He is risen

Tomorrow we celebrate the completion of our salvation.

Think about this... God somehow translated his "dna" into human form, was born and raised and lived as a human. He WAS human. A baby dependent on a mother and father, then a boy, then a man, then a sacrifice for all our sins. The ONLY sacrifice that could cover our sins, the sacrifice of God Himself.

The days in the crypt confirmed his death. The fact that he rose confirmed his power over death, and his promise to us to be raised again in a new body. Physical but of the spirit. (Spirit does not mean immaterial).

Life here and now, in the "flesh" may not always be good, but if we keep our eyes on God, we are promised something we cannot even begin to grasp...

Happy Easter!

Fires nicely, sight is off.

Got to go out and fire my new SD40 today. I think we (went with a friend) put about 50 rounds through it, maybe more, without a hitch. I noticed that the site is shifted to the left accounting for a good deal of my shots being off to the right. Trigger pull was firm but not gritty as I have heard, and not as heavy as I have also heard.

Received and installed my new Corsair water block for my CPU... what a dream! Quiet, and cools much better than the stock cooler did (and the AMD stock cooler is no slouch). I will never build another computer without one of these.

I try to avoid the news... but I clicked on My Yahoo today and the lead article was about how the President wants to raise the debt limit. Holy cow. I can feel the stress seeping throughout my body. I immediately fired off messages to our Senators begging them to do something about it. :)

Windows 8 is coming along at a steady pace, based on all the leaked screenshots. The beta is expected out next Autumn. Lion should be out soon as well and I will be buying the family pack again. I still hold hope that Apple will put out a headless mid-range computer again, some day.

WP7 Update and New Weapon

Microsoft and carriers have been a little slow getting the WP7 updates out. But I finally got the "nodo" update with cut and paste. Works very nicely.

Scooter, our puppy, is growing. He's blending in well with the rest of the zoo.

The kids are plowing through their classes and getting their work done.

My HHKB Pro arrived and I am loving it.

I got a new logitech Anywhere MX mouse which is great.

My S&W SD40 arrived today and I am looking forward to some plinking.

I'll write a more verbose post soon. :)
