There’s big news in the O’Brien household! Kelly and I are expecting our first baby! She is now 12 weeks pregnant and we’re expecting our new addition, nicknamed “The Niblet”, around July 12th. The “all-day” sickness has been pretty rough on Kelly so far but it seems like it’s starting to subside.
I’ve got the sonogram pictures up on the gallery and expect more every month. It should be a heckuva ride. =)
Here’s a great write-up on who is to blame for the current economic crisis:

My dad got up on stage at the Ryman Auditorium, the original home of the Grand Ole Opry and belted out a tune. See it on YouTube:
I’ve made a couple changes to the site but you shouldn’t be able to notice what they are.
Hopefully none of these changes you will actually notice, because if you do then I didn’t do my job very well. 
In a NY Times article, the President-elect of the Christian Coalition, Rev. Joel C. Hunter stepped down from the post he’s had since July. What was the reason? He wanted the group to focus more on poverty and environmental issues. However, “He said that many evangelical leaders hewed to narrow moral issues because they were ‘deathly afraid of being labeled a liberal by other Christians, the media, talk radio.’
Since when are Christians afraid of fighting poverty and being custodians of our planet? How did these become taboo topics? I sure hope that someday soon Christians will wake up and realize that a couple bad eggs have steered them off the path and remember what it truly means to be Christian.
