Crocodiles!!!

Can you see that crocodile behind Josh's head? Do you see the look on Josh's face? He was a bit frightened that it was so close! I felt very brave,
however, and encouraged him to smile for the picture!

Later that night when the house was quiet and everyone was hunkered down for the night, I decided to take a swim all by my lonesome. I turned the pool lights on and flipped on the jacuzzi just in case I got cold (imagine that!). I then took a couple steps and quickly took the form of a canon ball! The only problem was that when I hit the water all I could think about was the crocodile you see in this picture. The few seconds I was under water with my eyes closed seemed like years as I imagined this croc at my feet!!! Where did all that bravery go?!

To say the least, I don't think I have ever moved so quickly to the shallow side of the pool! What a big chicken! Isn't the mind a curious thing?!

And, as usual there is an application that can be made! Our minds can cause us to move to action very quickly even when our thoughts are not based upon truth. This just reminds me that I need to make sure what I am thinking is based upon fact and not fiction. I mean how many crocodiles have you seen swimming in clorinated pools in Corona, California?!!!
