Make fire with a coke can and chocolate
If you’re stuck out on a cold day with nothing more than a coke can and a bar of chocolate, Wildwood Survival has a unique way to stay warm or heat up that rabbit you just killed.
I can’t say this works from first hand experience but I’m willing to give it a try.

Home Depot is giving away 1,000,000 florescent light bulbs this weekend in celebration of Earth Day (Sunday, April 22).
According to their website, the new bulbs will save an estimated $12 million in annual energy costs. That’s a lot of energy.
The give away is on a first come first serve basis – so if you can, drop in before church and see how you too can help save energy costs.
It’s a small world after all
I was reading Brian Davis’ blog this week and came across the above picture that looked VERY familiar.
Davis is the Director of Worship Technologies at Fellowship Bible Church in Dallas.
This weekend I had the chance to get away with our high schools students (boys only) and do some camping. Our Senior High Pastor spoke to the boys about character, and what it means to be a man of God. We had a great time, and caught lot’s of fish off the pier you see above. In fact, here’s the prize winning fish from the weekend. I had to leave early, but not before making some peach cobbler in my dutch oven over colas from the fire.
The setting was beautiful and I really enjoyed spending time with my 15 year old son and his friends.
Some of you may already know where the picture was taken – Hidden Acres, the campground Metropolitan Bible Church owned and I practically grew up at.
Pretty cool to see others enjoying the campground where I’ll be tomorrow night for a portion of my bachelor party.
Re: Our first finds
UPDATE: It appears Laurie is getting hooked for sure. She sent me some information on some caches in the Town East/Mesquite area. She also came up with a really cool idea for a couple’s cache competition.
But more on that later.
Our first finds
Well I may just be speaking for myself but I think Laurie and I are hooked on Geocaching now.
We tried the “sport where you’re the search engine” on Monday but didn’t make a find. We tried again last night with a few easier ones within a mile of our new place and had much better luck.
I believe we even avoided “Muggles” for the most part.
We made our first find, Light Up My Life #4 and then went from there.
We found 5 of the originals in the Light Up My Life series. I believe there are currently two more.
We also decided to give Smiley and Shari a run for their money. They’ve been leaving their business cards for After Hours Improv behind and we decided we’d start a game of finding all their cards they’ve left behind and replacing them with cards showing our website on them.
Looking forward to some more geocaching with the guys at my bachelor party this weekend.
