Travel Prejudice and Peace

I went to Juneau a few weeks back. I saw my family and my friends from high school. Sadly I didn't manage to find any time for a grand adventure, though I did ride on the fly bridge of a 20ft boat while on step, that was pretty fun. My niece and nephew were in town from PA, they're the jewish step children of my step sister... which makes them my... niece and nephew. Exactly. I started calling the boy, josh, "Wahkeboo" cause it kinds sounds jewish ya know? to which he replied by calling me "uncle poopie" alas. You can't argue with that kind of logic can you?

We also went to Chitna the weekend after. I was a pretty small representation of the tribe this year. Just Pastor, Jordan, myself and my little brother who's here for school. We didn't hardly catch any fish but we rode the snot out of the 2 four wheelers we brought. Jordan's new one is pretty amazing.



In other news jane is enjoying her first time going into heat. And poor Goobie (the little beagle man-puppie) Is so tormented that he won't even eat. Whats really funny is that some of the girls have started taking pity on him. Noah and I advised them that it was a pitiful state but that they should by no means have pity on him. Yesterday at the store Elliot and I saw the man for jane. He was a huge yellow lab with a big ol' meat head on him a happy face and strong limbs. I really should have gotten out of the car and asked if they wanted to breed him. here's the best representation I could find.




I'm pleased to report that there has been peace in the house of God like there hasn't been for the last four years. The pastor has been given some time off and has been able to disciple my brother some. I asked Elliot how it went after their first meeting yesterday and he said "best part of my day" Its amazing how he really seems to be a new creature. He still has bad habits like we all did after we were saved but his heart has changed completely. I think the timing of this couldn't have been better to offer encouragement to my pastor so I'm doubly grateful for this second birth.
