I found an awesome Quote

I heard this qouted on KSL today. I loved it and I am always a fan for C.S. Lewis.

"I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept his claim to be God. That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronising nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to" (Mere Christianity Lewis 1952, pp. 43).

Sanding Sensations

A few years ago I inheritated an old sewing table that used to belong to Wayne's grandmother. It has the coolest black sewing machine, but the table was a weird medium brown. When I got it, I decided to sand it down and paint it black to match the machine. Fast forward three years, we're moving into our new home, and the table is still brown. So I decided to finally put my money where my mouth is and get the work done. DANG! Sanding is HARD! Lexi "helped" a bit, and Wayne took some pictures during the gruelling process. In the end, after two days I finally got the thing painted, but I ran out of paint before I could do a second coat. So... it's done... sort of. It's still in the garage, but hopefully I'll finish it this weekend. Will I do this sort of project again.... eh.... we'll see. I'll post pics of the finished project. Better be by monday or everyone has permission to mock me profusely.

Lehi House

Liz, Alexis and I just moved into our new home in Lehi, Utah. This comes after a year and a half living in an apartment. It is really nice to have a garage and a place for Alexis to "Spread her wings". We are very greatful to be in a home and look forward to years of enjoyment in this house. Another bonus to this home and the neighbor hood is that we live just around the corner from Cory and Mindy.

These pictures are of the house before we moved in. I will try to get some taken post move-in.

Young Love

This slide show is awesome. I found these old pictures that Liz and I had done for Christmas cards in 2002. We were married for just 3 months. My inlaws still have this picture up at their house and I get a kick out of it everytime I see it because, Liz used Photoshop to whiten our teeth. Our teeth were really white! I will try to find that one..but for now, here is what you get.

Cochlear Implant

March 2006 brought sad news to our family. Liz started noticing that little Alexis was not responding to audible stimulus. We tried or a week or so to prove our theory. We made several attempts to get her attention by banging pans together or talking really loud behind her. Nothing worked! We took her into Utah Valley Regional Medical Center to test her hearing. We first tried a simple hearing test, but the results were in-conclusive, but did have a hint of hope that perhaps some hearing existed. Because Alexis would not relax we had to go to a certain test that required sedation....read more
