What Marines really think!

Purple Heart

Thank you Aaron Clark.

Coincidence, I think not!

Have you ever been just sitting there and all of a sudden you feel like doing something nice for someone you care for… that is God. He talks to you through the Holy Spirit.

Have you ever been down and out and nobody seems to be around for you to talk to… that is God. He wants you to talk to Him.

Have you ever been thinking about somebody that you haven’t seen in a long time and phone! Call from them… that is God. There is no such thing as coincidence.

Have you ever received something wonderful that you didn’t even ask for, like money in the mail, a debt that had mysteriously been cleared, or a coupon to a department store where you had just seen something you wanted, but couldn’t afford… that is God. He knows the desires of your heart.

Have you ever been in a situation and you had no clue how it is going to get better, but now you look back on it… that is God. He passes us through tribulation to see a brighter day.

All in the Family

You Won’t Believe Who’s Related to Bush!

President George W. Bush and Senator John F. Kerry are related, according to Great Britain’s Guardian Unlimited and the December issue of Family Tree Magazine. The two presidential candidates share at least eight common ancestors, making them very distant cousins, says Family Tree. Emphasis on the word distant: The two are ninth cousins, twice removed, Massachusetts genealogist Gary Boyd Roberts told the Guardian Unlimited.

According to the British newspaper, both Bush and Kerry are descendants of one Edmund Reade, a member of the minor Essex gentry who lived in the early 1600s. Although he died without ever leaving England, his daughters, Elizabeth and Margaret, sailed to New England with their mother in the 1630s. The two ladies married into powerful families named Winthrop and Lake, from which our two presidential candidates descend.

Random Thoughts

So as my wife goes out to ladies movie night at the USO and the boy is already in bed, I am sitting here at the computer with not much to do. I have read my usual web logs, and I am hit with random thoughts. None of these, of course, are enough to make an entire post about, but I would like to share them anyways.

Never let a pregnant woman watch Jersey Girl. Go Kevin Smith. And who knew George Carlin could act (somewhat). Now it is a good movie with a moral, and is kind of romantic, but keep pregnant women away; especially a pregnant woman who is about to try natural childbirth for the first time.

I hate Mac’s. They are decent machines, I guess, if you like one of the most illogical operating systems I have ever used. And the worst part is that I have to use a crapintosh for work and a non-upgradeable, old arse laptop at that.

Crash Different

I also now see why web designers go to school. I am all self taught, and I know quite a bit compared to the general public, but I am no where near the cutting edge of this genre of art. I know a little about a lot of things, but not enough about one thing to really understand what I am doing. Jack of all trades. Master of none.

I am done my ranting for now. For now.
