The Problem with McCain

Tonight, during the second debate featuring Republican presidential nominee, moderator Brit Hume posed a question to the ten candidates about a hypothetical terrorist attack on our soil:

Two major shopping malls have been hit, with a third hit heavily rumored. The terrorists responsible have been apprehended at Gitmo for questioning: and they have the specifics on the next attack. With the clock ticking on American lives, how far would you go to the information if you were president?

A Short Post

On my way to work today I thought I spotted a Polar Bear in sunny Orlando.

Instead, it was a beautiful, snowy-white dog known as an Akita. The dog, whose name escapes me at the moment (but it was something exotic sounding like Noshuba or Nosabu), eagerly greeted me. In fact, he was so eager that I worried he would relieve himself before his owner could get him to continue "walking" around the hotel.

I realize this was a pretty short post. It reminds my of a song I learned in preschool:

There was an old lady who swallowed a fly.
I don't know why she swallowed a fly.
Perhaps she'll die.

So in this case it would be:

A guy named Brian wrote a short post.
I don't know why he wrote a short post.
He shouldn't boast.

A Boasting Life

I WILL bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

My life makes its boast in the Lord; let the humble and afflicted hear and be glad.

O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together.

-- Psalm 34:1-3

What does your life boast in?

Accomplishments? Talent? Recognition?

Surely, a self-centered, braggadocios lifestyle will ultimately lead to emptiness.

I'd rather focus all of my exaltation on the One who is bigger than my vaporous life.

I'd prefer to boast in the One who is larger than all my problems and situations.

Cinco De Mayo Fiesta at El Chico

What better way to celebrate the 5th of May in Central Florida than a road trip to Melbourne for a Tex-Mex fiesta frenzy at El Chico? Their immaculate chips and salsa could be used for currency in some small countries, and their Carne Asada isn't bad either. My boss Karla and our good friend Cindy decided to come along for a first hand Cinco De Mayo celebration, El Chico style. They were NOT disappointed.
