freshman guys bible study: part three...


only two guys showed up tonight for bible study. maybe its the weather or maybe they all have to study for a test. maybe they've come down with a bad case of CRS disease. it was kind of disappointing. but whatever the cause of their absence may be we made the best of the evening by watching "aisha" videos on ebaums world, played a few rounds of halo, and then hauled off to goatman's bridge out in copper canyon for a little late night scare. we were going to go to the bridge last week with it being halloween and all but we never made it. plus we wanted to get some info on the whole goatman story first. legend has it that if you drive out to the bridge at night and honk your horn 12 times the goatman will appear. its still sketchy as to how the goatman came into existence to begin with but i heard that long ago a man was hanged from that bridge wearing the head of a goat over his. when whoever murdered the man returned for the body the only thing left was the rope still attached to the bridge. the goatman was gone. but strange things have occurred since then to motorists who have crossed that bridge. cars have stalled out. doors locking and unlocking randomly. and some have seen what looks to be like lanterns floating about six feet off the ground over the creek below the bridge. ok, now i am a little scared. i think i just wet my pants. here's an interesting, non-scary fact about the bridge: it was built in 1884 by the King Iron and Bridge Manufacturing Company of Cleveland, Ohio, and stands alone as the last remaining Pratt Truss Bridge in Denton County.

so that's all i got. i hope the boys had fun. next week we'll spend more time in the word.
