Just developed from Mommy's last birthday.

January 26, 2005 ... we went out to eat at a restaurant behind the Grand Floridan.

Fools we can count on ...

The fool has said in his heart, 'There is no God.' - Psa 53:1

Since this was as true yesterday as it will be tomorrow, fools will continue to deny the Lord. There is no reason to think that this fact will ever change for society as a whole. That is to say, if God maintains this truth along with the commands to preach the gospel, there may be some folks who find the Lord and gain wisdom, but there will always be plenty of folks who deny the Lord, and establish the truth of this verse. We need to just get comfortable with this fact.

This verse is evidence that there is no "winning" in the Evolution vs. Intelligent Design debate. As true as it is that there was in fact intelligent design behind the creation of the universe, the intelligent Creator also maintains a group of fools who say, "There is no God." David spoke of them thousands of years ago, we will be speaking of them tomorrow. We can rely on the truth of scripture for this.

New boy ... New pictures ...

A friend sent me this ...

Considering the fact that there have been an average
of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theater of operations
during the last 22 months, and a total of 2112
deaths, that results in a firearm death rate of 60 per
100,000.

The rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 firearm deaths per 100,000.
That means that you are 25% more likely to be shot and
killed in our nation's capitol, which has some of the strictest gun
control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq.

Conclusion:

We should immediately pull out of Washington D.C.

It's a boy.

It's close enough to the end of the week for me. So there it is. And here is some of what I've seen from the outside lately ...
