7 Things
Obviously there were a LOT of things about Hurricane Ike that got really old after 15 days of no electricity, but on the positive side…
7 Things I Liked About Ike (in no particular order):
1- Playing Battleship with Greg on the porch because it was brighter outside than inside
2- Good sleep. Going to sleep when the sun went down and waking up when the sun came up did a body good.
3- Feeling Amish. When cell phone service didn’t work, the only way to talk to our family was to get in a buggy and ride to their house to talk to them.
4- Getting to know really nice neighbors.
5- Family time. I love them lots!!
6- A Gas Stove. It’s going to take a while before I can eat chicken noodle soup again.
7- The hurricane got to the brain – Before going to bed, Greg would point the flashlight to the ceiling and the light would be the hurricane and the vent would be our house. It was a nice bedtime story.

this made my day
I may be one of the last people on earth to find out that you can Google an address and not just get an aerial view, but an actual, physical “street view”!

Powerful
This video from Hillsong Church has an amazing story behind it. The lady (with the light blue shirt) who sings this song called Desert Song had a child born premature who later didn’t survive. She sang it for this video not long after her tragedy. It’s powerful. -Greg |
my thoughts on politics lately
I watched Sara Palin’s speech the other night. I thought that she did a good job under all the pressure from the liberal media. It’s unbelievable how lopsided this election is. They are lying to you and they do not care that they are.
God is not Democrat or Republican, but the principles of each party can be backed up or thrown away if one uses the Bible as a filter for the positions that each candidate takes. I’m afraid that Christians do not read the Bible and therefore have a distorted world view of the issues.
I’m not sure how Christians support Democrats. I know that there are many issues to vote on; however, the party almost completely believes in abortion. They do not believe that babies in the womb hold intrinsic value and worth. Some (Obama) actually believe in partial birth abortion. He believes that it’s okay to kill a baby in the last trimester and holds it to “woman’s choice”. Since when did women or men get to decide who lives and who dies? They do this because they do not believe that this child has value before it’s delivered. Killing a child in the womb to me is the same thing as killing a 24 year old man. Every life has intrinsic value – we should not as a society kill people who have a disease or disregard human life at all. DEMOCRATS believe in giving women the choice to kill children. OBAMA WILL APPOINT LIBERAL JUDGES WHO WILL UPHOLD THIS SYSTEM! We rightly care about the AIDS epidemic in Africa (by the way Bush has designated a tremendous amount of money to that cause) and we rightly care about the genocide in Rwanda, but why don’t we care about the genocide of unborn children in our own country? 40 million lives have been taken since Roe v Wade – why would any Christian support Obama who voted numerous times to uphold abortion and voted numerous times in support of partial birth abortion?
People hate Bush because he went to war in Iraq based on intelligence that almost every Democrat read and agreed with Bush. There may have not have found weapons of mass destruction, but the brave men and women of the military freed 40 million people from a brutal murdering dictatorship, and in the process opened up Iraq to the Gospel. The truth is that hundreds of people are being converted from Islam to Christianity in Iraq and you will not hear that on NBC or CNN, because they do not want you to know that. They do not want you to hear about this because there is a war going on. The war is between secular progressives and traditionalists. In America there are people who do not want God in any circle. They constantly mock Jesus and Christians without anyone in the media standing up and saying this is wrong. The New York Times will plaster reports all over the front pages of their paper if anyone does anything to offend Islam, however, attacks on Christianity are buried in the 20th page if mentioned at all.
Here is the latest example. Sarah Palin, a traditionalist and professed Christian, is nominated and immediately the left wing media doesn’t know what to do. They immediately make up lies about Sarah and her son who has a special need. They claimed that it was actually her daughter’s son without any evidence or journalism to back it up. One of the main culprits of this is a website called The Daily Kos. It is a site filled with hate and smears directed against conservatives. Not many people know about this website but they are consistently lying and trashing people who have values and uphold America’s traditions founded by our forefathers. A big wig at Newsweek blogs on the Daily Kos website. Newsweek is a magazine that is dominated by Left-wing people and not many people know that. Obama, Hillary Clinton, and John Edwards all attended a Daily Kos convention. The main stream media will not report this.

happy friday
Tomorrow, I’m going to work and Greg’s going to his first baby shower. I wish I could be there to see this. I wanted to go, but it turns out I couldn’t go because of work.
This week I came across this website, yearbookyourself.com. It takes a photo of your face and places it underneath some crazy hairstyle from years past. It’s hilarious. I could possibly lose my graphic design cred by showing this because if you look closely, my ear is on my cheek.
