Good Morning Friends!
Today is the 18th birthday of my BABY BOY! Coree is such a delight… well, most of the time that is! At 18, he still has a young heart and he’s one of the funniest people I know!
About a year ago, youth Pastor Nathan Bain told Coree and Heaven this redneck game he used to play when he was a kid. It’s called possum stompin… ever heard of it? So, ever since then… Coree and Heaven and some of their friends drive down a bunch of our gravel country roads at nights from time to time looking for possums.
The goal is to find one trying to cross the road… stop the vehicle, get out, kick the possum, get back in the vehicle and drive away… with the bragging rights! (Please don’t turn us in to the animal rights people… we’re talking about an innocent little kick here you guys!)
Until a few days ago… they have not found a possum in more than a year of diligent searching! Coree and Lucas Wade were driving home from the gym on Sunday evening and there it was!!! A four legged furry creature was in the middle of the road! So Coree nailed the brakes, put the truck in park, and he and Lucas jumped out to go stomp their first possum! Coree didnt have his contact lenses in that night… bad boy!
As they ran around front to the headlights… Coree and Lucas had their feet back ready to kick, until Lucas YELLED to Coree, “NO, NO, Coree DON’T, It’s a SKUNK!” The only thing that would have made this story more funny would have been if the skunk had sprayed them! Unfortunately, it did not… and poor Luke and Coree and a few of their friends are still waiting for that glorious day they successfully administer their first stompin! And Emily and I are left with another laugh and the pleasure of having a son that loves the simple things in life! Happy Birthday Coree… we are so blessed to call you our son!
Ok, on the preachy side of things… from the stats, it looks like you guys loved yesterdays video! So, I’m going to include another one in todays blog. I hope it also adds tremendous value to your amazing lives!
In todays video, I’m expounding on one of my 30+ Thoughts on Effective Evangelism, taught on this past Sunday night: “The FAITH that a person needs to be saved is contained within the message about salvation.” Great thought… I think you’re gonna LOVE it!
Enjoy the video and leave your beautiful comments! Oh… and have a super day!
Tootaloooo everyone!

Hilarious story & great vid! Wish Coree a Happy Birthday from me & Helen.
BRAVO PASTOR CHUCK ON THE VIDEO CLIP.
GOD HAS BLESSED US WITH OUR CHILDREN AND WITH REDNECKS. THEY BOTH GIVE US A MULTITUDE OF LAUGHS. AND LAUGHTER IS ANOTHER GIFT FROM GOD. THANKS FOR MY FIRST REAL LAUGH OF THE DAY AND THE WORDS OF WISDOM WHICH HAS LEAD ME TO THE REALIZATION THAT I BETTER UP MY SCRIPTURE READING AND BIBLE STUDY SO I CAN CONTINUE TO GROW AND BECOME A BETTER VESSEL THROUGH WHICH GOD CAN WORK AND BRING OTHERS TO HIM.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY COREE AND WATCH OUT FOR THOSE STRIPED POSSUMS!!!!
That is absolutely hilarious! I would loved to have been there! Happy Birthday Coree! Hope you get your new car!!
Hilarious!!!! Happy Birthday Coree!!!!!
