My boss was offended that I sent this to everyone, but him. Hey Neue, I thought you would get a kick out of this one!

We found one!

Yeah, that's right. We found a house, offered and it was accepted last night about 9:30pm. Thank you to those that prayed for us! Large backyard, play structure, playhouse and deck. And most important, 5 minutes from both school and work instead of 25 minutes. Yahoo!Pictures will come later.

House Hunting

We just sold our house the day before Easter and soon will be without a home come April 22nd so please pray for guidance and peace about us finding a home. If you don't know the details, here is the skinny. We found a home 30 seconds from the kids school that seemed perfect. Made an offer, but offer was rejected because sellers did not want to wait for our house to sell. We put our house on the market the next day and then sold it that night. Made another offer with no contingency, but were too late. Someone swooped in and snagged the home we wanted. That is how we got to where we are now. Please pray, we are tired of looking!

Pope John Paul II

The Pope just recently passed away and if you don't know that you must live on Mars. He has sure had alot of coverage lately. Seems like almost every channel has had something to say about it. Cris was reading an article on MSN and it said that the "Holy Father", the Pope, went to be with his Holy Father. I'm not planning on blowing this out of proportion, but does that bother anyone else? The Pope as the Holy Father? Cris has been reading the book of Matthew and that night she looked up at me and said, "listen to this. Matthew 23:9 - Do not call anyone on earth your father: for One is your Father He who is in heaven." We found it pretty wild.

Delirious? - Shaken Up - lyrics below I'm shaken up, I'm falling down I'm feeling like the rug's been pulled Beneath my feet, there's shifting ground I'm reaching out, I need your hand. I'm calling out to you, embrace me again I'm crying out to you, come meet me again I'm waiting here, in my living room I'll play for you and I'll yell like a madman Come sing to me like a father would And still my heart with your melodies I'll suffocate, won't you let me out I'm asking you where's the treasure now Oh, you have my heart, only you can know I'm still searching more now than I've ever searched before. That's it. I love this song. Great lyrics, completely annointed. Anybody have a song or songs that burn into their soul? Please share.

Indiana Jones #4. Could this be true?

Meteor in the sky!

My family just happened to be at the mailbox when this thing flew across the sky. After realizing that "fireworks don't get that big", I must admit that fear entered me as I thought that this could be a nuclear bomb. Thank God I was wrong! The meteorite was metallic green and flying at 45 miles/second. I cannot even fathom that speed. The only thing that I can relate it to is when I was a teenager and I would blow by D or Neue in my driveway playing basketball. They must of felt that kind of speed soaring past them. Anyway, it was awesome to say the least! Anyone else have some cool sightings?
