It has been a while

The title says it all. I have been very busy with finals and other school related things. I feel very blessed to have such a wonderful wife. Today we decided how to split up the chores. I will clean the main rooms and the bedrooms while she does the kitchen and the bathroom. It sounds like a good deal.

We are excited for our trip home tomorrow. We plan to depart at 6:30 so we can go to the dog part and allow the children some exercise. Lady looks so cute with her new haircut. She hates to go to the beauty shop but her pain is worth the outcome.

Steve has been wonderful as well. He gave us a $70 gift certificate to the Italian Kitchen. I had acupuncture for the first time and it was very painful, but helpful.

Why Christians bother me!

I am tired of the Christian populous behaving in a non-Christian manner. One example is the critics of Joel Osteen and their representations that he is a false profit or false teacher. The message he teaches is one of hope and prosperity in the relationship with God and Jesus. Some critics claim that because he lacks seminary instruction he does not have a place teaching or relying on a "calling" from God. I look at other influential teachers that do not have the so called seminary teaching, for one the Apostle Paul, another Charles Finney (I am not as sure of this one, but I could not find any formal training). The calling upon an individual to serve the Kingdom of God does not hinge upon a formal training in seminary. All that such trite comments do to the relationship of Christians is to create strife and discontent. Such comments are made out of jealousy and not divine understanding. So the man whose name I no longer remember needs to look at himself in the mirror and before God and determine his true objective and if there is a calling upon his life or if he is a false profit sowing the seed of strife and discontent.

More of the Packers

It was a good day yesterday for the Pack. 7-1 is not quite a good as 8-0 but it is acceptable. Ellen and I spent the weekend doing very little. On Saturday I played with Sixth Ward and won the Spokane Stake Football Tournament. We had the intention of going to Braden's blessing on Sunday, but fell ill, and spent the day doing nothing. I think I will do some work now.

Packers beat Denver- sorry Tim

It is a little late to be talking about the events of Monday night football but I will anyway. It was a poor showing for the Packer's offense other than the two big plays. One in the first half and that beautiful play in overtime. It has been a good week. On Sunday the church had a potluck which was pretty good. It needed a few more salads and more food in general. A potluck should always have a large amount of leftovers. This week seems to be going very quickly but I am trying to rise earlier so that I can maximize the amount of time that I am awake. We will see how long it lasts.

Its Friday

Well the weekend is almost here. I am looking forward to flag football on Saturday and having a productive weekend. I am trying to volunteer at a company/governmental entity that specializes in helping people to secure their IP rights. Currently it does not seem that the company has any interest in me, since the majority of the work is patent related. Being that I want to do litigation it is not the best fit. Time will tell what happens. I am in the clinic which means that I should start working, so I will.
