Let There Be Tile
Just another quick fireplace update. There will probably be several of these in the next week. We put up the tile on the front of the fireplace this evening. And yes, that is duct tape. The two pieces in the top middle needed some support. Nice, huh? Anyway, the next step is grouting the tile and then we will be on to the mantle. I am hoping to have the mantle done this week end. ...
Read MoreRenovations Update
There have been too few of these updates on what is going on with our renovation projects. That is a direct result of the speed at which these projects are going. Very slow. But there is progress nonetheless and we should be seeing the progress speed up. As you can see from the picture above most of the white paint that covered our fireplace has been scrapped off and some tile has been...
Read MoreTo Bail or Not to Bail
As the government draws closer to finalizing plans to bail out (read prop up) the financial system there is no shortage of commentators talking about it. I have already joined the fray but I will again briefly. I have heard several people saying that, as conservatives, they think people should have to bear the responsibility for their actions. I agree with this. If banks have given out...
Read MoreHeroes Season 3 Begins….
…with a bang! I have to say that after season 2 I was a little skeptical that they would return to the things that made season 1 so good. Let me first throw a warning out there. There is some content of sexual nature. This was present at the beginning of the first season as well but they got away from it. Hopefully they will do the same with the third. Like I said, the things from...
Read MoreFinger Pointing and its Problems
Some major players in the US financial market (and the world financial market) are crumbling before our eyes. We are facing government intervention on a massive scale. Who is paying for this? We, the American taxpayer are. Too bad most of us are just like babies. Our world is out of control! We flail, we cry, we scream, and then we get a bottle shoved in our mouth and we shut up. To...

Read MoreIt Feels Like Fall in Puerto Rico
No, I am not in Puerto Rico. The title just worked. You will see. I know that the weather won’t stay this cool for long, so I wanted to quickly capitalize on the coolness outside, cementing it in histroy by writing about it on my blog. I stepped out of my house this morning to a bisque fifty-something degrees. I absolutely love breathing in that cooler air. It is very...
Read MoreFishing for People
I had the opportunity this weekend to go with a bunch of guys from church on a trip to the metroplex area, to Cabela’s. Is there a better guy trip? I submit that there is not! We all piled in a van and headed out early in the morning. The purpose behind this trip was for people to get some things they needed for the annual fly fishing trip that men from my church take. Now, I have...

Read MoreThe Marriage Feast
The Sacred Marriage study Lacey and I are doing requires that we do a little homework. Part of that homework is reading the chapter from the book and part of it is answering some questions about the reading material. One of the questions asked us to think back to our wedding day. It asked us to think about how we felt about that day and how we could relate that to the marriage feast we have...
