Quick Blog

Hey everyone,
I haven’t bloged in a while. It’s been crazy here. The baby is almost due and we can’t wait!! I can’t say I’ll blog as soon as he is born but I’ll try to be quick. Laura’s dad is flying in today to be here for the birth so that’s cool. He’s a great guy. You have him to thank for all the pictures I post on the blog. Steve bought me my sweet digital camera. David and I finished our little road trip. It was such a blast having him on the road with me. We got up super early our last morning, flew back to CA, drove up to Meatball’s garage/house and picked up my newly rebuilt motorcycle. If you’ve read “2 Live 4” I talked about my bike in that book. It was stolen about 2 years ago and I got it back and brought all the pieces (some missing) up to Meatball and he’s the master. I think I talked about him in my book too. Well it’s back together. I’m thinking about naming it “Lazarus” because it’s rising from the dead. Anyway, we picked up the bike, drove to David’s house/art gallery (I have to post some pix of David’s art. You won’t believe how amazingly cool it is. He’s a major talent) I dropped off David, cleaned my windshield and started my drive back to CO. It took about a day and a half. I was home for 2 days in which time our baby puppy Burr got nurtured and during his surgery one of his hips popped out and wouldn’t go back in due to a birth defect he has in both hips. A day later he went into another surgery to replace his ball and socket in his left hip. He was so happy to be out of pain (even though he had pain from the replacement it was nothing compared to the hip out of joint). Then I left for Canada with my dad and two friends to go hunting (bear) and fishing. The trip was unbelievable. I’ll post pictures soon. I caught a trophy walleye and I shot a 307-pound black bear. It was awesome!! It’s being made into a rug now. My dad shot a 260-pound bear also. Laura is about to burst. She is so uncomfortable so keep her in your prayers. Tito knocked out Ken Shamrock for their 3rd and final fight. I was very happy and was even happier when they hugged afterwards and said kind things about each other as Tito held Ken’s arm high and walked him around the ring. They both came out with a lot of class. Way to go Tito. I just bought your “Punishing Him Into Retirement” shirt last night and will wear it proudly. Speaking of UFC memorabilia I bought Laura a Matt Hughes shirt for her birthday (along w/ many other presents) and she loves it. Matt is her favorite fighter. Next in her list is Rich Franklin who is defending his title tonight. Keep him in your prayers. He’s a good man. Where does that leave us? Well Burr had his second hip replaced this week. He’s doing remarkably well and happy to be feeling better. The KOR Kast now has over 20,000 subscribers!! Woot!! If you aren’t listening start now! I’ll be recording a show as soon as I can. I’ll try to include baby Lincoln when he comes out. Jonathan is doing great. He just bought a new bow so he can go hunting w/ his big brother next week. We’re looking for more e-mails to talk about on the show so send them in (info@korministries.com). That’s all I’ve got for now.
God Bless you all.
