Lots More Alaska Pictures
Here’s a lot more pictures from Alaska. I’m working on the video too. These things take time. I have graduation stuff to post too. Please bear with me.
Alaska Cruise
Here is the first set of pictures from our cruise to Alaska. This is just a sampling of over 200 pictures we (mostly Karri) took. I shot almost two hours of video. I plan to spend the next couple of weekends cutting and posting just about all of it, but this will do for starters.

Recount in New Hampshire!
From the Boston Herald:
At the request of U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich and another minor candidate who got only 44 votes, New Hampshire officials will conduct a hand recount of the Democratic and Republican presidential primaries.

Voter Fraud in New Hampshire
The internet was buzzing today with allegations of voter fraud in New Hampshire, but I bet you won’t hear about it on CNN or Fox. Google “voter fraud” + “New Hampshire” or go to digg.com and search there.
The most damning evidence came from Bev Harris of BlackBoxVoting.org, who got the head clerk of Sutton Township to admit that Ron Paul got 31 votes there when they had reported zero votes for him. There are a lot of little townships in New Hampshire. Bev Harris was the subject of an HBO documentary a couple of years ago called “Hacking Democracy” about how easy it is to steal an election now that we have electronic voting machines. Read more »
Count the Crooked Candidates
Judicial Watch recently released it’s list of their “Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians”. Fascinating! How many presidential candidates do you count?
Bloggin the Podcast
Happy New Year! Time for a change of scenery. I wasn’t planning on this, but I was working at Church this morning and things were going well. Bill was back (our Lead Pastor, he was sick last weekend), he was talking about God’s Grace and I was finally starting to feel it for the first time in weeks. It felt so good I wanted to share it. So I asked my good friend Les Faires, he’s the Media Director on staff at Neighborhood Church, if I could shoot a few pictures with my phone. He said sure, go ahead, so I’ve posted some shots of the video control room in action. This is where we edit the video for the video podcast as well as the video venues at church on Sunday. We have overflow services they call “video venues”. One of them has no live worship music, so we shoot the worship music for them at the early service on Sunday. The video podcast can be seen anywhere in the world with an internet connection, and you don’t need an iPod. You can watch it on your computer. Read more »
Sign Waving for Ron Paul
It was definitely an interesting experience, certainly a first for me. There I was on Dana Drive, at the main entrance to Mount Shasta Mall and Discovery Village along with fifteen or twenty other volunteers, waving a sign and handing out literature about Dr. Ron Paul’s campaign for president.

Ron Paul for President!
Old Business:
I promised almost a month ago that I would have lots of pictures to post from Mayhem in Mayville. I was given tons of pictures, they’re great and I really appreciate it, but it turns out they’re in the form of a slideshow on a DVD, so it’s not like I have a disk of jpeg files I can post. So if you really want to see them, I’m afraid you’ll have to come over to my house.
New Business:
I was trying to avoid election politics until the election year actually arrives, but they’ve moved the primaries up to January in so many states that I need to speak up now. First of all, if you live in Redding, please watch the news on Channel 7 at 6:00 and 11:00 tonight. Read more »
What is truth?
“Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.”
Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all. “
John 18:37,38 KJV
In a recent post I mentioned that I was planning on taking this blog in somewhat of a different direction. Well first of all, I never want to lose sight of the Gospel, so I pray that whatever I say here, no matter what the subject matter, is always anchored in His truth. Read more »
