Choose Obama Choose Death



From viewing this video on "Americas Choice Now" it has become clear that a vote for Obama is a vote for the death of our culture as we know it now. It will give any woman, or any age girl the right to an abortion at any stage in the pregnancy. This gives a woman the right to murder as unborn child even up to the point of full term delivery. Please help me in getting the word out about Obama's Pro-Choice stand.

Thanks for your time.

The Messiah?

I came across a very interesting web site this morning making claims that Barack Obama is the messiah. He has not said it in his own words, but several people including Fararrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam in the United States, have called him the messiah.

I found the articles on this blog to be very informative and thorough in giving their sources. Obviously they are making an impact as many of the links mysteriously vanished after being covered in this blog. I realize I should cover both sides of this story, but have not found a site excepts snopes.com that will deny Obama as messiah. If anyone reading this post knows of one I'll be happy to add it as a full blog entry.

This was one of the most interesting entries on the site: http://barackobamaantichrist.blogspot.com/2008/10/full-story_09.html

Not that the rest of it wasn't worth reading.

I don't really care who you vote for, but I hope this will persuade you that voting for Obama is a bad idea.

Fun with search engines.

Did you know that you can use a search engine to take a rough poll of peoples opinions? It's quite fun to do, except when the general opinion is against yours. Then it kind of sucks.

Below you will find a graph generated by me to guess the election results. It looks like if Sarah Palin were to run for President she would win by a land-slide. But McCain is holding her back.
This poll is done by counting the number of web pages that contain the candidates name followed by sucks, rules, or rocks. These numbers are then totaled and graphed below. It seems that people equally hate and love Obama, everybody likes elections and Jesus, more people hate McCain than like him, but a majority of people love Sarah Palin.

Kind of fun to look at.

Exciting Week

This has been a very eventful week in my life. I am speaking with a Pastor about taking on a youth pastor position at his church. I am excited about the possibility, but not going to be disappointed if he choses a different person for the position. I have given it over to God and his timing. It has been a dream of mine to be a youth pastor since leading campfire services at a youth camp when I was thirteen. I am also trying to start a U13 girls soccer team for the Rolla Area Home School Athletics Association (RHAA) with a first tournament coming up the end of November.

I know it sounds like a lot to put on my plate, but I love staying busy. Be praying for my and my family as we are trying to do what we feel God is calling us too. We will be meeting the pastor of the church this Sunday and having lunch with his family. I am very excited about the opportunity.

Another Second Place Trophy



I don't have a team picture to place here yet, but Allysa's U11 Soccer team placed second in the Thompson's Fall Classic It was another dis-appointing game. They lost 1-0 because of a quick score by the opposing team about midway through the second half. The fought their little hearts out trying to score and kept shooting either just outside the goal, or ringing the goal posts. It was another one of those games where the team appeared to dominate the game, but still lost.

The tournament was based on a point system and they took second being down by only 2 tournament point so they shouldn't be too upset. The went into their last game 6 points ahead of the competition. The Nixa Raptors received 8 tournament points for shutting us out. If we had scored a goal we would have won the tournament by 6 points. They played excellent soccer. Allysa assisted on one goal and missed the shot on three others. She played on the best soccer games I have seen her play on Saturday and Sunday.

I am one proud dad.

Finally A Gold Medal

Erin's U13 Recreational Soccer team took the season undefeated. They received trophy's and gold medals for their accomplishments. Erin played several positions for the team including goal and striker. She scored some goals this season, and blocked some goals as goalie. I feel bad that I only got to watch two of her games because of scheduling conflicts with Elijah and Allysa playing competitive soccer. It's just one of the bad parts about being the oldest. If everyone else has something going on you get dropped of for your games and left to enjoy time with your friends, but nobody gets to see you play.

I wish I could clone myself and not have to miss important events in my children's lives, but at least I get to celebrate their victories with them.

Signed,

One proud Dad.

I get it "Air Ride" --Allysa

Check out the holes in the back of this truck. If you look real close you will see that the truck says "Air Ride" on it. Allysa saw the truck and said, "I get it 'Air Ride'" It was just one of those things that had to be shared.

Taking the Silver


Above is a picture of a bunch of boys who are happy to have won the silver, but very disappointed that they lost the final game to the same team that beat them in the Show Me games earlier this year. Both times the boys way outplayed the Jefferson City Lightning, but came up short on goals. This group of boys didn't allow a single shot on goal the entire second half of the game, and shot nearly twenty times but still lost the game 2-0 because of a couple of lucky shots early in the first half.

The boy with his head in his hands, Cole, is our goalie. He let the goals get past and felt like he lost the game for us. He was just too short to stop the second goal which managed to slip in just about an inch above his hands as he jumped to stop the goal. The first goal slipped past two defenders and came in on the ground just past him.
The biggest disappointment for the team was that they have only lost two games since they started playing as a team and both of them were to the Jefferson City Lightning. I guess that will have to our teams rival now. We won't be happy until we beat them.

A Beautiful Day at Lion's Club Park

It was a beautiful day to spend at the park with the kids. I am very glad for the swing about 20 feet from the parking lot that allowed me to enjoy the park with the kids. Fall is so near we probably won't have many more days like this.

Guard Rail Damage.

I finally got around to posting the pictures of the guardrail that destroyed my car.

This part was in the car. That is the glass from my door scattered on it.

This part was broken off of the guardrail prior to it entering the car.

See that sticker on the guardrail, that was the label from the fuse panel under the dash about 10 inches from my leg. This is the part of the guardrail that was over my lap.

See the broken end. This is where the bumper that is supposed to curl the guardrail hit the end of the next section of guardrail and stopped moving. The guardrail should have been overlapped in the opposite direction allowing the bumper to continue to slide and curl the guardrail.

This is the overall scene after the accident.

See the hunk of my car, I believe that is the padding from the back of Ange's seat still stuck on the guardrail.
