Near Death Experience! LOL

09.14.05 (4:15 pm)   [edit]
Hey!! Today has been a really good day! I started BSF (Bible Study Fellowship) this morning. At first I was concerned because it seemed like there were only older ladies walking into the church ( i was wanting to kind of have a study with women more my age). But then when I got inside I saw that there were quite a few others who were around my age! I'm so excited to get started learning and start fellowshipping weekly with these ladies. *grin* God has led me to just the right place for me :)

 

OH, I totally forgot to tell you guys about a "near death experience" the other day!! On Sunday, me, me sis, her BF and my mom all went to this zoo. It's not like you would think. It's a family that has this petting zoo on their property. It's not too big and not too small. They have monkeys, snakes, cows, emus, deer, kangaroos (and baby ones too!), pigs, goats, etc, etc, etc! It's a really fun place to go. BUT...

 

As we were feeding the zebra, all of a sudden we saw this guy running down the road towards us!! We were like, "What's going on??" and then we hear something in the woods! This HUGE cow (not a typical dairy cow, but more of a buffalo size looking cow, it was HUGE).. but this cow was charging right towards us! He told us to get IN THE CAGE WITH THE ZEBRA!! The cow had escaped because it was really upset.

 

So , we hoped over the fence and I tell ya, that zebra was getting VERY upset. So, these 2 or 3 guys try to corner this HUGE cow and everyone was really nervous. I had no idea that if you try to run from a cow it will automatically charge and try to trample you! EEK! But a lady finally came in a golfcart and we piled in and got away quickly. The cow was afraid of the noise, so it didn't chase us. But this cow was sick and it was VERY mad because it had been bitten by a snake.

 

As soon as we got away from that area, we turned and that cow had run right into that gate (the cage we were standing in!) I don't know what happened. I sure hope no one got hurt! It was scary though!

 

LOL So, that's the scary cow story! By the way, I did some research on the nature of zebras and found out that a zebra is one of the MOST dangerous zoo animals! They have been known to attack the keepers by biting or kicking! ahh!

 

 

LOL

 

I'm glad we were all ok! I sure hope no one was hurt.

 

Luv,

Heather

Just Can't Sleep :)

It’s 12 AM and for some reason I just can’t sleep. My sis and her boyfriend just got home from a Christian concert/ festival. I really wish I could have gone. Joe and I were planning on going, but he had something military related he had to do.


I really miss him, even though I’m used to life without him (him not being physically around me). Yes, even though I’m used to it, doesn’t mean that it’s any easier or that I miss him any less.


Anyway, the concert had Joy Williams (one of my FAVES!!), Nicole C. Mullens, Michael W. Smith, Building 429, Chris Rice, Jars of Clay, and a BUNCH more! This was an all day thing. I’m happy for my sis and her BF, I guess I just wish I could have also been there and that Joe would have been with me too.


I’ve had a pretty good day, I’ve done a lot of reading. I was able to spend some time with Lola and with my Mom. We walk/ hike pretty much every day.


Anyway, I think I’ll try and get some sleep. Lol Have an awesome Sunday, everyone!!


Luv,


Heather
