Torture?

So I am watching the news and the evaluation of the techniques used for suspected terrorists, which they are calling torture. The techniques included water boarding, (which is pouring a pitcher of water or running a hose over someone's face to simulate drowning), sleep deprivation for up to 11 days, face slapping with fingers, and being confined in a small room with an insect that is not capable of killing you. Now, I find it quite interesting that they are considering prosecuting the men that used these tactics (which were all legal) on suspected terrorists from 911. It is more than ironic for me to hear this news and how disheartened Obama is by the tactics used on the terrorists when he is NOT disheartened by placing infants in a room to die or by partial birth abortion, or any form of abortion for that matter. None of the tactics used on the suspected terrorists caused physical harm, death, or psychological damage, but abortion KILLS innocent babies. Food for thought.....

We had a wonderful Easter weekend! Egg Hunts, candy, bunny cake and we celebrated Jennifer's 32nd B-day. This year was a great time of pondering what Jesus Christ did for us 2000 years ago. It is so amazing to serve a HOLY GOD who holds the universe in His hands. What amazing love to send His only Son to die and be resurrected so that we may have life in Him. We cannot understand this love as humans, but I thank Him for it...today and everyday! Celebrate Him who is worthy! ISAIAH 53----READ IT!

EASTER!

Olympics

YEAH for the Olympics, our favorite thing to watch on TV!! Mark and I's favorites so far are of course Shawn Johnson (gymnast, pictured) and Michael Phelps (swimming). We will be glued to the television every night cheering the USA on. It has also been fun watching the Chinese women compete in gymnastics, and they prove to be quite the threat to the USA girls. I look forward to seeing what will happen in the finals.

Quality Time

It is so hard to believe that our son will be 2 next month! WOW, time flies. It is so amazing to watch him grow and learn. His new favorite activities are coloring, and saying "on, off" while he switches the lights on and off ALL OVER the house.
