24 hours ago, I was totally undone. It was Monday night. I'd been fighting my drippy sink off and on for about 30 hours, with the help of my good friend William. Three trips to the hardware store, who knows how many little O-rings later, and I was no further than when I started. Now, you have to understand, I've become sort of medium-handy around the house. I'm well acquainted with minor plumbing repair. I can do basic electrical if I have to. I can deal with washer, dryer and dishwasher issues without help. I repair kids bikes. ( adult bikes are not in my repertoire, just ask Jenn... ) When I looked up faucet repair, all the trustworthy sources and tutorials said this was the easiest of home repair tasks. Confident in my growing home improvement-fu, I decided to knock it out on Sunday afternoon. 30 hours later, I was reduced to a shell of a man. My frustration wasn't all about home repair. Really, it was...

The folks at the IHOP like to say there's about 100 chapters in the Bible related to end times events. That number is old though - They may have counted as high as 150. Here's a link for those who are interested. http://www.ihop.org/Forums/Messages.aspx?ThreadID=1000000065
So I'm a sick boy this week. I took some time between sneezing and naps to read my Bible, and had a moment I'd like to share with my faithful readers. All two of you. I was chewing on Hebrews 12:26-27... At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, "Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens." The words "once more" indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain. The author of Hebrews says in vs. 27 that 'The words "once more" indicate the removing of what can be shaken...' Um, no they don't. From where I stand, the words 'once more' indicate 'again', or 'one more time', another. Once more does not equal removal. Time to search it out. Off to my greek lexicon, to find out why 'once again' indicates the removing of what can be shaken. The short version of that is that there a...
I'm experimenting with facial hair. So far, my best identifiable target is famous poet ( and composer of 'A Boy Named Sue' ) Shel Silverstein . Strangely enough, Jenn likes it. And Amanda likes to feel it absently while I'm holding her. It seems to help her think. I've begun to hear 'As-Salamu Alaykum' on a regular basis from one of my work colleagues. Another thinks I must be Jewish. I'm getting the orthodox rabbi thing a lot at church... My business partner Greg refers to it as 'THE BEARD OF POWER'. Last but not least, a buddy of mine recommends I decorate it for the holidays, so that the family can gather around and sing 'O Christmas beard, O Christmas beard' while it twinkles away. I find it fascinating, the reaction it's provoking from the folks around me...I've never been called 'hirsute' before...google it. Well, beard does rhyme with weird...
I just finally set up my google homepage to hook my blogger account, so I'm posting from my google homepage. Google has an iGoogle homepage widget that hooks to your blog to let you do a quick post...kind of nice. TA-DAAAA!
