Games, Raising the Roof, Hello Dolly
7/21/08 - 2nd Day - After Breakfast. We had a great weekend here, though it was brutally hot most every day. The Sabbath was nice and peaceful (but, did I say, HOT?), and the Lord's Day was more of the same, though, as usual, it was nice and breezy down by the office where we had our fellowship. The office work has screeched to a stop due to lack of funds, but more on that later. So, the Lord's Day was close to 100 degrees, and we passed the time by hanging out on the porch, playing 42 (which was fun), and last night (when it finally cooled down a bit) we played Spongebob Monopoly. Now, I don't even know who or what a Spongebob is or what that is all about (or what pineapples have to do with sea creatures), but for some reason we have a Spongebob Monopoly game, so I played it with Dusty, Danielle, and Tracy. I ended up being some character named Mr. Crab or something of that nature. I probably don't need to tell you who won, but suffice it so say that my gregarious, sharing, caring, and non-aggressive playing style reaped great benefits.
The donations are coming in to help replace our brother Jim's roof. For those of you who are interested, we are raising money to replace the roof on a good brother's house. Jim was one of the first brother's who was with me when we moved down here to this land. He helped us build this cabin, and helped on a lot of the projects that got us started here. He left to get married, and soon after discovered that he had cancer (Jim is in his mid 30's). Jim is not doing very well, and though we have the highest hopes and are in continual prayer for him, he would like to (if he must) leave his house in a good condition for his wife in case she desires to either live in it or sell it if something were to happen to him. Currently, due to the construction needs, they are living in a very small portion of the house. If you would like to donate to the cause, please send your donation to:

Well, Tropical Storm "Dolly" is churning off of the Yucatan Peninsula. We are just slightly "outside of the cone" for this coming Thursday, so if Dolly takes even the slightest turn to the north, then we should get some good rains come later in the week:
My wife is still threatening to post a picture of my "double-ringer dance" from horseshoes a week or so ago. Y'all need to go to her blog and vote NO. No one wants to see a serious (and almost universally loathed) preacher celebrating like an idiot.
Thanks y'all!

Sounds like you could use a good soaking rain. I am glad to hear the donations are coming in. I think I will vote yes to see that dance...sounds fun!

It would bring a smile to my face to see a picture depicting a carefree, lighter side of Michael Bunker. But I suppose if you prefer the Mrs. did not upload it for all eyes to see, the vote should be NO. However, I do hope you change your mind (or the votes lean toward a resounding YES). ~Sonya
Thanks for all the extra information about Jim's age, health, desires for his house, etc.
Re: the video threat?.....Oh yes we do! And then if I'm ever down there I'll take you on for a round of horseshoes too! Used to be pretty good at it when I played it with Dad regularly, (he used to dance with doubles sometimes too!)
Glad you had a nice, restful Sabbath and pleasant Lords day, even with the heat!

We are very blessed to live on top of a large underground aquifer, which gives us plenty of water in time of need, and is not too far down; Your recent lack of rain makes me more thankful for this blessing; We also realize it will make it easier as we are working toward our separation from the world.
We very much enjoy reading your Blog, and those of your community (the Siffords and Irbs, etc.) I hope we can come to visit and share ideas some day.
