Global Warming - A Fools Guide to Deception

The world will never learn. In case all of you have forgotten, because others have, let me remind you that the world was flat for a long time. I also grew up being taught that Pluto is the smallest planet. Just recently has it been demoted to a star but astronomers have made up for it by discovering a new planet light years away with possible life form (somebody is bored out of their mind). Well, my ancestors were apes, weren't they? History continues to repeat itself.
According to the same group of people (yes, they're still around) who for centuries believed the world was flat, we came from apes, and Pluto was a planet, we are now to believe that mother nature has lost complete control and the world is slowly cooking itself. Actually, not slowly but rapidly. In the "millions" of years the earth has been around, just in the last couple of decades has the earths temprature decided to rise when for "millions" of years have volanoes spewed more crap into our atmosphere than man could ever dream to match. I'm sorry, we, humans more powerful than mother nature, are cooking the world. Humans have gained control over mother nature and are destroying this planet that cows have passed gas in for thousands of years (cow gas = methane- is considered to be a contributor to global warming, just as harmful as car exhaust).

I have always been fascinated with the human mind. It's amazing to see the things that humans can accomplish through skill and talent. It's even more interesting to see what we can do knowing that humans use only 5-10% of their brain capability. B
ut its even more embarrasing what the human mind can conceive. Never have I been this embarrassed that one could fathom things like global warming and place in human care an actual earth whithout any consideration of its Creator whose earth it is. The philosophies of men (with only 5-10% of their brain power) have discovered a problem that God Himself has lost control over. It's amazing that in a universe full of order and in a sense, perfection, the little earth we live in, of all other planets, had to be the one going down the crap shoot. Man, aren't we in the wrong place at the wrong time! But, thanks to people like Al Gore who tirelessly worked on a movie to show us Mother Nature going through its natural courses does it become clearly evident that God has lost control. Thanks Al. You sure are a smarter than God. Isn't it ironic that the symbol of the democratic party is an ass? Al represents them well. Whoever picked that must have seen something coming. Well, needless to say, all of this hub-bub will not matter (not that it does now). My counsel, amidst this highway to deception, is to keep your eyes glued to the person who's opinions and words matter most - Gordon B. Hinckley. As much as the adversary is trying to distract the world into mindless deceptions, don't take your eyes off of good'ol GBH and the coming of our Savior!

Jeep Safari '07



I'm beginning to wonder if I'll ever make a habit out of this. I can't believe that my last post was over a month ago. I apologize to all my fans. Thank you for waiting so patiently. So, Lindsey and I, and the Fowles had a GREAT time in Moab for the Jeep Safari. I couldn't have had a better time. Except, all of us agreed that this year attracted more white trash than normal. The condo was a lot of fun (thanks Blake). We're all excited to go down again. In case some of you didn't know, I'm a huge Jeep fan. I tell my wife sometimes that I would like to take my last breath behind the wheel of my Jeep with her in the bucket seat. We attend the Jeep Safari every year and make it down to Moab at other times throughout the year which is a Jeepers heaven. There is a lot of trails to do here along the Wasatch Front. I hope to do at least 3 new trails this summer. So far, for the Moab trails, I've done Hells Revenge (my favorite), Porcupine Rim (Lindsey's least favorite), Fins-n-Things, Poison Spider, Porcupine 4x4, X-Road, and baby Lionsback. I have been at times a bit hesitant to do some of the other trails since Lindsey and I have to drive our Jeep back home, but next year, I hope to have a truck to haul it down so I can do the more daring. Well, I celebrated my 26th birthday this last Thursday. Speaking of birthdays, Lindsey and I are going to be celebrating a new little birthday some time around the beginning of December. Yes, Lindsey is pregnant. We are both very excited and can't wait. She has already begun to buy things in preparation. We haven't thought of any names yet that we both can agree on, so if you have any cool names (they have to be cool), then let us know.
