Boycott All Things Oprah!!

This little video speaks for itself. I encourage you all to boycott anything that has to do with Oprah or her production company including the Rachael Ray Show, Dr. Phil, Oprah's Big Give, and her magazine etc. All of these just contribute to her growing empire of wealth and power. She is using it to brainwash as many people as she can into believing that we are all god, Jesus is irrelevant, and that all religious and spiritual paths lead to God. Show as many people as you can this video. She is decieving the masses.

Happy Birthday Dad!

Well I thought I would take a break from all of the serious political and moral discussions to pay a quick tribute to my dad. He was born 69 years ago today. Gosh, where to start? Most of you who read this probably never got a chance to meet him so to give you some kind of a picture of who he was, take Bobby Knight, the dad from the Wonder Years, and mix in a little Arnold Palmer and that might help give you an idea of what kind of guy he was. There are also pieces of him in me and my brothers. Darren has his leadership and take charge attitude. Kyle has his smarts and athletic prowess. I have his love of laughter and family. He was a great guy and I miss him a lot. It is kind of poetic that today is Masters Sunday because one of the great passions of his life was golf. I think about him every time I play and I am eternally grateful that he passed that passion on to Kyle and me. On the afternoon that he died he looked at a mug that he had and it had a picture of one of the holes at Pebble Beach and he said, "I'm gonna buy a motor home and play that golf course someday." I hope to be able to play there when I turn 30 to fulfill something he always wanted to do, to play Pebble Beach. I know he will be looking down on me reminding me to keep my head down and elbow in. He will probably also have a belly laugh or two every time I hit a Titliest's in the Pacific Ocean, which I'm sure will be many. One last funny story I remembered a little while ago. My dad and I were at a father son banquet at church. We were seated at the same table as a young Eddie Pohlreich and his very young son Justin. Justin was kind of acting up and Pastor Ed leaned over to my Dad and asked him for any fatherly wisdom. My Dad rolled up his sleeve and extended his arm out on to the table said with a stern but calm voice, "A firm hand", followed by a smile. To those of you who knew him can totally hear him saying that. We love you Dad and miss you very much. Happy 69th birthday!
