Christmas in Egypt Video

You guys know I wouldn't go on vacation and not take the video camera. Here are the highlights of our trip through Jordan and Egypt this past week.

Happy Holidays

We wanted to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas. B and I spent our Christmas holiday running around Egypt. Egypt is a good country..... Its really busy. Its a good place to visit, but I am very happy that we live where we live. It is so much more simple. It was a great test on how well we understand Arabic. Egyptians don't speak our dialect of Arabic. Best I can tell they speak Arabic like the Cajuns speak English.
We spent most taxi rides arguing over prices, dodging jaywalkers, and inhailing large amounts of smoke.
But with all that said, it was a wonderful trip. We hope you guys had a wonderful time with family and friends. We love all of you.
Dasha, we are soooo sorry. We got to Cairo and realized we didn't have your number. We are sooooooo sorry. We are horrible people.

Laundry Day Video

We had to do laundry. We had to. No more clothes. We also had guests coming to stay in two days, so we decided to do all of our laundry in one day. Then it rained, so we couldn't hang it all up on the roof. We had to improvise. I felt like I was living in a West Side Story scene. It was nuts for a couple of days, but it is all done. Watch and enjoy.

Christmas Decorations Video

I must confess that this video was really just made on a need on my part and not out of the wanting to inform you guys or help you see a window into our lives. I just really felt like making a video and seeing, as it may be, that I am a horrible actor I need something inanimate to film.

Hence, the video on Christmas decorations. The song behind the video isn’t really a Christmas song, but several lines in this song grabbed me the other day, so I included it.

When thinking about the first Christmas night, it truly was “the night the world began again.” All of history past had been looking for this “new start” that Christ only can give, and history present and future cling to that “new start.” Truly through Christ’s birth the world began again.

The second line is, “the one, poor child that saved this world, and there is ten million more that probably could, if we all would stop and say a prayer for them.” I read this line and think of the potential of my child. (Christmas this year is a lot different from the Christmas past. I tend to think of the birth of a baby a little more often these days. Hmm I wonder why?) While Christ alone deserves the title “Savior,” think of what could become of my kid, or Jaden, or Emma Grace or any other of all the babies that have been born this year. Through the grace of God these will be the people that finish strong. The generation that will see peace reign, that see the borders of North Korea and Saudi open up to the Truth, that see gas prices soar above $10.00 a gallon. J So this songs takes my mind of the here and now and puts me praying for the world my kids and all the rest of “you that are trying to over populate the world”’s kids will live in. It gets me praying for my kid and that “Baby Bull” will run the race better, longer, and closer to our Father than I ever do. I am praying that Baby Bull plays a part in “saving the world.”

So, I am really sorry about all that. I am not even a father yet and I rambling on and on and Baby Bull doesn’t even have a SSN yet. Sorry, I can’t promise anything. It’s probably going to get worse.

So back to here and now, I needed something to make a video of e.i.: Christmas decorations; and a song to put on it e.i.: Better Days. So I just needed a creative outlet and you can suffer through it.

Cheers!

Baby Bull

For all of you that are looking at the banner for the website and are a bit confused. We would like to announce the expected arrival of “Baby Bull.” Due to the fact that we don’t know if he is a she, or she is a he. We are going to do away with the use of misleading pronouns and just call the baby “Baby Bull.” Baby Bull will be here around mid to late July. We are very excited and are going to do our best to keep all you guys informed on what is going on.

Every Public Speakers Nightmare

Being that I am learning a new language, I am sure that I have slip ups like this everyday. I just don't know enough of the language to be able to understand what I just said. I know you will enjoy this.
