HOME

We just got back from Florida and the temp. reads 23 degrees. Two days ago I was able to sit at the pool in shorts and bask in the sun. Oh well.

DOWNTOWN DISNEY

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER

If you get to this part of Florida and have time, I would recommend taking this in. I've always had a fascination with flight, so this is right up my alley...and I think Will really enjoyed it as well. There is a shuttle at it's launch pad right now and was scheduled to blast off this Friday, but now has been pushed back to March 5. I would have loved to have seen it. Maybe another time. I'll have more photos of this day later, but this is a small taste.

CASTILLO de SAN MARCOS NATIONAL MONUMENT

FINALLY IN FLORIDA

We finally made it to the state line and stopped at the first rest stop in Florida. As a courtesy, they serve you your choice of orange juice or grape fruit juice. That's a first. It was a bit breezy too. Dawn doesn't normally wear her hair that way.

FLORIDA

We leave today for Florida and hope to be there by Sunday evening. Will post more as trip unfolds.

VALENTINE'S DAY

OIL FIELD

ENDING THE DAY

On my way to St.Louis after a long day.

I KNOW...

...when all else fails, paste a Brian Regan clip.

PINEAPPLE

I wish I had more to report. I don't even have any new pictures of the family. So here is a picture of some pineapple. It was the only original picture on my SD card.

HAGGARD

James 3:8 but no one can tame the tongue. It is restless and evil, full of deadly poison. 9 Sometimes it praises our Lord and Father, and sometimes it curses those who have been made in the image of God. 10 And so blessing and cursing come pouring out of the same mouth. Surely, my brothers and sisters, this is not right!

While in my hotel room last night, I caught a 'documentary' on HBO about Ted Haggard. If your like me, I don't get this channel at home, but if you do, or are able to watch it somehow, it's worth watching. All I can say was I saw a very broken man. I thought the documentary was well done, and I am willing to give Haggard the benefit of the doubt as to what he said in the hour long show. I don't know how many people would want their sins (and yes, his were very ugly, but no worse than mine), broadcast to a nation of people waiting to pounce on Christians, but his were, and now he's paying for it. Here was a man who spoke to and for the Christian community, and is now at rock bottom. One revealing thing to me was how the church at large responded to him-not good. Thus my reference of James 3.
