Well, she's an Army wife. Following her man where ever he goes and right now that's Fort Gordon Georgia. After 18 hours of driving I got her down here and tomorrow we'll be getting them an apartment. The picture on the right is where Tim gets to spend most of his time. Actually he's in a 4 man room. I told him he should've joined the Navy! Actually it sounds like he is doing well. He has been given some student leadership positions and is quickly learning his new trade. I'll spend a couple of days getting her settled (Tim's only allowed off the base for short periods). Then it'll be back home. I think I'll go through the smokey mountains on the way back to check out some cabins for http://www.cabinquest.us. My little site. :O)

I've been listening to the results of the Republican primaries and trying to decide what my path will be if. If McCain wins the nomination. I can't help but respect and honor John McCain for what he has done for this country. And I believe that he is an honorable man in his quest for the presidency and he is true to his convictions. I just don't believe he's the one that I want to vote for.

I've was driving through Georgia today and had the chance to hear Limbaugh and Hannity on the radio spewing thier foolishness and came to a conclusion. Before I support the Republican nomination I need to be true to my convictions and the Republican party is not my conviction. If I take all of the issues before us and put them in a list of importance it comes out that the issues of life are the most important to me.Sure, I'm concerned about foreign policy, taxes, the economy, smaller government but those things belong to Ceasar. I believe it's matters of life that God wants me to be concerned about. So I need to support a candidate whom I believe most closely meets that ideal.

My candidate is Mike Huckabee. My candidate will be Mike Huckabee. Regardless of who the Democrats or the Republicans put forward as thier candiate. My candidate will continue to be Mike Huckabee.

Thanks to Denise for pulling up these picture of Mike at Iowa's Straw Poll. I'm in the Yellow shirt on the right. Notice how intensly focused I am on the discussion!

Denise and Ruth are on thier way to Georgia. From what I understand there is some guy graduating from Army boot camp and they are going to the graduation. Rumor has it that we may be hearing wedding bells in December! Just pray that Denise is able to pry Ruth away from him at the end of the week when they are supposed to come home.

My wife, kids and I went to the Iowa straw poll for the first time this year. I like doing new things especially when I can do them with my kids. I also heard about this guy named Huckabee that was making a stir in the conservative circles that I run in. I have to tell you that I was really impressed with him once I met him. I've got some pictures somewhere. I'll post them when I find them. Anyway, talking with Mike was like talking with someone you've known your whole life. I really felt like he related to the issues with the same perspective as we do and had very common sense solutions to problems.   It was also very evident that Mike is a very sharp man and is able to think on his feet. If you haven't taken a good look at him you need to. Don't let the media tell you who can win this or who you should vote for. Pick the man that you want to win! /slj

Ruth and I are heading to Arizona Reservation Ministries this summer for a short mission trip. This time I'm taking a group of 15 people down from our church. We have 7 youth and 8 adults going. I believe we are going to be helping on some new property that will serve as ARMs' headquarters or doing a building project on the reservation itself. Either way I'm excited to be going. Last year we had such a good time doing the Vacation Bible School. I hope we get to work with the people of San Carlos some more too.

Spring is here and we're starting to get ready for those summer jobs of mowing and gardening. I've got a planter out front that needs to be worked on. That may be my first project.

Nothing can be an easy thing for me. I've had new strings to put on my guitar for months. Something always comes up. I didn't want to change them right before I was going to play for something. I was too busy afterward. Then I wanted to change the weight of the strings, even though I had a set already bought. So then I had to buy some different ones.   But, I never had the checkbook or any cash.

Well, you'll be glad to know that I finally got some money, got some time and changed my strings. I broke one and it was almost too short to string, and I damaged another so I can see exactly where its going to break someday. Now I'm a nervous wreck. I can't stand it knowing that one of the strings may break. I may need to start thinking about changing them some day.

I just can't leave this thing alone. I just got the email feature fixed on WordPress and then decided to move my whole site over to e107. So here it is. Just a fledgling site.

I moved the picture gallery over as well. It's now integrated into e107 so it should be easier to manage. The theme will match up with the e107 theme. etc.

So that's it for now. I got more work to do! CabinQuest.us
