Winter

Here in Texas we don't get snow very often so when we do it is a treat. Here are the boys out enjoying our "wintery mix".

Greg Leaving The Wiggles

Four years ago I had no idea who The Wiggles are. Now, after having 2 boys under the age of 4 I am well aware of The Wiggles so when the news came out that Greg Page was no longer going to perform with the group for health reasons, I was a little shocked. For those of you that don't know, Greg is the front man, the leader and a founding member. I then read this.

Red Wiggle Murray Cook said he didn't think too many kids would notice the change.

"Children tend to center on one thing so if he's wearing the yellow skivvy (shirt), he's got black hair – he's pretty much Greg," he said.

Was this necessary? There is probably some truth in the statement but the man just spent 15 years dedicated to this and now you are saying he is easily replaced.

If you put a Red shirt on someone with brown hair and give them a guitar, he'd pretty much be Murray. How's that make you feel Murray?

Tony Romo Dating Jessica Simpson

Ok, this is just a cheap ploy to attrack search engines. Since Tony Romo took over as the quarterback for the Cowboys and I have written about it on my blog, his name is the most popular key words that people are putting in search engines and coming to my blog. It is amazing what it means to be the quarterback for America's Team.

By the way, Tony finally addressed the question of whether he was dating Jessica Simpson and he is denying it.

Flashbacks to Childhood

Last night the boys discovered a collection of old Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars I had from my childhood. They wanted to play with them so we got them down and as they started pulling them out, I found myself being 12 years old again. Suddenly all sorts of memories came flooding back and I really became thankful that I have boys. Now, I get to watch them have those same experiences.

Christmas Lights

I have never been someone who decorated the outside of their house with Christmas lights. While I always liked having the inside of the house decorated, I never got motivated to put lights on the outside. That was until I had kids.

Seth was almost one when he had his first Christmas and as I had done in the past, I didn't decorate the outside of the house. But, as we drove around at night or walked our neighborhood he got great enjoyment from looking at the lights so I promised him we would decorate our house the following year.

Well, this is the third year now we have put lights outside and I think everyone is enjoying it. It isn't that much work for me to do it and the boys love it. Every night they wait anxiously for the sun to go down and for the lights to kick on. I really love watching their enjoyment. Our neighbors have out done us a little this year and have placed some moving reindeer in their yard so I may have to kick it up a notch next year.

Marathon Update

It is now less than two weeks until the marathon and I am officially in what is called "the taper". I am now running fewer miles and trying to have my body heal and recover. My goal of running a Boston Marathon qualifying time seems to be a little unrealistic based on my most recent runs. I am going to go out and make sure I finish but try and shoot for at least a personal best.

Facing The Giants

Shelley and I went and saw Facing The Giants this weekend and if you haven't seen it I encourage you to do so. I challenge anyone to walk out from seeing this movie and not feel good and if you are a Christian, you will find your faith strengthened just a little bit more.

This movie was made by Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany, Georgia. The entire cast were volunteers and they used rented equipment including just one camera.

I'm Back

I have taken several days off from posting but now it is time to saddle up again.

This was Thanksgiving week and I have been home for the majority of it thus getting to spend time with my boys. Also, my mother was here and we got to visit but more importantly she got to spend time with the boys. I really like to watch the boys when they get to be with my mother, they really enjoy seeing her.

This Thanksgiving we stayed at our house and I don't even remember the last time I did that. We usually go to either Shelley's grandmother's house or to my mom's but this time we did it here. This always poses the problem of food so Shelley and I tried an experiment and actually ordered a prepared meal from a local grocery store. My two thoughts on it are first, it wasn't that bad but I wish you could select the quantity and which side items you wanted. We all agreed that we wish we had more sweet potatoes and less mashed potatoes. My second thought is that even though it was already made it wasn't that easy to do. It took about 2 and half hours to prepare every thing and we didn't have enough oven space because everything had to be heated in the oven.

