Jury Duty

Jay is serving the great state of Cal-eee-for-neee-uh tomorrow. We just made the call to see if he needed to arrive and I kid you not this is what they said:

"Due to the extreme budget crisis in the state of California each juror needs to bring their own blue or black ink pen."

Ohimigosh!

That is when you know you are screwed! Our government can't even afford pens!

Hilarious!

Saturday

Good Day today.

Went to my brother's yard sale...they are moving to Maine. I'm sad, but happy for them and the new adventure as well.

Re-arranged the Living Room to prepare for the Christmas tree in a few weeks. (No...we are not jumping on board the commercialistic, capatilistic push to begin celebrating Advent in JULY...It's just we pulled the couches out to mop the areas under the couch that God himself dare not travel to...and in so doing realized I'm just too lazy to find the time to pull all the furniture out again in two weeks...satisfied!?!)

Went to Target with the kids and man.

Kids and Man bought tacos for dinner from the Bell...I'm gonna opt for the healthier leftovers...

Kids taking baths...

It is SO LOUD in my house at bedtime...

I'm tired, ready to crash...or drink.

Heard from the Friends again today...alwaya SO good to hear from them. Miss them SO MUCH!!!

Weekends - can't get enough of 'em...can't get enough done in 'em either.

Best part though...I am really happy. My family is so freakin' cool.

Bye.

GO VOTE!

Go do it.

Ted Haggard

Sounds like the making of "Wag the Dog 2" to me...uh...to know what goes on behind the scenes? No thanks.

Politics.
Power.
Money.
Sex.
Pride.
America.


Pray for the Haggard family...whatever the truth is, what they are going through is BRUTAL. And...

Don't forget to Vote tomorrow.

Re-Post

I decided to re-post this picture...since it it partly what (I believe) led to Jay being "fired" from his last job. ENJOY the laugh!

As you can see I do not take to a LITERAL reading of this passage. But clearly...some do.

Oh! and for the record...I HATED the movie Brokeback Mountain (it was so bad I fell asleep to it)...but apparently that post had to be removed by my "evangelical Big Brother" a few months back too.

What else?...Oh yes, I am not afraid to say that on occasion I like to enjoy a glass of wine, a bottle of Sam Smith beer, or (like last night) an exquisit X-Rated Cosmo Martini at Chadaka Thai!...But apparently that was inappropriate to post as well...

So for the record...yes, I am a sinner...but I have been and am being redeemed...and yes, I am living in this REAL world. My head is out of the sand. And I like my life and make no appologies.

And that's why we are out of the ministry for now, forever?, and for who knows how long.

(Great times last night M&M! Press on! God is breathing new life back into your dry and weary bones. He is faithful. He is good. )

Hobbits, Elves and Men

Here are a few picks from Halloween:

Samwise Gamgee, Frodo, (Eddie the dog,) and Aragorn son of Arathorn.

The beautiful Elven Maiden, Arwen.
