special ops jedi gill

My good pal, Gill Henkle, is the closest thing we have to a jedi in this world. Here we see Gill in one of the Middle Eastern theaters of conflict. He is one of my hero's because he sticks his neck out for all of us here and misses so much time with his family to do his job.

I'm sure many people have different ideas about the decisions made by administrations past and present... yet one thing we can all agree on, is that the faithful service carried out by people like Gill should never be forgotten nor should it be impuned.

Godspeed to you and your family Gill. May the Good Lord shine his face upon you and give you peace.

finite first day..

Malakai's first day of pre-preschool was one that I actually missed. I rendered this from a photo that the lovely misses took, and he seemed so melancholy...I may have exaggerated this emotion, but I hope I captured it. He happens to love school now.

stages of teddy bear life

Artist Stephanie Metz does a wonderful service to life with this incredible idea. The stages of development from a teddy bears perspective, in which children, might gain an understanding of the miracle of life. What an imaginative way to simplify the goings on within the womb when life is being fearfully and wonderfully woven together. I'm looking for this set for my own children's education! I probably won't get the skull rendition of teddy bear, however, I also applaud a very seemingly original idea.

BLEGS... or bleggin it.

I am coining this phrase: "blegs" or "bleggin it". These youths with their tight pants hanging down pass their bottom...it appears as if their back flows right to the leg, without the interruption of the cheeks we sit upon. Hence the combination word back+legs=blegs, kinda like calves+ankles=cankles? It's not as mean as the later, and its not meant to be mean, just to describe such a strange fashion expression. I watch as the pants are constantly being pulled up, only to slide back down...this could prove injurious if one was running and the pants slipped to trip up the stride! Blegs! I always make the statement when I see the youth group kids blegging it. Ha!
