So I'm pretty sure this is the post you have all been waiting for...

It twas a fantastic day! The weather was nice, everyone played well, and everyone was in a good mood! (a rarity in Garvey excursions)

Normally, I like posting my photos in black and white (as you probably already know), but I just HAD to leave this in color, because... well... there was so much color. yeah. go figure. I just LOVE all the green's in them!

So anyway... let me give you a walk through. (yes, the photos are all in order. From all front 9 holes)





First we warmed up at the driving range.
We had to give David his own ball and bucket.
He behaved extremely well for a such a curious George as he.




They say he has great form, but I think he squats too much.




Dearest Leam.
He's a shy little guy.




My mom also has good form.
Notice the ball is missing.
She did actually hit it.




I have disgraceful form.
But I sure can whack that thing.




Warming up on the putting green.




uh.
Warming up on the putting green.




The "men folk" talking.



The "boy folk" talking.




"The psych-up."




A lovely couple.
Stephanie was our score keeper.




We're missing some photos at this point.
We were on the 6th hole.
Par of 3.
I made it in 2.
That's called an Eagle.
It's really good.
And it's hard to pull off.
Just thought I'd mention that.



Searching for balls.




uh.
Searching for balls.
Michael is a pretty cool looking golfer.




A self-portrait of the Garvey's as a young family.
* jungle jam *




Swing and a miss.
Just kidding.
It was a practice shot.




7th hole.
(I don't know what else to say.)




7th hole.
Panorama.




The green of the 7th hole.
When I took my second stroke to chip onto the green,
I hit it too hard and my ball flew into those white pipes over yonder.
But I recovered with nice approach and ended up with
the same amount of strokes as Michael. (7 yikes)




7th hole.




7th hole.
(I don't know why I posted so many of the 7th hole.)
Hmm...




Just a sweet pic.




"Oh, come on."
"You've got to be kidding me."




Michael Woods.




I think this is the 8th hole.




8th hole.
I was on a really tough downward slope to putt.




Stephen says I posed for this shot.
But I didn't.




I can't help it if I walk funny.




I just threw this one in so you guys knew I did
some serious editing to some of these pics.
You know, take out unwanted objects.
Like bags, ball, branches, etc.


* hope you enjoyed *

This is for "both..."

Please understand that these are simply doodles! They require absolutely no skill whatsoever!


That being said, I shall give you a tour of my "monkey art..."

(there is such a thing)








This is me putting the finishing touches on my beast of a flower...


" Tada!!! "

My pad...

My weapon of choice...

" ...a beast of a flower! "

The pretty one...

I honestly don't think it's that great, but this is a little prayer I never have quite finished until now. In fact, now that's it's finished (I think), I can sing it to myself (and God of course!), which makes it so much more of an offering to God, rather than just a few words spoken hither and thither.



Father,

May I never show disdain

Toward the honor of Your Name

Jesus,

Help me to remain

In awe of You who came

Spirit,

Assist me to proclaim

The glory of Your reign


I think there is very little that pleases our Father in heaven more than that of our own song written and sang for Him—as skillfully and poetically as possible!

Here we have been made with an audible voice, and it’s seems all too often we use that voice for tearing one another down. (And there is no one innocent in this regard) Furthermore, we all too often compare our voice to others around us and we begin to let that fear of man creep into our lives so much so that we fail to sing even in private—just one on one with God. I mean, let’s face it. Some people just have amazing voices. And others… well, yeah. We’re in the same boat.

All in all, I’m not trying to tell you not to compare yourself to others. That’s all legit. But one issue that I personally think is not stressed quite enough is the fact that GOD does not compare you to others. (Hallelujah!) After all, man looks on the outward appearance, but God looks on the heart!

So when you sing a song, don’t just mumble it off as if it were some “sing-along song with Salty.” Let God see a child’s heart that longs to bring joy to their Father by singing their own song, with all their might, using every ounce of “umph,” choosing only the finest of melodies, the most meaningful words, and the most precise doctrine!

Sure, that’s a high standard to achieve. But hey, I haven’t heard anyone say Chris Tomlin’s songs have always been great! :-)

If we died with him

We will also live with him

If we endure

We will also reign with him

If we disown him

He will also disown us

If we are faithless

He will remain faithful

For he cannot disown himself




I'm sorry I have not posted any of my own work... at this point, I'm afraid I don't have any to present. Maybe I have "artist's block." I haven't a clue. Let me know if you have any ideas of what I should do. Or how I should do it. Or what you would like me to do... i.e. write a song, take cool pictures, draw cool pictures...

Yeah.

I'm going to post something today.

For sure.

Now that I've said that, I must!
