grass. What gives? Was it worth it? Heck yes it was worth it. The mowers are stuff…souls are real and will really end up in either Heaven or Hell. If but only one person received Jesus it would be worth all the John Deere’s in Nebraska ( and then a bunch more).
Whoever has my Deere I pray you will get convicted and bring her home. My grass is in need of a little trim job.
