Woodstock, GA Men's Conference

I spent this past weekend in Woodstock, GA at Woodstock Baptist Church.  This was painted live during our worship time. This conference truly was amazing and the underlying message that us men can never hear enough of is the VITAL importance of spending time with God daily and being accountable to other men. It was really encouraging being around 7,500 other men praising and learning about Christ together! I am so blesses to be at a church that believes this and supports it through
action.

I Love Our Men's Ministry!

Date Night - A New Venture

So Kacey and I are starting this new trend.  A monthly feast at some popular local restaurants.  We went to Midtown Cafe in downtown Nashville yesterday.   If you want to keep up with these, we are going to have a scoring system and at the end of the year we will see who wins.  Our rules are simple, enjoy a night out at least once a month, and enjoy a really fancy night out (Dress Up) at least once a quarter.
Here is the scale:  0 = Bad & 5 =  Great

We started with lobster ravioli.  We gave it a 4.5.
Next was the main course:
  Kacey had Crab cakes and broccoli.  She gave it a 4.8
  I had a 5oz beef filet with scallops and a twice baked potato.  Filet = 4.  Scallops = 4.5.  Potato = 4.5

Average for the meal = 4.46 on the Bell Scale.  Not too bad!  Thanks Midtown Cafe!

Last day of Deer Season

I was all excited about the last day of deer season today, especially after waiting 3 weeks since I had my surgery.  It was only about 22 degrees outside, but no fear, i have many camo clothes to wear.  Three of us went, Luke, Ryan and myself.  I sat with Ryan at the corner of my favorite field.  An hour or so went by an finally the deer came out.  We scoped them out for about 30-45 minutes waiting for that perfect shot.   I had my sights set on the buck - not a big one, but he was a six pointer.  I lined up my shot and fired.  Nothing.  I was shocked.  I took two more shots at him before he ran off, still nothing.  I took another shot at the biggest doe that was left, another miss.  I found myself in awe and without any bullets left.  Now, I don't want to gloat, but I am not a bad shot, earlier last year, I shot a skeet clay at 200 yards with no problem.  I told Ryan that something was wrong with my gun, I mean what else could it be?  We got packed up to hike out, and I had to shoot at some sort of target to verify I wasn't just missing.  I sat up a bottle of water, shot and missed.  It hit high.  I then aimed about a foot and a half below the bottle and barely hit the top of it.  So, there you have it.  My gun is out of sight!  Moral of the story:  Sight your gun in each season so you can enjoy the hunt!