I then got to watch my Cowboys on my own tv and that was a treat for me. But, I'm not sure what I prefer either going somewhere and having the food made for me and sharing watching the game with everyone else or making my own food and watching the game on my own tv.

The highlight of this week for me was on Friday when we got out the Christmas decorations. We started by putting up the tree and the boys were very interested in helping. Also, the fact that my mom got to participate made it even more special. After we put up the tree, I went out and started putting the outside lights up. I had some initial help but everyone decided a walk around the neighborhood seemed like a better idea. But when the sun went down both boys were delighted with the lights and we even had a tough time getting them to come inside.

Saturday included Shelley and I getting out and being by ourselves. We went to Toys R Us to look around and then we went and saw a movie. The day ended by us going to church where we had our family picture taken for this years Christmas card and we had a wonderful service and taking communion.

This was a really great Thanksgiving this year.

Cowboys 38, Bucs 10

This was a big win because it was a game they were suppose to win and they went out and did it.

This was another game where Romo looked good which is encouraging. You can see his confidence as well as the team's confidence growing.

Another important point was they only had a few penalties.

Vanderjact looked iffy again and I'm afraid we will lose a close game because he missed a field goal.

Now we need to have Tennessee beat the Giants this weekend and then we need to go to New York and beat the Giants.

Thanksgiving

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving so I thought I would make a list of a few things I am thankful for.

1. God sent Jesus to die on the cross for my sins.
2. Shelley
3. Seth and Chase
4. The fact that we all have our health.
5. For the roof over our head and the food on our table.
6. For my mother being here on Thanksgiving.
7. For Shelley's mom and the fact she just had the boys for 4 days.
8. The financial security we currently enjoy.
9. God is bringing change into my life.
10. That when both of our cars got flats these past two days that it didn't leave any of us stranded.
11. Fellowship Church
12. This awesome country we live in and the fact that I was blessed to be born here.
13. The soldiers that have fought and died for our freedom and the ones currently fighting and protecting our freedoms.

Who knew?

Yesterday I was having a conversation with a co-worker who lives in another state and it transitioned to what we would be doing for Thanksgiving. He said he was travelling to a relative's house and I commented that we were staying home and while the food wouldn't be as good as if we went to Shelley's Grandmothers but I would get to watch the Cowboy game in the quiet of my own living room.

He replied, "The Cowboys play Thursday?"

I paused thinking he had to be kidding and then I realized he wasn't. "What do you mean, the Cowboys play every Thanksgiving" I responded. "They have been playing on Thanksgiving Day for 40 years". (I find it appropriate that they started playing on Thanksgiving the year I was born)

He claimed he had no idea the Cowboys played on Thanksgiving day. "Why should I know that, I don't live in Dallas?" he said.

There are some givens in this world, the sun comes up in the morning, the sun goes down at night and the Cowboys play on Thanksgiving day.

I guess we both learned something yesterday.

Gingrich - The Stealth Candidate

The current issue of Fortune has an interesting article regarding Newt Gingrich and his potential Presidential candidacy.

Newt is essentially trying to build an interest at a grass roots level before making any formal declaration that he is running.

"I'm going to tell you something, and whether or not it's plausible given the world you come out of is your problem," he tells Fortune. "I am not 'running' for president. I am seeking to create a movement to win the future by offering a series of solutions so compelling that if the American people say I have to be president, it will happen."

Another interesting quote was regarding other Republicans who are considered potential candidates.

"Nice people," Gingrich says of his GOP competitors. "But we're not in the same business. They're running for president. I'm running to change the country."

Read the article here.

Federal Firearms License

Yesterday I received my federal firearms license. For more background you can read this post.

Now my big challenge will be getting signed up with some distributors and manufactures to be a dealer. As with most things they want established dealers and not start ups. I've identified a long list and I'm sure I will receive a lot of rejections but it will just take one to give me a shot.

Cowboys 21, Colts 14

One word, WAHOOOOO!

This was a big win for the Cowboys because they showed they could beat a good team.

