Something to think about...

Hey all,

It's midday and the lil'uns are napping. Opa L is here and we're enjoying the delightful weather (remember the Montreal icestorm back in the 90s?).

A while back I heard about a small-time independant documentary called "Prince of Peace, God of War." John Campea (of the Movie Blog) made it in response to his own questions of the divided opinions of pacifism and justified war within Christian circles. I ordered the DVD.

As with all documentaries, it's made with a bias (pacifism, in this case), but that isn't a bad thing. Sometimes the bias could be right. Sometimes the bias can challenge the audience to look into the facts. Regardless, I found it to be an interesting flick and a good discussion starter.

Here's the good news about that: Campea has decided to make his movie freely available online. So, if you're interested in watching it you can do so for free and at your leisure here (you can read his synopsis, or just scroll down to the download links).

Whether or not you watch it, feel free to post some opinion in the comments about whether you think Christians should be pacifists, soldiers, whatever. I'll not tip my hand and reveal my own opinion quite yet ;)

I miss my little family...

Just a quick note while I'm at the Ski Rally. Fran is a brave mommy and is taking care of Finnan and Anna all by herself for the weekend. And, I miss them so much!

Well, here's the latest set of pictures. Click on the pic to see the whole album.

Finn & Anna too

Here's a video back from January 23rd when Finn first met his sister:




And here's another from the following day:




Alright folks... I've got stuff I should be doing.

And the answer is...

Well, I thought about recording a video and kinda jerking your chain for a while about whether we had a boy or a girl... well, I wont do that after all (mainly, because the microphone levels are a little off).

At 8:38 AM (AST) Anna was born... that's right, a little girl! 8lbs 12.5oz (around half a pound bigger than Finn was). Everything went great. It was oddly relaxed and mellow in comparison to when Finnan was born. Momma's doing just fine: no problems. Anna was latching properly at 1.5 hours old. Oh yeah... she's got brown hair ;)

But enough of my jibber jabber... you all just wanted to read the words "It's a girl," the name "Anna" and to see some pictures. So, without further ado:



Isn't she just beautiful!

Um... I have a daughter... that's cool!
