an eventful sunday.

birds chirping as the morning sun is warming up the wonderful grounds of echo, alabama.
after lying in the immensely comfortable bed for a while, just cause i could, i got up and got ready for church. oranges for breakfast is the best thing. it's perfect.

me, freddy and josh drove to wiregrass church in dothan and attended the 9am service with kelly and david. wiregrass church is one of the broadcast churches under andy stanley's leadership and vision. he is an amazing teacher. truly. i got two of his books last sunday and im excited to read them. he is very bible-based, practical and relevant.

after church we went for lunch at cheeburger cheeburger. it's a popular restaurant designed like a typical american diner. i got the "semi-serious" burger which was the normal sized burger. but being in america they obviously had the serious burger and even more so the delirious burger. the delirious burger is one pound big and if you can finish it you get your photo taken and go up on the wall of fame.

on our way home to echo we saw a thick dark cloud of smoke rising from the trees. as we got closer to echo we also got closer to the origin of this mysterious cloud. we barely had to search for it til we found what it was. someones trailer (mobile home) was on fire! we watched as the big flames ate away the house of a poor mexican man that was devastated. the firetrucks came after a while and began to put the fire out. it was scary to watch. we don't know what caused the fire or if someone was in the trailer.

when we got back to echo i helped kelly wash her car. i washed the four wheeler too while i was at it. the boys were getting their fishing gear ready. when brantley and tyler came we got ready to go fishing at this pond about ten minutes away. it was a pretty small pond that had trees growing in it. we got into two boats and just floated around trying to catch some fish in the afternoon sun. i caught three! two basses and one blue grill. the boys also caught some.

when the sun was starting to set we drove back to the house and david fixed up the fish so that we can cook it this week. freddy's friend eric and david chucked some oysters (alive ones from yesterday) open. they eat them with crackers and cocktail sauce. i don't care for it that much though.
holly and brantley cooked dinner, fullgrain angelhair spaghetti, bbq chicken and homemade tomato sauce. i made some swedish mudcake for dessert, but it doesn't taste the same at all here.
now im uploading some pictures for you to see.

love becks
