Why am I here?
Why was I created?
What is my purpose?

Have you ever wondered why you are here. I've got the answer. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to "fear God and keep his commandments". Of course, this simple statement which I extracted from the book of Ecclesiastes will lead you to more questions, but at least I have pointed you in the right direction. In the Word of God (the Bible) you will find all of the answers you need. I'll warn you, though, that it will be a life long mission. Christ (Jesus) was a perfect example of one who feared God and kept his commandments. It should be your life long goal of becomming more like Christ. That is my goal and has been for some time. I have a long way to go.

I bought a digital movie camera today. It is the JVC GR-D33U. I got it from Wal-Mart. It was on sale at a price comparable to the lowest price I could find on the internet. So far the camera looks like a good buy, but I haven't used it much yet. I bought it to take pictures of my daughter who is to be born December 5th.

I just saw the movie, The Incredibles. I really enjoyed it. The animation was great. The story was nice. It had good themes. Many things could be thought of on several levels. The was a really wonderful short before the film that I enjoyed. It was called Boundin. It was about a beautiful sheep that is regularly shorn and a jackalope that helps him deal with it. Watching these things really makes me wish I was involved in the computer generated movie business. I took some classes in it a couple of years ago. If you are interested in giving that sort of thing a try, I would highly recommend the free software called Blender 3d. It is really quite good. I did a 3 minute short using it in about 2 weeks.
