Political Theft

Everyone says that politicians are crooks. Today, my bank card had been hacked and used to purchase things online. Some of the things purchased where electronics and webgear. The surprising thing charged was a $5 donation to BarackObama.com. Now we all know how these crooks get their money.

Christmas Considerations

THIS is the season of the year when, whether we wish it or not, we are compelled to think of the birth of Christ. I hold it to be one of the greatest absurdities under heaven to think that there is any religion in keeping Christmas-day. There are no probabilities whatever that our Savior Jesus Christ was born on that day, and the observance of it is purely of Popish origin; doubtless those who are Catholics have a right to hallow it, but I do not see how consistent Protestants can account it in the least sacred. However, I wish there were ten or a dozen Christmas-days in the year; for there is work enough in the world, and a little more rest would not hurt laboring people. Christmas-day is really a boon to us; particularly as it enables us to assemble round the family hearth and meet our friends once more. Still, although we do not fall exactly in the track of other people, I see no harm in thinking of the incarnation and birth of the Lord Jesus. We do not wish to be classed with those

"Who with more care keep holiday
The wrong, than others the right way."

The old Puritans made a parade of work on Christmas-day, just to show that they protested against the observance of it. But we believe they entered that protest so completely, that we are willing, as their descendants, to take the good accidentally conferred by the day, and leave its superstitions to the superstitious.
(Dec 23, 1855 C.H. Spurgeon)

Ministry Getaway

Melody and I are leaving Lexvegas and heading to Denver for the weekend. It is exciting to have the opportunity for the two of us to go and meet some new potential church planters. We will be looking at houses in Centennial on Friday, meeting with potential core group members on Saturday, and having a core group meeting on Sunday. We are also looking forward to worshiping with friends Jason and Jennifer Janz and the Providence Bible Church in Downtown Denver in Sunday AM. Pray for us as we leave the girls in KY with Melody's parents. Also pray for opportunities to connect with potential core group members.

Just Another Day

WARNING: There is nothing incredibly exciting about this video -- at least to non-family members. Oh, and Gina from church, for whom Juliana has developed a fond affection. This is just another morning at home -- no bows, no cute dresses, and thankfully, no tantrums!


And here a just a few pics of the girls. NOTE: I think Juliana has FINALLY learned how to smile for the camera.
