Muppet Show Mana-mana “Manha-Manha” – The most popular videos are a click away
I must admit I sometimes watch the History Channel (since we have basically 6 channels to choose from on our cable package). I have caught myself watching a few of the shows listed in the following article, half laughing, half wondering about the things discussed. It is truly sad that the producers at the HISTORY channel count themselves as prophets…
Great article here:

Gotta love mixing Beethoven and the Muppets…

What should we do with Halloween?
Published October 26, 2009 Bible , Blogs , Christ 5 CommentsTags: Christians, Halloween, Steve Russo, Ultimate Source of Power
I came across this great little article the other day about our Christian response to Halloween. I admit, as a parent it is hard not to get excited for my girls who want to dress up like a fairy or princess or, in this year’s case, a bride (AHHHHH!!!). But I have struggled with how to keep their mind “set apart” from the norm in the celebration of this “holiday.”
Steve Russo, the author of “Halloween” gives a nice little history of the holiday as well as some suggestions for a Christian’s response to the day. Have a look:

There is a Builder in Holland, Johan Huiber, who is currently attempting to build a full-size replica of Noah’s Ark, based on Biblical dimensions. It is very interesting reading about his project and how he has put together this massive floating testament to Biblical truth. You can check out the website of the Ark here:

Also, Answers in Genesis has a lot of great proof and information on how Noah’s Ark could have really existed. Check it out here:

BOB&TOM TV: “Obama Man” by Greg Morton
I love the movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (the original, of course), but I won’t be singing “The Candy Man Can” the same way now that I have seen this video…
She's off!
Well, we sent Child #1 off to her first day of school (kindergarten) this morning. I got her out of bed and we did breakfast, Keys for Kids, got her dressed, brushed her teeth, and loaded her in the van to take her to school. (We are not brave enough parents to send her on the bus yet…)
I have been joking a lot lately that I am not ready to send her to school for another 20 years. Well, I made it through the drive to the school, walking her up to the door, meeting the teacher, saying good bye, and walking back to my car. But it hit me like a TONS of bricks when I sat in the van and realized my baby girl is now gone for the day. Yeah, I fought the tears like a real man, but I already miss her and it has ONLY BEEN AN HOUR!!!!
How do other people cope with this major milestone in life? Does it get easier with each child? Or is the last hardest? How will I deal with Coll… Coll… I CAN’T EVEN TYPE IT!!! I think you can prepare a child for their first day of school, but I don’t think there is any way to really prepare the first-time parent…
