The video resume looks excellent. When you tell the truth it really shows through. More on the trial tommorro-9:30 am at circuit court(Lane County Courthouse). The video resume looks excellent.

The kid who got Tasered is facing charges. He is someone I used to work in the same office with and does not seem like a aggressive character. The Taser use seems to have been excessive. I expect the charges against him are to shut him up and undermine any future lawsuit he may pursue. Just thought I would put it on the radar in case you are in the area. I am not sure about that date because as usual the mainstream media is busy goofing off. Have a good day.

The day when the crowds greeted Jesus with "Hosannah!" and the day the crowds cried out "Crucify him!" all happened during the same week. (Okay, I admit it, a part of me hopes these were two different crowds and not actually the same people.) Another interesting thing is that a recent study on the art in churches over the ages (which reflects how the people saw Jesus) shows that before the 10th-11th centuries, IF Jesus was shown with the cross, it was ALWAYS as a risen Christ and NEVER on the cross. How did the early church picture Him? A risen Lord, the Good Shepherd, welcoming the children to come. What does this say to me? It's a reminder that while the suffering was a part of what Jesus was called to do, the thing He did that was the miracle was to rise from the dead and never rot in a grave! He is risen! He is risen indeed! The irony – Palm Sunday and Good Friday in the same Easter week.

I believe the best sermons are not given in a church building but delivered in real life simply by sharing your life. But to do so means you must be willing to let people go with you and that means vulnerability. That was the most difficult part of the political campaign. I had to be careful of what I said and I don't do real well with that. But freedom is costly. It means you have to give up comfort, stability and knowing your next step. I'm not good at it but God is getting me there......slowly. You’re on to me. I believe the best sermons are not given in a church building but delivered in real life simply by sharing your life.
