I lost a competition during spring break. It took approximately 32 minutes to drive from Carl's Jr. in Maricopa to the Williams house in Phoenix. I guessed 37, Jessica guessed 35 (I think), and Lindsay guessed 33. According to one source, the odds of a woman having sextuplets without the use of fertility drugs is 1 in 4.7 billion. The odds are similar for Lindsay beating me in a competition, and yet, it happened. The wager: a ticket to a spring training game the next day.
The next day, after 4 tries, we found no success in watching a spring training game; they were all sold out. So...I am off the hook. While Lindsay tried to finagle some money from me, no money was exchanged and no tickets either. Shortly after, while grabbing milkshakes at QT, I did make her a bet: She couldn't go 2 hours without talking about me, or to me. Megan witnessed our binding agreement and we shook on it. About 2.7 seconds later, Lindsay began talking to me, and I was $5 richer - or I should have been, but she never paid.
However, 2 weeks later I received a medium sized package in the mail, filled with packing paper. Taped to the bottom - a $5 monopoly bill. Touche Lindsay, touche.
Phew...Now that you know the background, let me tell you about one of the best spiritual lessons ever. I'm not sure where it came from, but one day, it just popped into my head. How could I send a unique part of Arizona to Texas AND simultaneously do as Colossians 3:16 says, and "teach and admonish one another with all wisdom..."? Here's how. Enjoy the pictures, look up the reference and remember how much your Heavenly Father loves you!

It is too late to make a difference but I apologize for whatever I left out of your upbringing.
