Obama for President

I would not say that I am a McCain fan or even a supporter but I am certainly not an Obama supporter. I received this link in an email this morning and I am appalled. I do not believe every thing in the speech given by Obama is entirely in context (I may change my mind after viewing the complete speech) and certainly do not agree with all the narrator says. However, it is extremely upsetting to me to see one who claims to be a “Christian” and yet deals so crassly with the Word of God.

This is a sign of the times and how far the world has slipped in its morality. However, I would encourage you to study, pray and realize that we still live in a country where we are free to worship God not how we choose but how He (He being God) would have us. We are also to live as God would have us live. As long as we have these freedoms than we are more blessed than many of our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ around the world and should thank God daily for them.

It is ok to be upset by this and by the fact that the two choices for the presidency are so poor this go around but remember to count your blessings.

Please let me know what you think after watching the video.

Take Me Out to the Ball Game

A night with the Cards.

American Health Care

Just a thought. I know there are a lot of holes in this argument but here it goes...

Health care should be manditory in the USA. If you don't have any you will still be treated but will be slaped with a fine (just like neglecting to have car insurance). If you fail to pay then your wadges are garnished or thrown in jail. I realize not all can aford insurance but I truly believe health care cost will drop if hospitals did not have to over charge insurance companies to compinsate for those who did not have insurance or did not pay. It is ludicrous that I have to pay hundreads of dollars to compinsate for those who demand service then walk out on the bill. Why is car insurance mandatory but not health care. Keep in mind I did not say; nor do I anticipate ever saying, the government should provide it. Try that one on.

Work

Summer is quickly coming to a close and it has really gon by fast. So much has happned it is hard to believe I made it through.

To start the summer off I directed a week at Bible camp and the week went better than I could have asked for. There were around 40 kids and several studies resulted from the week. Judging by how another congregations week went shortly after ours, we wrer truly blessed. By the way, they had two snake bites (Copper Head and Rattler) and a twisted leg.

Three weks after camp we had the annual teen campaign that has been a tradition since the 70 (started by the legendary Mike King). There were 16 teens and 8 adults. We went to help out 4 Mile Hill church of Christ with Vacation Bible School. We knocked around 1000 doors in three days then helprd out 10 families with various jobs. This too went far better than I hoped. Most of the success goes to my brother Casey for setting up housing, food and jobs.

Finally, Arnolds VBS was last week and everyone sems to think it wentwell. I thought it was a VBS but the kids had a good time and the Gospel was taught and that is all you can ask for. (i'm not saying it went bad it's just hard to judge success sometimes when an event lik that takes place because everything is so spread out.)

What a summer!

Phelps is my new hero. He kicked butt in the 200m relay then 50 minute later spanked everyone in the 400m.

He is up three gold medals. I bet he gets all 8 he is comeating in.

I love the Olympics!

As Wayne and I perused the mall tonight with our Lady's I came across this sign in front of a bathroom. I find it funny and slightly inappropriate.

I found a way to keep this thing a little more up todate than what I have ben doing. Which means I will probably be posting a few mor pictures than what I am used to. I don't know if any one still reades this but at least it will make me feel beter.

How does this work?
