Tuesday, May 27th, 2008Â
My kids and I went to see “The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian” which continues where the last movie left off. We have the four children, Peter (William Moseley), Susan (Anna Popplewell), Edmund (Skandar Keynes), and Lucy (Georgie Henley) returning to Narnia. They along with Prince Caspian (Ben Barnes) work together to revive the fantasy world of Narnia that was once [...]
Review: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of Crystal Skull
Monday, May 26th, 2008It’s been a Movies-Movies weekend for me and the kids! We have seen the new Indiana Jones movie, “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” and “Prince Caspian” from the Chronicles of Narnia series. Today I will review the Indy film.
If I had to compare Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of Crystal Skull to the previous films, I [...]
The Real Indiana Jones
Monday, May 26th, 2008It is a little known fact that the fictional Indian Jones is in fact based on the real life of Colonel Percy Fawcett. Fawcett was born in 1867 and disappeared in 1925 while searching for what he called “The Lost City of Z” with his son, Jack Fawcett.
In so many ways Fawcett was just like [...]
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of Crystal Skull
Saturday, May 24th, 2008Well, it’s been a real 18 years between “The Last Crusade” and “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” and Indy has aged like we all have. I must admit that I have some apprehension as a die-hard Indy fan on this one… but the previews looks extremely promising, so take a look at the videos and see what you think.  If [...]
Question: “Why should I read the Bible?”
Thursday, May 22nd, 2008Answer: In 2 Timothy 3:16-17 Paul through the inspiration of God writes, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.”

All Scripture …
Here, “all Scripture” means everything which, through [...]

Â
A non-player character (sometimes “non-playable character” or “non-player class”), often shortened to NPC is used in console and computer [...]
Sand and Surf? Actually Bay City Rollers
Sunday, May 18th, 2008What is a family to do when the temperature in your city is predicted to hit 105 degrees? Of course, “YOU GET OUT OF THERE!”  And we so packed up the car and we went to Beverly… Hills that is…. Not really… We actually headed to Half Moon Bay on the coast where the temperature [...]
Felix the Wonderful Cat
Friday, May 16th, 2008One of my earliest childhood memories (early 1960’s) is sitting in front of our Black and White television and watching with rapt attention while the following lyrics played:
Â
Felix the Cat,
The wonderful, wonderful cat!
Whenever he gets in a fix
He reaches into his bag of tricks!
You’ll laugh so much your sides will ache,
your heart will go [...]
Reading your Bible?
Thursday, May 15th, 2008The question of the day is when did you last open your Bible to hear from your heavenly Father? Sadly recent statistics show that most people professing to have faith in Jesus Christ do not have a regular time of reading God’s word and the vast majority has never completely read their Bible. Many people [...]
Mother’s Day in Old Sacramento
Sunday, May 11th, 2008Mother’s Day was simply a wonderful day of exploring the streets of old Sacramento in California’s capital city.  This is the heart of Sacramento’s Gold Rush past! It’s amazing to see this corner of an urban city, still paved with cobblestone roads and wooden storefronts. We saw about a half a dozen different stagecoaches being [...]
