hodge podge
Obviously it has been some time since my last post. A lot has been happening since then. The last 30+ days have been, in most ways, completely devoted to my daughter. Well, at least the time that I'm not at work. Our entire life revolves around her now. She gets fed, changed, bounced, rocked, smiled at, laughed at, cried at, swung, cuddled, hugged, kissed, swaddled and pacified. Some of our best times have been in the middle of the night, or the wee hours of the morning. She loves to make funny faces and silly sounds. There are time already that I can see her thinking about things she touches or sees us looking at her strangely. What a great 5 weeks it has been.
This past weekend Larissa and I traveled to Fort Worth with Greg and Megan (in a minivan I might add) to meet with our team and to present ourselves before the missions committee at the Richland Hills church. It was a satisfying weekend filled with great food (thanks Mother McKinzie), great friends (we were blessed to be prayed over Saturday night by some of our closest friends), and good conversation. We met on Saturday with Bryan and Eralda and were able to spend some time talking about the team and where we are now and how we see the future unfolding before us. Our meeting Sunday morning with RHCC went very nicely I think. They responded to us positively and we await some feedback from them in the next few weeks.
Larissa and I have been watching a little more TV than normal these past few weeks. Our favorite shows are (in no particular order): House, Heroes, Studio 60, Law and Order: SVU, and Bones. We've also watched a few of the American Idol auditions, some of those people trying out are hilarious.
A blog that I've found that I visit frequently is scottfreeman.info. He's had some great posts concerning non-violence in the past few months that have really had me thinking about the issue and wondering how I got to this point in life without thinking about it. This leads to other issues such as serving in the military, as a police officer, protecting your family, etc. that I may write something about in the future. For now I'm reading and thinking about this and I hope you will too.
This article is very interesting. Any thoughts?

regarding the article, i'm glad the priests have a sense of contextuality. also, i wouldn't be surprised if they might have seen through the reporter's act -- after all, they here tens of confessions everyday; they probably know how to spot a fake.

I thought the same thing Bryan. I bet the Vatican is as mad as can be.

Do like we do; find a friend with cable and tag along for Sunday Battlestar nights. in our case though that friend is Bryan's mom, so it works.

Have you seen Shark? I watched it last night and it was pretty good. Kinda like CSI, but less raunchy and bloody. I like James Woods, too. Not sure about this Battlestar gack you talk about...

Kyle - I expect that the continuing second half of LOST-season 3 will be on the list for you and Larissa, heh? Lana and I just finished the season one DVDs. We're hooked. It's sad how much I love this show! Great writing.
