The End of 2009

2009 has been a challenging year in some ways and a blessing in others. Work has been really hard with every salary person required to take a week off without pay. This hurt the pocket book personally; but also meant that roughly half the weeks this year my department was short handed. This made it difficult for us to meet our goals. Thankfully my team pulled together and stepped up to the challenge and was succesful. Kudos to all of them for what they did.

As 2008 came to a close, my family had not found a church we were comfortable with. Early in 2009 we found New Hope and have attended ever since. New Hope is a good church where people who want to, can get involved. Both Alexis and I have been involved from the very begining. Alexis sings with the praise team and helps with the children's ministry. I have been leading the prayer time and doing anouncements, atleast 1/2 the time. It has been good for both of us, and helped us get to where we are today. We are ready to take it to the next level.

As we begin 2010 we are looking forward to see what God has in store for us. Our prayer is that God uses us this year more than He has in the past. We are confident that He will bless us this year, so we can bless others. I want to introduce more people to Christ and help others see what God has in store for them.

It is now 2010!

Praise God for all that He has done, what He is doing, and what He will do! I for one am looking forward to it.

Blessings to All!

Get Your Christmas On! We all need it!

Those that know me well, know that I love celebrating Christmas and everything it really stands for. They also know that I don't start celebrating it until the day after Thanksgiving.  Don't get me wrong, I love my Savior, I love that His birth was the beginning of so many great things that changed me and saved my life. But for the past 40 plus years I wanted to celebrate one holiday at a time and Thanksgiving is one of my favorite. Good food, family, and friends and I did not want to skip over it, I want to enjoy every minute of Thanksgiving.  That being said, I think the world needs more Christmas.  Turn on the news and you will hear about people being shot, police officers being targeting, crime on the rise, and so much more. The hatred that is being spewed by one group of people because you don't agree with them, and the hatred that is being shot back. The tension is high due to race, violence, sexual orientation, religion, politics, and just about anythi...

Should Religion be Taught in Public Schools - Written by my 14 year old son.

Following is a paper written by my 14 year old son, Chris. He thought about the topic, did the research, and came to his own conclusions. I am very proud of him, his thought process, and the decisions he is making. I told him that I was proud of him and wanted to share this on my blog and he said ok. God Bless, Robert Should World Religion Be Taught In Public Schools? There are nineteen major religions in the world, and these are some of the known religions: Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Islam, Mormon, Sikhism, Baha’ism, Confucianism, Jainism, and Shintoism. A religion is considered a major religion based on the number of followers. For an example, Sikhism has a following of twenty- three million people, and Shintoism has a following of 4 million. While Christianity, one of the most popular religions, has 2.1 billion followers. With this many religions and their conflicting views, religion should not be taught in public school. The reason why religion should not be taug...
