Merry Christmas Eve!!!

Tonight, Michelle, Eli and I spent Christmas Eve with my family and my aunt and uncle's family. We exchanged gifts and had a wonderful meal and a wonderful time together. We are spending tomorrow night with Michelle's family and then heading up to San Francisco to visit Michelle's grandparents and aunts and uncles up there. Anyway, one thing that I asked for and was really hoping to get was a rubik's cube. I got it so far scrambled up that I doubt I will ever be able to solve it. But one day, I hope to be better than this person, who happens to be 21 years younger than me.

Time Warp - Lighter in Blender

Dave Matthews Band Rocks!

I was transferring some old pics from our old computer to our new one and I found these pictures. This was from 2.5 years ago, so its old news, but its still pretty cool.

But I especially love this time of year because it is High School Christmas Party music video time. This year, my group wanted to do a music video to Kung Fu Fighting. So here it is:

What do you think?

I heard that the following 5 beliefs have been shared by all societies throughout history.

1. If something promotes human survival, it is a reason to do it.
2. If something is in the interest of a family member, it is a reason to do it
3. We have a greater obligation to help our own children than we do to help complete strangers.
4. Altruism is praiseworthy and deserves admiration.
5. Anyone who has deliberately harmed should be punished or shunned.

Do you agree with these 5 statements? Why or why not? How do these 5 beliefs jive with the Biblical message? Are they compatible with a Christian worldview?

Thoughts From A New Father...

You know that you have reached fatherhood when your wife points out that you have your son's poop on your finger and you think to yourself "I'll wash that off after I finish my sandwich."

Also, here are some cute pics of Eli and one pic of how much fun I've been having with my new IMac.
