My channel 17 is from Mexico.
And I have been having nightmares about Mitt. Not about him winning, but just about him. Like where W is dead, and all of a sudden Mitt is in my living room. Or where I am skiing at Mammoth and all of a sudden Mitt is there as I am crashing.
So that is affecting my vote, at this moment.

As far as Heavenly Father is concerned, I think that He cares more about our free agency than He does most of our choices. For example: I am choosing to eat a crapload of carbs for dinner tonight, and I think He is down with that, because I am not diabetic.

“Funny how even the Provo Downtown Business Alliance can be framed in terms of good and evil, huh?”

Steve – that is something I think about EVERY day.

Tiffany, Provo’s Downtown Business Alliance is an association of ALL property owners in the downtown area (this is a good thing). Members can exercise their “free agency” and be involved in beautification committees, events, etc.(this again is a good thing). For six years, the Alliance has been funded by taxing EVERY property within its boundaries (this is a good thing for some, not a good thing for others). This tax must be paid or the gov’t can take away one’s property (this is satan’s plan). We voted (7-0) to keep and fund the Alliance (which is the good thing) but do away with the tax (5-2) (which is the bad thing).

So, we choose sides yet again. In my case, I have to/get to choose sides because I vote on the issues.

Funny how even the Provo Downtown Business Alliance can be framed in terms of good and evil, huh? Heavenly Father probably would have chosen to watch the Jazz.

Courtney, I like Council-ing with your mom. You, your dad and my wife are, no doubt, the only ones watching channel 17, though. When are we all going to go out to dinner again? How about La Casita? Your difficulty in choosing food came about because you were in the entirely wrong restaurant!

Well, I would have to say you made some good decisions. Nachos over burritos (but would have added some meat to that!). Utah Jazz all the way. Giuliani had a good debate jab at Paul, but still leaning towards Mitt too. Being a Republican may not score extra points with HF, but I think it’s a great choice! And sorry, I live in WY so I can’t say much about the Provo City Council. Anyway, thanks for letting me comment on your blog. My friend Jamie turned me onto it.
