Savannah and Zoey...

I love that my dogs love me, but this may a bit much. I did not call them to me nor place them in position for this picture. They made themselves comfortable and Cory took the picture. They are crazy but so stinkin' cute!!

Sorry Becky!

So my friend Becky and I teamed up for Halloween and had a blast carving these pumpkins. Becky, I'm sorry it took me so long to post. I complete forgot until we used the camera again! I know the picture is a little dark but it is best with us and the pumpkins.

Never Have I Done This

As you know from the side of blog, I am reading the book Paul. However, I must stop reading it on only page 16. Cory bought me the book super excited because I love Paul and I love history. The book says it is a biography of Paul, and I am sure it is according to the secular world, but not me. The claim of the book is that Paul is more central to Christianity than Christ himself, and without Paul, Christianity would have remained a herectical sect of Judaism. Some disclaimers: I am by no means against educating myself so as to increase my intellect of what world believes in order to show them how awesome Christ is; I love reading; usually I don't become angry at a book so early.

1. Wilson claims any history of Jesus' life and shortly thereafter is irrecoverable.
2. Wilson claims Paul had no reason for murderous attitudes toward Christians.
3. Wilson claims Stephen, first martyr in Acts, did not believe in the divinity of Christ, that he was the Son of God, or part of the Trinity.
4. Wilson also claims Revelation written by John only pertains to the destruction of Jerusalem and he got it wrong.
5. Wilson claims Paul nor Jesus believed that Christianity would ever be a religion because the world has existed 1900 years longer than either man anticipated.

This are simply the claims I remember as I forgot to bring the book, and only in the first 16 pages. I understand that if you aren't a believer, this could make sense to you, but it enrages me. Cory and I are doing the Truth Project, and Dr. Tackett say we should not be surprised that the Word of God is questioned as it is the only perfect yet incomplete picture of who God and Man is. Therefore, since man is trying to distance himself from God, he will attack the Scriptures.

I struggle with myself to stop reading it but I am angry. What aggravates me more, the same author has the best-selling book Jesus: A Biography. At this point in my life, I am to come down on the side of caution and not let someone who does not love God influence my opinion of Him. While I am stubborn, I also am weak. Finding something for a quiet time and doing it more regularly is more important. Thanks Amanda for sending for the study on Ruth! I started this morning and already feel blessed and at peace.

Now, I need to find a new book to read.

The last two weeks!

I know I am slacking some so I apologize. The last two or so weeks have been a bit crazy. Last weekend, Cory and I spent much of our time at our church helping as we hosted a large youth conference. God did awesome things. Also last weekend, I had the opportunity to go to Missoula and play in a co-ed volleyball tournament. It was so much fun!!! I was so sore but had a so much fun and I had Cold Stone!! YUMMY!! While we were in Missoula though, a dear friend of ours father died in Great Falls. As a church family, we wanted to come and support them in anyway possible. For us, that mean organizing dinners up until the funeral. The funeral was on Thursday and a true way to celebrate the man's life.

A new receptionist also started at work this last week, meaning I have had little time to actually do my work because I am training her. She is fabulous, but still takes time away.

MAFB started the NSI/ORI inspection today which means Cory works 6:30-6:30 for the next two weeks! YUCK! Basically, this inspection is huge and if MAFB fails it, there will be a lot of ramifications and another inspection in 90 days. that also means no on goes home for Thanksgiving!!! Please pray for MAFB. Right now, other nuke bases have not done too stellar and we need to show that at least one nuke base is doing it right. Selfishly, I want Cory to come to Texas too for Thanksgiving!

Coming up is not much other than Halloween. No plans of yet and then Thanksgiving!! Can't wait.

Love ya!
