Jesus in China
PBS just ran a segment entitled Jesus in China. An interesting look at the Christians in China. Even included one of the churches I attended when I was in Beijing.
A highly recommended documentary showing how Christianity is evolving/revolutionizing the Chinese culture.

Can ordinary people recognize genius?
Washington post had an interesting article:
IF A GREAT MUSICIAN PLAYS GREAT MUSIC BUT NO ONE HEARS . . . WAS HE REALLY ANY GOOD?
If a world famous violinist played a strad at the L’enfant metro station would people stop to listen? Apparently most didn’t. Over a thousand people walked by… either in a rush or just ignored… it was quite an experiment.
Apparently Joshua Bell is world famous. Well, I take the metro every day. Whenever a musician or band plays at the metro, I usually walk by, so I can’t say I’ll be any better in recognizing talent. But I thought this article pretty insightful. Goes to show how much we really care about quality… I guess not much. :)

What not to do when the banks come after you…
Been watching the recent wave of foreclosures in the neighborhood… when our next door neighbor moved out, some of the local kids started playing with their hose and water. Granted it was hot, but we put a stop to it before it got out of hand, since it wasn’t their water and I was afraid they’d damage the property (and ours).
This video shows what the owners did to their house before they left… not a good sight. Advice: stop them :)

Baby Video: Stairmaster
Been meaning to post a video of baby climbing stairs. The other day, we were downstairs watching a movie while baby was sleeping upstairs. We heard her cry, but thought she might go back to sleep… a few minutes later the crying stopped and we continued watching our movie. Baby walked downstairs and into the kitchen… after climbing down the stairs without our supervision. We thanked God for protecting her. We had always supervised as she went up and down stairs, but this time, she did it by herself…
Anyways, here’s a video of her many tricks, i.e. going up the stairs.
