Christmas...sort of.

So...I don't think I ever mentioned that I got my license. Dad's paying for the insurance, and I am doing all the filing for the business, not quite a fair trade, since filing takes a long time, but it's a job I can do at home, and at any time, so it's easier then going out to a jobsite and having to work there.

My church had their Christmas play on the 15th and the 16th. I think it went okay...I believe we had 2 people saved, so all the time and effort we put into it was well worth it.

Here's a picture of my "wife" and me. That's Molly Buesking, who played Mary. I had no idea she was making that face, or I would have burst out laughing, and not had that nice, kind, and caring smile on my face. Molly's brother, Sam, is peeking out from behind us...with his eyes closed. :)

We went to Silver Dollar City on Thursday with a bunch of friends. That was a fun time. We even saw SDC's version of Charles Dicken's "A Christmas Carol." It wasn't half bad. Grace will probably get mad if I don't mention something about her...so...We invited Grace L. to come with us to SDC. She, like always, is a blast to hang out with. There, I've mentioned her. :)And if that's not enough, I've even included a picture of her. :)

I went to see National Treasure: Book of Secrets tonight with the rest of the family. It was okay, but nothing as good as the first National Treasure. It had a couple of objectionable scenes. Really, though, you could tell the whole plot from the beginning of the movie, and even though there was some good action-scenes, it was almost a boring movie. Broken up a few times, or course, by Riley's hilarious interjections. That's really the whole reason I went to see the movie, was to see him and listen/watch him do his lines. All in all, I wouldn't reccommend the movie as one to see.

Christmas time is coming!! Yeah!! A time to celebrate the birth of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Why December 25 was chosen for the day to celebrate Christ's birth, I have no idea. Especially as this day is supposedly the day of Yuletide, which is/was a pagan holiday. No matter...Whatever day was chosen is fine for me, just as long as there is a set day. I only wish that Christmas wasn't as commercialized. It seems like every corporation, big and small, is out to make Christmas a time to make more money. They don't focus on the real reason for the season. We have Santa Claus coming to visit us, instead of the baby Jesus. We get, get, get...or for the businesses...make, make, make...money. Follow the wealth, right?? Greed, wealth, power...
