6 hours I will never have back

WOW - that is 6 hours that I will never have back! Kate and I spent our Saturday in the basement of the hospital learning about breast feeding and birthing possitions! Thats exciting stuff!
Now don't get me wrong, I am glad we went, but wow that is a long time to sit there and talk about weird things. It was fun to watch the faces of all of us future dads at some weird moments! Even though it was good information to know, it was still... um... 6 hours I will never have back!

I'll feel a lot better after the baby is here and we are past that point.

Thanks to Brad for sending the draft and Vikings updates! I had to take several "bathroom breaks" to get a signal for the updates. I was keeping the other guys updated!

A Quote From Peter Drucker...

What it must be like

I just came across an article about the family of the gunman at VT. Can you imagine what they must be feeling and thinking? Can you imagine hearing about such a senseless act, then finding out it was your own brother who committed the act? I am guessing they are scared, afraid and grieving all at the same time!
Would you still be able to love your brother if you found out that he did that? Would you be able to attend a funeral in his honor? Would you be able to forgive him? Would you be able to show your face in public without being afraid for your life?
Those are all things that this family is going through right now. For the sounds of it, they are taken by as much surprise as any of us are! I can only imagine the feelings that they are having. I would even say that they are feeling as much or more pain than the families who lost loved ones! Not only did their son die, but he is also the one responsible for the death of so many others! Wow.

What could you tell the family to ease their pain? I don't know that there is a good answer to that.

God is a forgiving God, one whose love is stronger than anything that we could ever do or imagine. But do you really believe that? Do you really believe that if this wacko lived, and repented, that he would be forgiven? Would you want him to be forgiven? Thats a hard questions to ask. I want to answer "burn in Hell" but that isn't the right answer.

Wow, we were just as bad off before we encountered Christ as this guy! We may not have run around with guns and killed people, but our eternal reservations where for the same restaurant! Kinda puts things in perspective I guess. this dude needed the Lord! But so do we.
Those are sometimes hard words to take! If you want to read the article, it is here.

I am still alive

Just a post to say that I am still alive! I will post more soon. Its been crazy around here for awhile.

well its official

So here I am sitting in my new office overlooking State Road 35 in St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin. It is a good, and weird feeling. The walls are still blank, the bookshelf only half full, but the work is already starting to stack up! Wow, crazy stuff!
I think that change is good. It's good to try new things and new areas. I just wish that moving didn't have to be part of that change! Wow! Everything unloaded from the truck FAST, but its gonna take a while to get everything put away. Right now, all we have is boxes, boxes, boxes! CRAZY!

I better get back to work. More updates to come, I am sure.

Global Warming~

Someone alert Al Gore! Global warming has reached a new level! Its so hot here that we went from no snow to 9 inches of snow overnight! This is an outrage! Switch your lightbulbs now! If we don't hurry, the world will blow up!
I guess I am just bitter!
