Well another job, albeit a brief one (4 months) is over. Today is my last day at HealthWare Solutions and although it's been a good learning experience I can't say that I'm really sad. People have asked me what it's like to sit in a cubicle all day, in front of a PC answering peoples problems and testing software. The closest thing I can relate it to is the feeling you get when it's a beautiful day and you've been sitting inside with the shades drawn watching TV for hours, and then you finally get up and go outside and have a kind of depressed, tired, hung-over feeling. That's how I feel every day.  

So here we go, after a 3 year break from full time ministry I'm excited and ready for the challenges God has for me!
Daily prayers are greatly appreciated!

Jess and I both took Friday off, her from school and me from work. We headed south for a secluded little vacation community called Shelter Cove to explore for the day. To get there you go south to a little "farming" community in the redwoods and then head due west on a windy road until you hit the coast. Shelter Cove is an interesting place, basically like a hidden neighborhood of giant houses on the coast that people only live in part of the year. Not a whole lot there except a couple of cool beaches, one of which Jess and I were at long enough for me to get my annual sun burn and see some whales which were literally only about a hundred yards from the beach. Other than that the weekend went pretty fast. One more week at my job...

P.S. We are now taking bookings for weekend stays (or longer) at Casa De Fouche for the Spring/Summer Season.

If I was to pick one group that I would call the biggest rip off artists, or copy cats as we called them when I was a kid... it would be Christians (a close second would be the Fox network).
Behold the latest item desgined to help young Christian kids witness to their friends...I give you the "Die Saved" bracelet.



Now I know what your thinking, "I don't have any room on my arm after my WWJD and FROG bracelets!" My advice to you is this, pray the prayer of Jabez, get out of the late 90's, cash in your secular "Live Strong" bracelet,  and jump on board the J-Train for the newest gear...I mean movement, that's sure to bring revival.

Now I'll try and be sensitive with this post because I understand that there are people that genuinely have issues with alcohol and have struggled with alcholism. On the other hand there are those in the church that somewhere, somehow made up some theology about how having a pint is a sin. The question is why?
Jesus first miracle was making wine. Not only making wine but making wine when people had already had too much to drink. Now I've heard pastors from the pulpit try and say, "Well, we all know wine back then was weak, more like grape juice." That's baloney because there were no refrigerators to slow down the fermentation process. But I digress...
Beer really came into it's own with the Christian Monks and there are stories of saints even performing miracles with beer. Upon the study of the Bible and church history the only logical conclusion to come up with is that it is more biblical to drink beer then to not. Some day I might start something similar to what one Catholic Church in Oregon has started.

So if you haven't seen Napoleon Dynamite then you should. If you have, then I thought I would inform you that after much research I have found out that there is indeed such a creature as a Liger. Click here and the picture for the straight up facts.

P.S. Yes, the last blog was an April Fools joke...
