Just a Big Fish Story.
I spent much of my childhood looking for outdoor adventures.
The Other Side of Death.
On such a beautiful day with the deep blue sky and billowy clouds, I wasn’t prepared for that scene of tragedy.
It’s Creeping in Our Bedroom.
What was that noise?….It’s the middle of the night. What has crept into our bedroom?
Too Big To Turn Down!
There is a thin line between stupid and fearless, sometimes.
Killer Porta-Potty!
Have you ever been somehwere so nasty that the “ick” factor made you gag? Did your best friend help you through it?
Run For Your Life!
There’s a fine line between running for your life and outright panic. I always seemed to be doing one or the other.
You Going to the Party??
Friday afternoon in high school was a time of great anticipation. The weekend was almost there and plans had to be made.
Where You Going?
I was headed to college unbeknownst to my parents.
Jump, John, Jump!
Jumping from the parsonage roof with a homemade parachute couldn’t possibly end badly. Could it?
The Flood.
The flood at the creek nearly drown me. I never told mom what really happened.
The Crash of Glass.
The crash of glass was heard as I tried to make it through the door.

As a preachers kid, having my girlfriend over to the parsonage was a tricky business.

The preachers kid was kidnapped on a youth group trip…..Sort of. You’d be surprised to know who did it and how he was rescued……Sort of.
Shocking,.. Just Shocking!
That toy truck flew like a rocket when we put the electricity to it. And nearly killed the neighbor doing it.
All Time Greatest?
I snuck away from a church picnic to slide down the spillway at the lake and nearly killed myself in the process.
The Great Cave Expedition.
Exploring the church crawlspace on a secret mission. We thought we’d been successful until unforeseen circumstances intervened.
