Interesting and thought provoking

What does all of this mean to us about the urgency of spreading the Gospel? What do we need to do to adapt? What are your thoughts?

Fireproof

I watched Fireproof the other day and thought that it was a great movie. It has a tremendous clear salvation message and some great insights concerning marriage. The movie was made by a church in Albany Georgia which is the closest "big" town to where we live. I've been to the church that made the movie. It's kind-of weird to recognize all of the sites in the movie. My wife is doing clinical's at the hospital which is in the movie and will probably eventually work there and of course I make visits in the hospital all the time. By the way, it's the most secure hospital I've ever been in - I've been to a lot of hospitals but none are as safety crazy as this one...

Anyways, it's a great movie and I recommend it highly. I know a lot of people don't watch any movies because of the junk that is out there, and that's fine. However, I think movies like this one should be supported.

Sad to see him go...

I haven't always agreed with President Bush. At times I've been very disappointed. However, I do believe he has always tried to do his best for our country. He was faced with increadible problems from the very beginning of his Presidency. September 11 is a distant memory now, but can you imagine if Al Gore would have been our President following September 11th? It's a horrible thought to think of Al Gore being our President at all - let alone following 9/11! I'll never forget the fear and uncertainty that followed 9/11, but thanks to President Bush's leadership we have not had another major attack here in our country.

Most of us are tired of Iraq by now. Mistakes were made, unfortunately many brave people lost their lives fighting there. However, I believe President Bush went it to Iraq because knowing everything he knew, he believed it was in the best interest of our nation. Now Iraq and its people are much better off than before and have a great opportunity at freedom.

President Bush has had to deal with a media who has been out to destroy him from day one. They absolutely hated the fact that he was elected (twice) and they have done everything to make him look like a complete failure his entire Presidency. Unfortunately I'm afraid they've succeeded for the most part. Even people who once were a huge fan of Bush I have heard trash him and say horrible things about him. Again, I haven't agreed with him on many issues, but I don't think that he is deserving of some of the hateful things I've heard people say about him...

Anyways, I'm sad to see him leave the Presidency. Who knows what the next few years hold for us...? I do believe that someday we will have a better understanding and appreciation of President George W. Bush. Thank you President Bush (I know your reading my blog ;-) for giving of yourself and leading our nation for the past 8 years!

PETA’s new campaign

People For the Eating of Tasty Animals Ethical Treatment of Animals has a new goal. They want wants everyone to stop calling fish “fish” and start calling them “sea kittens.” Which led the Atlanta newspaper to ask, “Will the ’sea kittens’ change your mind about fish?” Someone responded with this comment, “No, but it will make me more likely to eat cat.” :-) That pretty much sums up my opinion about this!

So sad…

My heart has been so heavy since hearing about the tragic accident involving the Bigger family. Please pray for Brent during this horrific time. Here is a link to a video about the accident. By the way, there are a lot of news stories about this online and I find some of the comments people are making absolutely horrible!

Through It All

Black eye and burst ear drum…

Yes, my wife beat me up! Not really!! The burst ear drum came while flying out to South Dakota to visit my wife’s family and go hunting. The black eye came when I shot at a deer with a gun I had never fired before – unfortunately the eye relief on the scope was not right for me and the kick was a little more than I anticipated and the black and blue and bloody eye was the result. At first all I saw was black and I wondered if I would ever see again out of my right eye…the picture below is from a day or so later it wasn’t as bad looking as I figured it would be! The good news is that I did shoot two mule deer previous to this incident. I have no idea where this shot landed – other than the scope landed in my eye ball!

Great story!
