SERMON TEXT: MARK 6:7-14 ESV

7 And he called the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits. 8 He charged them to take nothing for their journey except a staff -- no bread, no bag, no money in their belts -- 9 but to wear sandals and not put on two tunics. 10 And he said to them, "Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you depart from there. 11 And if any place will not receive you and they will not listen to you, when you leave, shake off the dust that is on your feet as a testimony against them." 12 So they went out and proclaimed that people should repent. 13 And they cast out many demons and anointed with oil many who were sick and healed them. The Death of John the Baptist 14 King Herod heard of it, for Jesus' name had become known. Some said, "John the Baptist has been raised from the dead. That is why these miraculous powers are at work in him."

FISHER PRICE CREATES NEW iPHONE APP FOR KIDS

I've been a die-hard Blackberry user for five years and four generations, and I'd be very hard-pressed to promote anything for the Darkside, ahem iPhones. But considering I have many friends on the Darkside, especially those with family and kids, I wanted to share these cool new apps from Fisher Price. It's definitely something I would download had I made the mistake, excuse me I mean decision, of owning an iPhone.

Fisher Price has launched three new apps for iPhones aimed at children ages 2-5. I'm fairly certain they are not under the impression that this age demographic is a big user of the iPhone; more likely these apps are aimed at the parents of those kids. A great way to keep the little ones busy and learning, there's See'n Say, the one where your kid spins an arrow to identify animals; Little People Farm, with the three games and two songs; and Chatter Telephone, a virtual version of the old Fisher Price telephone toy, perfect to train any future Blackberry-user

Fisher Price is also launching a new Facebook app for social networking parents called "Moments to Share," which will let parents record photos, video, dates, captions and stories to records their kids' milestones and memorable moments.

3rd times a charm!

SEAWEED SOUP (mee-ook gook)

MeeOok Gook, more MeeOok Gook, and then some more MeeOok Gook. This is the ultimate, superlative reward for undergoing pains incomprehensible to even the world's strongest man (Zydrunas Savickas of Lithuania). Hours and hours of pain upon pain turns into an endless bowl of meeook gook.

This is all the OH household will be eating for a while.

Grace was yet again extraordinary in delivering our second child...Grant TaeMin Oh. What seemed like the most casual labor and delivery, ended in the birth of our 7 lbs 5.5 oz and 19 3/4" tall bundle of baby joy.

Watching the birth of your child is probably the most amazing phenomenon any man can have the privilege of witnessing (makes you wonder what God feels like). The nine month process of development and growth culminating into an instant of absolute perfection. I have been blessed with the luxury of that pleasure twice now, and I must say it doesn't get old. I thank God with every fiber of my being.

While I sit there staring, wondering who he looks like, hoping he doesn't have my eyes (the ones that are too close together) or my dad's monstrous forehead, I catch Grant in a peaceful slumber that can bring you to your knees. How can such an innocent little thing be born a sinner? But then again...I retract that statement. I forgot about the crying, fidgeting, pooping, whining, fussing, kicking, screaming, and loss of sleep at night moments. Nevertheless, they are absolutely unspoiled, flawless, and out right pure.

Grace and I are unbelievably grateful for Grant in our lives. The fact that he is perfectly healthy thus far (especially the kidneys) is simply icing on the cake. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.

Roman is getting along with his brother just fine. He has his moments, but how can you get mad at the little guy when he does stuff like this. As a new family of four, I'm sure the road ahead of us in nothing but bumpy, but we will be grateful for every obstacle He challenges us with.

Thank you all for you support and God Bless.

SERMON TEXT: MARK 5:21-43 ESV

21 And when Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered about him, and he was beside the sea. 22 Then came one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, and seeing him, he fell at his feet and implored him earnestly, saying, "My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be made well and live." 24 And he went with him. And a crowd followed him and thronged about him. 25 And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, 26 and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse. 27 She had heard the reports about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment. 28 For she said, "If I touch even his garments, I will be made well." 29 And immediately the flow of blood dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. 30 And Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone out from him, immediately turned about in the crowd and said, "Who touched my garments?" 31 And his disciples said to him, "You see the crowd pressing around you, and yet you say, 'Who touched me?'" 32 And he looked around to see who had done it. 33 But the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling and fell down before him and told him the whole truth. 34 And he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease." 35 While he was still speaking, there came from the ruler's house some who said, "Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?" 36 But overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not fear, only believe." 37 And he allowed no one to follow him except Peter and James and John the brother of James. 38 They came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and Jesus saw a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. 39 And when he had entered, he said to them, "Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but sleeping." 40 And they laughed at him. But he put them all outside and took the child's father and mother and those who were with him and went in where the child was. 41 taking her by the hand he said to her, "Talitha cumi," which means, "Little girl, I say to you, arise." 42 And immediately the girl got up and began walking (for she was twelve years of age), and they were immediately overcome with amazement. 43 And he strictly charged them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat.
