Jon & Kate Plus 8

A friend of mine, Roland, shot me an e-mail about this show he watched on TV. It’s entitled “Jon & Kate Plus 8” on Discovery Health and TLC. You see, it’s a show about this couple and, get this, EIGHT (8) kids!! 😮

According my friend, the dad is half Korean (not that that should change anything about this couple’s daily challenging lives). Paul M., if you are reading this, that should make you look! 😀 They have 2 twins that are 6 years old and 6 sextuplets that are 2 years old! Wow. Their website is at Gosselin Sextuplets & Twins.  So these 8 kids are 1/4 Korean by blood but many of them have that distinct Korean genes in them.  I was rather shocked ’cause by the time it goes into 2nd generation, ethnic blood/genes don’t show very well.  They sure are adorable though.  🙂  Makes me wish we had more kids… but not that many!  LOL.  I have some friends that are of mixed racial marriages and it seems like a 50/50 ratio (more or less) how the genes carry through.

If you guys have some recordings of it, let me know. I’m curious to see their daily lives! The sheer madness is gotta be maddening! I sure hope they have more help!

STS-117 Lands Successfully!

STS-117 landingWell, after much delay due to poor weather at KSC, Atlantis and its crew landed safely at Edwards Air Force Base in California. This flight caught some attention due to OMS pod blanket damage and I’m just glad that everyone’s hard work paid off! 😀

Great great job!

Low point for CNN

Low CNN

So I decide to check on latest news and what do I see on CNN? Rather disturbing and heartless “Top Stories” listin. I circled it in red. That just is totally cold. Don’t they have a 3rd (or 4th or 5th) eye looking at the site and how that would look?!! 🙁 As a father, the last thing I want to see is another report of a child death and a link to the video of it. Shame on you , CNN! Shame, shame shame!

Stuff that makes God cry…

CNN news here

What makes me furious is that this has been going on for years and (poor) people have been complaining only to the police’s ignorance.  That is just too sad… may God give all those poor kids rest and peace for their afflicted souls… and peace to the families…

Jin, where the heck are you in these matters?!!    Jin Chung works at International Justice Mission so I hope something can be done to push for some actions to protect the poor and the children.
