It’s hear!
I put up a new recipe.
I’m going to go spend some time with my family.
If you’re going to read through the Bible with me this year, I’d like to invite you to read the first four chapters of Genesis with Jessica and I.

This recipe was passed down from the ancient cooks of middle earth until it got to my sister-in-law Shari, who passed it on to us.
I like them, they’re a tasty treat.
Jessica will probably get tired of making them before I’ll get tired of eating them 😉
Actually, they’re so easy I could make them for myself.
The following ingredients are for one pancake.
If you want 5 pancakes you’ll need to repeat this 5 times.
The pancakes are pretty large in diameter, I usually eat 2-3.
Beat all ingredients in a small bowl.
Melt butter in hot pan, and pour in batter.
Flip when needed.
Serve with butter, cinnamon and sugar, fresh fruit, powdered sugar, jam, or anything yummy!
These are like thick crepes.
I would like to recommend that you try these with almond butter and real maple syrup.
The combination of the two is something like pure, sweet taste bud ecstasy.
It’s nearing midnight…I hope that my neighbors aren’t too loud at 12:00, because I’m going to sleep. I’m tired and quite frankly, I’m exhausted.
We went to the Henebury’s tonight, which was good. We’ve not been there for some time.
Their friends the Hamblets were there as well (they may very well become our friends if we’re not careful[that’s a joke]).
Finally, after a long evening, Abby couldn’t take any more and so we’ve come home.
2003 has been a cool year, and has yielded a lot of fruit, but the best fruit of all is that it brings us closer to the return of the Lord, Jesus Christ.
I’m excited to be with my Savior, even though now I’m presently seated with Him (Colossians 3).
I look forward to 2004 because Abby will be getting older, we might have more children (or at least try, Lord willing), and any moment could be yet another exciting story, moment, or maybe, just maybe I’ll be using Microsoft Office and my co-workers will come dump water on my head, just like in the commercials.
Actually, those commercials cause me concern.
The reason they do is that 1) The people are all just a little too happy and 2) if you got your computer wet like that you’d lose all of that valuable data that just got you dumped on.
But I digress.
May the Lord bless you in 2004, may He be glorified in my life, your life, and in the content of this web site.

I’m listening to Brave Saint Saturn‘s second album, The Light of Things Hoped For.
It has to be one of the most passionate, emotive albums I own.
One song, Estrella, nearly makes me cry.
While that makes me sound like an emotional wuss, I must confess that the content of the song strikes a cord in my heart: my motivations are sometimes so shallow.
If I had a goal for 2004 it would be to be even more passionate about abiding in the Holy Spirit and letting the Lord be Lord, even when it doesn’t feel good to my greedy, selfish flesh.
I praise God that His son died for me so that I could even have a choice to not choose sin.
I’m grateful that in Heaven we’ll get new bodies that will be perfected and will give even greater glory to our Redeemer!
That being said, Brave Saint Saturn’s albums are really worth owning – Reese Roper is a brilliant writer.
We’ll miss Five Iron Frenzy (a band that had members of Brave Saint Saturn in it), but I’m glad to still have at least one more album from BSS coming out.
I still have yet to get the last 5Fe album, but it’ll be available to me at some point in time – I may get it from their site.
Anyway, I just thought I’d tell you that I liked their album and suggest that you consider owning it.
Resting in Him,
Randy “Cry Baby” Peterman

It’s past our bedtime here in Texas, but I wanted to say, ‘hi.’
We’ve been on the phone most of the evening with some exciting news in our
family, news I cannot share.
Ha ha… you won’t know what the news is until later.

This evening, while winding down, I watched the end of a PBS documentary on the Wright brothers and their first manned flighing machine.
It reminded me that just earlier today I had been on an airplane that was hurtling hundreds of miles and hour over the surface of the earth.
Not just over the surface of the earth but (plus or minus) thirty-two thousand feet above the earth.
The cabin was pressurized, we were served drinks and (tiny) bags of pretzels – twice.
What a thing it is to fly, we take it for granted.
In my great grandpa’s lifetime man went from Kitty Hawk to walking on the moon.
In my lifetime we went from telephones to instant messaging, 8 track to MP3.
Abigail will not know a time before the internet and cellular phones (though she may someday talk about such technologies to the amazement of her children or grandchildren).
God has given us a great intellect, let us use it to His glory!
In the mail while I was gone came a summons to go to jury duty.
I’m excited and frustrated at the same time.
It is a privelage to exercise my civil duty as a juror (though I have not
been officially selected), but I’ve got a ton of work to do so the loss of
a day or more feels like a beating.
We’ll see, the Lord will take care of the situation and I’ll relaxe knowing
that this is just work for Him either way.
I may have to put in overtime at Alt-N (overtime is not quite the right word)
to get things done, but that is life, and I’ll do my best to serve the
Lord while working at Alt-N.
Resting in Him,
Randy Peterman
