Current Walmart Deals!

Here are the current Walmart deals. Note though that each Walmart may decide to do their sales a bit differently across the country. I haven't been to the Lafayette Walmarts yet, so I can't vouch that all these deals are there...so just a little fyi!

Check out the deal on Progressive Soups!! I had only seen them 4/$5 (1.25 each), but here at Walmart they are on-sale for 3/$2 (0.67 each!). So they are free with the $1.10 coupon, with $0.47 overage! Also Honey Bunches of Oats are free with overage too!!

Here is the link to "Cent"sible Sawyer's blog, which has the deals posted! Enjoy!

You think this is easy?

I agree with Mark Z. that I wish I could dance like Turk on Scrubs, but I lack one thing that most white guys lack...rhythm. But it is still fun to watch and say, "Man, I wish I could do that!"


Here is a short clip of the dance Turk does to the song "Poison", which is right after Todd's horrible try-out for the air band! I hope you enjoy.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving all!



I am sitting here watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade with Amee. Later on we are going to my sister's house to eat our yearly fix of turkey, stuffing, and my mom's favorite noodle! We can't wait! Amee baked a pumpkin pie and also cooking a sweet potatoe dish later on this morning! We are very thankful for a lot of things, but the one thing we are especially thankful is Jesus Christ, and the forgiveness that comes through His shed blood on the cross! To God be the Glory!


God bless

A Farewell to "Lakewood"

For all you that may not know "Lakewood" (aka John Fegy), he is the guy who really helped me out in my planning of my Appalachian Trail Hike. He actually thru-hiked it in 2007 and put up some very informative videos of his hike. By the grace of God, he decided to return my email asking for any advice that would help in my pursuit to hike the AT in 2008. His advice and encouragement throughout my AT hike really helped me get to Harper's Ferry. Even though we still haven't met in person, I consider him a real good friend. Lord willing, someday we will get to hangout and trade somemore stories of the AT, and maybe even do some hiking on the AT! Who knows...

You maybe wondering why I am spot-lighting him, but he is actually heading off to Antartica to do some geology research and is leaving on Thanksgiving (of all days!). Have a great time "Lakewood" and don't forget to blog about it! Will be praying for you!

Finally, John is also a very talented musician, and I wanted to put up a couple of videos that actually turned me on to a couple artists (Derrick Webb & Damien Rice) that I had never heard before. You can find his "bathroom series" on You Tube. I hope you enjoy!

You just might get to Rock!

Well as you may or may not know, Rock Band 2 has the song "More than a Feeling" which is usually a fan favorite to play, since most people have heard of that song!

Well everytime I hear it, I cannot help of thinking of the Scrub episode on "Air Banding" in which Turk and his band sings and air bands that very song! Turk is awesome! This episode is a classic, and it even has a better scene with Turk...but that is another post!

Enjoy,

Public Chess Enemy #1

Well about a week ago, I finally hit a small milestone. My game with Public Chess Enemy #1 - Lee Morrison ended up in a draw! It wasn't an official win, but actually tying a guy with a chess rating in the 1700's...I was very happy! I am getting even closer to that 1st victory!

Christ isn't ashamed to call us brothers!

I have been going through a study in Hebrews, and am starting the application part of Chapter 13, which the first verse talks about that we should continue to love the brethern (fellow believers in Christ)!

The pastor directed us back to Hebrews chpt 2 and talked about verses 9-13, in which it talks about.... that Christ isn't ashamed to call us brothers.

Have you ever had a family member, or had one of your kids do something embarrasing in a public place to cause you to be ashamed to be associated with them? I know I have, but just think of all the times you have messed up and Christ is still wanting to call us brothers! What an amazing love to be modeled, eh!

It is interesting also that before the cross of Christ, that Christ called His followers His disciples, sheep or friends...but never His brethern. It wasn't till after the sin payment was paid for, and we were sanctified by the shed blood of Christ that He was able to call us His brother!

Note John 20:17, Jesus when He returned from the grave and made Himself known to Mary, He told her to go to My brethern and say to them, "I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God."

I never noticed that before and thought I would share it with you all! What an awesome God we serve!

Tonight is the career class annual bonfire at the Grays' house. It was calling for rain and possible snow. It did rain at the beginning, which caused us to eat indoors, but after awhile the sky cleared and the fire was lit.

The weather is cool and crisp, just right for the bonfire. We have quite the turn out. We have Eddie on the guitar and Jeff doing the ever famous hayrides around his property! It is something to experience!

Earlier Chris (Mr. NRA) had his guns out to shoot, like an AK-47, 12 guage shotgun, and numerous handguns. Very fun, and no one got hurt!

Well time to sing I'll fly away and some more praise & worship songs. God bless.
