Its been a while.

Its been a while since I posted something on my blog so I figured that I'd update it a little bit.
Tate loves his little brother and is getting to big to live without a yard. (A park would be more suitable for this one.) so we're starting to look into the options of getting a home for these two to live in. We're poor so we can't afford much, but if we choose to live a little out of the way we'll be able to find something nice we hope.
Deborah's excited about the idea because she'll finally feel like she's settled somewhere.
Bennet is excited because Tate will have a yard to play in, and maybe he'll leave Bennet alone once in a while. And Tate and I are excited This is Tate, wearing his APX hat. because mommy promised us we could get
the fish tank set back up. But more importantly she promised that we could get a dog to play with. Yep thats right a dog. And not a fake one either. A real puppy dog. He's probably going to be named doggie since thats all Tate will say for about a week.
We'll have to get a dog with a good digestion system, because Tate seems to think all animals eat grass and rocks.
He'll probably need to be short haired otherwise Tate would make him that way.
Other than that. I could speak about a million other things, like the elections or football starting on saturday (Go Chiefs) and (Go bears).
But all that will be for another post. at a latter date when I have the time. in the meanwhile.
FIGHT WORLD HUNGER-- -- EAT MORE.




This is Bennet sleeping.

Some people Say

I have been told by some of my faithful readers that my posts are sometimes a little bit offensive. And to them I say then stay outta my blog. Let me remind you this is my blog not yours! do not presume that you can come into my domain and decide what I should or shouldn't be talking about. if you would like to rebuttle do so in an intelligent way. but don't just try and get me to stop by claiming that its offensive. Truthfully thats the exact reason I write it. I know its offensive and its about time somebody said it. evil people need to be told to go away!!!
I am sick of the liberal socialist world trying to tell me that I can't share my religion and I can't tell someone that what they are doing is evil because it might hurt their feelings. While at the same time my family is constantly bombarded with evil television shows, songs on the radio, billboard signs along the road, emails and anything else satan can influence. all of which offends me and my family. And if I say I don't want that! I'm told that I'm just being mean or I'm old fashioned.
Well I am sick of it. There is a war between good and evil going on and I intend to be on the right side of that war. I will not just be quite and watch. and I'm sick of people saying "well, what they do in their private time is just fine because it doesn't effect me." That is not true. Evil doesn't stop. Eventually those people will not be satisfied with commiting sins in their own little private space and in order to get their next fix they will need to invade yours or someone elses.
maybe thats why I have chosen to be an alarm technician because in some way I am helping people avoid preditors.
anyway to finish this post I'd just like to say, if you read this and said Yeah go nic, (you're probably doing fine in life). But if you read this and were offended its about time you repent!!!

While I'm on the subject of politics.

(I just found out I should have writen this post prior to the one after it, even though this one comes after. so you should read the post below first then this one.)
There is nothing in the world that confuses me more than a mormon who votes for democrats in todays politics and here is why. ( now I'm not trying to offend anyone there are some really grood democtats out there such as joe liberman)
The Democratic Party has become intertwined with some really Evil practices. (the republicans have there own problems, but they are no where near what has infiltraded the Democtatic party)
now let me preface this by asking the question how many of you would eat a taco if it only had one cockroach in it? probably not too many, well the Democrats as they now stand have way more than one cockroach in their taco. But there are only two cockroaches which I want to talk about and those are Abortion and Gays. and whats funny is this is the exact same issue. I'll explain how.
Most of you know about what is called the plan of salvation if not here is a brief over view, step one come to earth, step two die. step three go to heaven or hades. (that leaves out a little bit, but all you need to understand is step 1.)
Gods very first step in yours and mine and everyone elses salvation is for us to come to earth. and because he has a lot of kids he created a very powerful drive in mankind to procreate.
Now if Gods first step is to get us down here, Satans first step is to keep us up there!!!!!! Satan cannot take away the urge to procreate but he can do a few other things to prevent Gods children (some of the greatest I might add) from coming to earth. thus enters Abortions and Gays.
Gods first commandment in the Garden of Eden was to multiply and replenish the earth anyone who supports or affiliates with individuals who push the gay and abortion agenda (and I would say voting for them qualifies) needs to understand that no matter what else that candidate stand for it cannot make up for the gross Evil of these two practices. if the taco says its going to feed the poor and educate the children and take care of the elderly -ie: lettuce, tamato's and cheese - it sounds good, but when you find out that the meat and beans (abortions and gays) is made up of cockroaches the whole taco should be thrown in the trash.
Now I need to rebuttle a certain (false) Lds arguement in favor of abortions and that arguement goes something like this. {I support a womans right to choose becase gods plan is all about free agency and even though I don't agree with abortions I still think they should have thier free agency to choose.}
This arguement is flawed in so many ways but here is the main one. There is a spirit son or daughter in heaven waiting for thier time to come to earth. By performing an abortion you are taking away that individuals free agency.
there are two parties involved not just one. and in many ways abortion is like murder once that choice has been made there is no amount of repentance or recompence which can change the outcome.
Finally I do not know what happens to that spirit son or daughter who was waiting for that body. they may just go on to the next avaliable body or perhaps that counted as thier short stint on earth. I assume it probably varies on an individual case, but if it is all they get of this life than abortion is murder plain and simple and consider this in the year 1997 (this is the only year I know the statistic) there were aproximately 300 thousand children born in the united states. in that same year there were over 800 thousand abortions performed. bringing in billions of dollars and many of those were paid for by the U.S. government.
This is not a side bar issue for the Democratic party it has become their holy grail as Ann Coulter says, and in my opinion anyone who elects to office those people who support this practice and in some way supporting it themselves.
In conclusion let me say that my stance on gays and those who have performed abortions is and always will be -"That we love them as sons and daughters of God" But I cannot sit idly by and let them imdulge in such practices without warning them of the consequences of such actions. But there is always hope of repentance, I understand that people have certain inclinations which are strong. We all have one kind or another, but that doesn't excuse actions.
The End.

