I find it odd that there's not more news about the war in Iraq. When things were going poorly, the mainstream media couldn't get enough of it. Now that a deal has been reached for all combat troops to be out by 2011 and no troops in Iraqi cities by next summer, you hardly hear ...

A Few Links to Check Out
I don't know if you heard about this story. Now here is part two. I agree with Dustin's thoughts on the situation. Drudge is where I get all my news info. Great for during the political conventions which no one seems to be watching. Finally, have you ever wondered,"What happened to the guy ...
2 hours left before school begins
The girls go today for their first meeting with their teacher. One at 1:15 and the other at 1:30. I haven't gotten emotional yet. I'm sure that will come tomorrow when they go a full day. Then they are off Wednesday and Thursday before returning Friday. Then, Monday is Labor Day so we won't really ...
Sunday Afternoon
Hey, just wanted to catch up real quick... 1. We had 55 kids at our lock-in Friday night. Got to meet a lot of new teens and was pleased with how many of the new 6th graders attended. It's the first time I've ever run out of soda at a lock-in, but we did have leftover ...
9 years and still going strong…
Well, today is mine and Karen's 9th anniversary. It has been an amazing journey. 9 years ago to the minute I was sitting in the First Wesleyan Church library wondering where my fiance was. Knowing that her friends and bridesmaids had taken her to see "Runaway Bride" the night before did not bode well in ...
So Many Topics So Little Time
Enjoyed Cody's post on the Daniel Fast. Gonna talk to Karen about it and try to start it soon. Put the Saddleback Presidential Forum on DVD. Enjoyed it and thought there was a definite contrast in the worldviews of the two candidates. Been thinking and praying a lot about this election. I am currently "unaffiliated" ...
It's been too long so you get a two parter
First a review: 1. Carowinds was great. The rides made me feel very unsafe. Now, that's either because the rides are actually unsafe or that they did a good job of creating that illusion. Either way, all of the rides were adrenaline pumpers. Also, it was SC Baptist Youth Day at Carowinds with Mercy Me. It's ...
Hump Day
1. Well, I am getting ready for youth tonight. We are doing a series on Acts and looking at what our youth group needs to be like to reach our schools and community for Christ. I've got all my messages mapped out thru Christmas and now I'm trying to get all the worship stuff mapped ...
Monday Monday
Here's the dealio... 1. The medicine that is supposed to make me sleepy has actually kept me up 3 of the 4 nights I've taken it, but I haven't felt tired or anything and my cough is slowly getting better. 2. We had two amazing services yesterday. God is moving. He is already working. The New Orleans ...
Thank You, Mr. Ramirez
When the Red Sox signed Manny Ramirez to an 8 year $160 million contract they had three goals in mind. 1. Break the curse of the Bambino. 2. Break the Yankees. 3. Break the bank at the box office. In his almost 8 years in Boston, Manny helped the Sox accomplish all three. That's why I say, it was ...
