Hurray for the Supreme Court!

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court says Americans have a right to own guns for self-defense and hunting, the justices' first major pronouncement on gun rights in U.S. history.

The court's 5-4 ruling strikes down the District of Columbia's 32-year-old ban on handguns as incompatible with gun rights under the Second Amendment. The decision goes further than even the Bush administration wanted, but probably leaves most firearms laws intact.

The court had not conclusively interpreted the Second Amendment since its ratification in 1791. The amendment reads: "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

The basic issue for the justices was whether the amendment protects an individual's right to own guns no matter what, or whether that right is somehow tied to service in a state militia.

315!!!

Well after coming back from the cove camping trip I stepped on the scaled and it read 315! Holy crap...remain calm... Now I was at the gym and I had my workout close on. I normally weight myself at home in the morning butt naked. Yet I don't think that adding clothes plus a different scale could add up to 15lbs. I know I haven't been working out at all like I should, until yesterday! I feel very sore today from blasting my chest last night. I really miss the good aches and pains of building muscle and can't wait to start lifting heavy again. Here's to the pain that feels o so good...

This weekend was great and tiresome... I started a new book, eat great food, smoked great cigars, drank good whiskey, and hung out with my wife and great friends. It was great getting to know Ben, Crystal, and Jill. Beth and I helped with the prep for the hungry campers which was tiring at times but great so see people happy from the great food Rich had made. I had some great time sitting by myself reading and just thinking about life.

Johnathan Edwards+John Piper= Deep thoughts

I was listening to John Piper today talk to a group of pastors about the theology of Johnathan Edwards and a single question kept running around in my head.

Who among you labors to know Christ? This has left me speechless...

More importantly...Do I labor to know Christ? God Help me...
