Update ..to the Minute ...Almost

Well here are some quick updates .
My wife and I celebrated our 21st anniversary on the 14th of this month. Quiet time , we went out to dinner and just enjoyed each others company .
Then on the 15th I turned 45. Yes I was married a day before my birthday . Great really because as I get older it will always help me remember . OK just kidding.
My oldest son is going to be baptized Sunday.
We got walloped by a heavy storm today and it took almost 3 hours to dig out our drive way.
Well that is all the news worth commenting on . Soon it will be countdown to Christmas. My next post I will list my all time favorite Christmas CD's . Till then don't hold your breath , my tip for the day.

The Messiah Draws Nigh...

Well with the election to the south of me it seems the messiah will be announced tonight. Yes that statement is full of sarcasm. But it seems to me as I have watched Obama's followers , there is almost a messianic quality to the passion they have for his candidacy. However realistically there is no way he can deliver the promises he has talked about , nor will his empty rhetoric work once he has to run the most powerful country in the world . With all the turmoil going on in the world , I think McCain would be the better choice but the Bush shadow has lingered over Obama's rise to the throne. On a level playing field I really believe McCain would mop the floor with Obama. What bothers me the most about his candidacy and probable ascension to the White House, is that we have a man who supports not only abortion , a crime against humanity but a man who publicly supports infanticide . But if he is elected the bottom line is God is still on the throne and Christ is still king and one day unless Obama changes his views and repents , he will answer for his positions on abortion and the promotion of gay rights . May the Lord indeed change this mans mind on these issues and bring him wisdom that comes form the one who is the truth , the life and the way .
