God has given us the gift of Jethro Naito Yardley! Beth and Jethro are healthy and doing well. He is 7lb 8oz and 19in. long! We're tired, but overcome with joy. Above are some pictures (the blood on my shirt is from cutting the cord). Below is the full explanation of this little man's name!
Jethro is named after Moses' father-in-law (Exodus 3:1), which literally means "his excellence" in Hebrew. Beth and I wanted a Biblical name for our son, but not a common one.
Moses' father-in-law was a spiritual man, being the priest of Midian, who became a worshiper of the one true God (YWH) after seeing God rescue Israel from Egypt - "Jethro said, 'Blessed be the LORD, who has delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of Pharaoh and has delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians. Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods, because in this affair they dealt arrogantly with the people.' And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, brought a burnt offering and sacrifices to God; and Aaron came with all the elders of Israel to eat bread with Moses' father-in-law before God." (Exodus 18:10-12, ESV).
Jethro was also a wise man who counseled and advised Moses himself on how best to shepherd the people of Israel (Exodus 18:13-27, ESV). And if the author of the Torah and God's chosen vessel to lead His people, Moses, "listened to the voice of his father-in-law and did all that he had said" it seemed good to us also to bestow such a name upon our own son, who we hope will also be a wise spiritual leader in Christ's Kingdom.
Moses takes his leave of Jethro by Jan Victors, c. 1635, from the incident in Exodus 4:18. Jethro is seated on the left, in red.
Jethro's middle name is a Japanese family name pronounced "nigh-to" after Naitō Yukiyasu, a Japanese samurai from the 16th-17th Century who was baptized as a Christian in 1564. However, he returned to Japan in 1604 under the rule of Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu who outlawed Christianity. He was proud about his faith in Christ, even modifying his armor to incorporate the cross (pictured below), and was thus persecuted for his faith being exiled to Manila in 1614AD.
The two kanji (above) literally translate as ‘inner wisteria’; a name taken by two branches of the northern Fujiwara clan. One is descended from the famous warrior Hidesato (10th century), the other from Michinaga (966–1027), the statesman who took his family to its greatest heights of power, and on whom the main character of the classic novel Genji monogatari (‘The tale of Genji’) is based. The hirigana spelling would be うちふじ.
God has given us a love for the Japanese people, who desperately need to be reached with the Gospel of Christ. Beth and I wanted to reinforce God's calling (for all Christians) to His mission to reach all peoples with the message of His love on the cross.
It's hard to summarize all God did in my life and the life of those we interacted in a concise manner, let alone give a snapshot (I took over 1,000 pictures). Here is a quick photo book providing a taste of all we did in July.
We planted a lot of Gospels seeds in Ube and watered a lot of seeds in Ishinomaki. Our pray was that God would use our time and our labor, and we feel that He has honored that. Here is one testimony from a missionary in Ube that touched my heart:
"Praise the Lord for Chuck, Brian, and Brett's visit and time they had encouraging deeper discussions with the people they interacted with in Japan. Since, some of my students have opened up a little more to casually asking about the Bible. "
Reconciled by Christ, Brett & Beth recount their tales of service to God through their gifts of ministry & medicine with Jethro & Edessa in tow.
Growing up as a little half-Filipino boy, it felt simple and easy to practice all day long on my game. I would be in the gym for hours at a time.
Practicing my handles. Shooting jumpers. Playing pick up ball. Running drills. In between these stretches of time spent in the gym only a few other, non-urgent activities consumed my life.
Getting home to have dinner because that was my Pa's rule. And going to school at 7 A.M. Oh, and mowing the lawn and taking the trash out were also on my list.
Looking back, I now realize that because I had such little other responsibility, being in the gym and working my basketball skills was relatively simple for one reason.
My willpower - or my capacity to make decisions - was being leveraged into what I deemed at the time, the most important thing in my life. Spending a good source of my energy each day in the basketball gym was really my only "big-decision."
But fast-forward over decade, and that half-Filipino boy just noticed a few gray hairs in his crop. I've learned that our willpower is not unlimited.
As we age, responsibilities pile up. We simply can't spend all day at the YMCA and suck on capri-sun's between games of half-court lightning.
Deadlines are real now. It's not like your Ma asking you to be home by 11 P.M., and if you walk in at 12:17 A.M., she greets you with, "Oh, honey, I was so worried about you. Your meatloaf is in the microwave."
You have little Ezmae that needs to get to soccer practice at 4 P.M., and Jax has judo at 5:30 P.M., and then you have to consider what you'll prepare for dinner AFTER you get home from CrossFit at 8:44 P.M.
You have to remember to park on the opposite street so you don't get a $91 ticket on your windshield for a street-sweeping violation.
And then we have breakfast. Do I eat or do this thing called intermittent fasting? Oatmeal or bagel? Juice or water? How much coffee? Will this three egg omelette make me fat?
The point is that as we age, more decisions come into our life. Understanding why this is important - rather then resisting it - is where the value resides.
Roy Baumeister ran a study on 205 adults. These subjects were strapped with beepers, and when these beepers were sounded, the subjects were asked to take a moment to reflect on what desires he or she was currently wrestling with in the last 30 minutes.
The most common desires that the subjects reported were eating, sleeping and sex. The list was also rounded out with taking a break from hard work, checking e-mail, and social media, surging the web or watching television.
Not only does life pile on more decisions by default as we age, but it's also designed to bombard you with tempting distractions that cause you to grapple with another decision: "Do I indulge or not?"
Your response might assume a posture of individualism. You might pull your bootstraps up and tell yourself, "I got this. I can do it all on my own."