Some Random thoughts

Its come to my attention that there have been a lot of things since june 26yth that have not been posted on my blog. Apparently just because deborah set up my blog it doesn't mean that every time I say "put that on my blog" it gets logged. So here are some of my random thoughts.
First off when you call my cell phone and I don't answer you have two options; 1 leave me a message and not get called back, or 2 hang up and I'll call you back.
Its a waist of my time to call my voice mail only to hear a message say hey nic its (insert your name here!) please call me back when you have time. the great thing about cell phones is that it loggs when I've missed a call I can already see you have called me I don't need a voice mail waisting my minutes just to tell me twice. so if you are going to leave me a voice mail it had better contain everything you wanted to say - because I don't return voice mails. Text messages are great they take 2 seconds to read please send those instead. I don't have a lot of pet peeves but that is certainly one of them.
And another thing I've recently talked to a few folks about taxes and for some strange reason beyond me most people seem to think its okay to tax the rich. Most think it doesn't effect them and it helps the poor and some even have the silly idea that somehow they benifit from someone else being a bit poorer. Both of those beliefs are drastically wrong. Taxing the rich people is bad for the rich people the middle class and the poor people! Almost universally it would be better for the rich person to have the money and not the government, and here's why.
First off. I don't work for the Government I do however work for rich people, so who do you think signs my paycheck. that right a rich person. If my boss or the company I work for has no money - Guess what I don't get money. thats 100% guaranteed. but if your boss has more money it doens't necessarily guarantee that you are going to get some of it, but at least there is a chance. if they get taxed you have no chance of ever getting more out of them.
secondly. Charity is vitally important for the soul, and you cannot get the same blessings by having someone else (the government in this case) take care of the needy. a nation which rely's on its government to take care of the sick and needy is a nation without morals or compassion.
third. people that do not work for what they receive will gain little to no self confidence and will become dependent on others for there needs. work is also another one of those vital things for the soul. Men need to work to be truly happy. thats why the church's welfare program includes in the program that the recipients work if they can.
Fourth. (And this is a big one) No where in the constitution will you find the right for congress to take money from one person and give it to another.
In the early years of this country congress agreed to send some money to another nation to help out a starving people and James Madison was furious with them because they did not have the constitutional right to take the tax money and help out another people.
I'm not advocating to let people starve or suffer, thats what charity is for. In the war in heaven there were two plans, and Lucifers plan was not to plunder, kill and that sort of thing, his plan was to force people to do what was right (sort of like the democrats). it wouldn't work then and it doesn't work now. without free agency involved people become hard hearted and synicle.
What happens with the government programs is the same thing that happens to crack addicts. people become dependent upon what they are getting and so they have to keep voting for the leaders who provide it and it doesn't matter what those leaders do as long as they give them what they need. they could even get away with murder (Ted kennedy) and people will still love you as long as you don't murder them.
My last issue to talk about is another long one so I will add another post for it entitled "while I'm on the subject of politics".

poetry

So. I's reading this book the other day. And by the other day I mean today. And I thought I would share some with you. The book's called Runny Babbit by Shel Shilverstein.

This poem's called "Ploppy Sig Reans his Cloom" and it's one of my favorites.
Said Ploppy sig to Runny Babbit,
"May I use your broom?"
Said Runny Babbit, "Yes, fut birst,
Please let me ree your soom.
Oh Ploppy Sig, oh pessy mig,
Oh dilthy firty swine,
Whoever thought your room would be
As mig a bess as mine?"

That's all. Oh and I was filmed today in a movie.

my fantastic fathers day

I have a new video game console. It's called a we (but it's spelled wii). So far the only thing I play on it is golf and we play baseball but Deborah keeps beating me at it. She got nine homeruns on ten pitches. She's amazing. I only hope that I can become like her one day and gain her level of perfection (or near perfection).

Tate gave me the wii for fathers' day. All Deborah gave me was a lousy lunchbox so I can stop spending money on lunch. Obviously Tate loves me much more than Deborah does. I wish she could be more like Tate. And I wish I could be more like Deborah so maybe it's really Tate I want to be like. He does get to run around the house naked and I do like that.

On Monday I'm being filmed for work so everyone can see how they are supposed to do their jobs. I am, after all, the greatest technician ever. That name didn't originate with me. Peter gave me that name but I didn't object. It is true after all.

I give up

It's become apparent to me that I live in a colorblind world (or at least I've married into a color blind family). Because of this I've decided to change the color of my blog.

Today was the final day of seminary for the year. The children graduated today and we had a big spectacle in presentation form (by the way I was one of the teachers). In some ways it's kind of sad because I doubt I'll have time to teach seminary next year and I really wanted to impart all of my genius unto the coming generation. But, alas, this was not meant to be. They will have to learn - and struggle - like the rest of this world. . . what else happened?

I spend $401.85 in gas last month. That's a lot.

Tate took two steps this past week - well, one and one falling forward. That counts as two in my book.

Welp. That's all I've got to talk about today. . . except I would say Read you Books of Mormon, say your prayers, and don't eat yellow snow.
