Adding on to our house

    Remember when I said we were going to sell our house?  Never mind all that.  Building and addition, that is the cool thing to do.


    We have already drawn up our plans and got a building permit.  Now to just start the work.  We'll be taking our existing car port and patio which are a attached to our house, digging a crawlspace and building a master bed and bathroom.  This will basically make our house 150% the size it is now, which will be awesome.  Lucy is already really excited to move into our room.  We asked "Lucy, do you want a bigger room?" and she excitedly nodded her head "YEAH!"


    Planning on starting tearing tearing out all the concrete and building a new foundation starting sometime in the middle of the month.  Luckily I know a really awesome contractor.

Great Novels: Dune

    I recently finished reading Dune  as part of my quest to read the greatest novels of the 20th century .  I have always heard that Dune  was one of the greatest sci-fi novels ever written and it did not disappoint me in the least.     Dune follows the story of Paul Atreides, a young man  avenging his father after being defeated by a rival noble.  Paul is kind of messianic character, fulfilling prophecies, leading people, all that messiah stuff.     The world of Dune is quite intricate with many different factions involved in the conflict over the planet.  The universe that Herbert has created is very complex and you feel that you are only seeing the tip of the iceberg of what there is to find in his world.  Which I suppose is the reason for all of the books, games and other stuff that has spun off of this one book.   There are several other books in the Dune series and the first one has left me w...

Happy incarnation day.

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. Jesus was and is the God of the bible.  Today we celebrate him coming as a helpless child.  Happy incarnation day! http://bible.us/John1.14.ESV
