Hi! Good morning..yeah I know once again where have I been..most of you didn’t even notice hehehe. Well the good thing is Bible Versticks are done..yes I said done..I think…waiting for a little feedback from some trusted friends. But after months of reviews and play …enhancements..revisions..prayer..they are done!
So what does that mean to you..my readers? (I say that by faith that there are a few of you) well buy the sticks doggone it! As far as the blog..probably nothing Hehehehehe…well okay in theory I will have more time to keep up the blog. 
The last month or so I have been picking up nails. yes nails..as I walk and run around the subdivision where I live. I have probably picked up well over 100…averaging about oh..4-8 per day. We have had a couple really high wind storms in the last year..and many people have had new roofs repaired or replaced. Nails have dropped everywhere in the process. A lot of them wind up on the road near the curbs around the complex. You know, perfect for when you pull in your driveway or on the street. I run on the edge of the road so I end up seeing a lot of them or kicking them and they go flying. I have to slow up from my breathtaking speed…where everything is a blur to me - stoop down and scoop em up.
Small thing I know..but it does take more time especially when you are trying to focus on walking and running. I mean… you don’t want to run into parked cars you know! Why do I do it? Well, we’ve had 2 flat tires in the last month from yep…nails.
It’s not for the kudos, no one’s giving it up for Brad…what a great guy picking up those nails! I doubt anyone sees me do it…or if they do they probably figure I collect pennies or something strange. Look…lok, there’s the weird dude stopping again there in the road to pick up junk! Well… I just don’t want someone else to have a flat tire. You know, walk out in the morning and be stuck ……it’s a hassle and it could be dangerous on the road. It also costs some money to repair. It’s an inconvenience that can be avoided easily if I continue my quest of spotting nails lurking out there.
My thoughts turned to God..how many times has He gone before us …clearing the path for our day. We usually think of blessings and protection in terms of things we know of..saw, heard..experienced..close calls etc. Or in blessings, things given to us, things we can hold and touch, etc. But I think even bigger blessings are those things we don’t have a clue on. God protected us and we don’t even know it.
Something didn’t happen that could have caused harm or cost us money to repair or buy…it’s the unseen things that I think we need to thank God for in faith…believing we are surrounded by angels and His Spirit going before us and walking beside us.
My guess is no one will know that I saved em a flat tire or worse..and that’s cool by me. It just FLAT out feels right doing it. Imagine how God loves doing things like this….invisible things for His kids. The little things and catastrophic things too..nothing is too big or small for our Dad.
Don’t forget to thank God for the things you know about but even more so…for the things you don’t!
