New Book

Onto the next book. A post modern book I received froma friend for my birthday. I am really gettinginto this book and I have to catch myself reading items again because it is wierd seeing thoughts from the last ten years appear on paper. So far I have have found it to be a refreshing book.

Other books I finished

Fraternity is a revealing book that made me want to learn more about Nixon.



The Long Goodbye about ripped my heart out. Most know how much I read on Reagan, and this book was painful. Reagan's daughter is telling the story and brings you right in the middle of the Alzheimer's battle.

Books that I have finished

Dr. Finney lent me this book. It reveals alot about things we don't hear on the tube. Latrell and the others in his SEAL team are the focus of this True Story.

All is calm on the western front

The Air Force is not so far on the horizon. This is a long time coming, and it will make it that much more important. The dream of serving my country is before me.

I am thankful for this opportunity!

20 Family Garage Sale

Well the garage sale was a success. With nearly 20 families in this sale, Jennifer is rethinking the location of the sales. The sales help the families out tremendously, however, traffic flow is a problem when it is extremely busy. So we are going to explores another house, maybe on Cambridge or Bristol.

Garage Sale

Mom is getting ready for another BIG garage sale. This is more stuff than I have ever seen. She will be happy to find a new and appreciative home for all of these items. Redistribution of wealth so to speak.

We got a postcard from Astrid today with a beautiful picture of Veracruz on the front.

Myrtle Beach is on the horizon.

Fishing trip I am planning for Jennifer

Here is a video of the fishing trip we are planning for the summer. Much quicker, less wait times, and only one type of bait.

As quick as they arrived; they left

For a few days we had the joy of hosting Astrid and Jessica. Both were wonderful and a blessing to have in our house. I can attest to the hardworking nature of both, both had charm, and full of personality.

Dylan enjoyed having them, especially Jessica read to them. Now Aubrey, put her in the room with older women and she goes crazy.

The show was awesome and I can say that in the twenty plus years of attending shows at the Missouri Theatre; their show was the most rocking and perhaps the most meaningful. I am not sure if is the fact that I am anticipating many changes for our family, or the fact that I know from watching Astrid and Jessica & Cecile and Rachel come home so tired.

Wow, we have an amazing God and once again he has amazed me with his love. As Easter approaches I am thankful for the grace he has extended to us so that we may glorify him. May we continue to build his kingdom here on earth. May the Gospel be spread to all the ends of the earth, for if they do not hear............

Getting ready for our house guests

Jennifer and I are excited about hosting two people with Up With People International. They will be staying with us Monday thru Thursday. Their big performance at the Missouri Theater is on Wednesday.

New pictures

I don't know how many times I have thanked God for my children and my wife. I must have the longest consecutive streak of waking up feeling like I have been dealt a Full House. These are the pictures Jennifer got of the kids. I just quit going, because then she tries to make me pick which one is the best. "Forget that" is what I think, give me something easy like trying to explain E=mc^2 to the kids of about hyperinflation in Zimbabwe; picking one of those pictures as the keeper is alot tougher and I will just keep letting Jennifer do it.
