My passions. Some of the things that I would love to do. Just once would be fine with me.

When I write a post I have all the text matched up with the pictures. Then when I click on publish, blogger does what it wants to. Sorry. 1. Volunteering at an orphanage in Africa or any third world country :) 2. Learning to fly. 3. Cave diving, dangerous yes, but you only live once. 4. Sky diving. 5. Supercross would be fun too. When I was 16 my boyfriend tried to teach me how to ride his dirt bike. He got very impatient with me so he only let me try a few times. He was so worried that I was going to trash his bike. Yeah, that boyfriend didn't last long. I didn't need a two year old in my life. I once told my mom that I wanted to go hang gliding and she came undone. "Josie, do you know how dangerous that is?" I decided scuba diving looked like more fun, and she thought it was safer? This reminds me of a list I found on the internet of the most dangerous sports. I say the people that enjoy base jumping and free diving are INSANE ! 1. BASE Jumping - BASE stands for Building, Antennnae, Span and Earth - these being the fixed objects that masters of this incredibly dangerous sport jump from. BASE jumpers will jump with a parachute off any tall structure including skyscrapers, electrical towers, bridges and cliffs. In the past, BASE jumpers have lept from the Golden Gate Bridge, the Eiffel Tower and the Empire State Building. People who try this sport almost always end up arrested (it's not exactly legal) and some don't even live long enough to get arrested. (We told you it was dangerous.) Stick to lawn bowling. 2. Free Diving - Divers will plunge up to 400 feet (120 meters) underwater in a single breath. At the 2001 Free Diving World Cup, 15 people had to be rescued because of blackouts caused by their brains not getting enough oxygen. This is what they say about cave diving. I wonder what kind of cave creature you might encounter? 3. Cave Diving - Imagine being more than 100 feet (30 meters) underwater in a deep, cold and dark cave. Divers are well trained but there are so many things that can go wrong which is why this is one of the world's most dangerous sports. You can lose your way, run out of air, your equipment can fail or you can be eaten alive by a cave creature. 4. Speed Skiing - This is the world's fastest non-motorized sport and one of the world's most dangerous sports. Skiers wear special skis and aerodynamic suits to fly down a hill at speeds up to 160 miles (250 kms) per hour! That's almost as fast as a racecar! One crash often means death. World Ski record attempt in space-age suit

Austrian ski champion Harry Egger is hoping a space age suit will enable him to become the world's fastest man on skis.Egger hopes to reach speeds in excess of 155mph wearing the high-tech carbon suit to set a new world speed skiing record.

5. Rock Fishing - Unless you're a fish, how can fishing be one of the world's most dangerous sports? Rock fishing involves casting a line into the ocean from the shoreline. People often forget about the tides and are swept away or are dragged underwater by massive waves. In 2001, 15 people in Australia died while rock fishing. 6. Bull Riding - Jump on a raging bull who hates your guts and try to hang on. That's the name of the game in bull riding. Some of the bulls weigh over 2000 pounds (900 kilos) and can throw a rider off in a split second - and may even stomp on the rider afterwards. Riders suffer broken bones, punctured lungs and even death. My dad was in rodeos just about every weekend up until we moved to Soap Lake. He was in the calf roping and I have seen a lot of bull riding. There was one thing about the rodeo that scared me to tears and that was when clown shot his gun. My mom would hold her hands over my ears tight and I would still cry :( A little story my mom told me years ago. I was around 6 months old and my mom had put me in my walker at the bottom of the bleachers on the ground. She was talking away to someone and when she looked back at me I had stuff (horse crap) smeared all over my face and I was eating it. I'm so glad I don't remember that.

7. Supercross - Athletes fly in the air on a motorcycle while doing backflips, taking their hands off the handlebars and other death-defying stunts..

8. Solo Yacht Racing - In a race around the world, sailors encounter waves, sharks, hurricanes and even pirates. The nearest help can be hundreds of miles away and racers have no control over the conditions they run into. With no one nearby to help them out, racers can lose the race and their lives.

9. Street Luging - Highly modified skateboards are used to race down a hill at speeds up to 80 miles (128 kms) per hour. The pioneers of this sport originally raced down hills in the middle of traffic which made it even more risky. There are now special luges and equipment for the sport which make it much safer. But hey, you're still hitting pavement when you crash.

10. Riding a Bike - We've all heard the phrase "it's as easy as riding a bike." Well, riding a bike can still be dangerous. In 2001, more kids broke bones or dislocated joints riding bicycles than any other sport.

The witch from The Wizard of Oz. Her bike was sweet :)

Before and after base jumping of off the Jesus Christ the Redeemer statue.

From the bible:

"Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me; you will stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies and your right hand will save me" Psalms 138:7

I thought this one was pretty good. HERE IS A FISHING LURE, I CALL IT JONAH!

Ok, I've spent a little bit of time on this post. Everyone have a good day :)
