My name is Andy Burdick and I don't go to church every time the doors are open. However, I believe in Jesus Christ. I am only human and fail Him daily. I believe Jesus is the Son of God, was born of a virgin, was crucified on a cross, died for our sins and rose from the dead, and that He loves us dearly and has forgiven us for our sins. But He says that "if I deny you in front of my friends, I will deny you in front of my Father".I don't give up easy, I have many miles to go, I’m anxious to get to What I see down this road, I'm not there yet but I'm on my way; Life is full of lessons to be learned. Some of the more noteworthy ones that I live by: 1. Get it the first time around--it saves time and is less painful. 2. It's ok to laugh at yourself--it allows other people to laugh and not feel so bad for your misfortunes (I could give some hilarious examples here). 3. Life is short--live life to its fullest and without regret. 4. Smiling is contagious--smile even if you're having a bad day. It will brighten someone else's day and will usually cause them to smile back at you, brightening your day as well. 5. And, last but not least, God won't give you more than you can handle (I have to remind myself of this daily). Ok, I do have some really useful advice if you're going canoeing. And If you are a first-timer or are sharing a canoe with a first-timer. I suggest wearing snug swim ware and shoes, and using bungee cords to securely keep everything in your canoe. But before doing some serious paddling, do wipe that excess sunscreen off your hands to prevent being smacked in the head by your own paddle. Always make sure your front seat driver is paddling in the same direction you are. Be prepared to break a sweat when paddling to catch up, but don't lose your cool over the other person paddling in reverse. And, if you find yourself laughing so hard that you wet in your shorts, it's ok, you're in the river.
