Alias

This certainly looks convincing, doesn't it. Somehow, most of us Alias fans can't really believe that Vaughn is dead though. We will have to wait and see.



Now in the last episode that was aired, (epi 9 of season 5) we left Sydney on a tanker headed who knows where in the middle of the ocean, just after she had escaped from being tested, tortured and questioned. Does anyone really care what happens to her? Have you all forgotten about her since you last saw her in December? Well we won't have to wait but another month and a half, as I have intel to the effect that the next epi will be April 19, (although this is not official.) We expect to see 8 episodes with the next one being a full two hours, and the finale is also two hours. You know its about time we see Syd get off the ship! Y'all get ready to set your Tivos and video recorders.

I know this photo by Alfred Eisenstadt wasn't taken on Valentine's Day, but it is a famous pic showing the emotion felt by all when the war ended in 1945. It can also express the love we feel to the ones we love, although I understand that this guy just met this girl. I will keep this short, but I want to wish everyone out there a very Happy Valentine's Day, and may we truly show love as we have the opportunity.

Well, here are actual pics of our 2nd little snow this week here in Kernersville. I have heard that the DC area is getting quite a bit more and I am looking forward to seeing some personal pics (via email or blog) from the streets of the Capitol Hill area. Ours was a nice little snow that cancelled Sunday School, but allowed us to make it to church.

Snow!!

Yes, we finally had some snow here in NC, but don't get excited--this is not a pic of it. This pic was taken in Ohio. Our snow in Kernersville covered the ground but didn't stick to the streets. That is a good snow, especially when you have to go to work every day. Hey, I bet it hasn't snowed in southern Alabama yet, either.

Just the other night, I dreamed I could fly. You know, without an airplane or helicopter. Just take off like Superman does.

It was very realistic, and you know, somehow while I was dreaming, it all seemed very logical. I was breezing past birds, trees, and telephone poles. I could turn on a dime, and head back in the opposite direction. I could move my body all sorts of ways to make some wild maneuvers. And then for some reason, I awoke and it was 4 AM. I got up to take care of some personal needs and then returned to sleep without any trouble. When it was time to rise and get ready for work, I thought, "Someday I will fly!" Not just in my dreams or daydreams, but my body will actually be moving through space and time. It will be when I am caught up in the rapture with Christ, or it will be after I have been buried (or even cremated) for some time, and when Christ returns my body will actually be raised up and made new. (The older I get, the idea of having a new body is more and more favorable.) I don't know why I dreamed about flying. Maybe it was seeing images of Christa McAuliffe trying out weightlessness exercises. I remember having these dreams from time to time, but never really gave that much thought about the time that I will fly to meet Jesus. The book I am reading, Heaven by Randy Alcorn, may have something to do with these dreams. In any case, it is good to think about Heaven some of the time, and not to figure that there will be plenty of time to think about it when we get there. It is good to be Heavenly minded enough that we think about leading our friends in that direction by introducing them to the person of Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for our sins and was raised to sit beside the Father and to pray for us. Thank you Jesus.

Well, this is what our birdfeeder looks like after filling it to the top shortly after Christmas. As you can easily see, the birds have been eating cautiously since that time. I suppose when snow covers the ground we may see it run down a bit faster. I suppose we should be glad tha we aren't having to buy another bag of seed already. Maybe they would like it better if I had put in a tree rather than on a post out in the open, but we wanted to be able to see them more easily. Are there any bird-watchers out there who could give us a hint as to help the birds find our feeder?
