"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

The TRUTH

The Truth of God's word or 'The Good Book' has had a
HUGE impact on our lives recently (as it always does and always will).

Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. Colossians 4:6

Exodus 4

If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Romans 12:8

Genesis 1

Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!” Mark 9:24

John 16

Breakfast

More recently we have spent our morning at two excellent breakfast places. The Broken Yoke in Corvallis, OR and The Stepping Stone Cafe in Portland. Both of these places are full of character, excellent food, and really hospitable staff. Breakfast is one of those meals that you can eat 24/7 (and one that we frequently do). Some of the best times we've had have been centered around breakfast foods, whether that be making pancakes after church on Saturday nights with our whole crew of friends, or even those times in the middle of the night when we decide to make eggs in our special pan's at 3 in the morning, and always just enjoying a nice bowl of cereal - one big bowl, two spoons. We can't go wrong.

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."
