Ok… first of all let me update you guys on yesterdays Frisco Beach World Horseshoe Challenge! It was Wayne and Jeff Wall verses Richard Lafoon and CHUCK BALSAMO! Just like you guessed it ladies and gentlemen… WE’LL KEEP ON FIGHTING… TO THE END… WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS… NO TIME FOR LOSING… WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS… OF THE WORLD! Lalalaaaaaa! (Lyrics to: We are the Champions… by Queen)

Oh yes, I am SINGING today… we won it fair AND SQUARE… and by the way, I did throw a DOUBLE RINGER in that game! Yup… oh yes… most definately… yupper do… wooohooo hoooo! I just can’t describe how profound this victory was for me! All the previous days’ sassing and sneering… it STOPPED right there! And when all was SAID and DONE, it was the real champs who ROSE TO THE TOP! We just needed to get warmed up for a few games… and once we were… it was SPANKING TIME for Wayne and Jeff! 

You guys know, I’m just playing here right? The facts as presented, they are true! We did win just as I have written. Though, I must admit… Wayne is one of the best horseshoe players I’ve ever thrown against. And IF we had accepted their challenge to a few more games… my story would be very different. All I can say is that GOD ANSWERS VACATION PRAYERS! 

Maybe thats the message of todays blog! God answers VACATION PRAYERS! 

Just like a few days ago, when I prayed to find an unbroken sand dollar… and 30 seconds later I found one! God cares about every part of our lives… he loves to give us an advantage when we need one… and when we WANT one! Sadly, too many people feel like God only cares to process our SERIOUS and SPIRITUAL requests… and we ONLY talk to God about the things we ASSUME he’s interested in.

I believe God is interested in every single part of our lives. He wants us to talk to him about all the desires of our hearts. He cares about us finding sand dollars on a sea shore. God cares about the things WE care about… our dogs and cats… our properties and possessions… even our vacations.

Matthew 7:8 For everyone who ASKS receives; he who SEEKS finds; and to him who KNOCKS, the door will be opened.

Matthew 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven GIVE GOOD THINGS to them that ASK him?

Psalms 37:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the DESIRES of thine HEART.

I have to admit how passionately I SOUGHT THE LORD for the victory of that game! And if anyone was watching, they could clearly see WHEN MY HELP SHOWED UP! Out of nowhere I started throwing like another person! I even remember thinking to myself, “WOW… God is answering these VACATION PRAYERS!” 

I hope todays blog adds a little more humor to your amazing lives! I hope also, that each of you will talk to God more frequently about those seemingly unimportant parts of your lives! He’s your FATHER and he CARES about everything going on in your world!
