Aliens?

Are they there?

I read this article Here about a scientist that thinks an Alien saved earth from a meteor falling to earth. He is taking a lot of criticism on this topic, some even calling him crazy. My question is why is it that we can accept God, or evolution neither of which can be proven beyond a doubt. Both taking faith in what is seen or known. But we are shallow enough to believe that we are the only intelligent beings in the entire universe? Really? We think this. Now why an Alien would save earth who knows, and it may be the ramblings of a man who needs some attention. I do not think he is crazy though. I mean honestly when you say something is an act of God or that God did something, can scientist not turn around and explain it away in some scientific way? Even when creation is threatened by science we defend God in the matter. But have you even seen either? Or is it by denying that there might be other life forms out there makes us feel safer?

After A Long Weekend

Long Weekends

It is always nice to have a long holiday weekend. The problem with long holiday weekends, is that you do have to return from them. Thus, making a hard first day back. I hate Tuesdays as Mondays there always seems to be a back up of everything. On top of that I am tired from doing nothing or playing to hard over the long holiday. Ah, but how nice it is to enjoy all that time with your family and friends. So, is it worth all the trouble you have to go through once you get back to work? You bet!! I do hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend. I also hope that you remembered to thank someone in the armed forces for the freedoms we have.

Zooey Update

Zooey went to the Doctor today. She is now 4 and 1/2 months old! Hard to beleive it is going so fast. She is weighting in at 12lbs 3oz, 23 1/4 in. long. She is growing well and good. She got shots again today, so she is a litle touchy this evening. On other notes about Zooey, she is rolling over and making lots of sounds. Funny story about Zooey finding her voice. Ruth Ann and I went to see Star Trek on opening night, and Zooey went with us. It is so nice when they are this young and you don't have to chase them around. Anyways right as the show was starting she started making the sounds, at first we thought she was upset, but this was not it. She was laughing and screaming and she thought it was great! I guess I am going to have myself a partner in my Sci-fi watching. Well, everything is good with her that is the most important part of it all. Remember you can always see up to date photos of Zooey and the other kids at our Website.

The Tarnsman of Gor
This book is by John Norman's Gor Series. It is the first of 28 books. The story takes place on a planet that is opposite of Earth, never able to be seen by Earth. The main characters name is Tarl Cabot. He is brought to the planet Gor by his father. He is trained in the knowledge of Gor and the warrior code. He is then sent out to sabotage the city of Ar, arch enemy of Ko-ro-ba Tarl's home city. In his quest to sabotage Ar, he meets the daughter of the Ubar of Ar. He soon falls in love with her, and is forced to go through some challenges. The plot is easy and fast paced and interesting. This is a book that can be hard for some to swallow, because of the women slavery in the book. All in all this is a fun read with an interesting plot. It is primary good vs. evil where good wins out for the most part. So take the time to read this I do not think you will be disappointed. Tarnsman of Gor is a shot book only 219 pages, so even if you do not end up liking it you have not wasted much time. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

What is this guy doing.

OK this guy's name is Pastor Steven Anderson. You can look this guy up on YouTube. This guy I think has lost his mind. He is a pastor at a church in Arizona and has many videos on youtube. Each one of these videos he gets a little crazy in them. Now I know that this guy is not the majority for Christians out there but he is not doing Christians any help I don't think. Take some time out and view what this is telling people. Come back and tell me what you think about it. Now I am a Christian and I am not claiming to have all the answers, understand it all, or be perfect; but this guy is taking it to the next level I think. The scary part is not that he is saying and doing these things, the scary part is there is a congregation sitting out there listening to him. It is guys like this that make me and others turn a deaf ear to those who start to preach to us. It is no wonder that a recent poll shows that Americans in general are declining in the number of people who are saying they believe in God. You can see the write up on that poll here. I do not know where we as a people and a nation are headed but something is going very very wrong. Tell me what you think.

Mistborn

Guys, this is a great book to add to your collection of reading. I found Mistborn and Brandon Sanderson through the forums at Dragonmount since he is writing the last book in the Wheel of Time series. I have to say this guy is an amazing writer, that will keep you wanting more. So a little bit about the Mistborn series. There are three books in the series; Mistborn, The Well of Ascension, and The Hero of the Ages. I have only read the first two books, and I am currently working on the last book. Amazing is how I explain it. The books are a kind of heist / fantasy genre. The book mainly revolve around a girl named Vin and a crew of thieves / con-artist. Basically they are fighting for the betterment of their land and for the people without even realizing what they are doing till they are doing it. The magic system in the books is very interesting and unique. The books will keep you on the edge of your seat reading to see what is going to happen next. With a lot of good unexpected twist. Just when you think you have an idea where things are going and how they are going to work out BAMM! you get hit with a surprise. I guarantee you will not be disappointed in the time you spend reading these books.
