The Fullness of Life: HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MAN? ~ 11/20/08

JOSH "Dusty, you're a stubborn man."

DUSTY "I'm not a stubborn man, I'm just practical! I tell ya, they just don't accept humor like they used to... it's hard - It's a struggle, always trying to pacify the general public. By the way, I ordered something for you and your family for Christmas."

JOSH "You didn't have to do that."

DUSTY "I know I didn't, but it's Christmas! I like giving things... don't ask me why. I was always going without as a kid, so you'd think I'd be a greedy little bougger. Hey, what are you writing?"

JOSH "Oh nothing, just our entire conversation..."

DUSTY "What! Well tell them that 'giving is important.'

JOSH "No, I'm not telling them anything now, 'cause now you know I'm writing down what you're saying, and the charm of it is gone.

DUSTY "That's alright... I'm such a short topic anyways... I"m only 5' 6'' and 114 lbs... not a very big subject, is it...?"

If you see Dusty this week, give him a warm hello. He's a diamond in the rough and he likes it that way; he's a rare character, and always good for a laugh. And besides all that, he's our brother in Christ! "Then he (Jesus) looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, 'Here are my brothers! Whoever does God's will is my brother and sister and mother'" (Mark 3:34,35). Oh, and he loves freshly baked cookies.

Surrounded By Grace,

Josh

YOU KNOW YOU'RE A HUNTER WHEN...

you paint you car camo cause you might want to do a drive by on that herd of deer.
You think camo clash necessitates shopping for new clothes, and should in fact get its own line item in the budget.
Your idea of lingerie is 3D Advantage Camo jammies.
You try to convince your wife to pay for your license/tags out of the grocery budget
You say something sweet to your wife and she asks where you think you're going hunting this weekend.
Someone sits on your couch and you have to tell them to watch out for the bear head.
You 'subconsciously' schedule trips to the zoo in order to get an idea what something would look like on your wall.
You see a sign that reads "SHEDS" in Home Depot and delightedly wonder when they added a sporting goods department.
/If you laughed at that last one...
Your favorite Italian meal is "Buck-ghetti"
You catch yourself wishing Yankee Candle carried 'gunpowder mist' in their yearly Autumn catalog.
You crimp spent shotgun shells onto your Christmas lights to add "character."
Your wife finds a stack of hunting magazines hidden under your mattress.
