The Atheist’s nightmare is….a bannana. Actually, this is a famous argument that shows how God created fruit for us to eat. 
I was reminded about these rudimentary principles last week by Wayne Cordeiro in his talk he gave at the Leadership Summit.
Wayne is a highly successful leader who one day went jogging and found himself sitting on a curb crying uncontrollably. He did
not recognize himself. He felt he was a dead leader running. What followed, was a big storm in his life that turned his life around. What follows are my notes from his talk.
We will teach what we know, but we will reproduce what we are. There must be a genuine integrity inside. It is vital for you to learn from the “storms” of your life.
One of the common “storm” in life of highly active and productive people in the modern world is burn out.

Marek’s invited me to blahhhg on his blog. I have no idea what to really write about, so I think I’ll make my entries called “This I Love…” which will be similar to the NPR series “This I Believe…“. Instead of writing about a personal belief (which Marek has cornered anyway…*wink*) I’ll write about stuff that impresses me or stuff I just enjoy. That said…
I love Wikipedia. I love the concept where everyone chips in with information to build up a fantastic encyclopedia. Yep, I know it’s not always accurrate or up to date. Still, it came in handy when my daughter, Gillie, had to research her second-grade project on crickets last week. As for being out of date, well I love the fact that I was able to update my own entry on Wikipedia (which someone else must have started, because it certainly was not me).
Get this — they even have the tall WITI TV tower by my house listed in Wikipedia. If it were not for that, I would not have known that it was briefly the tallest free-standing tower in the world.
Lastly, as I’ve become more diet- and nutrition-conscious, I appreciated how balanced their entry on milk is. There’s a section on the health “benefits” but then an even bigger section on the detriments and controversies. It’s not a huge article, but it’s pretty well-written and talks about how a good portion of the milk in the U.S. would be illegal to sell in Europe or Canada because of pus or rBGH content. An interesting fact I learned from the site is that skim milk is 0.1% fat but is allowed to be called “fat free” according to USDA guidelines. That’s all for now…

Fox News Shepard Smith:
This is a scene we are not accustomed to see during war times. They don’t allow us to see the victims — uh, heroes who died for us in Iraq. We don’t get to see their caskets come back. It’s a wonderful honor to be able to pay tribute to this man in this way. Wouldn’t it be nice if we were able to do this with the hundreds upon hundreds who have died for us in Iraq? - Fox News, covering yesterday’s flag-draped coffin procession for the Blue Angels pilot who died in a crash.

With most of the attention on the killer in the media, I would like us to focus on the victims. Here is a list of the victims of Virginia Tech killings.
One of the victims was Lauren McCain. Here is Lauren MySpace page. Another one was Ross Alameddine (MySapce) So sad.
Seeing their web pages and pictures reminds us that they were real people, people who need to be remembered and talked about much more than the killer.
Please continue to pray for the families of the victims.
You can read about how Think This // After Hours blog started on my original blog. Today I wrote a little about the history of this blog and the changes I made. My original blog assumed more professional focus of Search Informed Marketing. I renamed it today to “Think Search Engines //.” I promise that all work related topics will be discussed over there.
Thanks for visiting!
I am sick and tired to hear some much about the evil man who went on the shooting rage at Virginia Tech. Why is media all over showing his moronic video and pictures? They are giving him exactly what he wanted - a platform to spread his venom. His video does not show how is really was during when he did the shooting. This video on the news may actually serve as some sort of sick “excuse” of why he did that. I would not be even surprised to find some people out there who feel sorry for him, and “understand his pain.” This is sick and twisted.
Enough already!
Why not focus on the families whose lives where shattered by his evil act? Why not appeal to the public to show support for them?
Someone very important asked me yesterday “Why do you blog?” That is a great question. I have been toying with the idea of blogging for already a few years, yes … years. Finally in April of 2006 I started this blog as “The Big Sail Blog” where I documented the preparations and results of the sailing trip with Scott. Then, the trip was over and I wanted to just blog about anything, but I couldn’t because this was a sailing blog. So, finally in the beginning of February ‘07 I re-branded this blog to “Think This //” and opened it up.
I blog because it is fun. It makes me think. I forces me to put into writing what I am thinking. I teaches me to write better. It allows me to express myself. It aids me to share with my friends and family. It facilitates finding new friends and networking with new people.
Happy Eater! Today celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is the most important Christian holiday. Christ is Risen!
Happy Passover day 6! Our Jewish friends celebrate day 6 of the Passover. The time when God lead Israel out of Egypt.
