a bit too far

There are times when Christians go a bit too far and go from funny to ridiculous. This guy goes straight to ridiculous.



Here's the actual Ice, Ice, Baby video.

halloween 2008

Allison and I went to a halloween party hosted by a married couple from the church we attend. The theme was, "Famous Couples", and we saw everything from Brad and Anjolina to Ken and Barbie. We were American Gothic (the painting) and carried a very large picture frame with us. Our first halloween as a married couple. Yay.

One of the funnest things about being married is knowing you have that other person for all of life's experiences. Don't get me wrong, there are some great things about being single. I mean, in the past I never had to worry about whether or not I put the toilet seat back down, washing dishes with soap (rinsing works just fine), or putting my clothes back where I got them (the closet). As a married man I'm much cleaner and organized (not saying a lot). Overrated.

Just kidding. I like how marriage has made me a better man and not just because I'm cleaner or more organized. It has done things for me that singleness could never do. I could type about those things, but people have written books about it. Plus, if I tell all the secrets of marriage it would ruin the surprise.

I would suggest it, marriage that is. Whether or not you want to be cleaner or more organized that is up to you.

Our New Niece

My oldest brother, Billy, and his wife, Ashley, just had their second child. This is our newest niece and she was born on Halloween night!!! Crazy, huh? Maybe that is why she looks so funky. JK. But seriously, I've never seen a 'pretty' newborn. They all look like aliens.

Her name is Criss Ashlynn. Here's the story with her name - Billy and his football coach have established a great relationship over the past four years. His coach, Chris, is married, but they've never been able to have children. So, him and Ashley decided they would honor coach by naming their child after him. What an honor.
