Tonight is movie night. Emily has rented us a movie - not sure yet what it is, but it will be nice to relax with her and watch.
Thinking about taking Kylie up to see her first Cincinnati Reds game. I am excited although it could turn out to be a train wreck. She has to watch enough of them on TV with me - she has earned a "real game" experience.
We have a busy couple of weeks/months coming up. Vacation is right around the corner, along with a couple of birthday celebrations. Kylie will be 3 and Jackson 1.
Joshua and Maurie are studying a book that has peeked my interest of late. Rob Bell has been preaching a sermon series Serve God, Save the Planet. If Al Gore wasn't towing the "Go Green" line, it would probably be easier for more Christians to get on board with taking better care of our world.
One thing that struck me about what he said - Rob believes that "going green" will be much like wearing a seat belt. Not long ago - no one wore seat belts. It wasn't even thought about - now it is almost a moral issue. You can get a ticket if you don't have one on. We have come to realize it is a life or death issue. He says, this is going to be the case with our planet. And he asks the following questions:
Wouldn't it be cool if the Christians - instead of being behind - were actually leading the way in caring for the earth, out of their deep love for the Creator? When it becomes illegal to own certain cars, and use certain amounts of energy - wouldn't it be cool if we didn't even feel it, because we have already made the changes? Something to think about.

Adam,
It seems according to snopes.com that Al Gore doesn't practice what he preaches. Check out this web address http://www.snopes.com/politics/bush/house.asp
Hope you all are doing well. Say hey to Emily for me.

Adam,
In an effort to get ahead of this thing, and not feel the pinch later, I have sold the boat, gas guzzling avalanche, and shut the air off.
Hope you don't miss tubing.
Guess who ! ! !

Hi, my name is Dustin and I work with Christians in Conservation: A Rocha USA. I noticed that you mentioned Rob Bell in your post. You are probably aware, then, that he recently brought a doctor named Matthew Sleeth to speak at Mars Hill. Dr. Sleeth in fact wrote a book called "Serve God, Save the Planet," which is where Rob Bell got the title of his series. You might also be interested to know that Dr. Sleeth has recently become the president of our organization. We would love for you to check us out at our website, en.arocha.org/usa.
