I’m not sure what I’m posting today is very grace-laced.
I can, however, offer it as insight into my eccentric life. Or my eccentric husband.
How do I describe him really. He’s a lover of the Scriptures, flute music, tai chi, mountain biking, dolmas, Latin, Christian rap, flying, sushi, musicals, guns, jazz, archery, green tea, Shakespeare, Jeeping…and Man Vs. Wild.
I think Bear Grylls taps into my husband’s perennial desire to overcome. His motto: “I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.” (1 Cor. 9:27) I’m not sure the Apostle Paul had eating maggots and snakes in mind when he said these words. Whether genuine or a ruse, “Man Vs. Wild” does shed some light onto what it would take to survive any circumstance. And, as my husband imagines himself to require those skills someday somehow, he made the most of this week’s downpour that brought many an unsuspecting earthworm to our doorstep.
Be forewarned, it’s not for the squeamish.

Oh dear. Yucky.
That’s the Troy Simons I know and love.
Why am I not surprised?
I guess I can’t argue the fact that earthworm eating is a good skill to have. Has Troy decided on his next victim? Say…a days-old camel? (Have you seen that one?)
Um…Ewww, that’s gross. I should’ve waited a little longer after eating breakfast.
Well…now we know Troy will survive…as for the rest of us…
Girl…you better be making him brush and gargle for half an hour before you kiss that mouth again! I loved the sound of your voice in that video. I have never heard it so high pitched before! LOL ! Love you guys!
Given my fragile state regarding what I eat there is NO WAY I’m watching this. I have one word for Troy: Listerine!
