Yat's

Tonight, the Corinth Crew (AKA, our Bible study group) is going out to eat and having a last hurrah. Shaunessy is leaving to do nursing relief work in the Sudan and Ben is going to Virginia Beach and then to Florida with Campus Crusade. Then in the near future, Anne and I will be leaving, and so will Josh. I think that's all - for what is planned. So we're going to eat at this unique and new (I think) place called Yat's. Then we're going to have an all our war on the ping pong table at Shaunessy's. OK, maybe we'll just hang out and have a party. Either way, it'll be time for the cameras so we won't forget each others faces. :)

Neue Praesident

Austria has elected a new president - Heinz Fischer.
I don't know anything about him, really. But I read something interesting about the other main candidate. Benita Ferrero-Waldner gathered up 47.59% of the votes, but it wasn't enough as Fischer brought in 52.4%. During the campaign, Ms. Ferrero-Waldner (yes, Miss) stopped in the southern province/state of Carinthia where Joerg Haider is governor. Maybe you've heard of him. As a supporter of Ferrero-Waldner, Haider presented her with a live pig as a good luck gift.

Odd, strange? Seems that way to me - and I just hope he wasn't trying to hint at her hygiene or eating habits. :)

Subservient Chicken

Check this out, if you have a high speed internet connection. I've never seen anything like this!!! It's strange and funny. Some of my favorites are "do the worm", "pick up the tv", and "run". Tell him what to do.

Mornin'

No matter how today is going, I choose to accept God's grace. It's truly amazing. Where else can I go, since he is the giver of life? I submit to the one and only.

Only 50 Grand for a Cat

I think this is an actual company, but it's crazy to think it's true. Click 'n Clone. Oh, and notice the company name, complete with play on words.

Hey Bob!!

This might be a good investment for you. :)

Can I get a...

Anne and I have a few big gatherings coming up where we'll talk about Austria, teaching at VCS, and asking people to consider supporting us in some way. One of those will be next Friday night in Bloomington - all the families and kids from Anne's 5th grade class from last year have been invited. That's 4/16, and it's being hosted by one of those families from the 5th grade class.
Then on Friday 4/30, our very own John and Kim (uncle and aunt) will be throwing a party for the same purpose. They've already been bathing it in prayer - daily, and we have joined in. That is so encouraging to us!
Wanna join?!? :)
