First -collab- collab. This is one of my favorite songs and I had been looking for some time for a voice that would suit the song and sound really nice with how my voice sounds. Stuff happened and I found Ian! (Thanks Olie and Sarah for the encouragement.)

Ian has a unique voice and plays guitar crazy well. Check him out and subscribe to him!

radio pulze

I'm going to be on my campus radio station coming Tuesday! Honestly I've never tuned it to it before, and when I tried last week, I couldn't either. But as an advice I got goes, it's just going to be a good experience!

Life

I just massacred 7 commander ants and a lot of other normal worker ants. And I don't feel good about it at all.

The ants were just doing what they have been doing since they were created! They were just finding food to feed their colony. Wouldn't it have been a better if food was kept or thrown away so that they wouldn't be attracted to it in the first place?

Now I'm beginning to see why many non-industrialist societies revere life. They kill animals only when in need and eat respectfully and in gratitude for the fact that animal lives have been sacrificed in order for them to physically and religiously benefit from it (which is also a great foundation for them to understand Jesus as the Ultimate Sacrifice!)

Same goes with the baby chili plants that my sis and mom planted for my sister's school project. Now that the teacher finds no use for the plants, there seems to be this oblivion to what the students will do about them. We all know that well - we had to do the same project when we were in primary school. And the most common reaction is to just let the plants die, or throw them away in the trash.

Have we forgot how sacred life is? These chili plants and ants have been entrusted to us by God so that we can care for them with discretion on how they benefit us. Plants don't express emotions like animals do, but God made them grow all the same. God is the one who makes our hearts beat, who gives food and energy to the animals, and makes sure seeds develop into strong plants.

It's discomforting and amazing at the same time for a city kid like me for God to open my eyes to see him in everything, including everything that has life. He prepared the earth, skies, and everything extra-terrestrial to be conducive so that he could create life to live in it, and ultimately people to obey his first command ever and take care of his creation. We're so honored to be given this sacred task of helping to manage the lives all around us!

So God created human beings in his image. In the image of God he created them. He created them male and female. God blessed them and said, "Have many children and grow in number. Fill the earth and be its master. Rule over the fish in the sea and over the birds in the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth." God said, "Look, I have given you all the plants that have grain for seeds and all the trees whose fruits have seeds in them. They will be food for you. I have given all the green plants as food for every wild animal, every bird of the air, and every small crawling animal." And it happened. God looked at everything he had made, and it was very good.

How the world began (Genesis 1)

cooler than me

here's my interpretation of mike posner's Cooler than Me after 14-some hours of making everything in the video. it was so challenging to come up with a entirely different interpretation...and it could only be God who gave the tunes!
