Sorry for not posting lately - not much has changed. The main thing that has changed is that I may have West Nile Virus. I have some type of viral infection and I have most of the symptoms of West Nile. I was out of commission for 3 days - feeling much better now. Lauren and I went to OxBow Park and I know I got bitten by mosquitoes a few times. They drew some blood yesterday and it'll take about a week to get the results back if I do indeed have West Nile or not.
I went to the eye doctor this morning and renewed my prescription - a little stronger and what do you know? I can see! I also decided to get a back up pair of glasses.
Not much other than that changing. I have just about one year left until I'm done with school - should all things go according to plan.
We are still thinking of living in Vancouver Washington when I'm done with school - avoid the extortionist taxes here in Oregon.
As far as church goes, Lauren and I have decided to stop going to the one we had been going to. They brought in (and fully support) this local author who wrote a book about environmentalism and how "God is green". Which we whole heartily disagree with. God does NOT care about the earth - it is after all going to be burned up in the end. He created everything (EVERYTHING) for us, for mankind. He cares about our relationship with Him, THAT is the most important thing. To be honest I always had some reservations about this church, I wasn't sure why, but I just never felt 100% right with it. So for now Lauren and I read the Word on our own on Sundays and aren't worrying about finding a new church. That is just one less thing to worry about and thus less stress on us.
Until my next post....

Yup! I'm glad you are not dead :-) Love you babe!
God created the earth and all of its creatures. God gave us this gift from which we could sustain ourselves while seeking a path to righteousness. It is our responsibility to care for the gifts our Lord has provided. It is a gross disrespect to God and his gift to ravage and plunder it. There is no shame in your church seeking ways to show the Lord that they value what he has given them. You are obviously a devout Christian; but I think you might want to sit down and look at the Word with open eyes. You will see more of God's love if you do.
For one, there is no path to righteousness, there is only Christ; and in Him alone are believers made righteous. Second God placed all the resorces we use (oil, gas, nucular, coal, ect) for our benefit so that we might have a richer life and gain knowledge. Thirdly (and lastly) "open eyes" is the same thing as "open mind" which is akin to not having control of what you let into your mind, that is why I am proud to say I have a closed mind. The Word says what It says and I believe it, 100%; and no where does it say we must "care" for "mother earth".
