Matthew 7:13-14
"Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.
For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it."

I interpret that to mean that most people are heading to hell and the minority ("few") are on their way to Heaven. When you think about this passage for awhile it's difficult not to fully examine your life and personal relationship with Christ, as well as have a renewed passion to be an effective witness for Christ in the lives of the lost around you.

The Beauty of Aging

Getting old is something that should be embraced and welcomed. The older we get the more time we have to stop thinking and acting like idiots as we hopefully mature and gain some proper perspective on life. Christians, even more so, should look forward to aging since it means getting closer to leaving this place (dying) and going to live eternally with God in Heaven on a new earth.

For theDan aging has involved slow maturation (very slow at times), realization that the body does need to be stretched out, a sore hip, a wonderful wife and child, an increasing desire to focus all energy on things that have value/meaning, a decreasing desire to stay up past 9:30, and a greater appreciation for the things that I have been blessed with.
I must thank my father for one of those blessings that is at this moment enriching my life, that's right the Porta 3B (Big, Bold, Beautiful) Hair. One could spend an hour staring at the hair of Chuck, marveling at how it stays so poofy and it would not be a wasted hour.

Words cannot do it justice. Below are pictures...experiences that are my attempt to honor theChuck. His example is one of living the gift and I can only hope to leave the same legacy for my son. As you take in and digest the Porta 3B Hair, think of your own aging and the gifts that you have been given and thank the people responsible.


Note: No hair product was/ever is used, the Porta 3B rejects product.






I wear the hair and pants of Chuck.





Thank you Dad, thank you!

A New Year

My blog silence has caused too much damage (ie. the current economic crisis), I have left you (the world) on your own for too long and it is time for me to come back and help you. I was hoping that with a little tough love I might be able to encourage you to fly on your own. So I pushed you out of the nest (by not blogging and feeding your knowledge starved minds) only to watch you fall straight to the ground, you were not ready. This year I plan to blog at least twice a month so you can come to the fountain of reason and truth and begin to get back on your feet. As usual my blogs will be insightful, soaked in logic and life altering. I will also occasionally throw in a lighter blog that will be as the life sustaining morning dew in the desert of your life.

Before I go and leave you to enjoy the excitement of my return I give you this list of Horrible Ideas, may you avoid them and rebuke those who partake in them:

HORRIBLE IDEAS

- dating (you should only be involved in courtships where the intent is to discover a spouse, nothing good comes from dating, the whole "you learn about relationships when you date" is crap)

- teaching your kids witchcraft (ie. letting them read Harry Potter or play with large cauldrons and dead animals)

- not ruling your emotions with the firm hand of logic

- PETA or any "save the animals/stop animal abuse/etc" type association (come on, people are homeless, starving and dying all over the world and you're gonna come on TV and tell me to give you $$$ because you found poor Rex in a garbage can!)

- valuing open-mindedness over truth (sorry but there is black and white and right and wrong in a lot of situations, it's good to be closed-minded in those instances)

- altering Chipotle and Chinese take-out for more than 2 meals in a row

- junior high and high school dances (at best they don't cause immorality but nothing good can or will ever come from them...unless your a fan of forming useless relationships, premarital sex and teenage pregnancy)

- challenging Jason Hetland to a Flex-Off

- filming an epic snow football match on a device that is not compatible with the average computer thus hindering the world from viewing the amazing footage

- insulting any member of my family

- getting upset over who's elected to the Presidency, doesn't matter who's there, God is still God

- being serious all the time

- thinking I'm wrong about any of the aforementioned items

Digest what I have given, I shall be back soon with more.
