2-minute drill...

- Kat and Dave, Heidi's sister and bro-in-law, are in town for the weekend. It's great to have them here. Izak LOVES his Aunt Kat! BUBBLES!!!

- What internal mechanism allows a man to take school kids hostage? I don't get it? Could President Bush be correct when he calls something "evil?"

- Read an interesting article about the impact of Bush's tax cuts. Turns out that the top 20% of income-earners are actually footing more of the bill these days. Before Bush tax cuts, they paid 78% of the taxes. After, they carry over 81% of the burden. This was in an article in the Detroit Free Press last month. I'm sure it will stay burried. Another thing...more taxes are refundable, which means that the working poor will actually get money back -- it's a good policy because it rewards only those who work.

- Buffalo blizzards are looking pretty good...don't think I'm ready to move to Florida. It's sad to see homes destroyed. May God's people there shine in these difficult days.

- We're going golfing today. This will be the first time in about 2 years that Heidi's been on a golf course. FORE!!!! And that's just for my shot!

Those of you who labor, enjoy the day. As you return to your work tomorrow, do so with the knowledge that the hands you use are a gift from God. May you honor Him in your work.

Peace,