Again, Tony Romo's play is a positive. The defense played incredible and were able to make some big plays. Finally, the whole team actually looked like they came to play.

Now, on the negative side were the penalties. They played the 2nd half with only 1 penalty and it showed what they can do if they aren't giving away yardage. And then there is Mike Vander"clank". He has had an incredible career but he better improve or I am hoping he will get cut.

Now, we need to follow this big win by not having a let down on Thursday. If we don't win Thursday then this win won't be nearly as big.

Case for Guns

Here is an excellent article called a Case For Guns that was in the New York Sun. This is straight from Bloomberg and Hillary country. The author asks:

How often do we have to read about an estranged wife or girlfriend getting gunned down by her ex? Enacting more gun laws hasn't protected women in this city. Maybe instead of going after the gun manufacturers, our mayor should be trying to enact legislation to toughen stalker laws and to increase the penalties for those who violate orders of protection. How about offering self-defense classes or gun permits and firearms training to battered women before they become death statistics?

Read the article here.

Draft Newt 08

Shelley and I are hoping that Newt Gingerich will run for President in 2008. As we look at the current potential candidates: Rudi Giuilani, John McCain and Mitt Romney, we don't see anyone that is a true Reagan Conservative. We see that candidate being Newt and we are wanting to raise awareness to encourage Newt to run in '08. Shelley has created a Meet Up group that people who share the same interest can join and in the future we will have opportunities where everyone can get together. If you are interested in joining the group then go here.

We just saw Newt on FoxNews this morning and he said he would discuss his potential candidacy beginning in September 2007. I am encouraged that he isn't dismissing the possibility.

Dallas Cowboys' Stadium

The Cowboys finally released the plans for the new stadium and here is a picture of what the stadium will look like.

chase, chaSE, CHASE!

chase, chaSE, CHASE! This is something you will hear often in our house. Here are a few things that have happened in the last day and a half.

He opened the pantry door so hard that the door stop knocked a hole in the door.

Yesterday, I got a call at work from Shelley wanting to know if I had any suggestions on how to get coins out of the toilet. Apparently Chase threw a whole hand full into the toilet. She got all of them out except for a few. We can hear them and know where they are but we can't get to them. So, if you buy our house in the future, just beware.

The other night he climbed up on the ottoman and started jumping. I caught him just as he was about to land head first into the train table. He then looked at me as if I had just ruined all of his fun.

Then today he managed to put his hand right into the middle of an ant hill. He got bit at least ten times on his little hand.

Just pray that we all survive until he is two.

Rejection

One thing I struggle with is dealing with rejection. I know most people don't like rejection but it really seems to rock my world. I have had periods of unemployment where I was looking for a job and the constant rejection really lowered my self esteem and confidence. Then when my first wife asked for a divorce, this was the ultimate rejection. Also, there have been times when I wanted something and have been denied and I felt that I was personally being rejected. A lot of these feelings have come rushing forward for me as I face the prospect of looking for a new job. I am not excited about facing the inevitable rejection I am going to receive.

Shelley and I are taking a class studying the "Revolutionary" aspects of Jesus and his ministry. Last night as we sat in class and listened to the things Jesus did and how it rocked the world of the Jews and the religious leaders of that time I couldn't help think about the rejection Jesus experienced. He eventually experienced the ultimate rejection as they had him arrested and crucified.

I know God is opening this new chapter in my life for a reason and I will more than likely experience rejection in the process, I just hope I am able to focus on Jesus as I go through it.

Therefore I rejoice that I have confidence in you in everything. - II Corinthians 7:16

A Tangled Web I Have Woven

Several weeks ago Shelley and I implemented a program of giving Seth stickers for doing activities that he struggles with like picking up his toys. If he gets all the stickers for a week, then he would get a surprise. His first surprise was a Thomas the Tank Engine Lego Train Set .

