Stonebridge Golf Tournament

Approaching the green and near the sand traps late in the afternoon. When we got to the carts, vendors had supplied a total of 3 sleeves of balls. (9) total, which is exactly how many balls I lost over the course of the day in the trees, water, and ones I just couldn't find. Still my best round so far, practicing does help, and the weather conditions play a major role in determining how much BC powder I need afterward. This time, 2 paks.

WWE

With the backup during security check-in, you would have thought (3)6 Mofia was in town and they were doing cavity searches for weapons. The gallery was actually much more tame than I had anticipated. The intros are obviously where all the excitement is and they proved to be worth the price of admission. The Fedex Forum sold us seats that were actually closed for the WWE event because we probably would have caught on fire had we sat there. Event staff moved us and about 50 others to our final destination which were not great seats but we did get a good view of the entrances. The prices for our tickets were "reasonable" and they had a good deal on an event shirt specifically for the night. 20 bucks so we got one. 2 hot dogs and a no graphics souvenir cup still costs $20 at FedEx forum.

New video to the right. After an intro like this, the match itself is pretty boring.

Labor Day - Full Grill

Turning in the spoodle

A spoodle is the name they give to the spoon/laddle that you dip the sauce out of and apply it to the crust.

Its done! Several 100 deliveries, several 1000 miles, and several bills paid off.

We have ordered some of the tools Dave Ramsey has online, including budgeting software and a kid's program.

Financial Peace University is next on the list at church starting in a couple of weeks.

Several upcoming events that kick off being free at nights and weekends now:

Delta Fair - Argicenter
WWE - FedEx Forum
Golf Tournament - Stonebridge (hopefully 2 trips to drive range beforehand)
Mid South Air Show - Blue Angels Millington

I'm looking forward to posting some captured moments from each.

Several Storms

And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. Mark 4: 39 (NIV)

This familiar story has new meaning to me. It's more personal. God has allowed several storms to come upon me at one time in order to get my attention and focus on Him. He allowed the heat to get turned up pretty high on one issue. With obedience and faith, and His timing, it was as if He spoke to my storms in a firm voice and said "Okay, that's enough, PEACE, be still"

There is no other feeling like when God calms your storm when it has been crashing down on you, and you know it is Him taking care of you.

At the shop

This looked a lot better when I was taking a picture of it. It kind of looks likes a plate of garbage on screen.

Things I've learned in 2 weeks (66 hours)

1) Dustinator - a flour like corn meal substance used to spread the dough out and gets all over everything in the shop

2) Don't judge a tip by the curb appeal of the destination

3) If you get a bad pizza, you can probably narrow it down to one issue - temperature

4) The city has many more subdivisions than I thought it did

5) It takes the same amount of time to cook anything we offer:
pizza, breadsticks, desert pizza, chicken strips, hot wings, cheesesticks

6) Truck drivers at the terminal are consistently the best tippers.

"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." NKJV

I find that the same scripture speaks to me differently and different times. Today it brings peace, focus, and some new found humor.
