#1 Congratulations to my brothers, both are graduating this semester.  Josh is graduating from Liberty as a Varsity Debater with a BA in Government.  He is planning to attend William and Mary, but is holding out for UVA.  My other brother, Joseph, is graduating from high school in northern Virginia.  He and Jeremiah (yet another one of my brothers) are planning on attending Liberty in the fall.  I am proud of all three of them and they have grown up to be upstanding gentlemen.

#2 My wife has finished the manuscript for her first book.  Now there is editing and finalizing issues, but she is about to be published for her first time.  I am very proud of her and hope that her book is the first of many.  (now what can I write on?...hmm)  The book is about how to handle the first few years of marriage.  Books of this nature are few and far between.  Most deal with how to get out of messes and stay out, but the fresh opinion of a newly married man/woman can be validating and encouraging most of the time.  This is not to mention helpful and this book provides helpful hints on ones spiritual walk, in-laws, love, and finances.  I will post excerpts later on.

#3 For all of you that were praying, you will be glad to know that Isaac Lofton came home last week.  He is completely normal and is staying awake more and more every day.  His parents have a full load, just in watching him.  Their churches Sunday School class has been very supportive by bring over dinner for three.  He is a precious one that earns his name "laughter" as he tries to smile often.  He is teaching us and his parents a thing or too about God's relationship with us.

#4I know that this is very late, but it just occurred to me.  Have you ever tried to flush a Koran down the toilet?  I mean really people, I have to unclog my toilet for less paper than is in the pages of the Islamic Holy Book.  I really would like to see a physical demonstration.  Newsweek or any in the American media probably will not try it, but I hope that some one in Canada will record Al Jaerzera (I will correct the spelling) playing one of the terrorists trying to do so.  I think the picture here really does illustrate that it would be incredibly difficult to flush my Greek N.T. down the toilet, while pretending to be the Koran.  Why do we believe people that sell used cars with bombs attached?

#5 Facebook is possibly the most addicting people meeting webtool in the history of the internet.  At least it is for little old low bandwith me.  The program files people away by a variety of interests, mostly having to do with career and school.  The principle is that everyone knows everybody in the world through other people.  When one adds one to their "friends" they are connected to their friends forming somewhat of a chain.  It is a great way to keep in contact with some guys that you went to school with, but have not seen in years.  The best thing is the lack of time that it takes to keep up with it.

P.S. Copyright Issues:  I do not own Facebook or a Koran and I wrote neither.
