Nothing like a brisk run in the morning!

I had a rather odd/frightening experience this morning.

I walked out of my apt building, only to come face to face with a very LARGE goose.

We stared down eachother for a second, and then all of the sudden it opened it mouth and started making this hideous noise and heading towards me.

Not one to stick around and find out what would happen next, I immediately started running for my life.

(And wouldn't you know it, I was parked almost to the opposite end of my building, thanks to getting home late the night before.)

I ran to my truck as fast as I could hearing it chase me as I ran, hit the automatic unlock button and hopped inside, clutching my huge purse to me. If I had been thinking straight I could have just hit the darned thing with my purse. That would have stunned it for a second at least!

I look out my passenger side window and there is the goose staring at me! It had evil eyes. I think it was glaring the death glare.

So I think to myself, HAH! I will show you stupid feathered friend, I'll start my truck and scare the goose poop right out of you.

Great idea in theory.

The Goose was not scared by my truck, but it was very angry.

I started backing up and it started flapping its HUGE wings and coming after the front of my truck! I managed to swerve by it, and drove off. I mean I do have a truck but that was a stinking HUGE goose. How would I explain that to the insurance company? Um, I'm sorry but this goose came after me and started attacking the hood of my truck. I had to be at work early and didn't have time to fight it off, so I just ran over it!

Yeah, PETA would be all over me..

I'm a slight bit afraid to go home tonight...

Geese can really be vicious!
Thanks for praying for our boys- someday, we'll have to meet at church!

45/52

This week was rather lackluster, because I came down with a sickness on Monday and was down for the count Monday and Tuesday. I was super annoyed, because I had not taken a sick day since May and I was really trying to make it to 2019 without that happening! Boo!  My new coffee maker came in the mail, and it is so cute! It's like a miniature coffee maker, only makes 4 cups. It's adorable.  My nephew's 4'th Birthday present came as well. And I was a little concerned at the size of the box. Thankfully it wasn't as large as it appeared, but still a decent size!  Wednesday I rejoined life after being sick and ran out to get some free stix from Hotbox pizza and look what I saw!!!! A New DD is coming much closer to my house!! OH I was SO EXCITED!!!!!!  That afternoon I was working on getting all of my Christmas tubs brought inside from the shed, so I could decorate on the weekend. Then I had some cancellations and decided to start. I got the Piano room ...

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t...

The Bible Recap Day 45- Leviticus 5-7 (Year Three Podcast)

Welcome back to Leviticus Friends! Today we are in chapters 5-7 and I'll admit on the first pass through of it, while listening to it on my Bible app and reading along, I didn't make a ton of notes. But when I listened to the pod things made more sense, and I got a lot more from it. Which is why I highly reccomend listening to the pod after doing your reading. TL breaks it down and shares historical and meanings of things that those of us not steeped in our Hebrew, might not know.  Things I found interesting: She mentioned that God is the only one who has spoken so far in Leviticus. Tomorrow we get a switchup with Moses and Aaron but so far the first 7 chapters have all been God talking! We talk about blood some more, and she again makes the note that it is a reminder of the fall and that God is working on rebuilding Eden. She also notes that blood is given back to God because God is the giver and taker of life.  A question I had, when we were in 5:11, talking about the rich a...
