Pack Meetings and Traditions

Tonight was our pack meeting for cub scouts. It was a great night and strangely enough, we focused on scouting past and the 101 years of traditions that scouting has in America. The boys who are currently in Cub Scouts have not been involved but for a few years, but they have parents, grandparents, and even great grandparents who are involved or have been involved in scouting. I hope to see all of these boys progress and become Eagle Scouts. Scouting teaches them so much about life, God, family, and just doing the best that you can. These are all great boys who have the potential to truly become amazing men!

So I have been working in the house, today was focused on the den, which is also the play room. I have a lot to get done still but I have two bags, two boxes and lots of larger items for the donation bins, and I am not done yet. We will see how much I end up keeping. I am always a little sad when I overhaul this room because the boys are growing up and this makes me face that reality. Getting rid of the old, and making room for the new. It has to be done, but it is bittersweet.

So I heard about Toomer's corner today and I am sad. We were contemplating a day trip to the lake Sunday to inventory what we need to do before the summer. I am considering making that a trip to Auburn now. What to do? I am pretty torn, we really do not have the money for a 2 hour trip, but I do not want to miss seeing the trees one last time. I hope that they can save them. Now, as far as "Al from Dadeville" he sure was a cocky SOB when he called into the Paul Finebaum show so where is he now? He claimed that he did not care that it was illegal, so why exactly is he in hiding? I get that this man is an Alabama fan, but there is no way that he is an Alumni of Alabama or any SEC school. His lack of respect for traditions shows that. I hope that he gets caught and is put in an ORANGE jumpsuit for a long...long time. Furthermore, I am seriously doubting his accusations against Auburn. Why would they have rolled Toomer's when Bear Bryant died? The jersey on the statue maybe. Here is the thing though one of those is almost 30 years old, the other did not do any damage to the statue. A simple removal and it was all cleaned up. I personally would not have spent money on a jersey to gt to a statue. That is not vandalism though, what this guy has done is horrible and completely classless.

Well, I am off to bed. I really thought it would be before 9, but what can I say the news had me hooked with the Toomer's information! Before I go to bed as always I will be praying for my friends and family. I have a special request from a friend who is trying to get a job in this market that is hard so please pray for her, it is down to her and one other person. I will also be praying for the Toomer Oaks! WAR EAGLE!
