So we spent this weekend at the Great Wolfe Lodge that they recently build in WA, I think the next closest one is in Kansas. We all had a really good time, especially Carina there was an area just for the little ones with ski-doos and a couple of water slides. At first Carina wanted us with her the whole time, which meant sliding down the little water slide with her over and over and over again. But by the next morning Papa and Momma where a distant memory.
Travis wondered if this would be the trip we looked back on and see that we lost our little baby into the world of little girl and not wanting anything to do with her parents.
I got a few more runs in on the slide with her in fear that Travis was right...and she was happy to have her momma right along side her.

The Roman emperor Diocletian, following an edict in 303 A.D.,
failed to stamp the Bible out. The French Revolution could not
crush it with secular philosophy (Rousseau, one of its heroes,
converted to Christianity). The Communists failed to stamp it
out with atheism and political ideology. One might well ask why
this book has been banned, burned, and bludgeoned with such
animosity and scorn. The great Reformation hero John Calvin
responds in this way: "Whenever people slander God's word.
they show they feel within its power, however unwillingly or
reluctantly." - Joe Boot

The Voice of the Shepherd
At a recent exhibit of the Dead Sea Scrolls a visitor remarked of the tour,
"Just to look at it makes chills run down my spine. This Bible through the
ages still says the same thing."
Found in 1947 in several caves near the Dead Sea in Qumran, the Dead Sea
Scrolls, which include over six hundred scrolls and thousands of
fragments, contain portions or entire sections of every Old Testament book
except Esther. The discovery, which was made accidentally by a young boy
herding sheep, revealed the oldest copies of the Hebrew Scriptures
hitherto known to be in existence. For those who read them first, it must
have indeed been stirring, as this observer notes even years later, to see
the remarkable precision between the scrolls of Qumran and the text of
their own Bibles. To many the Dead Sea Scrolls are one more sign of the
care and detail with which God and God's Word have moved throughout
history.
In fact, before Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press in 1438,
there were only 30,000 books throughout all of Europe. Nearly all of
these works were Bibles or biblical commentary recorded meticulously at
the hands of monks with pen and ink. Even a small book took months to
complete, and a book the size of the Bible required several years to
produce. Fittingly, the first book printed on Gutenberg's press,
completed in 1455, was the Bible itself. Today it remains the most
printed and best selling book of all time. In the words of the prophet
Isaiah, quoted again centuries later by the apostle Peter, "All men are
like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the
grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord stands
forever" (1 Peter 1:24-26). God's voice is indeed among us, crying out to
all who will hear.
To a crowd of people, some willing, others unwilling to listen, Jesus once
proclaimed: "The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep hear his voice. He
calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out
all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they
know his voice" (John 10:2-4). In this description of sheep and shepherd,
Jesus conveys the startling idea of self-disclosure and the compulsion of
recognition. As with any voice we recognize, it is much more than
acknowledging a string of inanimate, though recognizable sounds. We
recognize a person beyond the sounds, one who has chosen to speak in our
own language so that we might understand and in turn respond. How much
more so this is true of the shepherd's voice. In word, in revelation, in
covenant and relationship, the Father makes Himself known to us, the voice
of the Son leading us further into the care and presence of the Father.
Like a shepherd calling out to his sheep, God's word goes forth, leading
all who will listen, compelling into action those who recognize the voice
of one worth following. But more than this, the shepherd's voice is one
that moves us because it is our own names we hear called out.
In July of 2004, the people of Ranonga, a small, remote island in the
Solomon Islands, read the words of Christ for the first time in their own
language. The arrival of the New Testament in Lungga, the local language,
followed more than 20 years of fundraising efforts by the local people.
When the finished copies were finally available, a local pastor declared,
"Today God has arrived in Ranonga. He has arrived in our own culture and
is speaking to us in our own language."(2) Praise be to the God who
speaks, whose Word is living and active, and to Christ, the Word himself,
who comes to us like a shepherd and whose voice leads us home. This voice
continues to move throughout history, bringing light and life, bidding us
near, calling us by name, standing forever.

