Google Adsense

some of you may have noticed i added adsense to my blog, it is a way to make a bit of extra cash. i get a small percentage of money anytime someone clicks through on a site they see and want to check out. i can't really control content on the links. google uses some method to make the links relevant to the stuff on the page it is placed. 

anyway, i noticed a link to Christian Leadership B.S., i am aware that means bachelor of science, but i did find some irony in the fact that google thinks my blog is relevant to Christian Leadership BS. :)

heading to orlando

i am stuck in the denver airport on my way to orlando. i will be part of a CBF related current conference for young CBFers. 

airports are funny, i am waiting on some dinner and there is a guy standing out side the eating area just hollering. free tickets! free tickets! free tickets! i can't tell from where i am sitting but he must rep some credit card offering free miles if you sign up. 

it is quite funny though peoples reaction to him.

as we prepare to do a small bit a publicity for the church i wonder if any advertising works. we seem so numb to it in our culture. i know it must work or i assume it does. after all why do people spend so much money on it. 

still nothing beats word of mouth. i love eating at a restaurant someone told me about or buying something because some other person i know has it and swears by it. i'll be do'n a bit of publicity for our church, but i do so with a bit of a aloof air about it. 

i'll take word of mouth any day.

from the mouths of babes

My daughter, Avery, prefers to have her hair done in a hair style known as "Dog Ears". I only know how to fix her hair with a "Pony Tail". Being that I have worn a crew cut for most of my life I believe it is impressive that I can fix her hair at all. 

She doesn't think so, and often attempts to convince me to give her "Two Pony Tails", that is Avery talk for the "Dog Ears" hair style. I gave up long ago trying to explain to her ponies don't have 2 tails. This explanation is always met with an insistence that Timber has two dog ears and she wants 2 pony tails. 

On the days I fixed Avery's hair for the last several months I have convinced her only mommy knows how to give her "Dog Ears" or in her words "Two Pony Tails".

Recently Courtney bought some Detangle Hair stuff to spray in Avery's hair after a bath before you comb it out. I hate the stuff. It is greasy! So I choose not to use it. I prefer to work through the tangles naturally. 

Wednesday night I gave Avery a bath and she hopped up on her stool by the sink in her fashionable blue robe and asked to use the Detangle Hair stuff. I replied, "Only mommy knows how to use that stuff. Daddy CAN'T DO IT." 

from the mouths of babes...

Avery forcefully turned and replied with insistence, "Daddy, yes you can! DADDY YOU CAN DO ANYTHING!"

Only two women fill my heart that way, Avery is one of them. I often respond to her when she is frustrated with the thought, she can do anything she wants if she is willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen. Maybe she is listening.

Oh yea, I still didn't use that greasy stuff.
