Quotes of the Day
If Washington worked with just one-tenth the passion in corralling the enemies of the U.S.
as it has in ramrodding the Obama-Pelosi health care system down our throats and pocketbooks,
we'd reduce military acts of terrorism down to zero, inside and outside our borders.
~Chuck Norris~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Moving out at eighteen is a fairly recent, definitely cultural idea, one which regardless of the spiritual implications makes no economic or ecological sense. Does every eighteen-year-old need his own stove and refrigerator? How many square feet of housing are wasted on a solitary individual when the more prudent solution is to share? Why are some people getting their knickers in a knot over the emissions of cows while ignoring the massive impact this exodus of young people has on carbon footprints?

My Side of the Mountain
By Jean George
see relatedDo You Hear What I Hear?
This evening I was in the kitchen when I heard tires squealing frantically and the sound of a crash. I thought, "Oh, no," and headed toward the front of the house to see what had happened.
Turned out that the boys were in the front bedroom playing some kind of racing game. Where they got it, I'm not sure--I think they have some sort of barter system with their friends--but apparently it's a LOT more fun if you hook it up to speakers so that you can hear all the sound effects really LOUD.
You can also give your mother a scare, and that's pretty fun, too...

Prayer Request
Please pray for David Michael Brovont, born prematurely yesterday. His lungs have been getting worse instead of better, and he is being taken by helicopter to another hospital. Also pray for his parents Mike and Anna, who are driving to Philadelphia to be with him.
Update: Baby David is gone.
Please pray for his parents and family.

see relatedAnd we wonder why Americans are getting fat!
This is an amazing article about portion sizes and how they have changed in America. Just as an example, look at this.

The hamburger on the left was a normal sized burger twenty years ago, and the one on the right is what people commonly eat now. Click here for more examples.
