FOTO FRIDAY

Today's theme is "SILLY". Finally a theme The Gordon Family excels at!!!

This picture of my lovely wife, Carre, was taken at a zoo. I really cant remember if it was St. Louis or Nashville. I think it was Nashville. She thought it would be cute to "act" like she was kissing the cardboard cutout of the tribal looking dude. Or woman!!! Not really sure!!!! Guess we should have asked that question before she puckered up!!!
This picture was taken at the big fireworks show at Dyersburg High School. You have to get there real early to get a good spot, so since we got there early the boys thought they would fool around a little.
For those of you who don't know, Parker is a little shy when he gets around people he doesn't see often. But when its just us LOOK OUT!!! Its always SHOWTIME!!!

JUST AS I PROMISED!!

Here are some of the pictures from the Icebreaker Service for the young people. Enjoy!




WOW these ladies were out for blood!!


Not real sure what was happening here. I could have been choking!!! This was the part where we tried to chew and swallow 6 crackers in 1 minute. Sounds easy!!! Try it when you get home. With nothing to drink!!!



Everyone always votes for the BIG person to win a food eating game!!! Some things never change!!!




"WOW I could use something to drink"




"I hope Bro. John don't see the three crackers I threw in the floor"



THE CHESS CHAMPION AT HOLY HILLS BAPTIST CHURCH

SUNDAY!!! SUNDAY!!! SUNDAY!!!

What a great time was had by all Sunday. I would like to tell you that my family and I belong to the best church EVER!!!! The Sunday services are always so good. It never fails that on "most" Sundays the Lord shows up and sits right in my lap. Sometimes Sundays seen like they are a hassle. I'm just telling the truth. You get up early. For some of you it is REAL early. You know who you are. You get to church. The services are good. Good congregation singing, good special singing, and O.K. preaching. HA HA!! I know his wife will tell him that I said that!!! Then you have to figure out if you want to eat in town and spend half of your weeks earnings or do you want to drive 25 minutes to get home at 1:15 and eat then. Then by the time you get done eating its time to come back to church. I thought people were suppose to get a Sunday afternoon nap!!!! Where did those times go? That reminds me of the episode of The Andy Griffith Show where the preacher was talking about us living in a nonstop world. We go & go & go & never slow down. So Andy and Barney decided they were going to do just that. They would go home and eat lunch that Aunt Bee made. Those days are definitely gone. HINT! HINT! Then after a good home cooked lunch they were going to sit out on the porch the rest of the day. Most of you know what happens next. Barney starts to reminisce about the time Mayberry had a band. Everyone would go sit out under the trees and listen to the band play. Then Barney had an idea. We could get the band back together. Then comes an end to the relaxing Sunday afternoon they had planned. That sound so much like our family today. Everyday is plan out to the hour. I got to thinking about how sometimes Sunday seems like a hassle. Then I think about Jesus dying on a cruel rugged cross for me. Was that a hassle?? He could have been a king and sat upon a throne but instead he traded all that in for me!!! Now Sunday doesn't seem like such a hassle at all!!!!!
I would like to say what a GREAT time Carre and I had at the Icebreaker for the young people. Those young people are so important to our church. I thank the Lord everyday that Bro. John has taken this upon himself to show these young people how to act and how important reading and studying that old King James Bible is. What a church!!! We might not all see eye to eye on ever situation but the Lord still shows up and show us that there are a lot of lost people that will die and spend eternity in Hell if we don't take it upon ourselves to go out and get the harvest.
I did take some pictures from the Icebreaker service that I might try and post tomorrow.

Here is an e-mail I received this morning. I really needed to laugh. IT WAS HILARIOUS!!!!


Subject: FW: CFO Executive Decision Fellow Business Executives:
As the CFO of this business that employees 140 people, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barack Obama will be our next President, andthat our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way. To compensate for these increases, I figure that the clients will haveto see an increase in our fees to them of about 8% but since we cannot increase our fees right now due to the dismal state of our economy, we will have to lay off six of our employees instead. This has really been eating at me for a while, as we believe we are family here and I didn'tknow how to choose who will have to go. So, this is what I did. I strolled through our parking lot and found 8 Obama bumper stickers on our employees' cars and have decided these folks will be the first to be laid off. I can't think of a more fair way to approach this problem. These folks wanted change; I gave it to them. If you have a better idea, let me know.

Sincerely, The Management
I can see you laughing!!!