This last week the movie Cars came out on video and Seth expressed some interest in watching it so I told him we would rent it this past weekend. I also told him if he liked it we might make it his next surprise for getting all of his stickers. Well, at 8 am on Saturday morning Seth was ready to go get the movie. We explained that Blockbuster wasn't open yet but we would go as soon as it was. We left the house promptly at 10 am and headed out to Blockbuster. After going to two Blockbusters and finding that they didn't have any copies, I just told myself that if the third one didn't have any I would buy it and just tell Seth we rented it. How would he know the difference, right?

Buying it is exactly what I had to do but I kept up the ruse that I had only rented it. Seth really liked his "race car movie" so we told him that we would have to return the movie to the store since we had only rented it but if he got all of his stickers we would buy him a copy. My plan was just to stick it in a drawer and then the next time he earned his surprise, I would pull it out and give it to him.

On Sunday night we watched it before Seth was going to bed and when we finished I told him I was going to take it back to the store. My plan was working just as I had anticipated. But, then Seth threw me a curve ball when he told me that he wanted to take it back to the store. I pressed on saying that I would just take it back on my way to work but he would hear none of it.
He stated that mommy and he would take it back and he was very insistent. I was stumped and didn't know how to proceed so I just gave into his request.

Now, Shelley has to figure out how to make Seth think we are returning this movie we "rented".

Sorry honey!

Cowboys 27, Cardinals 10

First, I don't want to get too excited about this win because the Cardinals aren't very good. Second, we are in this pattern of win, lose, win, lose, win and until we break the pattern and win 2 in a row, there won't be much to be excited about.

Penalties were a problem again this week and if it doesn't improve, the Cowboys aren't going anywhere . Also, the injury to Greg Ellis could be big. If it is a torn achilles, then he is lost for the year. Finally, the drops by T.O. are getting to be concerning.

On the good side, though, Romo looked good for the 3rd week in a row and it seems we might have a starting quarterback. Despite the drops, T.O. did make some big catches and Crayton and Hurd also looked good.

Next week will be a big game and a win could really springboard the Cowboys forward.

Dallas Cowboys' Stadium Update

Here is the latest view of the Cowboys' new stadium. A judge has ordered that the Cowboys must release the plans for the stadium to the public so hopefully we will be getting more information soon. No date has been announced as to when they will release the plans, though.

Project Valour IT

I have teamed up and am providing support for Project Valour IT.

Project Valour-IT, in memory of SFC William V. Ziegenfuss, provides voice-controlled laptop computers to wounded Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines recovering from hand and arm injuries or amputations at home or in military hospitals. Operating laptops by speaking into a microphone, our wounded heroes are able to send and receive messages from friends and loved ones, surf the 'Net, and communicate with buddies still in the field without having to press a key or move a mouse. The experience of CPT Charles "Chuck" Ziegenfuss, a partner in the project who suffered severe hand wounds while serving in Iraq, illustrates how important this voice-controlled software can be to a wounded servicemember's recovery.

I am supporting the Air Force only because as of now they have the lowest donations amount. I like pulling for the underdog. I've added their status to my sidebar so you can view how they are doing.

I encourage you to support this cause and if you have a blog go to their website and you can join and get the code to add it to your site.

Happy Birthday to the United States Marine Corps

Date Night

Last night Shelley and I had another date night and if you remember our last date night started with a wonderful dinner at the food court in the mall. Well, I really out did myself, this time we went to an actual restaurant to eat. We ate at La Hacienda Ranch and had a good time but that wasn't how the night ended. We ended the night with a romantic walk, hand and hand, through the isles of Target. I know, I'm a romantic fool, what can I say.

Conservatives Lost but Not Conservatism

While many conservatives lost their election bids, the ideals of conservatism didn't lose. Here is a good post by Michelle Malkin.

Affirmative action in Michigan was eliminated, English was passed as the official language in Arizona, legalising domestic partnerships failed in Colorado and same sex marriages were banned in 6 states.

