Does the Bible Support Slavery? [Video]
Saw this linked from http://christopheryuan.blogspot.com/. An interesting answer to a question that has come up many times before. If the Bible is wrong on slavery, isn't it wrong on other things?
The short answer is that the Bible does NOT support slavery in the way we understand slavery (as in, American slavery). In fact, the Bible does speak out against such involuntary enslavement.
But the slavery spoken of in the Bible is more of an enlisted workmanship which is voluntary, but binding. In the video, Wayne Grudem says the closest thing we might have today is military service.
Thought it was interesting... check the first 4 minutes of the video for the details.
Baby kicking on the outside
Not the greatest video in the world, but it catches what took forever for me to see. Carolyn kept telling me things like, "My belly was bulging like a little foot was kicking on the inside" or "I was in a meeting and So-and-so just saw my belly pulse out!"
16 Week Ultrasound
Yeah, we're about 5 weeks late posting this video, but thought you might be interested anyways. At this point in the baby's development, you can tell the gender of the baby. Feel free to try to guess yourself based on what you see and what the doc says. *shrug*
12 Week Update
I've been a little slow with these video updates. This video (1:21 minutes) here is already two weeks past. A few clips showing how big the baby is now. Amazing at how a baby grows so fast. At this point in time, the baby has grown THREE times bigger over the course of only 2 weeks. If I grew 3x in two weeks I'd be ginormous. Watching the video makes me wonder how the baby knows what to do right now. Its arms and legs are moving around as it waits to be born in about 26 weeks from today. I wish I had a bigger vocabulary because "amazing" seems to lose its meaning each time we see the baby grow.
Like Deja Vu
Watching last week's "The Office" reminded me of a conversation that Ricky and I have had several times. It's eerily similar, almost verbatim. In the end, people may have tried to call me "Jimothy" before. I don't think it stuck.
The Joy of Videos
Ever since getting an iPhone 3GS, I'm starting to see the greatness of videos. I've dabbled in still photography for so long that I haven't necessarily appreciated the beauty (and difficulty!) of making good videos. I can see the challenge in creating with a medium that deals both with the visual and the audial. I wouldn't mind getting into filming, but I'd feel like I was turning my back on still photography.
Here's a video of Tyler Blackwell hiding under a box. I decided to splice in some sound effects from one of my favorite video games (begin nerd comments)...

James and Beni
A few weeks ago we were at Alex and Teresa's for dinner. At one point in the evenng, someone gave James the idea to feed the dog, Beni, by hand. So for about 10 minutes he just kept feeding Beni while everyone watched intrigued.
