Free Will?

I was sent this link from a friend. I thought it was a joke, but people actually believe this. To take God's ability to save us away from Him and place it on our shoulders not only flies in the face of scripture, but is completely centered on our ability to manipulate God. I don't think so Pensacola. Plus, the singing is atrocious. Enjoy...

January in Indiana

It has been more than a while since I have commented on the Chamber Singers blog yet alone did a post. Laura and I are out in the good ole' state of Indiana for a well needed vacation. It feels good to be able to see the whole sky again. We have been out here for just a bit over a week and plan on staying two more weeks. Currently we are staying with Joe and Ashley Wittmer (both former Chamber Singers). They are both at work now and Laura and I are here with there two wonderful dogs Benson and Zoe.
Laura is a bit over seven months along now and is feeling as good as can be expected. Yesterday we all took a day trip to Chicago visiting the Shedd Aquarium, some various stores and ate at the Italian Village. Laura after all the walking felt surprisingly good. The little thing is moving more and more every day. I am getting pumped for the big day but am a bit nervous as to how I am going to handle the delivery itself. I admit that I am a bit squeamish when it comes to hospitals in general. I think that the adrenaline with take over and I will be fine though.
Laura and I were talking last night about how we need to be careful about not making the getting ready for the baby the important part (nursery, clothes ect) but about the fact that we are going to be parents and are bringing another life into the world. For those who are married, think back to how much you worried about the wedding ceremony itself. Now to think of how much you worried about it seems so futile, because there are much more important things than the ceremony. Marriage itself is more important. I guess that is kind of like making the number one priority getting the nursery ready and the house "baby proofed". These things are important, but they are temporal in contrast to preparing to being a parent and on top of that not forgetting that you are still married.
Well I hope to hear some comments from you all and shoot we need to get going on some more posting too.
