Assassinated

First off that is a hard word to spell. Could it get a few more s’ses. (How do you spell esses, apostrophes or what…)

Anyhow. Some friends and I were discussing movies and what not last night, and Milk came up. Well we couldn’t decide if he was assassinated or murdered? What level of political office do you have to achieve to be assassinated (from here on out this will be abbreviatted to AS). Is it only a federal level thing? And do you have to be in politics at all to be AS? Could I be AS? It all seemed very confusing.

Is it only when you do it for hire, or it is some kind of hit? Or are murder and AS the same thing? Very confused. There was a movie Assassin (Stallone maybe?) and I think Marky Mark was an assassin once, but it doesn’t seem to clarify it for me.

Could anyone shed some light on this?

The Student Ministries at church gives me opportunities to do some fun stuff. Below is the latest design for an upcoming message series. Thought I would share. Since I am down like that, yo.

Trapping

I love that God gave us dominion over the animals.

Especially dominion over animals that destroy your lawn. If you can’t tell that little guy above is a mole. I do not like moles…so the boy helped me set some traps last night…

I think I would like trapping for a living. Feeding the family, making pelts. Good stuff.

Now this would be an easy place to rant about PETA or animal rights folks in general, but really, that has been done too many times, right? I mean it is just too easy of a target and does any one agree with them anyhow? (Is anyhow a word, it should be…)

Idol

Ok, yea I see the show. I mean it is on in the background while I am reading the Bible. Whatever.

Who are you going for? Who is your final 12?

1. Alexis Grace 2. Allison Iraheta 3. Ann Marie Boskovich 4. Arianna Afsar 5. Casey Carlson 6. Felicia Barton 7. Jackie Tohn 8. Jasmine Murray 9. Jeanine Vailes 10. Jess Langseth 11. Kendall Beard 12. Kristen McNamara 13. Lil Rounds 14. Megan Corkrey 15. Mishavonna Henson 16. Stevie Wright 17. Tatiana Del Toro 18. Taylor Vaifanua 19. Adam Lambert 20. Alex Wagner-Trugman 21. Anoop Desai 22. Brent Keith 23. Danny Gokey 24. Jorge Nunez 25. Ju’not Joyner 26. Kai Kalama 27. Kris Allen 28. Matt Breitzke 29. Matt Giraud 30. Michael Sarver 31. Nathaniel Marshall 32. Nick Mitchell 33. Ricky Braddy 34. Scott MacIntyre 35. Stephen Fowler and 36. Von Smith

And this seasons voting is a little different…(maybe this is how it used to be years ago, I don’t know…)

The 36 semifinalists from last week have been divided into three semifinal groups. Each week one group takes centrestage. Only three finalists (with the highest number of votes, one male, one female and the next top vote getter) will advance to the finals. The Wildcard round will also return with the judges choosing three previously eliminated contestants, who will go through to the finals too.

So that is this years breakdown.

My final 12:

GUYS: Danny Gokey, Adam Lambert, Scott MacIntyre, Nick Mitchell, Matt Giraud, Matt Breitzke

GIRLS: Tatiana Del Toro, Jasmine Murray, Arianna Afsar, Alexis Grace, Allison Iraheta, Kendall Beard

Yours? Once there is a final 12 we’ll discuss the overall winner…I mean for you all who watch it. Don’t judge me.

Couple of pics for you all…

Friend and co-worker of mine is launching a book project. See her note below.

DIRTY GIRLS

Dirty Girls is a book that will discuss the widespread, yet silent battle women are facing with pornography addiction. Surveys are being conducted for women presently addicted to pornography, for women who have overcome a pornography addiction and for friends, family and accountability partners of women addicted to pornography.

Through analyzing surveys, as well as conducting interviews with those who have been affected by pornography, author Crystal Renaud will use her personal story of redemption and Biblical and practical tools for recovery, to show women they are not alone in their battle and the hope that freedom from a pornography addiction is possible.
