Last night, Mommy and Mikey were playing on the piano.  Mommy turned to a page in The Childrens Songbook.  She asked Mikey is he knew what song it was.  He said “I Am a Child of God”, which is correct. We asked him how he knew it.  “Did you read it” Mommy asked.  He said “Yes.  See there is an ‘o-f” there.  That says of.

Top 10 responses to “Oh, if something bad happens,
I’ll just come to your house!”

10. Not without six months of your own supplies, you won’t.

9. Yeah, your family means so little to you, I’ll be sure to pick up your slack.  Why don’t you bring all your credit card debt while you’re at it.

8. Sweet! We needed a decoy to walk the wire and be the first person shot!

7. Just be sure you show up with a ladder. Not sure how many corpses you’ll have to climb over.

6. I may give you the shirt off my back, but try to take it, and I can only spare half a buck worth of subsonic copper hollow-points.

5. Hey, bring all the barter goods you want - I love to haggle. A roll of TP will get you past the dogs.

4. Be sure to bring some good boots, cuz you’ll be up to your ankles in horse crap earning your keep.

3. Fine by me. I hear people taste like chicken.

2. Make sure you come early - the first five help me shoot the next fifty.

#1 is a tie:

1. “Don’t do that, Mommy will just shoot you and make Daddy bury you in the backyard.” (Are my kids great or what?)

1. “What, you thought I was gonna bunker down somewhere people can find me?” (Note found in my empty house)

What do you guys think?  Time to Get Prepared?

This is a high quality version of the Financial Services Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations hearing of May 5, 2009.

Rep. Alan Grayson asks the Federal Reserve Inspector General about the trillions of dollars lent or spent by the Federal Reserve and where it went, and the trillions of off balance sheet obligations. Inspector General Elizabeth Coleman responds that the IG does not know and is not tracking where this money is.

Monday night, Mikey and I were driving.  We went first to the Post Office.  When we got back in the car and I was buckling him in, he told me “Daddy, I see ‘of’.  See, ‘O-F’”.  I looked where he was pointing and it was the Post Office sign, and, sure enough, there is an “O-F” in Office.  I told him “Yeah, O-F does spell of.  It also has an F-I-C-E.  When you put that all together ‘O-F-F-I-C-E’, you know what that spells Mikey?”  “What?”  “Office”.  “Oh, and if you put “P-O-S-T” in front of that, you know what that spells Daddy?  Post Office.”

Later, we were driving by a Walgreens.  As you may know, the Walgreens logo is in red.  Mikey told me “Daddy, there’s Walgreens.  But the letters are all in red.  Maybe they should be ‘Walreds’.”

Pinocchio, Snow White, and Superman are out for a stroll in town one day. As they walked, they come across a sign: “Beauty contest for the most beautiful woman in the world.”

“I am entering!” said Snow White. After half an hour she comes out and they ask her, “Well, how’d ya do?”

“First Place!” said Snow White.

They continue walking and they see a sign: “Contest for the strongest man in the world.”

“I’m entering,” says Superman. After half an hour, he returns and they ask him, “How did you make out?”

“First Place,” answers Superman. “Did you ever doubt?”

They continue walking when they see a sign: “Contest! Who is the greatest liar in the world?” Pinocchio enters.

After half an hour he returns with tears in his eyes.

“What happened?” they asked.

“Who the heck is this Nancy Pelosi?” asked Pinocchio.

I’ve been in contact with a Registered Instructor for the American Radio Relay League here in Vegas.  He has offered to come to the LDS Church near my house to teach free Ham Radio classes.  The classes will most likely be Wednesday or Thursday night at about 6:30 pm and will last for 6-weeks.  Anyone interested?

Mikey has thrown up several times over the last couple days.  Not something he normally does.  Well tonight, as he was about to go to bed, he was saying his prayers, which went something like this:

“Dear Heavenly Father, please bless that we can have a good night sleep and that we can get up in the morning, and that I won’t throw up.   In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.”

I thought it was very sweet and cute.

Does not one person need repentance more than another?  Ezra and Baruch protested to God that while Israel had sinned, the Gentiles had acted much worse, and asked why they should be let off so much more easily.  But God was not buying that argument.  You can always file somebody who is worse than you are to make you feel virtuous.  It’s a cheap shot; those awful terrorists, perverts, communists - they are the ones who need to repent!  Yes, indeed they do, and for them repentance will be a full-time job, exactly as it is for all the rest of us.
