While young Cassandra plays, Geo. and Dr. Bui demonstrate the biology of natural selection.
Natural selection is a process by which individual organisms with favorable traits are more likely to survive than those with unfavorable traits. Indeed...
...so long as Geo & Dr. Bui secure a steady supply of food their Jubilee Vietnam kinship group should survive. Here, their edible plants and animals included flank steak, chicken, and all manner of rice and noodles.
Modern biology is fun!

Wildlife missionary
I am saddened by the death of Steve Irwin, the Croc Hunter.
I looked upon Irwin as a wildlife missionary, spreading the
gospel of love for animals.
Steve loved life, loved animals, loved and married an American,
boy I loved that guy!
But the ocean can be a dangerous place. As soon as you set foot in
the water, you enter the food chain. Steve knew the risks and
he played the odds with intelligence --but died nevertheless. Irwin
left us a legacy as a real wildlife evangelist.
Knowing what our pop-culture tries to pass off as role models
nowadays: "Survivor" rejects and "Paris Hilton", I'd be pleased
if my nieces and nephews took their inspiration from the
likes of Steve Irwin.
And Terri, well her soulmate is gone and she's still so young...
Godspeed, Steve....

Virginia's surprise birthday party at Jubilee Vietnamese
A week and a half ago, we had a surprise birthday party for Virginia following the Jubilee Vietnamese service.
In this picture, while Lisa Rich helps cut the cake, Pas. Nguyen Bui explains that it is not impolite in Vietnamese culture to ask someone their age.
However, Pas. Bui was unsuccessful in getting Virginia's cooperation.
Nice try Pastor!
