Random thoughts about random things

So as I sit here at work on what should be a nice Monday i find myself being a bit on the pensive side. its times just like this when I feel that I should blog. let the creative juices flow if you will. For Example work. Here in the mortgage Industry some days can be very stressful. what do we use to combat the stress?? a Healthy dose of Mountain Dew, Honey BBQ Fritos flavor twists, and a healthy amount of wishing that we were Golfing or Skiing (dependent on the season). This weeks diversion may in fact be bracket watching. It is NCAA tourney time. once again BYU got hosed with their seed. and once again they play Texas A&M. The good news I guess is that A&M is not as good as last year, but then again neither are we.
Moving back to mortgages has been a blessing I think. I am able to make more money and I have a good time doing it. I think it will allow me to still reach my goal of being debt free (besides the house) by the time I turn 32. With The volume that I am seeing I am able to get quite a few loans each month, which in turn helps me to get nice things AND pay off debt. I would really like it if I can do well enough to let Heather be a true stay at home mom.
Ski season this year was a lot of fun. We took Parker and Makayla skiing for the first time and they had a lot of fun. I have such fond memories of skiing with my family, that I want this to be a bonding time for me and my kids.
Speaking of Bonding... Parker recently started playing America's past time. BASEBALL!!! His team is the Rockies and this league that he is paying is seriously hard core. 3 2 hr practices each week. but he is having fun so Heather and I are happy about it.

Ok I have run out of random thoughts...

Big Love

Many of you I'm sure have heard about the upcoming episode of "Big Love" on HBO where sacred temple ordinances are to be displayed. I am outraged. I used this link to write a letter to HBO. Here is the text. I encourage all members of the church, and any church who believe that the things of God are sacred and not to be displayed to the world to also write.

Gentlemen,
The Airing of a sacred religious ordinance in a fictional show is disrespectful to MILLIONS of Americans. I understand the first amendment gives you the ability to do this, however you also have the right to remain silent. Many of us think you are simply unwilling to do something honorable. from your own admission, you had someone on set to vet the process and to determine its validity. Did it enter into your thinking that such a person had committed and promised to hold such things as sacred and to not divulge them. Thus by showing them to you they had demonstrated themselves a liar. I have not seen your episode. I do not plan to. taking what is sacred and portraying it with out the correct spirit (a Spirit which can only truly be felt in the holiest of places) is blasphemy. I do not consider myself a religious zealot, however I must speak up when the rights of those who are innocent are about to be trampled by those with the end game of earning a buck. I implore you to pull the episode. undergo a rewrite and move on with your series. Anything less is despicable.
