There's not much here, but I DO have a life, you know! (Even if that life is mostly in my head.) BTW, all my videos are hosted on YouTube, so don't be surprised when you click on a video link and a new page opens up.
Latest & Greatest
Masks - Human Video/ Sign Language skit about being yourself before God.
On the Existence of God - An old essay I wrote 12 years ago. I thought I was pretty clever back then! It includes an interesting argument on how the existence of evil indicates there is a God.
Skits & Drama
Boxes (video) - Youth group drama written by Stu Cocanougher, various music clips
Maybe - Youth group drama written by Stu Cocanougher that I tweaked. It's a "human video" about broken families only Christ can heal. Suggested soundtrack: "Your Love Has Lifted Me Higher and Higher" by Audio Adrenaline.
Holy Week Diorama - A "living picture" for your congregation. Based on Last Supper, Jesus' arrest, & Peter's denial, and the road to Calvary.
My aunt Rebecca and I made matching Halloween costumes for Kathren and myself based on the main character from Ranma 1/2. (He's a Japanese martial artist who wears Chinese clothes and turns into a girl when wet.) Kathren won first place in the costume contest at Braum's!
Rebecca and I entered some projects of ours into the Ringwood Watermelon Festival and the Major County Fair. Everything we entered placed!
Watermelon Rug - Made using a hexagon lap loom, this creative rug won first place in the rug category at both fairs.
Watermelon Pillow - Made using a larger hexagon lap loom and designed to match the rug, this won a first place at Ringwood and a second in Major County in the throw pillow category.
Fur Cloak - This cloak is crushed black velvet on the outside, black/white tiger stripe fur on the inside. Perfectly fabulous! We entered in the ladies coat category at the Major Country fair and won second place.
Ladies Cape - I'll put up a picture of this when I can. It's an ankle-length lavender satin-ish cloak trimmed with lace. It won second place in the ponchos and capes category.
Kyle at the St. Louis Arch - This photo won first place in the Photography/Portraits category at the Major County Fair.
Clay Anderson is a Internet Applications Programmer at Christianity Today International. We used to share an office. Here's his birthday blessing, which I loved so much I had to post it:
May your dogs always be lost,
Your ducks always be Donald,
And your code always error-free!
