Total Lunar Eclipse

I saw my first Total Lunar Eclipse tonight in the bitter cold temps in the single digits. The sky was cloudless and the stars were in their full beauty.

1st Place at Awana Quizzing

Our Awana Quizzing teams were able to capture 1st and 3rd place in T&T Book 2 today. There were 11 teams participating in book 2 and nearly 40 total teams from the Springfield, Ohio area. Major congratulations are in order for our T&T'rs. They put much effort and many practices into this endeavor. This was their first Awana quizzing meet and the first Quizzing meet for our church at Emmanuel Baptist in years. For the record we sent 2 1/2 teams for just book 2 and the event was staffed by perhaps the best Awana ministry team ever assembled.

Project Updates

Danielle and I have been busy working on projects in our new house. The major undertaking at the moment in removing the old torn wallpaper from the dining room. Man, that stuff was stuck on strong. Danielle and Rachel put many hours into it. I think I put about 30 minutes into it and had enough. Patrick helped me get the microwave installed. I'm been busy with other small but numerous tasks such as taxes and putting lights on and collecting old silver coins and maps. Lily has been busy learning to say mama, eating new foods, and attempting to crawl. Enjoy the pictures.

Get Your Tax Refund While to Government Still has Money

Danielle spotted this sign while we were driving in Xenia last night. I had to ride my bike today a get a picture of it.


This perhaps is the best sign I have seen in 2008, a true sign of our political times. I'm not sure what they are trying to tell us. Is this a prophecy? Are they Ron Paul supporters? Are they simply trying to get your attention? I did motivate me to finish my taxes today. At any rate, the sad fact is that the government is out of money and we have to borrow money from China or turn on the money printing press. Beware of hyperinflation.

Ron Paul Speaks at Liberty University

Once again Dr. Paul delivered a powerful message about the importance of life, liberty, peace, small government and sound money. The first 4 and half minutes are his speech is amazing. It's includes him talking about his salvation and his prolife views on abortion. If you want you can listen to his whole speech here.

New phone number

After 8 months in Ohio, I guess it is about time to get a local number. Email me if you want our new phone number.
