At Least It Is Standing
Please forgive my absence in the blogger world. I apparently just can't seem to find the time to blog like I used to. I kinda have a lot to say. I am now debating whether or not to talk about it all now or keep you on the edge of your seat "until next time."
I want to recognize the wonderful friends I have. Paula and I moved to a new apartment about 3ish weeks ago. Last time we moved, Johnny and I moved a gorgeous buffet up a flight of stairs. This buffet is made of Pine and has a solid marble top. We just picked it up and went up the stairs. That is when I herniated a disk in my back. I think that is when Johnny also got his hernia.
Anyway, I was talking about my friends. I do not like to ask for help. With my back in the shape it is in, I found myself in need of help. Jason, Desmond, Stephen, Nathan, Tilden, Kathy, and Janis helped us move. My mother-in-law also helped. These peeps are fab. They are my homeslices!
Funny story. We have an occilating fan that has a remote. I have to have a fan to sleep. As Jason was bringing this fan in, he dropped it and busted the base. I wasn't mad. I figured I would just go out and buy a better fan, right.... WRONG! I learned that during this colder season, you cannot buy a fan anywhere, save ebay. What was I to do. I figured out what I could buy this time of year... a Christmas tree stand. Here is a picture of my redneck/ghetto fan fix-up job.
I know what you are thinking... YES INDEED! I even thought it...(like you didn't know)
I will holla at you all later.

Shocking! ... (no punn intended)
Paula found this on MSN News. I think The Salvation Army has found another reason to choose not to participate in baptism of water. Not that I disagree with the Army... I am just making a statement.
Texas pastor electrocuted during baptism
Accident occurred when 33-year-old reached for a microphone

WACO, Texas - A pastor performing a baptism
was electrocuted inside his church Sunday morning after adjusting a nearby microphone while standing in water, a church employee said.
The Rev. Kyle Lake, 33, was stepping into the baptistery as he reached out for the microphone, which produced an electric shock, said University Baptist Church community pastor Ben Dudley.
Water in a baptistery usually reaches above the waist, said Byron Weathersbee, interim university chaplain at Baylor University.
Lake was pronounced dead at Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center, nursing supervisor Pat Mahl said. The woman being baptized apparently had not stepped into the water and was not seriously injured.
Pastors at University Baptist Church routinely use a microphone during baptisms, said Jamie Dudley, the wife of Ben Dudley and a business administrator at the church.
"He was grabbing the microphone so everyone could hear," she said. "It's the only way you can be loud enough."
About 800 people attended the morning service, which was larger than normal because it was homecoming weekend at nearby Baylor University, Dudley said.
Lake had been at the church for nine years, the last seven as pastor. He had a wife, Jennifer, a 5-year-old daughter and two 3-year-old sons.
At a remembrance attended by about 1,000 people Sunday night at First Baptist Church, Ben Dudley told the UBC congregation that they would move forward as a church.
"I don't know how, when, why, where or what's going to happen, but we will continue as a church in the community because that is what Kyle would have wanted," he said.
