Would it matter to your faith (or Biblically) if Jesus had a son? A news article about Kirk Cameron (the left behind movie star) says they have found the cave were they think Jesus was buried...Included in the cave were the remains of several others including Judas the son of Jesus...Link Here

What does that mean to you and me, that someone isn't very good at archeology or should we examine what that would mean to each of us? I don't know, haven't spent much time on it, but someone says that this son could be the 'Lad' that was laying on Jesus at the last supper. Many people seem to think that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene, they think the 'Lad' is there kid...How would that effect our faith if Jesus was married, does the Bible say he wasn't? It may also explain why Mary Magdalene was at the cross in John 19:25...

I am not jumping to conclusions but rather asking questions...What types of questions does this create for you?

So here I am sitting in my chair watching the apprentice (which is a fan favorite at our house) and I started thinking..."Do you think God may ever ask you to do something that would have a negative result, just so He could teach you if you do such and such then blank will happen?" On the surface you may think that God would never do that...so lets dig deeper.

Why may God do that?
He may be trying to teach you something, maybe you will need that experience later on in your life, or maybe we don't need to know why and His ways are higher than ours...

Why wouldn't God do that?
Because as humans we don't think it makes sense, it's not logical, and because as humans we don't think it makes sense. Which is the only reason that I could come up with, so what are your thoughts.

Let's really spark the controversy, ok? I think He would / may...tell me why I am wrong.

Web site developement is going very well, I was able to accomplish a lot today. In case some of you might have missed it I am building a web page for Christians to network with each other with in a business context. So, let's say Christian A is looking for a used car. Christian A can access my web site and search for all of the used car sales professionals within a certain zip code or they could search by city, state, church currently attending, or by all other alumni from their school. In this search Christian B pops up and they can email each other, set up a time to do the transaction, and know they are dealing with someone they can trust. At the end of the transaction the buyer has the opertunity (obligation?) to leave feed back on Christian B so others know that they can trust that person. Who knows they may even attend the same church as that person! Hopefully the Body of Christ will find this very useful. The site is called:

myChristianConnection.org


and if you click on the link it should take you there. It is live, meaning if you go there it's up and running and you can take a look around. You won't be able to access a lot of the content because in order to do that you would have to be registered and right now i don't believe you can. If you do...well how bout this, lets all hold off until i give the go ahead because I still need to do some testing and finishing touches on it. I will however like it if everyone signs up once it is available. It is only going to be successful if people use it. Anyway, go ahead and bookmark it now so that once it's up and running you will be also! Good night!

Very exciting news, we just got a new computer!!! We had been looking at getting a new computer since about October of last year. Then it came to fruition on Friday night. Friday i went to look at Best Buy (I had been searching online for weeks) found a computer i liked, it went on sale on Sunday, and we bought it on Monday! It is a very exciting time! I am writing on it now, and it will be my primary computer for finishing my website...

Anyway, its big news in our family so i thought I would share, have a good day!

This post is dedicated to Parrott Family members everywhere, but especially to Anthony and anyone who has married into our family. There truly is no one else like us



Dana Schmana: are you going to buy a laptop

Dana Schmana: or do you mean a spiral notebook

Dana Schmana: lol

Parrott84: a spiral notebook...its very important to but the right one, it effects so many aspects of your life that you can't make it a rush decision

Dana Schmana: I know, its like, "wide-rule" or.... "COLLEGE-rule?!?!!?"

Dana Schmana: and then there's the color. The brand. Recycled or not recycled.

Dana Schmana: it's enough to give me a headache, that's for sure.

Parrott84: blue outside or wacky design, separators or single notebook

Parrott84: it’s a lot of options to consider

Parrott84: I was thinking about getting a college team on the outside but then I was thinking maybe just plan and simple so I can create my own masterpiece

Dana Schmana: maybe you should get some professional input

Parrott84: anyway, autumn and I are praying about it...

Dana Schmana: it's a major financial commitment

Parrott84: there is a good chance this whole discussion is going into my blog...!

Dana Schmana: that way other people can be reminded of the things they need to consider

Parrott84: true

Dana Schmana: I’m all about preventing rash decisions that you might regret later, when you're trying to write in your notebook but somethings not quite right.

Parrott84: and Anthony can point to my blog as an example of what others can/may aspire to

Dana Schmana: exactly. Maybe instead of posting in your blog you should write it down in your shiny new notebook.

Parrott84: then I may be wasting paper and who knows, if I run out I will need to make another notebook decision sooner than I may have anticipated. That would then force Autumn and I to re-evaluate our budget in order to allow for another notebook. I mean maybe I should be looking into notebook insurance in case it gets damaged, wasted paper, or rained on, at what expense can I chance this type of purchase, at some point it's going to be too much.

Dana Schmana: maybe you should stick with loose-leaf.

Dana Schmana: I can see it's really stressing you out.

Parrott84: do I buy a binder for it?

Parrott84: 2 rings or 3 rings?

Dana Schmana: skip the binder

Dana Schmana: are you going to keep your desktop?

Parrott84: If I go with the binder I can get one with plastic on the outside and then put photos on the front or I could print up something with my name and address on it...

I hope everyone enjoyed this, I know Dana and I did...

Things have been status quo lately, obviously lots is always going on, right now it's just not that interesting. We did get a new manager at my new store...and my new store did VERY well last month. It's a good thing (about the new manager) because he is very focused and accomplished, i think he will be very good for our store. Apparently it's gonna be cold this weekend, my sister seams quite fond of reminding me of this (oh the torture of living in the Midwest and the pleasures of lake effect!!!) I think it's worse knowing my mom is on a cruise in the Bahamas during the worst of it..she had VERY GOOD timing!

I am looking for a laptop, that would be exciting news, however as of right now i am only looking and that's not so exciting...I am actually looking for lots of stuff, but until i find it you will be left guessing at what those things are (hint: i am not looking for my socks!). Anyway, it's late and i need some sleep soooo....(sweet bahamas cruise dreams)
