The Winners of the "Guess What?" Contest

Well, I’m here to announce the winner of the Guess What? Contest. We actually had some really close guesses and so we will be giving points for being close.


Drum roll please…



Kitty guessed moving to Alaska and since we are moving to yet another state and the state does have beautiful country and snow, she gets 1000 points! Enjoy.

Grace guessed that we were buying a house. Well, we aren’t buying, but we will be living in a house of our own (something we haven’t done in a year). Enjoy your 1000 points.

Peter guessed starting a new business. That was also close. We will be working for someone else’s business, but it is new to us. 1000 points to you too, Pete.

We came to realize this past week or two that we have been sort of on the mission field for the past year as we have traveled the country and touched so many lives and for that, Markie’s guess wins her 1000 points as well!

Now, to Sarah who guessed voting for Obama. A big fat ZERO points! Sorry about that. I hope you are alright with your points ; ) It looks like Chuck Baldwin will be getting our two votes and we will let God handle the outcome.

Amanda, you get 2 points for originality, but no, we aren’t moving to the moon to start a shoe factory. Thanks for playing and I hope you all enjoy the home version of the game just for playing along.

Now, the closest winners are:
Eddie for his guess of coming to Florida. It is only close because only Sadie and her daddy are going down to get our gooseneck trailer. Enjoy those whopping 10,000 points!

Katie also gets 10,000 points because where we are moving is less than 10 minutes from Arkansas and only three hours from Yellville!

Now the judges are still out as to whether or not Eddie should also get the 1,000,000 point grand prize for making an exact guess seeing as I had called and told the Dischers before he made that guess. But the real answer to “Guess What?” is…

We have moved to Oklahoma to become chicken farmers.

Well, I would not have guessed that in 100 years! I am so glad you will be rooted for a while! And Oklahoma is a wonderful state (of course, I tend to think every state is wonderful in its own way!)

God bless you as you settle and begin shining for Him in a totally new home!

Wow! I just tuned into your guessing game a little late, I suppose. Maybe I'm glad, cause you would have held me in suspense! Chicken farmers in OK - sounds quite exciting! What town?

Wonderful news! You're probably even closer than 3 hours. When Robert went to Springdale, it was just under 2 hours! Hope all goes well and if there is any way we can help you, please let us know *

*the aforementioned comment is not legally binding and does not in any way include the following actions: cleaning out chicken houses, disposing of carcasses, shoveling manure, dusting, worming, vaccinating or medically attending to chickens.

HAHAHA!!!! You knew the chicken jokes were going to start flying, so I thought I'd be the first one!

Seriously, we would GLADLY help y'all any way we can, chickens included!

Love,
The Millers

Thanks for the impressive points - but we're too "chicken" to accept them! (I know it's lame)

We're so extremely happy for you all that the Lord has worked in your lives to bring you into a place where your family can live an agricultural lifestyle as you had desired. Praise the Lord.

It will be a learning experience - that's for sure!

Love,
The Dischers
