Me in 1960

My top 5 fair foods.

October could possibly be the most exciting time of the year for me. The weather is cooling down, the leaves are changing, football is on anytime between Thursday and Monday, and last but not least, the fair comes to town. Im not sure why I am so intriged by this annual event, but it is something I have looked forward to ever year, since I was a kid.
Back in Texas, the fair is a big deal. It is one of the biggest fairs in the world and schools even let us out for a fair day. It is a magical day of thrilling rides that could literally kill you, fun houses and freak shows, (my favorite is still the worlds fattest man back when I was 8 years old.) the worlds biggest ferris wheel, the annual O.U. Texas Red River shootout at the Cotton Bowl, and the pig races.
But nothing could top the delicious food that you stuff in your face from the time you get there to the time you leave.
I unfortunately dont get to attend the Texas State fair this year, but luckily there is good food here as well.
So with that said, these are the 5 foods that I am looking forward to having when the fair opens in 8 days.


5. A Bacon Maple Donut. It will make you sick, but its worth it.


4. Corn Dog. It is just tradition. Going to the fair without getting a corndog is like going to a baseball game and not getting a hot dog. Its just not the same.


3. Deep Fried Coke. Whats not to love?


2. Funnel Cake. This almost made #1. It was a toss up.


1. And the number one food I am looking forward to is........Wait for it......









GIANT TURKEY LEG. It is like a taste of Heaven in your mouth. My mouth is watering just thinking about the deliciousness that comes with this bird.

This will make you laugh

A New Goal

2 weeks ago, I accomplished something that I never thought I was going to do. I completed my 2nd half marathon. I completed the 1st one last September and was very proud of myself for taking on a difficult task and going through with it. For someone that is not a runner, a pretty good goal. I also remember saying to myself as I crossed the finish line, "As long as I live, I will never run again." A little dramatic, but at the time I thought it was a very truthful statement. As I was telling some friends about it, they decided to run it this year. I just said to them "good luck, I will cheer for you". Little did I know, I would be pressured into running along side them in this 2nd half marathon. Yes, I said pressured.
We trained, and we accomplished what we set out to do. (I would show a picture to prove it, but Disney wanted $19.95 for a small pic. Please take my word on it.)
The way I see things, Half Marathon + Half Marathon = Full Marathon. Simple math really. So what now.
Now, a new goal. It is something that is doable and definitely beneficial, but is it something that I can commit to? I think Im going to give it a shot.
An old high school friend just told me that her pastor challenged her to read the Bible in 90 days. I wished her good luck and told her to let me know how that goes.
After a few minutes of chatting, I realized this would be something I could accomplish. So starting tomorrow, I am going to read the Bible 12 pages a day for 3 months.
I thought running the half marathon was tough, but I already am wondering what I got myself into. This will truly be a test of dedication and perseverance.
Wish me luck!

Healer (Cancer Faked) Mike Guglielmucci

This story is unbelievable. I just recently posted aobut how I was inspired and encouraged by the lyrics in the new Hillsong song healer. I did not realize it was written by someone who was faking a terminal illness. To be quite honest, I was pretty disturbed with the whole story.
But it is great to see this pastor admit that he has another kind of illness and he is seaking help.
Search it on youtube to see the entire story.
