Middle America's Worldview

I am enjoying the weekend off. I actually have 3 days this time, sharing it with the kids. Our company actually has Presidents day as a official company holiday.

Todays church service was a good one. It spoke of King Hezekiah request to live longer. God granted him an additional 15 years. I found it fascinating the request to prove it was to have the shadow move back 10 degrees. I did a little Google and there is some discrepancy on whether it's really true or an urban myth. Irregardless, Hezekiah did exist.

Today, I will enjoy a Clue game with the kids and wife. Kel gave me the game for Valentines Day. We have been enjoying it since. I wanted the kids to adopt a skill while playing. You have to use deduction on the game.

We rented a pretty good movie last night called Zathura. I was pleasantly surprised. The movie was much better than I thought it would be. Having seen the Jumanji movie wrapped around Robin Williams, I was expecting the same genre. Yes, it was definitely a kids movie, but a twist I had not expected at the end. I will say, there were a couple of words, the kids say in the movie I found a bit in-appropiate considering the audience. However, it probably is just the way it is, if not worse out there. Irregardeless, I give it a thumbs up. Our daughter fell asleep before it came on, but our son stayed up and focused on it throughout the movie. We will be keeping it an additional night and be watching it again.

I went ahead and put some money in the foot bath website. The freebie I was utilizing bit the big one. I was really aggravated. According to the postings, the guy running the server lost his internet access privileges. So it appears he was unplugged. Since I am actually dedicating some time in this, I bit the bullet and invested in it.

The weather was definitely crazy this weekend. On Thursday temps were up to 78, Friday it was high of 42. Saturday brought us hail, snow, rain and cold winds. We expected the same today, but at this time, only a high around the 30's with no additional snow, sleet, ice.
