PopsiLufsJesus -> Smells Like Good Times (9/2/2008 8:58:15 PM)

Just made a bonfire and it was enjoyable! I was remembering all the good times and somewhat interesting times I've had around bonfires. Too many to mention them all here, but I will tell you about one time back home when we had one...

The purpose of the bonfire was to keep the neighbors awake. You see earlier that day our ball rolled and hit the tire of their car and so they took our basketball. We wanted it back. They said that they weren't going to give it back and so we were picketing. My Dad was on his lawn mower mowing the one strip of grass that our neighbor insists on mowing each time he mows his lawn. (Weirdo) And us kids were at the bonfire. Some of my siblings made picket signs and were walking in front of the neighbors house shouting, "WE WANT OUR BALL BACK." Eventually the neighbors conceded as so they could go to sleep. That was such an interesting and fun-filled night. I enjoyed myself.

Sitting around the campfire always makes me examine where me and Jesus are at. Never fails...This time I thought about the fire and about passion. The Pastor gave his sermon on passion this last week. It was about rekindling our passion. We do this through spending time with the One who lives inside of us. "stir up the Gift that is within you."

I realized that when I kicked the side of the fire pit that the flames got bigger. So perhaps when your passion fades: kick it.

What are some of your memories around a bonfire?

My memories about being around a bonfire have always been to get ten or so feet away from it as soon as possible. They are too hot. I'm not even one to kick the fire pit stones around a bonfire. Just too hot. Now, sitting around a campfire when it's in the teens outside, that's a nice feeling! Also, learning how to start one with just one match is a good challenge. Also, how to sneak the grahm cracker and chocolate bar in there close, then the melted marshmallow on top and the other cracker- that's the real challenge. Some say moon pies are the answer, but nothing beats a s'more.

yeah, I am sure fires are more enjoyable when its cooler. I personally do not like s'mores. Don't like chocolate.

I'm sorry, but with an attitude like that you'll have to leave now. [;)][8D]

If somebody started a bonfire in my city they'd have to deal with fire and police personnel in a very short period of time.

wild fires, or close corridors?



uncabeeil -> RE: Smells Like Good Times (9/3/2008 4:06:08 PM)

Who, me? Neither. I live in a small but crowded city. Bonfires are very much against the law. Can't even burn trash in a container.
