We Are 7 Months Pregnant!!!!

Yelp. Just like that.

No morning sickness or hormones – just a ton paper work and hours of prayer.

Barring any unforeseen situations, Em and I will be adopting a little boy around the second of February. Granted, it could be a tad earlier or later – depending on how quickly he wants to [...]

There is no remembrance of men of old….

forest pathWhy must we always try to forge our own path?

Why must ever generation think that they are ‘different’?

Could we not lean on the teachings of our fore-fathers and learn from their lives?

One of the saddest things about the culture in the USA is the dismissal of history and our elders. We do not listen to them nor learn from their mistakes. Instead, we forge out on our own – trying to make our path.

It reminds me of Ecclesiastes 1:11:

There is no remembrance of men of old,
and even those who are yet to come
will not be remembered
by those who follow.

Yet – if I might be so bold - I firmly believe that this ‘tradition’ of independence needs to be stopped. We need to teach our young people the value of history and the importance of learning from those who walked the path of life before us. Continue reading There is no remembrance of men of old….

Instead of picking up a book or doing my homework, I decided to browse Hulu. Not necessary the best thing to do – but a fun thing to do on a cold lazy morning when the gravitation field of the bed is strong then one’s will.

Browsing the “Most Popular” selection, I discovered a fantasy style show called the “Legend of the Seeker” created by the guys who did “Hercules” and “Xena”.

Unfortunately, the show wasn’t all that good – at least from a philosophical view.

You see, in the “Seeker” universe there is a really bad “guy” named the Keeper, who is the lord of the underworld (i.e. Hades, the dead, etc). He is trying to destroy the land of the living along with everything living (i.e. plants, humans, animals, etc). Basically, the Keeper is your standard ultimate evil spirit being based upon devil of the Bible.

On the other side of the battle there are a few humans who are fighting for “truth” or good. Armed with various levels of magic (which, in this universe, is a neutral force – either good or bad), these “good guys” come against the Keeper and his forces by seeking the “Truth”.

Pretty standard fantasy style stuff. Continue reading Hulu, Fantasy Shows, and Bored Thoughts
