A Great Easter Story!


Prepare to laugh.. I have to set up this story with a little history first. Last week we allowed Audrey to bUy some gold fish with money that she has earned from us and her Grandparents. We bought 3 gold fish from wal mart for 28 cents a piece!! Audrey took great care of them for 4 days making sure they were fed on a regular precise schedule. On Wednesday night she accidently dumped all of the food and Melissa swept it up on Thursday with the sweeper not thinking it was all the food we had. Long story short the fish starved!!! Melissa got up and flushed one Friday morning and then flushed another around 1:00. We traveled to Wal-mart and got 3 replacements.. When we returned the 3 and final (of the originals) was floating and Melissa took it to the toilet. It was then that I heard a scream from upstairs from my wife saying "Aaron it's alive!!!!" I ran upstairs and there it was, the fish that was flushed at 1:00 was swimming around with renewed vigor for life! Unbelievable!! It was flushed from an UPSTAIRS TOILET and made its way back?? So that is the story about Lazarus the Gold Fish.

SIDE NOTE: THE STUFF FLOATING IN THE TOILET IS FISH FOOD!! WE USED IT TO BRING LAZARUS BACK TO THE TOP SO WE COULD GET HIM OUT!!

Alarm Clock




So this morning I wake up for work at the usual 7:00 a.m. I shower and get all ready and the whole time I am thinking "man it is dark outside." I subdue these thoughts because of the rain and just think it is a dark morning. As I am going down stairs I notice that my senses are not rushed by the wonderful smell of Blue Mountain Coffee. We have a coffee pot that can be programmed to make coffee at the same time every morning. Anyway, I get to the coffee pot and I am pulling it out to see if there is water in it, and then I look at the clock and it says 6:30. My chin hits the counter (figure of speech) and all I can do is laugh!!!!

You see what had happened is my Atomic Clock had ran back another hour for daylight savings time. When they started changing the days around that start daylight savings time they messed up my wonderful clock! Just a funny story this morning!!

More Jamaica!!



This is a video (Shot side ways :)) of one of our Jamaican friends singing one of the many Jamaican songs he knows. Eli is a great entertainer and an even better singer. Eli sings for most of the teams when they come down and was nice enough to make a special appearance for us on Monday night. He has written many of his own songs including one he calls "Through the Father's Eyes." Which is responsible for the name of my blog!! Very powerful song and I am hoping to get it online soon so I can share it with all of you.

O yeah and if you watch long enough you see my daughter and her bad habit!!!
