Update

So here is the latest update on our home.
The living room is coming to completion!!! Marci is yearning to finish at least 1 room, and we are almost there. Last week, we made the plunge and installed a flat screen TV. Wow, what a difference. I have decided that there are a few things in life that are worth it. A huge tv is one of them. Installing it on the wall however, is not the easiest task. This took a few tries with Marci helping me to fish wires and cables thru the wall. The end result is worth it. Other additions include a new console under the TV, and a kitchen table.

Our lawn is not doing to well, it is covered with an orange sort of fungi called "Lawn Rust" The good news is that our entire neighborhood also has it. I have discovered through some diligent searching on the web that it is common for new lawns to be susceptible to this after a long dry season. Oh well.

Last night I read an article in National Geographic about the effects of global warming, and then I went to sleep worried and depressed. It got me thinking, is there ever any good news anymore? All you hear in the media is sad, depressing, bad news. Global warming this, Iraq war that, Hillary vs Obama, climate change, oil prices up over $80, mortgage market in turmoil, democrats hate the president, republicans don't care, Iran building nuclear bombs, radical islamist want to kill us, terrorism, blah blah blah.

On and on.

So I typed in "good news" in google this morning, and I found this website: http://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/ All they report is, good, positive news, about things happening around the world. They have an article explaining how 3 million mosquito nets are being distributed around Zambia, to help save countless lives from the threat of Malaria. This is great news!!!!

I am convinced that there is more good left in humanity than bad. All I need to do to see this is look out of our front door every morning and see the gathering of moms and dads waiting with their kids for the bus. They chat, shake hands, protect their children and bring a sense of community. This is good news. I wake up in the morning, and I am healthy and live in a lovely home with a wonderful wife, this is good news.

I have a savior who has freed me from the clutches of misery, death and sin.

This is good news.
