Shark attack
It's
real!! Not to discourage you from going
to our favorite vacation spot, but, just to say, Be Aware and Be Prepared. As with anywhere you travel, you should be
prepared with an emergency kit. This is
the first time Candy and Kenny were not around there usual spot. They are usually closer to Crystal Beach area
where there are lots of people. This
time, they decided to go somewhere a little more remote. They chose the Caplen area. There
are not usually a lot of people in this area of Caplen and on this particular
day, there was no one around except for Candy and Kenny. CLICK here to read, "the rest of the story"

Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath
blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly [places] in Christ:
(Ephesians 1:3)
Every
spiritual blessing. Every single last one! Can you believe it? What
abounding grace has been granted us who believe! Every spiritual
blessing! To us, the former children of our once-father, the devil. Even
while every believer should be rejoicing in thankful abandon at being
granted to taste of life eternal, how much more should the adopted son
of the High King of Heaven give unceasing thanks for the bountiful
treasure unmerited which has been granted him by God's unmeasured mercy!
"Let a joy keep you. Reach out your hands and take it when it runs
by." ~ Carl Sandburg

CAJUN CORNER
Boudreaux and Thibodeaux decided to go fishing one morning
at the pond in back of Boudreaux's house. It was dark and when they reached the
pond they realized they wanted to cross to the other side. But they couldn't
walk around and had no boat or pirogue to cross in. Thibodeaux turned to
Boudreaux and said, "Mais Boudreaux, how in the heck we gonna get
across." Boudreaux said, "No problem, I'm gonna shine this here
flashlight across the water and you gonna walk on the beam of light all the way
across." Thibodeaux then says, "Mais, Boudreaux, you must think I'm
stupid or something, cause just when I get halfway across you gonna turn off
the light."
