Срећан Божић / Happy Christmas / Merry Christmas

I was challenged to do the Ice Bucket Challenge by my friend Joel.  I can’t do it really memorable here in the UK partially because I don’t have a bucket or the ability to make enough ice (and I’m not paying what they want for a little bitty bag).  I decided to do something geeky instead.

Well, I can’t embed it. Go here on our flickr page to see it.

I always wondered why they did away with the noid.

Never heard of it before today.

I hope they pick something in the 45apc caliber.  I know why they went with the 9mm but jeez….the 45 is so much better

Yes, other countries have it, but it is special for the USA.  Happy 4th of July 2014

I shave with a safety razor.  I use a mug with soap and a brush.  Every morning.  I don’t use an electric razor.  I’d like to learn to shave with a straight razor.  This is why.  Go read that article and tell me if you get a better experience with electrics.

First off, this story about this three-year old girl is sad (and happy).  I’m glad she’s alive.  I’m glad her parents get to spend more time with her.  I can’t imagine the pain if something happened to Lydia or Isaac.  But, that being said, I don’t think this girl saw Jesus.  I don’t think any of the near-death experiences reported by people are of heaven.  

Could God do something like that?  Sure.
Would God do something like that?  Perhaps.

But, that being said, I don’t think one would want to come back from the Biblical heaven.  The presence of God there, the sight of the Lord and Savior Jesus, and everything else the Bible has to say about the real heaven make me doubt every single one of these stories.

I don’t remember when or where this picture was taken (at a Starbucks somewhere in Europe it looks like).  But I just wanted to post it and tell everyone what a great wife Cyndi is.  I’m lucky blessed to have her as my wife.
