Yes, that's right. My friend Julie's dog has a blog:
A Dog's Life
I guess animals ARE part of the family and blogging is a good way to remember puppydom. It's pretty funny.
But...I doubt this would work with my pets...cats sleep most of the time and they don't go on adventures in the city.
A note to my younger sister:
Drunk Dialing my cell is one thing
Drunk dialing our home phone is worse.
Drunk dialing home phone at 12:45 am when Mom and Dad are asleep and the telephone in the next room could easily wake them....that's just, well, dumb.
Thankfully it did not wake them up.
This time, it's Tony Snow who (reportedly) will exit the Bush White House.
Any bets who's next out the door?
On this dreary, rainy weekend, I lounged around and took in several movies:
Win a Date With Tad Hamilton
City of Angels
Under the Tuscan Sun
Copycat
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
And perhaps the most embarrassing to admit watching: the original High School Musical. Quite cheesy, but then again it is supposed to appeal to a younger audience. Why is it so popular? Perhaps because teen girls like Zac Efron.
Ahh ...the wonder of cable TV.

Whether or not one agrees with the concept of same-sex marriage, this is pretty funny. What would happen if we were to obey some of God's other laws to the letter?

An Open Letter to George Bush
Dear President Bush:
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from you and understand why you would propose and support a constitutional amendment banning same sex marriage. As you said "in the eyes of God marriage is based between a man a woman." I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination... End of debate.
I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them.
1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify?
Why can't I own Canadians?
2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?
3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanness - Lev.15: 19-24. The problem is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?
6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination - Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this? Are there degrees of abomination?
7. Lev.21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here?
8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?
9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field. He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone him? (Lev.24:10-16.) Couldn't we just burn him to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)
I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I am confident you can help.
Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.

This has been posted in a lot of places...I most recently found it here
Karl Rove is leaving the White House.
This fact makes many people very happy, as he is kind of a sleazy character. I read one article calling this the death knell of the Bush presidency. George is indeed the lamest of all lame ducks. January 2009 can't come soon enough.
I bought my name as a web address in anticipation of creating a website at some point...
For now, www.bernechristiansen.com will direct to this blog.
By now, people anywhere near a radio, newspaper, TV or computer have heard about the terrible bridge collapse here in Minneapolis:
All I can say is HOLY CRAP. This is a bridge that everyone in Minnesota has probably used at one time, and that those of us in the Twin Cities use regularly.
What the hell causes a structure like that to inexplicably fall down? So weird.
