All About Bentley

I just finished reading the Bible! The whole thing. One of my goals for 2007 was to follow a daily bible reading schedule. I've tried doing this for the last few years but got so far behind at times that I just couldn't make myself catch up. But this year I did it. I think the furthest behind I ever got was 5 days and that was just over this Christmas holiday. I started off with the NIV this year but Deborah reads the Message. About halfway through the year I started reading it too and have really grown to like it. I'm really proud of myself. For someone that calls himself a Christian I really dont know my bible very well so this was something I really felt I needed to do. And yesterday we bought a chronological bible and I plan on reading it in 2008.

The language is a wee bit colorful but I'm posting this anyway. Featuring Elwood Bentley as Clarence.

Ok I'm obviously not Jewish but when making the Christmas Card below I also made this Hanukkah greeting, and it cracks me up so I thought I'd share:

I just discovered that my old buddy Chad has a link to my page from his page. I'm so touched. Chad and I worked together about 10 years ago. I changed jobs, he went into the Air Force and for awhile we stayed in touch. And he hosted my website for free for a long time. But I haven't talked to him in a few years now. And to find a link to my site from his....I'm touched. So see, the day IS getter better (in reference to my previous post from about 30 minutes ago)

Well I just talked to my new neighbor. I'd met him once before but just a quick hello. He's about to graduate from college and is apparently a trust fund baby or something, and he paid cash for his house. Anyway, this time we had a nice little chat. Oh and its 3:30am. And about 20 minutes ago I was asleep. He and about 20 of his friends are having a little get together. And they're being really loud, and drinking, and using language I don't care to use. So as the man of the house and the father of 3 I have to maintain the peace. I kept telling myself before I went over to keep my cool. I forgot when I got there. But as I started talking I calmed myself. We agreed that if he just turned down the music and kept his friends in the house it would be OK. Not sure about the friends but so far he's not keeping up his end of the bargain about the music. If I went back with my kids in their PJ's crying because they couldn't sleep maybe that would help. Sorry for the

I've added music to this blog. Probably not anything anyone but me likes though. If you dont like it scroll ALLLLLLLL the way to the bottom and you'll see the player. You can stop it from there. Or just turn off your sound. And I'm sure I'll take it off soon enough, I dont typically include multimedia on my websites. Keep checking back, I'll have pictures of the Bentleys Winter Wonderland posted in the next few days. I know everyone is on the edge of their seats waiting for pictures.
