The past 5 days i have: canoed about 5 miles on a river…twice, caught 47 or more fish, swam, painted war stripes on myself with mud, body slammed Eli and Silas in the water (their war stripes washed off), taught on 24/7 prayer to missionaries from… around the world, slept about 10 hours, purchased school supplies for E and S, left a sack of fish carcasses on Nate Wood’s doorstep. Let me expound on the sack of fish carcasses a little more. We went fishing and caught (and kept) a bunch of fish because Nate wanted to have a fish fry BUT he did not want to clean any of the fish. I agreed to clean the fish if he would cook them so we had a deal. The night we got home from fishing i cleaned fish in my backyard until dark but did not have time to clean them all. The next day I gave Nate a nice big bag of fillets and asked him to take the rest of the fish and either give them away or clean them (or something) but he would not take them and I was not going to have time to deal with them. Soooo, the story goes that Buzz caught on to what was happening and said “I will clean the fish” , which he did. So when I got home from IHOP about 7 pm on Monday night the bag of fish carcasses was in my back yard waiting to be thrown away. I waited until dark then took the bag (now stinking) to Nate’s house and left it on his doorstep, then I knocked real loud on his door and ran and jumped in the car and sped away. Juvenile i know, but it sure was fun.
Here it is Friday afternoon and another prayer meeting. Maybe this week will be as crazy as last week…who knows?
