DUNT FARGETT UBOUT APOLOGETICS!!

First and foremost, don't forget to come to Apologetics on Wednesday. Everyone that is a Christian is welcome. We'll be discussing whether baptism is required for salvation.

Today I taught Sunday school. I did a lesson on the Messianic prophecies from the Old Testament. I put together a power point presentation for it, which kept me on task. That's good and bad. I was planning on using this one lesson for two weeks, but because I stayed so on task, I finished the whole thing. It's alright, however, because I'm planning on expounding upon Daniel chapter 9 verse 20 and following by popular request. I only had about ten minutes to cover it and it's a hefty section. So, I'll do a power point for it by itself.

In other news, college classes are coming to an end next week and I'm finished with all the work for one of the online courses. I had to write a survival guide at 1,200 words. I simply sat down and did it all yesterday. So, all I have to do now are my German classes and my communication class. That's good, because next week will require me to spend a considerable amount of time planning my Sunday school lesson. No problem, because I love doing it. It won't be terribly easy though. I have German class on Tuesday, apologetics on Wednesday (YES!!), German class on Thursday, and Friday must be spent with my family. So, Monday and Saturday will be busy.

Well, I need to go help my little wife put together a Cobb salad for lunch tomorrow and the next day. Take care all. Thanks and good night.

Libertarian=Revolutionary

German class, Communication class, and Information Technology class are coming to an end next week. It's so sad, but I'm looking forward to it. It's been a lot of work losing two nights a week. I'll immediately be starting up two new classes with Axia (University of Phoenix), but I'll have more time for those classes without two nights a week taken up by them. So, I'm excited to finish German. I'm also excited about my two Axia colleges being completed because I'll have six units done in only nine weeks. That's really awesome. The time went by really quick.

So, I confronted my co-worker on his disappointed hinting concerning my vacation. He apologized for how he came off and insisted that he didn't mean for me to take it that way. I believe him, because it's difficult to tell if he's joking a lot of the time.

In other news, Maggie and I went out to dinner with Mike last night. It was a lot of fun and he and I ended up talking about his ideal form of government. He claims to be a libertarian. In my view, libertarians are idealists whose concepts cannot be looked upon seriously as far as our country's government goes. I say this because the ideas they promote are revolutionary--not revolutionary in a good way. I mean that it would actually take a revolution for the libertarians to do what they'd like to do. It's fun to speculate, but ultimately impractical in the reality we're faced with. We have to look to changing the system we have through its own channels and avenues lest we become anti-Americans advocating the downfall of our government and the drafting of a new constitution. Our work is slow, but bloodless.

Anyway, that's all for now. Thank you and good night.
