Shawnda and I watched Ushpizin last night and I really enjoyed it for a number of reasons. One of which was the window it gives into Jewish tradition and the faith of the Jews. It was beautiful.
One scene that stood out to me is where the wife shares these words that make you feel as [...]

Geico Sky Writing
This is the craziest sky writing I’ve ever seen. I shot the other weekend in Charleston, there were 5 planes advertising for GEICO Insurance. How they coordinated it is amazing.
You have to give it to GEICO for great advertising - the caveman ads, the gecko (though he’s getting annoying) and now this. I’m [...]
The Power of No
This is a must read article from Newsweek for all parents or parents to be about the dangers of overindulgence and importance of saying no. There is a lot in here to take to heart especially as Christians who are called to a life of true sacrifice and happiness, and as those who have the [...]
Weekend in Charleston
Shawnda and I had a great time celebrating our 4th anniversary in Charleston, SC. We loved the city and can’t wait to go back sometime. It was a good break from the kids but it’s also nice to be back with them.
This week has been one of those crazy-busy weeks. Meetings, writing, planning, getting [...]

Genocide in Darfur
I heard on the radio this morning that President Bush made statements yesterday about imposing sanctions on the government of Sudan in order to stop the genocide in Darfur. This is after 4 years of the genocide happening and being known.
I am guilty of not doing much even terms of praying so I’m not going [...]
Sanjaya is on fiya!
This has been stuck in my head all week.
What’s at the Heart of the Murders?
Abraham nails my thoughts on the Virginia Tech situation:
While others are already making the Virginia Tech massacre a political issue and looking vehemently for someone to blame, let us remember that “the heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick” (Jeremiah 17:9).
Our hearts and the murderer’s.
No x-ray machines, revised gun laws, or fired [...]
