To the Cotton Gin again?

     At the cotton gin we (me, my dad and Shadrach) were given a full tour of the gin by Cade Wyat and Benny. They were good tour guides although it was hard to hear them because the Gin was so loud. When we first got there Cade showed us were the cotton seed goes and what we use it for.

  Then we went into the place where they load the cotton where we met Benny. Once there he told us how they use the big truck to move cotton bales. Once we got inside he showed us where they separated the seeds from the cotton then showed us were the cotton overflowed and let us use the vacuum thing to suck some of the cotton up. 

  Next they showed us were the cotton was bagged, tied and shipped off. We went back to were the cotton was loaded and we got to watch them load the cotton. Last Cade showed us were they dumped the trash which was pretty cool. Overall the Gin was pretty cool.

So save your work and let a youth member do it for you. We can fix fences, rake leaves, sweep floors, even move stuff. Show up at Calvary Baptist tomorrow at 9:00 am sharp.

Evangilist vs Preacher

This is going to settle the question of the century which is better Evangilist or Preacher.

The Evangilist (Eric Fuller) against The Preacher (My Dad Steven Ball)

The Evangilist has a cooler Job because he gets to travel everywhere, meet new people and eat new food and that is his work. While the Preacher on the other hand stays in one place and knows everyone. 

The Evangilist lives off a love offering while the Preacher is paid every so often.

The Preacher prepares for the evangilst and does the heavylifting of getting people to come while the Evangilist Precahes and leads bible studies.

The Evangilist is a little bit peppier or excited than the preacher.  

While the Preacher works about 40 hours the Evangilist works about 60 hours a week.

They both can go to school for there job but the Evangilist gets more slack about his career.

They both have familys and both have homes and cars.

The Two spiritual

figures who seem the same are a lot differnt.

Pig Update

Well I wrote a chcken update seems like there needs to be a pig update too. The pig Bandette is now the size of a small dog or large cat. She went from like 5 pounds to like 40 or 50 pounds. The chickens like to get into her cage and eat her food. Bandette also likes to destroy toys and water containers in her spare time which are usually put back. Recently we put a metal bucket in her cage so that she couldnt tip the water. Instead she sticks her head in the water and blows bubbles. 

Remember the Revival party at our house this Saturday dinner will be served and it starts at 6:00 pm.

The revival will go out to Wednsday.

Being a Preachers Son

When I started this blog I never really thought about the title Being a Preachers Son. Being a Preachers son can be difficult at certain times but is also rewarding at other times. It is hard when your dad stays at church for a long time but, rewarding because he has lots of free time. It also means I sometimes have to watch my brothers so my parents can go witnessing. That can be rewarding in its own ways too though. So over all being a preachers son isn't all that bad.
