Living Life To It's Fullest

I'm not 100% sure why people keep reading my blog, but every-time I post I am completely surprised by the number of people that check it out.  I guess people just want to know what dumb thing might come out of Rusty's mouth next, or maybe you all just want to see the awesome pictures of my cute little boy (again, I'm biased!), you know on second thought you may just want to see how nappy my beard is getting (is that it? Grizzly Adams style!)  Yesterday I had a great time hanging  with a few buddy's of mine from the Middle School Ministry here at Quail, Kale Dumas and Tanner Lewis.  We went to Old Navy and Orange Tree and hung out for a bit, good times!  Kale and I decided we are going to create a running total of man points accumulated over his next three years in our MS Ministry and see who comes out ahead, me or him. I got 15 initial points for being married and having a son, plus a few for the beard.  He got man points just for being named Kale!  I love working with students...they keep me young and on my toes.  You know as I get older I am realizing that I don't want my life to just pass me by, I want to make the most of everyday; this has really come into perspective as I come home from work everyday and realize Beau is getting bigger and bigger.  What is it today that needs to be most important, am I living life just to get by, or am I living life the way the Lord intended it to be lived.  Jesus says He came to give life and to give it in abundance.  If your going through the motions day to day and letting it slip by your missing the joy of a life of abundant living according to Christ.  Kingdom focused with an extra dose of living.  The most exhilarating thing you can do today to live your life to the fullest is share with someone what God is doing in your life!

This week I leave home for McAlester (home away from home away from home)  to hunt the biggest deer I probably have ever seen!  I hope to score a trophy, but if not it's just a blessing to be able to go!  God is gracious to me and blesses me beyond what I deserve and I want to give him praise for it!  I think there should be man points for that!  Have a great week...
DREAM BIG AND PURSUE IT ADAMANTLY!

Oh Yeah and here is another picture of Beau at 25 days and full of gas (like father like son)...
