man I hate being sick

So my children have been sick for the lat three weeks and my immune system has finally given in. I am now sick. I hate it. I have been thinking in order to make really nice furniture I need two more tools. I need a lathe to make legs for chairs and tables and I need a planner/ jointer. I also would like to buy a gun. but I guess that can wait till I have deployed and come back by then I should have lots of extra cash. But might not as we are trying to save up a lot of cash in order to try and go bum around the world.
I wonder how much it would cost to live in china for a few months.

economic stimulus

So I do not really believe that the economic stimulus package will actually help America move forward. Maybe it is because I am skeptical that anything the government does with my money will do anything more then what I can do with my money. Also that is a whole lot of cash for the next 10 years. So if he does not get re-elected it will last for another 6 years and if he does then it will still last for another 2 years after he is gone. That is the kind of debt that my grandchildren will be paying off in the form of higher interest rates among other problems. One of the things that just baffles me is that they want to insure mortgages and help people get into homes. Now this is good but having the government back so many bad loans and having the companies give out loans to those who could not really afford them isn't that what got us into this in the first place? Do we really need more people out there to own their homes? What ever happened to saving up for them and then buying or what about renting for a few years so that we can save up for a down payment. There is nothing wrong with not owning a home. I do like the infrastructure repairs and the investment in clean energy the great depression brought about the highway system that we see now. And the renewable hydroelectric dams. So those are great. But I do not know.

It also seems interesting that most Americans I talk to have no faith in it and do not even really want it to pass.
I guess that only time will tell if it really will help

one day

So today is the first day this week that I have not worked a 12-13 hour day and that kinda sucks. i am very tired. One day I will be a civilian and get paid overtime for this crap.
I have a lot to do before britta comes back hope I get it all done in time.
I have started to study written chinese more. I now study it at least 30 min a day every day. I would really like to take the test so that I can prove to big brother that I can read and listen to chinese. If I do that I get more money every month.
I have a boring life that is why I do not post. However I am very busy in my boring life.
peace

wow been a long time

It sure has been a long time since I wrote. I wonder what I should write about that is so important for me to tell everyone that reads this.
hmmmm not much not much has happened to me. I have a new job for the army. I am doing something that I know nothing about I am a staff puke for the us army 4th BCT. An infantry BCT i know jack about the infantry it is interesting and it kinda sucks.
Britta says we should go and live in China for a year off of our savings I think it sounds like a good idea but do notknow how it would work. gotta find a place to rent for a year. Also gotta find out how to go about getting a drivers licence and all that stuff. I wonder how much it would cost to live there. I wonder what the visa requirements are for china I have never had a tourist visa that lasted for more then a couple months. I heard that you had to have a job in order to get a visa in order to cut down on the number of bums in china.
Gotta do more research.

I went back to the nerve agent traning center

So yesterday I went through the nerve agent chamber. They have VX and G nerve agents in large quantities in every room inside the live agent part of the facility. It was interesting to go back for a second time. This time I did not fail at all. I got a blessing and was told that no matter what I would be able to complete the training. Every time I started to get anxious or overheated, or anything I would just pray or think God said I could do this and that there would be an angel or something there to help me out and there was. It was real cool cause every time I prayed or anything the anxiety or heat would just dissapate it would flow away from me like so much water. It was a very enriching experience.
This person was so evil that just by her presence can bring a very bad spirit into the room no matter the size of the room. Also no matter the distance from the person you could feel the evil from this person who was in charge of my life for the past 16 weeks. She purposfully lied to me and her superiors to get me to go back through this training. The reason this is so bad is that she purposfully put me into a very dangerous situation. She did it hoping that I would fail. One of the most interesting things is that she did not make her friend the class suck up go through the process again. This whole thing is very unpleasant by the way. The whole being in the protective gear and doing all that crap is very very unpleasant.
However in spite of all this I have learned several very important things. Firstly that before I had a great amount of faith in Gods ability to be with me and actually take away my dicomofort and make my body do things that I did not think it could do now I know it. I have seen it and felt it in my own life. Second thing I have learned is how to deal with someone who hates you and is out to get you in any way possible merely because that person can and that person sees in me someone who is smarter and nicer and not intimidated by them. The third reason is that I am learning that it really is hard to frogive and move on when someone just wants to cause as much harm professionally and personally to you as possible. I am still learning how to forgive but I think I will be able to do it.
Also When I was leaving to go to the Chamber yeasterday I invited a guy from croatia to church and he accepted So I really hope that he shows up.
All in all it was not a bad experience there were plenty of bad times and unpleasant experiences. However God can make some very bad things in the end turn out to be good things. It might takes some time but 16 weeks is not that much in the eternities. But man when you are going through it it sure seems like it is taking forever.
peace

Back to the Gas Chamber

Hello all, Chris is going back to the Sarin Chamber today and it is a super scary thing so please keep him in your prayers. He is there right now and this is his second time through, which isn't fair to him. Your prayers will help him be strong!

one step at a time

That is how you have to take life. If you try and take a few jumps at a time you fall over and skin your knee or your face or something gets hurt, falling down does not feel good. This does not mean you can not plan for the future just like the hiker who hikes 100 miles he takes it one step at a time but he plans for the trip. During the creation the Father and the Son both planned the entire thing first then they executed it one step at a time. I think that is the purpose one step a time this life will unfold and come to pass. The future is there but it is the future. The present is where we live. One day at a time we live here and now. It also seems that as I get older time goes faster. Sometimes I wish time would slow down that the present would be more present and go slower.