Mark Noonan writes here that this is a time for Republicans to take the offensive and force some democrats to vote on conservative ideals or risk losing their seat in 2008. He says

the President should propose another round of tax cuts, and defy the Democrats to vote against them; the Congressional GOP should move resolutions expressing support for victory in Iraq, and defy the Democrats to vote against them. We can very easily rock the Democrats back on their heels and force them to either abandon their base, or alienating the average American.

It is time to be as conservative as you can be.

A Fall To Grace

In the recent Relevant Magazine newsletter, Ed Young comments on the Ted Haggard scandal. You can read the article here but there are a couple of statments I want to reference.

While we talk a lot about God's inexhaustible grace and unconditional love, when it comes right down to it, we still believe that grace is exhaustible. We know that we owe our salvation to Christ's grace-giving work on the cross. But it doesn't take long before we trade in that boundless grace for the boundaries of the law.

In biblical terms, a fall from grace is not the sinner saved by grace who is caught in moral failure. That is a fall to grace. A fall from grace is the self-righteous person who tries to earn his or her salvation through the guise of moral living, declaring that Christ's work on the cross was unnecessary—at least for them.

I'm Tired

I am in the middle of the hardest part of my marathon training and I am tired. I ran the half marathon on Sunday, 3 miles yesterday and another 13 miles this morning. Getting up at 4 am and running 13 miles before work is getting old. I have another two weeks of this and then I get to start what all marathoners look forward to and that is the "taper".

Marathon Training Update

I ran the Dallas White Rock Half Marathon today and my results were mixed. My time was 1 hour 43 minutes and 57 seconds which is one of my best half marathon times but not good enough to indicate that I will be able to run a Boston qualifying time at the marathon. I was 57th in my age group and 372 overall out of 3069 finishers.

I still have a few weeks of training so I am not giving up hope on qualifying for Boston but I will probably have to have a perfect race to do so.

Cowboys 19, Redskins 22

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (that is me screaming in frustration)

I'm not even sure where to start but this is a game we should have won. We lost it in so many ways.

First, if they hadn't gone for two we would have been running the clock out for a victory instead of trying to kick a field goal.

Penalties, we have to stop the penalties.

We have to start getting off to a better start. It seems like we don't even start playing until the second half.

Our secondary looks to be a big weakness and I'm afraid teams will learn that they just need to go deep on us.

Where was our pass rush?

I guess the good news is that Romo looks like the real deal.

This is a game we let get away and I know we will look back at this at the end of the season wishing we had only won it.

Terrorist Want Us to Vote Democrat

Good article in World Net Daily where they interviewed some senior terrorist leaders and they say they hope Americans sweep the Democratics into power. Read it here.

JERUSALEM – Everybody has an opinion about next Tuesday's midterm congressional election in the U.S. – including senior terrorist leaders interviewed by WND who say they hope Americans sweep the Democrats into power because of the party's position on withdrawing from Iraq, a move, as they see it, that ensures victory for the worldwide Islamic resistance.

The terrorists told WorldNetDaily an electoral win for the Democrats would prove to them Americans are "tired."

"Of course Americans should vote Democrat," Jihad Jaara, a senior member of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terror group and the infamous leader of the 2002 siege of Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity, told WND.

Armed Citizen

This is an example in my community of a citizen protecting themself.

A burglary suspect, who was shot early Friday during a break-in at an Arlington home, was arrested by police who tracked him to a wooded creek bed west of the house, police said.

The unidentified suspect was taken to John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth about 7 a.m. after officers caught him near the home he allegedly burgled in the 2000 block of Mill Creek Drive, police said.

A 2nd Blog

I have created a second blog that I will be maintaining, called Live to Shoot. As I mentioned in this post, I have applied to become a licensed firearm dealer and this new blog will support the development of this new small business I am trying to create.

I will continue to post on this blog regularly because I see the content of each blog being a little different. While they may share some content, Live To Shoot will be more focused on firearms, shooting, shooting sports and the development of the business while this blog will continue to be a collection of a variety of topics.
