I Could Get Used to This

Today we had our "Goal Day" at church. We each had a goal to invite someone. After service we had a big meal and then gathered together at 12:30 for a short devo. By doing that we cancelled church tonight. I really enjoyed coming home and watching football and nascar on TV. It was even nice not having to get up to put my clothes back on for 5:00 service. I wish we did this more often. Even once a month would be nice (hint, hint).

I believe "Goal Day" was a success. We had about 48 more people than normal (and this was with 13 of our regulars traveling). I know we will have a few of these visitors back. One man and woman told me they were so glad they were invited.

I have two little girls, 5 & 3. When the youngest one went to say her supper prayer she said she was going to say the Joey prayer. Joey is a member at our church that just left for Iraq. It was so cute to hear her ask God to watch over him. I think we could all learn something from listening to children pray. They are not in a hurry, they are honest, they ask, and they remember to say their prayer more than I do.

Will finish up deer season this week. I still haven't gotten one, I am too picky. I have another friend coming in the next 2 days to hunt. If I get him a big one I may go into the guiding business.

Duck season opens Thursday morn. We have no water, but we do have a pump. The problem is that it will cost each of us $100 to pump water. To me there is no question. We've already paid our lease and this will be wasted if we don't spend another $100 to get some water. You can't duck hunt without water.
