Today is my wife’s 40th birthday! The Big Four-Oh!
She is a wonderful blessing to me and our kids (and pretty much everyone she meets). We are thankful to have her and to get to celebrate with her today. If you’d like, wish her a happy birthday by leaving a comment.
No offense to The Princess of the Blog Community, but here are some pictures of my princess. My daughter, Emma, was recently the flower girl in a wedding I performed. I had the honor of escorting her out after the ceremony.
Here’s a list of all the songs I heard (experienced) at the three Seger shows. Each show I went to had a slightly tweaked set list.

I had the opportunity to see Bob Seger for a third (and last) time on his current tour. This was the 50th and final show of the tour, and it was at Cobo Arena in Detroit – the same place he recorded Live Bullet! back in 1975. This show was also recorded (and filmed).
Let me just say that he saved the best for last. This show was far better than the other two I saw. You’ve probably heard the saying (regarding an athlete), “He left everything on the field” — meaning, of course, that he gave everything he had. Well, it was clear that Seger and the band left everything on the stage. It was absolutely incredible. I have been to a lot of concerts, but I cannot recall one that was better than this.
I went by myself, and had a seat on the main floor – 22 rows from the stage. The crowd was really into it, standing, dancing and singing along for the entire 2 hour and 20 minute show. Being a good Church of Christ boy, I did not dance (as far as you know).
I have been a Bob Seger fan since the late ’70s when I bought Live Bullet! (and occasionally borrowed my sister’s copy of Beautiful Loser), but I had never seen him in concert. Saturday night’s show at Cobo Arena more than made up for that. Read a review of the show Here.
While in Detroit, I also got to go to one of my favorite restaurants.
…..at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan….. a baby boy was born to Paul and Margaret Slater.
Sheesh. What a dork.

Most of you have probably heard about the upcoming documentary that will claim that the tomb (and remains!) of Jesus has been discovered. Before you renounce your faith and embrace atheism, you might want to read the response from Bible Scholar Ben Witherington.

I know that I will still be celebrating Easter this year!

Update:
Here is a satirical interview with ‘Lost Tomb’ producer, James Cameron from Christianity Today.
Boogity, Boogity, Boogity!!!
This Sunday is the Daytona 500 — the official start of the NASCAR season. It looks to be an interesting year with all the rule changes, Toyota jumping in, and all the rules violations this week. I’ve joined a fantasy league this year, which should make the season a bit more entertaining (and I might even win some money). I think Toyota will start off slow, but be very competitive by season’s end. After all, they only took two years to win the Truck Series.
Tony Stewart looks strong for this season, and I think Ryan Newman will rebound from a tough 2006. Since he’s in contract negotiations, Junior should have a good year.
And let’s all hope that Kurt Busch has another lackluster season! 
What are your predicitions for this season?
As you have undoubtedly heard, the Dixie Chicks won several awards last night at the Grammy Awards. It should be no surprise that the left-leaning music industry would honor those who stauchly oppose President Bush.
Here is a Good Take on the whole controversy.
Our church received some good, free publicity today. The Ashland Times-Gazette did a nice story on our new building.
