"Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. "I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing."

John 15:4-5

Day 11

A picture of something we STRONGLY DISLIKE (no hate)

Excuses....
We just wish more people were down to adventure with us and seize opportunities, instead of staying in their comfort zones and justifying their laziness. BUDlife doesn't stick to the same ol song and dance since 89, "if you wanna keep up your gonna have to bleed to do it."

4 People who have gotten us through the most.

Chris, Gordie, Vern, & Teddy
"It's like God gave you something, man, all those stories you can make up. And He said, "This is what we got for ya, kid. Try not to lose it." Kids lose everything unless there's someone there to look out for them."
