Hello Readers!  It's been a while, but I am going to attempt to be more regular in my blogs this year...and perhaps a bit lighter some of the time.  My goal is to blog at least twice per week - with a regular Monday blog to talk about the past week.  So here goes...

Five Best Things from the Past Week:
1.  Will turned 3 on Sunday (and he now LOVES his new cowboy boots).
2.  We had a great visit with our friends on Saturday night at Will's party - including a Wii Smackdown.
3.  Our first Sunday back at the LHBC H'ville campus.  Lance Brown's class is still as crazy as ever!!!
4.  Steve Sullivan back in a Predators uniform after 2 years of back problems.
5.  Our conversion to "Mac" from PC. 

Five Worst Things from the Past Week:
1.  The Titans...ugh!
2.  The weather - no golf for Aaron!
3.  The painful transferring of contact info from PC to Mac.
4.  A good friend of mine from High School lost her baby this week - please pray for the Brodt family in Texas.
5.  Still 10 days until the season premier of "LOST."


Quote of the Week:

"We sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm."
 - Sir Winston Churchill (merged from previous quotes by George Orwell & Rudyard Kipling).


Bible Passage of the Week:

"Then Peter began to speak: "I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts men from every nation who fear him and do what is right."  - Acts 10:34-35 (NIV)

This passage has two great truths:
  • God loves everyone equally
  • God makes it easy for everyone to find Him (we don't have to jump through a lot of religious hoops!)


Word of the Week:

Simulacrum - (noun)  an image or representation of something;  an insubstantial form or semblance (i.e. - just a trace).  It comes from the Latin word "simulare."

      Very interesting...and timely. Is this your "New Year's Resolution" considering we didn't make any?

      I like the idea of it. But I felt like I was reading someone else's blog. Gotta get used to it, I guess. You not being deep, is almost like you not being you.