If you stop believing what your professor told you had to be true
and if you start thinking for yourself you may come to some
conclusions you hadn't expected. You may find the Bible makes
more sense than you thought or were told to think. Allow yourself
to be ruined, ruined with regard to what you always thought could
be true. Can you believe what you don't understand? You and I
believe everyday what we don't understand unless it comes to
the issue of salvation. - - - Dr. Woodrow Kroll

There is simply no historic foundation for the position that the
Framers intended to build the 'wall of separation' that was
constitutionalized in Everson. The 'wall of separation be-
tween church and state' is a metaphor based on bad history,
a metaphor which has proved useless as a guide to judging.
It should be frankly and explicitly abandoned.
- - - Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court, William Rehnquist
===============
In 1796 the US Supreme Court issued this ruling, "By our form
of government, the Christian religion is the established religion,
and all sects and denominations of Christians are placed on
equal footing." Some 57 years later, after Congress was
petitioned to separate Christian principles from government,
in 1853 the House Judiciary Committee issued their formal
report, including these words: "In this age there is no substitute
for Christianity. This was the religion of the founders of the republic,
and they expected it to be the religion of their dependents. The
great vital, conservative elements in our system is the belief of
our people in the pure doctrines and divine truths of the gospel
of Jesus Christ." - - - Dr. Gerald Beavan

I am trying here to prevent anyone from saying
the really foolish thing that people often say
about Him [Jesus Christ]: "I'm ready to accept
Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't
accept His claim to be God."
That is the one thing we must not say. A man
who was merely a man and said the sort of
things Jesus said would not be a great moral
teacher. He would either be a lunatic -- on a
level with a man who says he is a poached
egg -- or else he would be the Devil of Hell.
You must make your choice. Either this Man
was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman
or something worse ....
You can shut Him up for fool, you can spit
at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can
fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God.
But let us not come up with any patronizing
nonsense about His being a great human
teacher. He has not left that option open
to us. He did not intend to.

Examining Our Laughter
“Laughter,” writes my colleague, Mark Eckel, “is an indication
of ethics. Watching a Jay Leno monologue,” he continues,
“forces us to laugh at the ethical lapses in peoples’ attitudes
and actions.” But, he suggests, we need to monitor our laughter.
There may just be, in his words, “a guide for Christians to explain
when laughter is ethically appropriate and when it is not.”
Everyone who has attended a movie theater has probably had the
experience of listening to a part of the audience laugh at incidents
in the movie which are not funny, things like violence to a particular
individual or cruelty to an animal. Such laughter leaves one chilled.
And it is an indication of our society that such laughter is growing
more frequent. But, before we look to the culture at large, it is much
more important to analyze ruthlessly just what we are laughing at,
particularly on television and in our private conversations with our
friends.
Eckel, quoted earlier, compares the potential difference in our
laughter at two television sitcoms: The Simpsons, a much-written
about sitcom among Christians because of its witty but ironic
portrayal of, in Eckel’s words, “the dark side of human nature,”
and Will and Grace, a program that seeks to make the homosexual
lifestyle and all sexually active characters benign and, therefore,
acceptable. In The Simpsons, Eckel notes, “the inconsistencies
and hypocrisies of all groups and individuals in American culture
are pointed out… using sardonic wit… to mirrorshortcomings,
creating a climate for change” through the viewer’s “distress
and unease [at] seeing wrongdoing in both attitude and action.”
In contrast, Will and Grace promotes the acceptance of its characters
and their lifestyles through “self-deprecating” laughter that “cuts
off the rough edges and softens [the viewer’s] attitudes” by making
the characters endearing and “excluding the consequences of [their]
behavior.”
This is very wise analysis, one we must take seriously. T. S.Eliot
said long ago that what entertains us, what we laugh at, may just
affect us more than what we study or labor over because our spirits
and minds are relaxed and receptive. We have turned our mental
security systems off and what amuses may seem somehow too trivial
to harm us. There is no part of our lives that does not, however, belong
to God. We must never bypass our intellects or suspend our critical thinking
ability even in our laughter. Laughter has the power, as in The Simpsons,
to be a cultural commentary that brings understanding and conviction,
and it has the power, as in Will and Grace, to seduce and soothe one into
indifference to dangerous secular trends.
The question is crucial: What are we laughing at and why?

The Bible claims to be the Word
of the only true God. In addition
to historical, archaeological, and
scientific proofs, there are numerous
internal proofs. No such evidences
exist for other "sacred writings."
The Bible was written during 1,600
years by 40 prophets, most of
whom lived in diverse cultures,
at different times in history, yet
who never contradict but comple -
ment each other. For the Qur'an,
Muslims must take the word of
Muhammad, just as the Book
of Mormon rests solely upon
Joseph Smith's word. But every
biblical prophet is confirmed
by 39 other prophets.

God designed humans to want to believe in something.

Dear Dr. Howdy, Indeed I am a faithful Tarheel*, having both
MA and Ph.D. from their fine chemistry department.
But that doesn't keep me from getting a great kick out
of the humor propagated by what appears to me to be
a pack of wolves!!**
SERIOUSLY, THE HUMOR IS GREAT FUN BUT MY
MAIN ATTRACTION WAS TO THE CONSERVATIVE
MORAL AND POLITICAL STANCE THAT SEEMED
TO CHARACTERIZE THE FIRST ISSUE I SAW.
INCIDENTALLY (HE SAYS ACCIDENTALLY!), it was
sent to me by a friend, so I really didn't "hear about
you" at all, and still haven't. All I know is what has
come in the two issues of the Newsletter I have
seen. The best to you.

