An Ear of Corn

This had to be the biggest ear of corn I have ever saw... I almost wrecked when I saw it as it appeared to be eating this house. I got to thinking about genetic engineering, remember the attack of the Giant Tomoatoes? Well this is the attack of the 50 foot tall ear of corn.

That is a bunch of water, in Pensacola Bay. Crazy thing about this, we were on a bridge to go the Hemmingways restaurant, and had to cross about a mile and half section of water to get back to the mainland. And about halfway across from both sides there are these unfinished bridges. They do not connect as they stop probably a half mile from each other but they parralel the main roadway most of the way. It is a fishing bridge. Now I started thinking, what would be more practical? Making a seperate bridge to fish off of, or expanding the original bridge to make a fishing lane? I would think one bridge would be cheaper than two... Sometimes we are like that in life, we complicate things more than they need to be. Just remember, should the Lord tarry, no one gets out of this life alive... Be Blessed!

Must be Canadians, eh?

I am in beautiful Pensacola, Florida today. Got to go eat at Hemmingway's on Pensacola Beach. You know, Earnest Hemmingway's place... anyway, the waves were rolling, the the wind was blowing and I would say it is in the high 70's and there were people in bathing suits on the beach. As we were looking out the window eating lunch, I thought, they must be from Canada!! Too chilly and too windy for my taste. They would probably try to roll me back into the water anyway thinking I had beached myself.
A shout out to all our serving military and to all that have served. Pensacola is a hot bed of Naval Activity, on my flight down I sat next to a young Marine, had two young marines directly behind me and a couple across the aisle. Weren't nobody taking over our plane I will tell you. Although I did kind of realize that I am so far out of touch half the stuff they were talking about I could not understand. What I did understand is that Marines on leave do some pretty crazy stuff and that I am too old to do crazy stuff anymore!!
Heading to Minnesota, where there are no Ts and everything has a D in it.

Somtimes...

I wonder about random thoughts...
Roller Coasters, why do they not have vomit shields on them? You know we have all been there where we get sat next to a youngster who hasn't taken Dramamine and you just know that you are going to get thrown up on.

Will we have cars in heaven? I mean I really want a '63 Impala convertible, and will GOD allow burnouts on the streets of gold?

When the rapture takes place, what will happen to all the stuff that we leave behind? Will it be a free for all to come and get out possesions or can we leave a "rapture will"? To my unsaved cousin Vinny, I leave my stamp collection and my 78 Pacer.

Can you move when you get to heaven? What if you don't care for your neighbors? Can you go to GOD and request a different mansion if your neighbor is playing loud worship music all the time or doesn't keep his yard mowed.

Have you seen the commericals we have on TV now days? It is embarrasing enough when you have to discuss with your kids what Viagra does and what ED means. But now there is this new stuff that, well, uhmmm, let's see, how do I say this? This new stuff that makes your "ego" bigger. Savvy? So what's next? Get taller pills?

Twitter? I used to get into trouble in school because I would twitter with my thumbs. Who knew I was about 20 years ahead of the times.

I deleted my Facebook account on accident. So all these new friends who used to be old friends, do they show up as new friends or as old friends? Can I count them twice? And is it bad to not add friends that turned out not to be friends in the first place when I reset my friends? And do I have to be everybody's friend. Where is the button that you hit that says, "I really do not like you and don't want to be your friend, so there!" ?

Why can't a major leauge pitcher throw a strike when he really needs it? It is only 60'-6" to the plate and you do it for a living? Come on, throw that meatball down the middle!!

If Baseball is 90% mental, why wasn't Einstien an all star?

Rain rain go away

Come again some other day. Remember that childhood rhyme? Well I am saying it today. We are in a perpetual flood for the last couple of weeks. It has rained almost every day and I am not talking a little bit. But do you know what?
The rain sure does make all the plants grow very nicely. The old dead bushes, seem to sprout up with renewed green. The trees seem to just glow, and the flowers, well they glisten in the morning.
Life is like that, we go through storms in our lives, but in the midst of the storms we grow stronger, we sprout up and sometimes we glisten with the washing that comes with the storm.
So lift up your heads, drink in the storms, for sunshine will surely come!
