It was a sad day in Salem today when the House of Representatives chose to abuse their power and invalidate Oregon's system of checks and balances. Please read Representative Richardson's attached newsletter and help put a stop to this manipulation of legislative power.

During morning devotions my daughter read about Jacob having to work seven years for his wife (Gen. 29) and then being given the wrong wife. I must not be feeling too spiritual today because all I could come up with was "Moral of the story: Don't get married in the dark." That was the extent I was willing to explain how he wouldn't know who he was marrying.

First day on the job here at the capital as Representative Dennis Richardson's Legislative Assistant. It's a little like drinking from a fire hose. Great stuff! I'm looking forward to being here in 2015 as an elected official.

Today's storms are tomorrow's memories, so press on to tomorrow that you might look back on today and smile.

Today's "Stark Reality":
When you home school you don't get to stay home from school when you are sick.

My son saved up his change to go buy a $2 bill. He asked if the government has gold or silver for the "pay to the bearer on demand" statement. I said "no". He then asks if they can print money whenever they want. I said "that's what they've been doing." He says "that doesn't make sense. How can that work? I bet they print a lot." "Yep", I said.
I'm glad he already gets it at age 8.
