Some Pictures

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, I guess whoever said that was right. So I figured I could save some time and just post some pictures rather than try to compose many thousands of words. : )

ME!
(2002?)

There is a long story behind this picture.
I will start from the beginning (...the very best place to start).

Well.

We used to go to a church in town (River Valley Community Church) and there was a ministry called "Kids Reaching Kids". It was sort of like Sunday School except a little more involved. All the kids in Sunday school got to do something. You could be a clown, a puppet hand, a face painter, or an actor. We did skits, puppet shows, etc. at parks and places. The clowns would hand out balloons, juggle, and attract other kid's attention.

So I was an actor. Noah in fact.

And, as everyone knows, Noah had a beard, right? And as you can see I was only a little buck who, try as I may, could not grow a beard. Much less a long, wispy, grey one as Noah undoubtedly had.

Make-Up works miracles! Within 30 seconds, I had a beard!

The make-up got kinda messy after playing Noah and then one of my friends starting putting ketchup in my hair! (Actually, its a red wig. But don't tell anyone. They wouldn't know otherwise).
So one of the moms thought it was soooooo cute (don't you think?) that she took a picture of me. And alas! There went my reputation as a dignified, stately, and venerable young lad! Now, all my hopes of being a pastor or a politician, are dashed because of one small and insignificant misunderstanding!!! (sniff)

The End
