twitterfeed now active on pcnelson.com

twitterfeed.pngIt was not too long ago that I was wondering if there was a way to push my blogs out to my twitter feed. I follow a few feeds like @wsj and thought surely they do not manually push all their posts to twitter. I noticed recently that they are using a service called twitterfeed.

blue steel rides another day…

photo.jpgIf you have known us for very long you have no doubt met “Blue Steel”. Blue Steel is our 2002 Ford Excursion land yacht. When you have as many kids as we do you need some room to move around. Blue Steel has been to Colorado twice, the beach more times than I can count, and has cranked every time that we ever asked her to. Other than gas, oil, and tires there is almost nothing that we have done for her; though she does take A LOT of gas which this last summer was not very much fun.

We are very grateful for Blue Steel and the service that she has provided to the Nelson family. We have prayed over her more than a few times to thank God for providing such a wonderful and reliable car for all the kids and Catch. Today, Blue Steel reached a milestone in her life and flipped 100,000 miles. We will celebrate tonight as a family.
