Video Transfer

Well Shana has not created a post for a few months, and I started thinking that I should post something. After all it is AdamandShana.com so here goes my first try at it.
We have 4 old 8mm camcorder tapes that I wanted to get transferred over to my computer. The first one that I transferred over was our wedding video I got the 2 hour long video transferred to my computer with no problems. Then I also transferred the second video with no problems. Then got to the third video, I put the tape in and started the transfer, then the video camera (the one I was using to transfer the tapes) died! You think I would have been expecting it because I did buy the video camera on ebay and they left a tape that had a  home video of a lady giving birth in the camera. NO JOKE the entire birth. Anyways the eject function is electric, so I had to take the entire video camera apart to get my tape back out. The tape only suffered minor damage.

Ok, so Uncle Adam and I must not get it. I mean-it must be over our head, right? For months we’ve been listening to our nieces and nephews AND others quoting this movie and making it sound like it was something one had to see and experience to be able to understand life itself.

Well, we finally caved. We watched it and knew at the point when he commented about his lips hurting so bad that it was just a weird movie. What is the mystery surrounding this movie? Another thing everyone always says is you appreciate it more each time you watch it. Well, what if you don’t think you can handle watching it again? Hmmmm…

This is a thought-provoking email Adam received from his cousin…

Gentlemen,
I am sending this email because this is a topic that I have studied and prayed about recently. This doesn’t have to go any further than this email, but I thought I should share.
Guys, as husbands/fathers, we are meant to be the head of our households. In Ephesians (5:22 – 6:4), Paul lays out the hierarchy of the believers household, placing us as the spiritual head or leader. In other words, as we go, so goes our home and families (spiritually speaking). This is evidenced by the saved philippian jailer who held Paul and Silas (acts 16:25 – 34). He was saved, and because of this, his family was too. Its almost like if we decided just to quit work, it would affect our whole family, not just us. Guys, if we decide to live our lives like hell, then we can expect our family life to mirror that. If however we take the path less traveled, our family will be better for it. Its our choice.
The word also tells us that when a man and a woman are married, the two become one flesh (mark 10:6 – 9). This means that your salvation guys also covers your wife. In the story of Job, satan attacked Job physically, took all he owned, and killed his children and servants. His wife survived because she was covered by Jobs faith, and his children lived on their own, so they were to work out their own salvation (philippians 2:9 – 13).
What I am getting at here guys is that the responsibility of our families spiritual life (which translates into all parts of life) lies squarely on our shoulders. I have been praying that I will have the strength to bare that cross with joy. I pray the same thing for you. So, what makes a real man? I think that its when our day comes to answer to the Lord, that we can say “as for me and my house, we have served you”. Gentlemen, I believe that is the greatest achievment that we can accomplish as men.

Afterthought: if you aren’t familiar with the above mentioned scripture, or if you are, I wish you would look at it for yourself and see what the word tells you. Don’t just take my word for it.
