Poughts!

Pictures + Thoughts = Poughts!
(It's weird, I know.)

Maybe this is why it's taken sooo long to make snow, the architects are busy creating each individual snow flake and making sure none of them are the same. Celebrate the snow with a t-shirt!


Anna and I had fun on Saturday at the Park in the Mall of America. Can you tell how tired I am? Anna was up at 3:00 am that morning. No exaggeration!

Just to be fair to the Packer fans in my family, here is the cheesehead version of our baby. (Poor little guy/gal.)

And of course the baby which bleeds purple!


Last but not least...


Leif won this year's Johnson/Eidsmoe Traveling Trophy (JETT)! The past winners have been Kevin, Leif, and Bruce. Good job Leif winning the Spuddogs title a second time.

Some of you have been asking for the final results of this year's pigskin pick'em, so here ya go:
  • 1. Leif (Injury Prone) 166 pts
  • 2. Bruce (Kayaker) 161 pts*
  • 3. Erin (Favre4Ever) 152 pts
  • 3. Bernt (Toasted) 152 pts
  • 5. Josh (Shake N' Bake) 151 pts
  • 5. Kevin (MVP#4) 151 pts
  • 7. Deb (MomE) 148 pts
  • 8. Cyri (cyri) 138 pts
  • 9. Danae (Lil Rookie) 133 pts**
  • 10. De (Farve's Final Hurrah) 132 pts
* Dad had forgotten to make his picks the final week so this was his adjusted score.
** Danae also did not make her picks the final week and I know De was hoping to get last so I gave Danae the benefit of the doubt. (And yes, that is how De spelled Favre.)

Monday, January 15th, 2007/Joshua chapters 5-8

NOTE: This was yesterday's readings but since it coincided with the message that Pastor Chris spoke on Sunday, I thought I would put it in today.

GOD'S MESSAGE FOR ME TODAY
"Then afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessing and the curse, according to all that is written in the book of the law. " Joshua 8:34

HOW DOES THIS APPLY TO MY LIFE?
"The Blessing and the curse" was what the Law was in the Old Testament. (Moses also used this phrase in Deuteronomy 11:26-28.) It was a blessing in that God rewarded Israel for it's obedience and a curse in that when Israel sinned, they would be punished. Thank God for sending His Son to fulfill the Law! (Matthew 5:17).

What can I say? You got me. Although in my defense, the first time I posted the Vikings version, it was a close up and not the full version.

Does that cut it?
