I Still Wander Off, But You Always Find Me. Thank You, Lord.So Jesus used this illustration, "If you had 100 sheep and one of them strayed away and was lost in the wilderness, wouldn't you leave the 99 others to go and search for the lost one until you found it? And then you would joyfully carry it home on your shoulders. When you arrived you would call together your friends and neighbors to rejoice with you because your lost sheep was found." Luke 15:3-6.

Special Primary Day Post!

I have a special poem that I wrote for the elections yesterday.  It was inspired when I was walking through a bookstore and found a children's book called Llama Llama, Mad at Mama.  My brother zinged off a one-liner that was something like "More like Llama Llama, Mad at Mama, Voting for Barack Obama", and I thought, I should write a poem about this.  So here it is.

Llama Llama Mad at Mama (Primary Edition)

Llama llama wakes up mama

Time for crucial voting drama

Hillary and Barack in a dead heat

For our votes they must compete.

 

Llama llama so excited

To voting he has been invited

For he’s reached the proper age

To determine who holds the keys to his cage.

 

But mama llama has no stresses

Not concerned with politics and presses

Gets out of bed and makes some toast

What to eat, Kellogg’s or Post?

 

Llama llama does not care

Political tension is everywhere;

Gas taxes and insurance plans

Each candidate takes a stand.

 

Hurry up, mama llama!

Time to vote and stop this trauma.

Finally mama’s meal is done

Time to end what has begun!

 

Llama llama hits the floor,

Peddling for the Festiva doors.

But first a stop for groceries galore

Mama llama drives to the store.

 

Llama llama fusses and pouts

Wanting to destroy a politician’s clout.

It’s no fun at Shop-o-Rama

Llama llama mad at mama!

 

Previous defeats must be avenged

On mama llama he vows revenge.

The one she picks will feel the pain

A scorned young voter will be their bain.

 

At the register he sees Mama pause

By a poster of a scary Mrs. Claus.

Wait, that’s not a yuletide saint

But Hillary Clinton looking vain.

 

Bag the groceries, pay the cashier.

Wave goodbye in the rear-view mirror.

Llama llama’s on his way

To make his mama’s favorite pay.

 

At last the precinct comes in view

Mama makes him tie his shoes.

No more stops, no more delays

The voting playground is open for play!

 

Show your license, sign your name

Before you play the White House game.

Llama llama enters the booth

Giggles and plots like a little sleuth.

 

Llama has figured it out you see

Who his mother’s choice will be.

Llama llama mad at mama

Voting for Barack Obama!

Baby Names

Two of my coworkers had baby boys recently, and it got me thinking about the best possible names I could give my sons one day.  First and foremost I like Colton Peyton Aumiller.  It has Colton for the Indianapolis Colts, and Peyton for their greatest quarterback ever (I also thought about using Addai for the middle name, but Peyton's way cooler).  Plus, if I only have girls Peyton Colton could work equally well.  Next, there's Hoosier Robert Aumiller.  Hoosier for the incredible IU basketball team, not to mention that I could say "Hoosier daddy?  I AM, so get your butt in bed!!"  Then their's Robert for Bob Knight, the greatest coach IU will ever see.  Why don't you come back Bobby?  My favorite name that my wife will never allow is Boba Fett Aumiller, no need to even explain why that one is awesome.  And lastly, there's the name picked out by the Ocean Room boys at KPS, Optimus Prime Dude Aumiller.  An awesome name from my awesome kids.  Let me know how you think I could persuade my wife (whoever she may be) to let me use these names!

The Dream Combo

My random blog for the month.  So, ever since I realized that Natasha Bedingfield and Daniel Bedingfield were related (go figure) I've always thought that they'd be killer if they did a duo album together.  Natasha's got some great music and a great voice and Daniel, well, he's got a great voice.  So naturally these siblings of soul should team up to take on the world right?  Well, apparently they already have.  I stumbled onto an article on Wikipedia which reveals that Natasha and David were part of a 90's Christian group called The DNA Algorithm.  Not exactly the team-up I'd expected, but to top it all off they apparently have another sister who was in the group with them as well.  Where is this superpowered team of Brits with perfectly aligned canines, and why aren't they dominating the airwaves?  Apparently secular music had a broader appeal, so they broke up.  Hmm...a bit of a disappointment but I suppose they've gotten what they were looking for.  Still I found the whole thing kind of interesting.

Just finished the second book of the Mistborn triology, The Well of Ascension.  Wow.  Still epic, still great, but not as good as the first one I think.  What I enjoyed in the first book, The Final Empire, was watching how Kelsier, Vin, and the rest of their group subtly manipulated the noblemen in their society.  It showed the author's accurate grasp of how society's form and evolve, how classes interact with one another; not to mention some great action sequences.  The second book analyzed some of the same concepts, but it just didn't pull me in as closely as the The Final Empire did.  There was less substance to the writing, the twists didn't surprise me, and it had no cut ending because it had to prepare for the third book (I do understand that the latter is almost unavoidable in a trilogy).  Despite my criticisms however, the story was thoroughly enjoyable and after all, isn't that one of the core motivations for independent reading?  Sanderson's writing is always above the level of the average sci-fi novel which is refreshing in a genre that churns out so many cookie-cutter, although enjoyable, fantasy series.  If your open to the genre, I would recommend reading the first two books.  The first one is actually being reprinted with a coupon for $5 off the third book, which makes me a little disappointed that I already own it (although I received mine as a gift, so who can complain).  My only word of advice is to pace yourself a little better than I did, because now I'm stuck waiting until October for the final book to come out.
