I Could Almost Kill Steve...

You may be wondering who Steve is, and why I'm so mad at him...well I'm glad you asked.  Steve is our new pet.  He is a stray rooster who wandered up to our house about three weeks ago, and decided to stay.  He follows the boys around the yard like a puppy.  He's a great conversation starter with friends and neighbors...but he starts crowing every morning at 4:30!!! That's right 4:30.  That is...except for today...it was 3:30.  I was in our front yard at 4:00 this morning in my underwear, throwing soccer balls at him yelling - "Shut Up Steve".  How about that for a crazy neighbor.

Ol' Steve has become a fixture around here, and I suppose I couldn't kill him if I really wanted to...but he better get back to 4:30, or we might have chicken and noodles next week for Sunday dinner.

Have a great week.

Is it me...or was that a line we just crossed?

When I first heard this story on the news, I thought...prayed it was an April Fools joke.  Well.  It's no joke, and I'm trying to figure out if I'm laughing, or crying.  Seriously.  I don't know what to think about this.

One thing is for sure.  I feel guilty, because I know I have done the same thing myself.  I can justify it because it was to a lesser degree, but I feel like I still did it.  It being - giving something away to get people to come to church...or Jesus.

Check out the story for yourself...what do you think?
