Just catching up on stuff
I didn't write for a while, and I don't want to miss stuff.
The 11th of April was my wedding Aniversary, and guess what? I remembered, and my wife forgot. We were at church, in Sunday school, and they ask each week if anybody has a birthday or aniversary. I looked back at my wife, and she didn't remember, so I didn't say anything, until the ride home. She was so embarassed. Then to make matters worse, she had to ask how many years it has been. It has been 14 years. So I got to pick on her all week about it. I am glad it wasn't me. Usually it is!!
I was out the other day, cutting wood. We have a wood burning fireplace, and I love to watch the fire. Even though it is starting to get warm out, I think I will still have a fire, I enjoy it a lot. My girls like to play in the fire. I let them toss pieces of paper, and cardboard in. So I am creating two little pyros... My younger son likes to get them started, but after that, he kind of loses interest. Anyways, back to the story at hand, I was out cutting wood, and my wife was taking care of the goats, with the girls. So I am splitting wood now, which I can't wait to get good at, because I think it is a pretty macho thing... But right now, I'm not that good at it. I was beating up these logs pretty good. But I did get two and a half of the three split. then my wife said that she was going in, so I said "OK, hold on" then with one good swing, I split the half a log that I had left. I was so happy, because it looked like it was an easy thing. I think I got lucky, but I'll take it.
Right now I have an electric chain saw, with a dull chain. But it is better than nothing. I am cutting up the fallen trees and limbs around the house. I enjoy it, it is like real manly work, which is good, because my job has me sitting at a desk for 12 hours a day. So I need to manly work.

Next topic: Bible reading. I just got done reading the book of Tobit, which isn't in the protestant Bible, but it is in the Catholic Bible, and in the Apocrypha. I don't completely accept these books, but then again, I don't know what is in them, to not accept them either. I have been wanting to read them, for my own knowledge, so I did. The book of Tobit is pretty interesting. I liked it because once you start reading it, you get interested, and it was no problem to read through the whole thing. It is only 14 chapters, and some of them are pretty small. I have read a couple other books of the Apocrypha, like "Bel and the Dragon" and "Suzanna". I try to keep an open mind, but also make sure I measure them against what the word of God says. I have also started reading the Book of Jasher, and the Book of Enoch. They are both pretty interesting. I hope to read some of Josephus' writings soon. I have read through the scriptures several times, and I want to keep adding to my knowledge. Being a preacher, I take my studying serious. If you are interested in studying the Word of God, I would recommend using E-sword. It is a free Bible program that you can download. Here is the link: http://www.e-sword.net It is a great product. There are MANY add ins that you can download, and use with it.
Well, I will type to you later.
God Bless,
