Balloons

PICTURESQUE: This weekend is the annual Casper Balloon Fest. They headquarter out of a park about 2 to 3 blocks from our house. They were supposed to launch at 6:00 this morning but I think they were running late. Anyway I watched them rise above the tree line in the front of our house (north) and flow southeast toward the mountain. I watched from our backyard looking east. The rising sun made the silhouettes look spectacular. I know it's not as large as similar events in Iowa and Albuquerque and even the one we watched a couple of years ago in Littleton. Still it's a great way to greet the morning.
PATHETIC: I read that another evangelist by the alias of "Alamo" was convicted of transporting young girls across state lines to engage in sex. His defense-God wanted and commanded him to do this. This is just another example of deeds done in the name of God that I'm sure God wouldn't condone.
