The north Idaho Kebo Twins have a long standing and honored tradition; Undergo a near death experience every six months. It is kind of a 'purpose check' with the Lord. When we survive the 'adventure' we know that the Lord has more work for us to do. If we don't, well...that answers that question!
I will admit that I was a little apprehensive when the Twins went duck hunting a couple weeks ago...early morning, darkness, water, chestwaders, mud, thick brush, and shotguns. All of the basic ingredients for an 'adventure' and--we were pushing past the six month schedule. Nothing. Surprising. Might of had to do with the 'you can't drink beer in a Federal Wildlife Refuge' law? Ha.
Well Jr. went camping last weekend with some of his buds. Snow in the forecast, tent?-no. Monday morning he comes into the office, can barely walk and bruised all over. Hmm. Something was up.
He let a friend, inexperienced on a 4 wheeler, drive. He was on the back. Down hill slope, speed a 'little' to high, hand brake grabbed...wrong one--the front wheel brake. A classic prelude to a near death experience! 4 wheeler does what it is told to do--Front wheels grab. Back wheels where the power is, keep going! Over it goes. One, the friend, goes flying. The other, Jr., goes over, and under.
Whew...six more months!

This describes you perfectly. I thought of it when you did your profile update pic on FB.
There's a man who leads a life of danger
To everyone he meets he stays a stranger
With every move he makes another chance he takes
Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow
Secret agent man, secret agent man
They've given you a number and taken away your name
