Ministry So Fabulous! » Did I mention that this video isn’t very flattering?

Did I mention that this video isn’t very flattering?

For those of you who only stop by on weekdays, you missed yesterday’s explanation of what you’re about to see. Trust me, you’ll probably want to read that first in order to understand what’s going on in the video.

For those of you who wish I’d quit posting videos of myself doing embarrassing things, I agree with you.

I would just like to point out that I’m wearing a “boxy” shirt that isn’t all that FLATTERING TO MY FIGURE. But the whole point was to wear a bigger outer shirt in order to get it to “fly out” when I took the leap.

Also, don’t forget that the camera adds 10 50 pounds.

Lastly, I want you to know that I did the following leap FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES in order to get the shot we needed. The video that you’re seeing first (OH YES I’VE GOT TWO UP HERE FOR YOU) is the second time I did it, I think. And then the video after it (which is just a few seconds long) shows the third time I did it. After it was over, the photographer told me that he got three incredible shots — one with the yellow wellies and two with the pink wellies. Quite obviously, they truly are “rain boots of power.”

Yes, I actually said that in the video. See for yourself.

And now, because you’ve been good little interlings this year, Santa Amy Beth is going to give you a bonus video featuring me trying the jump AGAIN and falling on my face AGAIN.

Did you end up nailing it? Let’s post that vid so you can redeem yourself.

If you wanted to look like you were flying…I suggest feathers next time.

Looks like fun, even if you are going to need a tetanus shot afterwards.

Oh Amy Beth… I have been DYING to share this with you. This past weekend Andrew (my six year old nephew/son) and I went to the old school Reel to Reel theatre in good ole Johnson City, Tennessee. About a third into the movie, there came screams from the back and I heard a fluttering. Yep… you guessed it. There was a bird in the theatre. Andrew laughed and laughed. We had to move out of the theatre… but what an experience. I immediately thought of you!

Sister girl, you – and your wellies – ROCK! Proverbs 17:22 says, “A merry heart is good medicine,” and you certainly made my heart merry with that footage.

Is there anyone more fun than you? Honestly, if there is I’ve yet to meet ‘em. The fact you used the word “Badonkadonk” in an actual sentence and pulled it off with such ease confirms, for me, what may just be our spiritual calling to be friends. lol. I think you may be the Jonathan to my David. ; ) Or vica versa. lol.
I mean you said BADONKADONK and meant it. The level of laughter/joy that brings me is unheard of.

LOVED it. I couldn’t watch it the other day on my other computer, so I’m just now seeing it. I believe there IS power in pink, just so you know.
