Disneyland Adventure Picture Story
April 29, 2008
Catrina and I were gone last week to Anaheim for my job with GSA to take part in a big Convention that they put on every year. We had a great time. I was done ‘working’ on Thursday and so we met up with my friend Ryan and his girlfriend Nan on Friday to go to Disneyland for the day. Following are some pictures from our day at the Happiest Place on Earth (TM):
Catrina and I at the beginning of a long (and fun) day at Disneyland:
Me and Ryan, who is doubling as a best friend and tour guide for the day, in a treehouse:
The four of us in ToonTown:
Why buy hats when you can just try them on and take pictures?
My cute little Mouse Wife:
Ryan’s getting to old to lift heavy things:
Apparently this is a good place to take a picture…not really sure why but the sign says so:
And finally, what a long day at Disneyland does to a pregnant woman…
For the purposes of full disclosure, this picture was actually taken on Monday…three days after our Disneyland Adventure, however shortly after an outing to some shops in downtown Enumclaw. She looks mighty peaceful, doesn’t she?
14 Old Testament Ways to Get a Wife
April 17, 2008
To be honest, I’m glad I went with eHarmony…
Forget eHarmony or any other on-line matchmaking service. If you need some tips on finding a wife, maybe these examples from the Old Testament will help.
- Find an attractive prisoner of war, bring her home, shave her head, trim her nails, and give her new clothes. Then she’s yours. – (Deuteronomy 21:11-13)
- Find a prostitute and marry her. – (Hosea 1:1-3)
- Find a man with seven daughters, and impress him by watering his flock.- Moses (Exodus 2:16-21)
- Purchase a piece of property, and get a woman as part of the deal. – Boaz (Ruth 4:5-10)
- Go to a party and hide. When the women come out to dance, grab one and carry her off to be your wife. – Benjaminites (Judges 21:19-25)
- Have God create a wife for you while you sleep.-Adam (Genesis 2:19-24)
- Agree to work seven years in exchange for a woman’s hand in marriage. Get tricked into marrying the wrong woman. Then work another seven years for the woman you wanted to marry in the first place. – Jacob (Genesis 29:15-30)
- Cut 200 foreskins off of your future father-in-law’s enemies and get his daughter for a wife -David (I Samuel 18:27)
- Even if no one is out there, just wander around a bit and you’ll definitely find someone. -Cain (Genesis 4:16-17)
- Become the emperor of a huge nation and hold a beauty contest. – Xerxes or Ahasuerus (Esther 2:3-4)
- When you see someone you like, go home and tell your parents, “I have seen a … woman; now get her for me.” If your parents question your decision, simply say, “Get her for me. She’s the one for me.” – Samson (Judges 14:1-3)
- Kill any husband and take his wife. -David (2 Samuel 11)
- Wait for your brother to die. Take his widow. -Onana and Boaz (Deuteronomy or Leviticus, example in Ruth)
- Don’t be so picky. Make up for quality with quantity. – Solomon (1 Kings 11:1-3)

Humility and Wisdom
April 11, 2008
Proverbs 11:2 When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.
One of my daily prayers is that the Lord would keep me humble. I know that I constantly battle pride in my life…and I don’t think I’m alone.
My prayer is that the Lord would make me humble and keep me humble, and in that place bring me wisdom. It’s easy to see how the two go hand in hand. If I’m walking in humility, I’m walking in submission to Christ and His Word. In that place, in fearing the Lord, the wisdom I so earnestly desire is available (Psalm 111:10).

Where do I find my contendedness? In my work? In Christ? What about in Christ in my work?
