You might be a redneck if...
As noted before the weekend we celebrated (belatedly) our 25th by going to a weekend marriage conference/workshop.
Well after a day of rassling with some heavy thoughts, deep emotions and working out some calcified marital joints so to speak -- Saturday night's "assignment" was to go on a date together. No, NO, don't throw me in that br'ar patch!
I knew we were close to Rancho Cucamonga had a plan in mind for just such a contingency. Cucamonga? You thinking what I'm thinking? I'll BET you are!
BASS PRO! Boy howdy, we done gone out on the town big time!
Hey, don't look at me that way. They had my wife's favorite on the menu in the restaurant out front -- macadamia crusted Mahi Mahi. Color me a hero. /heh
Call me a redneck. See if I care, but, never let it be said I don't know how to show my best gal a good time.

Unanswered prayer (Sunday humor)
The preacher's 5 year-old daughter noticed that her father Always paused and bowed his head for a moment before Starting his sermon. One day, she asked him why.
'Well, Honey,' he began, proud that his daughter was so Observant of his messages. 'I'm asking the Lord to help me Preach a good sermon.'
'So, how come He doesn't?' she asked.

Understanding Engineers
Been busy coupla' days. Baby's being born (and lost/stillborn) in our circle of fellowship (actually delivered unexpectedly right there in our guest's RV parked on our property -- firetruck, ambulances, sheriffs all lit up at night in our drive).
Heavy stuff like that. Trying to tend to those grieving and so on. Not much bandwidth left for posting.
Gotta hit the road early. Ya may ha' noticed we celebrated our 25th last week.
Now we're off for a marriage conference "A Weekend to Remember."
Let's see if we can save this thing... /heh
On a lighter note (and perhaps in poor taste), this being Friday...
What is the difference between Mechanical Engineers and Civil Engineers?
Mechanical Engineers build weapons, Civil Engineers build targets.
That's it for today.

Givers keep. Keepers lose.
These verses stuck with me from this morning's reading. One from Old Testament passage. The other from the New Testament.
Interesting how seemingly unrelated passages of scripture in a daily reading can parallel each other so strongly...
Proverbs 11:24
One give freely yet grows all the richer; Another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.
Luke 6:38
Give and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap.
What we keep we lose. What we give we keep.
