jamba in my house

allright. with the last post i hope no one sensed that my wife was mad, she truly was baffled at the impulse buy of the vita-mix. to some it looked impulsive, but to me it was methodical. 3 years ago in costco, i was introduced to the vita-mix via a man with a madona microphone and a booth. thus started the lust. i then began to research the vita-mix and soon learned that the thing is pretty incredible. now you can go buy a new one for 500 or you can get one on ebay for 80. i am just gonna get some facts out there now:

-the vitamix super 3600 is the vitamix that they designed in the 70s and 80s. the design and components are still used today in modern machines
-all parts are still available via the company, thus showing that the same design is used
-the vm really does everything and finally i will ahve a juicer and blender that will kick butt at the rate of 530 mph, i think, that could be false but at least 200mph that is the speed of the revolutions on the blade
-makes hot soup in the blender
-all steel
-yes large, but it has handles
-hamilton beach will last about 8 blends and dont think of making horchata in the thing

more to come in a bit, now i must go to bed as laura and i are going camping tomorrow. i am pretty excited this is the first time we have been into the back country together just the two of us. should be nice. please pray as we retreat that he would meet us, we would meet eachother anew, and that there would be rest and vision casting for what is to come. we will be hitting lady lake, lillian lake, and chitintin (sp) lake. a little lake tour if you will. thanks for your prayers.



and yes all are invited to the first blending party, you name it i'll blend it, and did i mention the thing has a steel blender container that has a spout at the base..... now what you all have been waiting for:

Vita-Mix Super 3600
(scroll over the 70's and 80's bar to see her)

peace

My Husband

My wonderful husband, Bryan Cosby, has been talking about something called a "vita-mix" for over a year now. Today he decided that he needed one stat so he bought one on ebay (for a chunk of change). This is all fine with me, except for the part that he mentioned after purchasing- IT'S FROM 1969! We now own some really old, loud, extremely large (and tall) appliance from the 60's- this is a decade before I was born! And he is sooo excited. I'm so baffled right now. Does anyone else see how strange this is??? Am I alone here??? Please explain this to me. Is this a guy-girl thing?

Under the watchful eye of the pope

Do not deceive yourselves. If any one of you thinks he is wise by the standards of this age, he should become a "fool" so that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight. As it is written: "He catches the wise in their craftiness" and again, "The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile." So then, no more boasting about men! All things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours, and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God.

true, like a smack in the head.

Blog

does not register in blogger's spell check. ironic.

Well well well

back from a rather long break, thus it continues. the last post was posted by two of my closest friends. they staight up hijacked my login stuff for the blog and then went ahead and posted a photo and whamo my indentity has been taken. i would like to say it is due to a feeling of violation that i feel like i havent written in sometime, but that is not it at all. it is a little 10 week season of camp called summer. the staff left on sunday and a new guest group arrived on monday. no rest for the weary. usually an intense flood of emotions rushes in during the last few days of camp. i am the final voie as to when someone can leave or not, yielding the power of their final paycheck. thus beginins the emotions that come with such power. i am also in the tension of saying goodbye, being a hard ass to make sure that soap scum is off the shower wall, getting mad at people who leave their roommates with all the work. you really can learn a lot about people in how the carry out these final tasks of closing the chapter and the integrity with which they will choose to leave their rooms and help with the final camp tear down. there are some who will ask until the last thing is done, some will bail before others, some are completely ignorant and will learn, some are aware and look for a way out. anyway maybe i am a little testy but the words that i keep hearing are resolve and integrity. these words cannot be reomoved from our sirituality. i feel good though and will report more on the summer later. it was a great time as i feel like the Lord continues to entrust me with more in this place. lives are delicate and those he gives us may he smile as we are good stewards. i pray i learn more how to do this for my wife most importantly. if you all could, as i had my identity stolen with this blog, no big deal, i had a friend who earlier this fall had his mail stolen and someone hacked into their bank account and closed out a 600 dollar cellular bill. i think they are doing allright and the bank helped out, but man i wonder what that feels like....
