It has struck me again recently just how significant Jesus is. It’s not just that our entire calendar is based roughly on the year of his birth some two thousand years ago now. (Though that’s pretty significant.) It’s not just that there are people all over the entire world who know his name and use…
Year: 2009
Recommendation: Up by Pixar
A week or two ago we all watched the Pixar movie, “Up” together as a family. It was fun to see how it kept nearly everyone’s attention throughout, with lots of fun moments sprinkled through an emotionally touching story. I don’t use those words lightly! When it was over, Kirstie (our 5 year old) and…
Light. Eat!
Emma, our 21-month-old daughter, woke up yesterday with an upset tummy. It wasn’t awful, but she did a “dry heave” and definitely was not herself. I felt so bad for her, but also just could not figure out where she had gotten any sort of a stomach bug from?? We hadn’t been around anyone who…
Saint Nicholas – The Movie
In case you have not seen this yet, some good friends of ours produced their annual Christmas video, and this year they’ve outdone themselves! (Many folks want to see the full version of this “trailer”!) 🙂 Enjoy. And if you need any sort of video work done, you can’t do any better than LaBarge Media.
Unseen Help
My two boys and I have been trying to read through the book of Luke this month. At least the beginning, where we got to read again the story of Jesus’ arrival. It really is both ordinary and incredible all at once. We read the part about the angel appearing to the guys who were…
It Feels Like Motufrithursatnesday
For a long time now I have been working strange hours, strange days, long hours and long days. But also, thanks to the flexibility of owning my own businesses, there are also times when I will be able to attend a gathering, or assist in some capacity (moving someone, perhaps) on a day and time…
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
We have been getting snow the last few days here, and last night it finally turned into “real” snow! (The kind that comes down in big, fluffy flakes and starts piling up on everything quickly!) And it looks like there’s more where that came from! I love snow! It just makes me smile, and even…
The End of The Aught
For whatever reason, I’ve taken to using the words “aught nine” to describing the end of this year, and even this decade. (Well, the “aught” part.) And lately, Jen was quite confused by my usage of the archaic term… so I explained it to her, but then realized it was odd enough that I should…
Pranav Mistry: The thrilling potential of SixthSense technology
Wow. This is really amazing. I actually love the story behind it, too. (He shows you how he developed the ideas.) But the demos of it doing what it does… incredible interaction of digital and physical world. Worth the 15 minutes to watch!
View From Space … Almost!
This is… CRAZY. Had to post 🙂
