Tornado's Poster Child

The next generation of foosers are getting a head start. Billy Pappas watch out!!! Maylon DePaw is getting started at the ripe age of 1. He has already perfected his dad's famous "Gunslinger" shot. Paul is training him to be a relentless foosball sniper. Foosworld BEWARE!!!!

The weather!!!!! GRRRR!

I was supposed to leave for Omaha today. Well, I actually did leave. But then I got a call telling me we would have to reschedule. I-80 was solid ice in several areas. I'm kinda bummed, I was looking forward to a trip for once. I guess I'll make a snowman. PS. This 55" of snow we have had, isn't helping me get back on the Moto-X track.

Foosball tonight!!!!!

Tonight is our weekly foosball tournament. There should be a good turn out! I think like 6 teams.....so when I win....mo money.LOL I'm pretty stoked though, we have about 4 new players on the scene. J2, Austin, Jake, K-RY, maybe even Marcus. Basically, the church will soon be able to have a foosball league of its own. Sweet!

STOP THE NONSENSE!!!!!!

Ok...This is in response to the comments that I have received on my "To Breed or not to Breed". Basically, you are all telling me things that I am fully aware of, but thank you for being concerned. I have been to shelters, I stop by frequently. I totally understand where you are coming from...it sucks...I feel terrible for the dogs there. I always encourage people to get a dog from a shelter if they can. I most definitely am not looking to make a large profit breeding. The last litter we did before the female was killed, I made nothing, I just enjoyed helping sell the dogs to GOOD HOMES! The guy who owned the female didn't really make much. But I will say, the comment, responsible breeders are always in the whole after a litter, are you serious? That is some serious B.S. Please consider my motives? HUH? I'm thinking of having one or two more litters tops, because I have a lot of people who want dogs specifically from my male. Sorry for being such a terrible person. Next time I want a lecture on spaying and neutering......I'll watch the price is right!!!!

To breed or not to breed?

I'm faced with a decision. For starters, I love animals. I would like to say i like animals more than people, but that wouldn't be very nice, so I won't. Here's the deal, I've been breeding my Australian Cattle Dog, Dingo, to a suitable, compatible, girlfriend of his named Cinnamon. She is a Red Australian Cattle Dog as well. Here is the bad news, she was recently hit by a car, and didn't make it. (Moment of Silence) So, I'm now trying to find a new "girlfriend" for Dingo. I'm hoping to find someone who has a female they want Dingo to bread to. What I don't really want to do is get a puppy, raise it, and do the breeding all here at my house. But, I feel like that might happen. Cattle Dogs aren't the most profitable dog on the market.(Unlike the useless fluffy cuddle bugs Josiah breads)JK. So, what do I do?

where is your focus?

Sometimes I feel like being a Christian doesn't make me happy.......before you call Pastor Dan or Justin, listen.....there is a reason for this. It's because in those times, I'm not being a real Christian(Christ follower). Its because in those times, I'm not seeking Christ first in my life. In those times my soul is not at peace. It is at battle with whatever I'm making my god at that time. See, I've given my self to Jesus, as Pastor Dan has said, Christ paid for me, He owns me, His blood paid the price, and I have accepted Him as my Lord and Saviour. So when I'm not 100% sold out for Christ, deep down inside of me, my soul, my heart knows that there is something wrong, Jesus knows there is something wrong. The end result, I'm unhappy, I'm not at peace. So this results in the roller coaster ride some people call Christianity. BUT WAIT.....this is not the unhappy life Jesus wants for us!!! Jesus does not want us to worry.(Matthew6:24-34) If we seek him first in all things, he will provide and we will be happy. So when I feel like being a Christan isn't making me happy, I know now that being a Christian isn't ever about me. And as soon as my focus goes from God to me, I won't be happy, and I need to look up for my answers, and put my faith back in God.

I wrote this because I have a feeling I'm not the only person that gets this way. I hope that it helps you if you do. Please comment back to let me know what you think. That is why this page is called work in progress. We are all learning and growing everyday....and will always be a work in progress.
