My New Flashlight

People aren't very good at seeing in the dark.

Fact.

Home defense is something that when employed usually happens at night. Have you ever heard a bump in the night and scrambled for a flashlight? Well, I have and bumbling goes to a whole new level when it's 2 am, you're coming out of a deep wonderful sleep, and your wife is saying "Did you hear that? Go check it out".

Recently I finally fixed the flashlight problem with a Surefire G2X Tactical.

You may notice that its shaped kind of funny. It just so happens that the thing actually has a rifle bolted to it (crazy huh?). Here's a better shot. As far as I can tell the idea seems to be that you hold on to that vertical grip thingy and press the button on the back of the flashlight with your thumb to activate the light.

Genius!

I think this might be an answer to the age old question of "what if I find a bump in the night and it's hostile towards me?".

Talk about handy, right? Apparently all you have to do is just flip that marker from white to red and it's ready to punch holes in whatever bad thing is coming at you. I think that with this kind of flashlight I could defend my home really well.

Well that's my review of the Surefire G2X. It's great and everyone should have one (for each household member).

Oh and its really bright, too.

Echoes of What Ought to Be

Golden sunlight filtered by tint softly invading your automobile with a great song on the radio at highway speeds. No traffic, just you, the road, and the music. I know I’m not the only one who’s had the feeling that all is right in the world while on the open road with a great track list. Some would say we come from the happenstance of random atoms bumping into one another but I’d bet dollars to donuts they’ve had the experience of pretending like the song on the radio is their soundtrack for the moment. But why? Could it be that there is a part of us longing for a real serenade really meant for us every moment of our lives? Quiet when the time calls for it and loud when nothing else will seem to do. The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness; He will quiet you by his love; He will exult over you with loud singing. – (Zephaniah 3:17) Why does every story have the weak in need of salvation or the unlo...

A Happy Bear

Had I been given a million chances I’d have never guessed my life would end up how it is. I write this from the second floor of our home listening to my son sleep through the baby monitor as my wife gets ready for bed. It’s a nice house, too, something that just two years ago we couldn’t have hoped to own. Adding to that it’s our second home, in just a couple years. Two nice cars sit in our garage. One of them is even a Lexus. And yet this is not the life I wished for all those years ago. So if all my wildest dreams didn’t come true why do I feel so blessed? Because enough of my dreams came true to make me realize I wasn’t really in need of fulfillment in all the ways I could imagine. I was in desperate need to be fulfilled in all the ways I COULDN’T imagine. There was once a ship looking for shore when the saw in the distance an island. The crew then noticed a boat leaving that island. Coming alongside the crew gave salutations to which the other crew exclaim...