For Christians, the life and death of Jesus are the ultimate

wondrous sacrifice and for God's promise of freedom for
the oppressed, healing for the brokenhearted, and salvation.
--President George W. Bush
"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this

And this Good News about the Kingdom will be
preached through all the world for a witness to
all people; and then the end will come. Mat 24:14
===============
Four Important Things To KNOW:
1) For ALL (Americans, Muslims, Jews,
Catholics, Hindus, Buddhist, Asians,
Presbyterians, Europeans, Baptist,
Brazilians, Mormons, Methodist,
French, etc.) have sinned & fall
short of the glory of God.
2) For the wages of above (see #1)
are DEATH (Hell, eternal separation
from God, & damnation) but the Gift
(free & at no charge to you) of God
(Creator, Jehovah, & Trinity) is
Eternal Life (Heaven) through
(in union with) Jesus Christ
(God, Lord, 2nd Person of the
Trinity, Messiah, Prince of
Peace & Savior of the World).
3) For God so greatly loved & dearly
prized the world (Americans, Muslims,
Jews, Catholics, Hindus, Buddhist,
Asians, Presbyterians, Europeans,
Baptist, Brazilians, Mormons,
Methodist, French, etc.) that
He even gave up His only begotten
(unique) Son, that whosoever (anyone,
anywhere, anytime - while still living)
believes (trust in, relies on, clings to,
depends completely on) Him shall
have eternal (everlasting) life (heaven).
4) Jesus said: "I am THE WAY, THE TRUTH,
& THE LIFE. No one (male/female - American,
Muslim, Jew, Catholic, Hindu, Buddhist,
Asian, Presbyterian, European, Baptist,
Brazilian, Mormons, Methodist, French,
etc. ) comes (arrives) to the Father (with
GOD in Heaven) EXCEPT BY (through)
ME (no other name).
This wonderful loving GOD gives you the choice - - -
(Rev. 3:20)
{Please note that church membership,
baptism, doing good things, etc. are not
requirements for becoming a Christian -
however they are great afterwards!!!}
Jesus said, "Wide is the gate and broad
is the road that leads to destruction
(Hell, damnation, eternal punishment),
and many enter through it. But small
is the gate and narrow the road that
leads to life (Heaven, eternal happiness,
forever with God), and only a few find it.

P U R P O S E of 'Thought & Humor':
But these are written so that you may
believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the
Son of God, and that by believing in
Him you will have life. Jn 20:31
Seek the Lord while He may be found;
call on Him while He is near. Let the
wicked forsake his way and the evil
man his thoughts. Let him turn to the
Lord, and He will have mercy on him,
and to our God, for He will freely
pardon. "For My thoughts are not
your thoughts, neither are your ways
My ways," declares the Lord. "As the
heavens are higher than the earth, so
are My ways higher than your ways
and My thoughts than your thoughts.
As the rain and the snow come down
from heaven, and do not return to it
without watering the earth and making
it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed
for the sower and bread for the eater,
so is My word that goes out from My
mouth: It will not return to Me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire and
achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
You will go out in joy and be led forth
in peace; the mountains and hills will
burst into song before you, and all the
trees of the field will clap their hands.
Instead of the thornbush will grow the
pine tree, and instead of briers the myrtle
will grow. This will be for the Lord's
renown, for an everlasting sign, which
will not be destroyed." Is 55
O Lord, you have searched me and you
know me. You know when I sit and when
I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying
down; you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue you know
it completely, O Lord. You hem me in -
behind and before; you have laid your
hand upon me. Such knowledge is too
wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
Where can I go from your Spirit? Where
can I flee from your presence? If I go up
to the heavens, you are there; if I make
my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide
me and the light become night around
me," even the darkness will not be dark
to you; the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you. For you
created my inmost being; you knit me
together in my mother's womb. I praise
you because I am fearfully and wonderfully
made; your works are wonderful, I know
that full well. My frame was not hidden
from you when I was made in the secret
place. When I was woven together in the
depths of the earth, your eyes saw my
unformed body. All the days ordained
for me were written in your book before
one of them came to be.
How precious to me are your thoughts,
O God! How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them, they would
outnumber the grains of sand. When
I awake, I am still with you. Search me,
O God, and know my heart; test me
and know my anxious thoughts. See
if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.
Ps 139
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of Glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small:
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
- - Isaac Watts
O God, You have taught me from my
youth; And to this day I declare
Your wondrous works. Now also when
I am old and gray headed, O God,
do not forsake me, Until I declare
Your strength to this generation,
Your power to everyone who is to come.
Ps 71
