I got this present the other day from my friend Cedrick.  He lives in Mulungwishi, DR Congo.  This dude is awesome!  He has a big passion for Information Technology, but an even bigger passion for God.

Here is a picture of me and Cedrick.

I just got through reading this book called Better Dads, Stronger Sons by Rick Johnson and all I can say is WOW!  I think every dad should read this book.  Here it is on Amazon.  Get it, read it and comment on it and let me know what you think, even If you have already read it.

Letter to the President

This was read to us in Church on Sunday and I thought I would share.  It is a letter to the President.

Dear Mr. President,

While it is true that you are accountable to us, the American people, we are not your ultimate source of accountability.

While it is true that you must answer to the Congress of the United States, one day, you will answer to someone far greater.

While you consult with leaders from around the world, our hope is that you won’t forget to consult with the Creator of the world.

As the great King Nebuchadnezzar was once reminded, “The Most High is sovereign over the kingdoms of the world and He gives them to anyone He wishes.”

So your leadership, like all leadership, is a stewardship. It is temporary. And you are accountable.

While browsing the wonderful Internet I found quite a few websites that are stating that our good friends at Microsoft used Apple computers to edit and publish their new ads that you are seeing on TV.  You know, the “I’m a PC” ads.  Here is a link to one article that I found.  Roughly Drafted.com

How cool is that?!?!  Microsoft using Apple computers to create ads against Apple Computers….hmmmmm.  Oh, and by the way, what was up with the Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates commercials?  What a waste of money and resources.  Looks like Jerry is laughing all the way to the bank.

Mr. Gates, I would be more than happy to be in your next commercial.  I won’t even charge the 10 million you paid Jerry.  I will do it for 1 million, or better yet, just pay off my house….what do ya say about that?  I’ll be patiently waiting for your prompt reply :)
