Update on trying to score points...

Here is tip number two when trying to score points, for all of those out there who still feel the need to keep track...

When your date admits she (or he, as the case may apply) has no patience, don't make whipped cream with a drill...

Thats right, yours truly decided that it would be fun to make whipped cream. So I got out my drill (it was clean...) and put the beater attachment on the end. I then proceeded to mix

and mix and mix and mix.

Right about minute five, steph pulls out her camera phone, and takes a picture, and posts to facebook...

meanwhile, the mix goes on...

four minutes later, I tell her its almosts done...

and the mixing goes on..

Two minutes later, I break down, and get out the actual mixer...

it was done a minute later...

It tasted really good, and I think thats all that matters... Sometimes quality takes time...


Good luck getting the redneck out of me. =)

When trying to score points...

I have learned something that will better my life. So, as a good natured person, I feel the need to share it.

Crisco goes bad.

You read it right. Apparently, crisco goes bad. Think about it. Crisco is 100% fat. I didn't know that fat could go bad. Does that mean that all the fat on your body will eventually melt, as long as you dont add to it?

So, because Crisco goes bad, I feel the need to share this next. When trying to score points with your girlfriend (or boyfriend for you females out there), do not try to make cookies with old crisco.

Old is a relative term, but I have found out that the shelf life is somewhere under 4 years...

I guess its time

Well, in the world of myspace and facebook, there are details about you.. Your birthday, your race, your sexual preference (dont blame me, my head just popped out with that one)...

So, I guess its time for my blog world (all six of you that read this) to know..

I have found a girl to put up with me... Not only does she put up with, I rather think she enjoys my company (go figure!!)

I have caught stephanie ridgeway in my sails, and am now enjoying the trip that it is taking us on...

This is my notice that my "profile" on blogger has changed...

And the bad puns go on...

Reliance on God

You know, God has an interesting way of coming through in the clutch for you. I have been praying for this situation for over a year. Finally, within the past month, I end up hitting what I thought was a single (a small victory in a long game)

Well, as time passes, I look back on that single, and think, "maybe this is actually a double."

Well, in the past week, since things have progressed so well, "maybe I have hit a triple or a home run". You see, when I was playing baseball as a kid, I never hit a home run. I was always a single-stretched-to-a-double kind of guy. or I could stretch a double into a triple. I never hit a home run. I was never a power hitter. I was consistent.

Well, now that I am looking at this, maybe this is what a home run feels like. If it is, I have struck gold.

I guess where the title comes into consideration is I dont know. I just dont know. All I can do is pray that Gods will be done. Mine hasn't worked out well, but since I have given this over to God, things have been amazing.

relying on God is very easy to say, but its very hard to do. I think its easier to rely on God when your life sucks. You have nothing else. But when life is good, I find that relying on God is awfully hard. "Things seem to be going so well, why do I need God?" But, this is a common mistake.

Proverbs 3:5-6 says, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and he will make your paths straight".

See my interpretation above...


I tend to give God my little things, or my sadness. Not until the past couple of years, have I learned (I am still learning) how to give God the joy in my life.

Jeff Loven prayed something really cool last night. He thanked God for loaning us our talents. How cool is that. I have never heard that prayer before. But still, my talent (or happiness) is on loan from God. If everything, including our happiness, is Gods (our monies, our relationships, our hearts) why on earth wouldnt we give him our joy, and thank Him for what we have.


All this to say, I am getting on my soap box. Life is awesome, but some major decisions lay ahead, and I need to trust God for those decisions. He has nothing but the best for me, and I know that in my head, but I need to learn to give it up with my heart.

And that's the way the cookie crumbles
