Hello Folks,

As I have said before, most times I like to keep this blog as a non political source of entertainment. However, this is too important an issue to let slide. The following is an exerpt from http://www.afa.net/wmpassalong.asp


Wal-Mart, the largest retailer in the world, has asked for and received permission to join the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce. The NGLCC is a leading promoter of homosexual marriage.

... the company wanted to be more closely identified with promoting the homosexual agenda. ... A Wal-Mart vice president will serve as an advisor to the NGLCC, helping them promote homosexual marriage.

Wal-Mart agreed to give $25,000 to the NGLCC ... Also, Wal-Mart will give homosexual-owned businesses special treatment when making purchases. Companies not owned by homosexuals will be moved down the list. [emphasise added]


TAKE ACTION

1. To make sure your voice is heard, please call Wal-Mart's home office headquarters and ask for Chairman Rob Walton at 479-273-4000. Also, call your local Wal-Mart manager and express your concerns. Please, be polite when you call!
2. Send an email to Wal-Mart Chairman Rob Walton by visiting www.afa.net.
3. [I would add] Boycott the company!

Well Folks,

I hope you enjoy this action packed week! Gutter repair, tile installation, Mt. Washington, and a rousing Air Soft Battle! HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATE!!!!

Also PLEASE continue to lift up the Hutchins families in prayer. Analiese still needs surgery from the accident but the doctors can't operate 'till certain other progress is made.

Much love in Christ Jesus,
Michael











I begin this week with my analysis of a necessary gutter















Getting the gutter ready











Since I don't have any fancy ladder stuff to cope with the tilt of the roof, I made my own. Please ... I don't need a million comments saying I'll break my neck!



My latest project














Marscel clears the concrete (thank you Bro!)











Announcing Ma & Myself's succesful attempt at hiking Mt. Washington (tallest peak in New Hampshire). What a LOOOOooooong hike. It was tiring, yet ... exhilerating!


A grim warning

Ma ... um ... we haven't even STARTED yet!

Thank you Ma for a great shot
