The Great Cup Prank!!!

Some of the 1000 cups that covered our floor one morning (at the beginning of the year) when we woke up. A bunch of guys were in our house for 2 1/2 hours setting up cups filled with water and we didn't wake up!

We're now the "snowflake house". We have some other festive decorations inside too- red and green paper chains, and lights.

"Sonja's" play

We went to watch Sonja star as an insane woman in "the Tavern".

Quotes for Your Edification

"I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: 'I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God.' That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic -- on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg -- or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to." C.S. Lewis
"To deem all beliefs equally true is sheer nonsense for the simple reason that to deny that statement would also, then, be true. But if denial of the statement is also true, then all religions are not true." Ravi Zacharias
"No man knows how bad he is till he has tried very hard to do good... only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is...Christ, because He was the only man who never yeilded to temptation, is also the only man who knows to the full what temptation means." C.S. Lewis
"Go and preach the gospel. Use words if necessary." St. Francis
"Freedom is not always taken away by military force. Often it is whittled away by the controlling bodies when no opposition is voiced to immoral or gradually more entrapping legislation." Jesus Freaks vol. 2
"In commanding us to glorify him, God is invisting us to enjoy him." C.S. Lewis

Quotes for... just because

"I got some new pajamas with pockets in 'em. Which is great, because before that, I used to have to hold stuff when I slept. But now I'm like, 'Where's my planner? There it is. "Keep sleeping." All right, perfect.'" Demetri Martin
"I think life should be more like tv. I think all of life's problems ought to be solved in 30 minutes with simple homilies, don't you? I think weight and oral hygiene ought to be our biggest concerns. I think we should all have powerful, high-paying jobs, and everyone should drive fancy sports cars. All our desires should be instantly gratified. Women should always wear tight clothes, and men should carry powerful handguns. Life overall should be more glamorous, thrill-packed, and filled with applause, don't you think?" Calvin
"Swimming is a confusing sport, because sometimes you do it for fun, and other times you do it to not die. And when I'm swimming, sometimes I'm not sure which one it is. I gotta go by the outfit. Pants - uh oh. Bathing suit - okay." Demetri Martin
"Weekends don't count unless you spend them doing something completely pointless." Calvin
"I.D. badges are long overdue. Security in this office park is a joke. Last year, I came to work with my spud gun in a duffel bag. I sat at my desk all day, with a rifle that shoots potatoes at 60 pounds per square inch. Can you imagine if I was deranged?" Dwight Schrute
"I'm learning real skills that I can apply throughout the rest of my life ... Procrastinating and rationalizing." Calvin
"Would I rather be feared or loved? Um... Easy, both. I want people to be afraid of how much they love me." MIchael Scott
"If I ever saw an amputee getting hanged I'd just yell out letters." Demetri Martin
The purse girl hits everything on my checklist: creamy skin, straight teeth, curly hair, amazing breasts. Not for me... for my children. The Schrutes produce very thirsty babies." Dwight Schrute
"I like parties, but I don't like piñatas because the pinata promotes violence against flamboyant animals. Hey, there's a donkey with some pizzazz. Let's kick its ass. What I'm trying to say is, don't make the same Halloween costume mistake that I did." Demetri Martin
