For most of us, the weeks between Football Day (also known as Thanksgiving) and Present Day (also known as Christmas) are spent in a frenzied rush of consumerism - we salivate over the ads and feast on what they offer like Dracula in a room of virgins. This, of course, is interrupted only […]

As we do not have one in our current digs, we are really noticing the absence of a fan in our room.  We usually go to sleep with one, and it sure does help - Stella is used to one as well.  We’ve also noticed in a lot of hotels/motels that they have replaced the […]

The Sunday before this past Sunday I had the privilege to baptize the baby of my dear friends the Hales. Bryce and Ashley lived above us during Seminary and Bryce and I were practically conjoined twins for three years. Little Ezra is a cutie, go congratulate them on his awesomeness.

1. Will you start listening to Travis singing ‘Why does it always rain on me?’
No.  I don’t know if I’ve ever listened to Travis.  I know they were cool for a couple of minutes…but I think I was sleeping.  I will, however, listen to PIL’s “Seattle” - which rocks.

It’s 2:30 in the AM, but I think Sarah and I are pretty happy with the progress made today.  In short - our to-do list has been shortened to the following:
1. Get rug for Stella’s floor (we’ve painted it white, with the beadboard and everything it makes it very cottage-y).

The Bible among objects prohibited at the 2008 Beijing Ol*mpics
As the above article states, Bibles are to be prohibited within the Ol*mpic Village at next year’s Ol*mpic Games.  I’ve got to say - this is ridiculous.  The Chinese are claiming “security reasons” for not allowing “religious symbols” at the Games.
