Video Friday III, Bears, Panthers and Son Volt
Sometimes you win...
I don't often post something from a pass along e-mail. My cousin sent me this and I thought that it resonates...
There once was a man who had nothing for his family to eat. He had an old rifle and three bullets. So, he decided that he would go out hunting and kill some wild game for dinner. As he went down the road, he saw a rabbit. He shot at the rabbit and missed it. The rabbit ran away. Then he saw a squirrel and fired a shot at the squirrel and missed it. The squirrel disappeared into a hole in a cottonwood tree.
As he went further, he saw a large wild "Tom" turkey in the tree, but he had only one bullet remaining. A voice spoke to him and said, "Pray first, aim high and stay focused." However, at the same time, he saw a deer which was a better kill. He brought the gun down and aimed at the deer.But, then he saw a rattlesnake between his legs about to bite him, so he naturally brought the gun down further to shoot the rattlesnake. Still, the voice said again to him, "I said 'Pray, Aim high and Stay focused." So, the man decided to listen to God's voice. He prayed, then aimed the gun high up in the tree and shot the wild turkey. The bullet bounced off the turkey and killed the deer. The handle fell off the gun and hit the snake in the head and killed it. And, when the gun had gone off, it knocked him into a pond. When he stood up to look around, he had fish in all his pockets, a dead deer and a turkey to eat for his family. The snake (Satan) was dead simply because the man listened to God.
Moral of the story:
Pray first before you do anything, Aim and shoot high in your goals, and stay focused on God. Never let others discourage you concerning your past. The past is exactly that, "the past." Live every day one day at a time and remember that only God knows our future and that he will not put you through any more than you can bear.
Do not look to man for your blessings, but look to the doors that only He has prepared in advance for you in your favor. Wait, be still and patient: keep God first and everything else will follow.
Sometimes you don't...
But Silence knows, you can't drown a heart...
The band, Son Volt, the song, "Drown", the CD, "Trace"
The Appalachianist, spreading Appalachiaism as if it were a plague of joy...

LOL, that you do, that you do.
Thanks for the smile on my face and have an awesome weekend :-)
Yes, Ma'am, you too.
Kinda weird, I own the Son Volt CD, The White Stripes video and a pretty extensive Hank III collection. I never knew the name of the Trashville song, though, as peer to peer sites can be pretty shakey on song titles and artists. Son Volt, Wilco, and even Hank III.... not so many folks listen to them. You surprise me often.
I call myself a hippie a lot, but really, labels are all inconclusive. I am also a fiscal conservative, a social liberal, a sober minded adult, and a big kid. Bohemian... who knows, probably a little. Most realistic label? Fairly Happy Dude.
Just bought the new Jason Isbell CD (right fair) and Kid Rock (more rock, less rap).
By the way, I am a huge Presidents of the USA fan. I am man enough to admit that. They make me happy and possibly shiny.
Sorry this comment had little to do with bears. I think we've established they seldom do.
Oh yeah, have you ever heard Hank III's version of the Snoop Dogg song "Gin & Juice"? Killer.
Ed, I'm glad I surprise you, I must be a jack box of coolness. Just kidding...I don't feel I should judge myself as so...Just be content. I can't find my SureFire batteries and it's ticking me off. That's no ones fault. I've been planning on posting a Jason Isbell video. Don't have the CD yet, so...I ought to ge it.
Kid Rock is OK...He came to Taji last Christmas, didn't have Pamela so it was no biggie.
Labels are so inconclusive, except for ass hole. No body has called me that in a while so, I may be inconclusive.