The confidence is something like a college football player before running out of the tunnel before the Rose Bowl.
Look, I respect the bravado. But research shows otherwise. Here's the truth about willpower: You (and me) have a finite amount that becomes depleted as we use it.
If you don't design your environment in a way where you are making the least amount of trivial decisions, you're likely to deplete your willpower reservoir each day on things that don't matter.
And then, when it comes time to make a decision that carries weight - like hitting the gym, engaging in deep work, meal prepping, or sharpening your skills in your craft - you can't because your pool of willpower has been drained.
I'm just like you. I deal with this same issue. So, a few years ago, I began compiling this little playbook of rituals and habits that save me time, energy and effort.
My process is always a work in progress, but I've found that the key to minimize the amount of willpower necessary to transition into and from task to task is via rituals and habits.
By adopting a system that allows me to go on autopilot with decisions, I reserve my willpower for substantive tasks.
Imagine a geisha pouring tea into a cup up to the brim, and then she keeps pouring. If your life feels like that cup of tea - overflowed with decisions - then it's time to cut down on decision making. It's time to adopt some practices that unload that cognitive demand.
I've got more on my plate now then to spend all day in a basketball gym. And I'm sure you're a busy person too.
This list of strategies are my own. The point is to let you have a glance at what works for me, but more importantly to nudge you into doing the same for yourself. Feel free to use any of them you see fit for your own daily routine.
My simple method for this is a calendar on our refrigerator. Each month, my wife lays out the dates and marks the days when the trash needs to go out and when the car needs to be moved. This works well because I see the reminders every day, multiple times a day because the whiteboard is on the refrigerator.
The reason why we started doing this is because we got tired of having trash pile up when we missed a week. And, paying a street-sweeping ticket makes you want punch a hole in the wall like the Nard dog did in The Office.
The white board automates the decision by reminding us without having to think about when to do each of the tasks.
Three to four hours a day, five days a week, of uninterrupted and carefully directed concentration, it turns out, can produce a lot of valuable output.
This is coming from a man who has published four books, earned a PhD, cranks out peer-reviewed academic papers and is a tenured-track professor at Georgetown University. He also has a wife and a few kids. He doesn't work past past five or six P.M., and has time to "listen to a Nationals game slowly unfold on the radio" as he puts it.
This guy doesn't have more time than either of us - he has the same 168 hours per week. So how does he do it?
Well, because it does. If he didn't use the block method, he could never engage in carefully directed, concentrated work. This would do three things:
3. His work days would extend due to lack of potency and he would have less time to spend with his family and for personal interest, like listening to the Nationals on the radio.
The cost of distraction transcends lack of productivity. It dilutes the depth of our work. It slows down our production. And it eats away at the margins of our life - those pockets of time where you spend time with your wife or in the garage restoring that 63 impala or playing guitar or going to the gym.
When you commit to the block method, you can compress your work schedule into less time without sacrificing quality or output. Research shows that we have about three to five hours of actual work in us each day. After that, things start to dip.
6 P.M. until bedtime: I leave it open. It's usually having dinner with Charlie. Sometimes we'll go for a walk. Sometimes we'll Netflix. Sometimes we'll just sit and talk.
I'm a writer. Consequentially writing is my most important thing. Writer's need to read and research so that's a close second. I also coach people with their fitness, nutrition and wellness, so it's my personal belief that I've got to walk the talk. So training is up on my priority list as well.
These three things are my MIT's (most important things) as Leo Babauta, author of The Power of Less would say. And I've arranged my days to reflect that. The block method allows me to devote my non-renewable asset - time - to the three most important things I need to get done every day.
Find a way to use the block method in your day. Here's a short bullet point list on how to do that if you wish to.
Find uninterrupted times in your day where you can devote concentrated work to. It doesn't have to be the full three to five. In fact, it's smart to start with 90 minutes blocks. Then, as you get accustomed to working this way, add more time.
Identify your MIT's (most important things). What are the three to five most important things that must get done each day. When you find those, everything else can wait.
Use triggers to get you into the state. For me, during my morning writing sessions, my trigger right now is when I take 10g of BCAA's (branch chain amino acids) infused with green tea extract. This immediately puts me into focus mode and off I go. The trigger heaves me into the action without having to think about it.
Martin Seligman of the University of Pennsylvania organized interviews with over 350,000 thousand people over two decades to find out how they thought most of the time. His research is summarized in his book Learned Optimism.
He found that the predominant quality of people who were happy and successful was optimism - hopefulness and confidence about the future or the successful outcome of something.
I've wrestled with the softness of positive thinking and optimism myself. A lot of the advice sounds like it's coming from a world where only unicorns exist. However, I've found a principle - supported by a method that's helped me become more optimistic and think like a winner on a more consistent basis.
The principle of completion satiates a deep rooted desire we as come hard wired with: We need something to complete each day. Without completion on a daily basis, the hope about a successful outcome dissaptes.
The landscape of modern work has thrown a wrench into what completion looks like for us today. Back when everyone was a craftsman - woodworker, blacksmith, saddlers, locksmith, shoemakers, bakers - completion was simple to achieve (not to be mistaken with easy).
It was somewhat linear to conquer your day's work. Make a pair of shoes. Bake two dozen baguettes from scratch. Build a table.
Today, there are a lot more of us like lost children walking around K-Mart looking for their mother. The lack of definite completion due to the rise of mindless meetings, administrative duties that lead to nowhere, power point messages that make you want to rip your eyeballs out, vague imperatives, and overload of distraction has caused us to become less optimistic because it's not clear as to what we've made for the day - it feels like we've just shuffled papers around and exchanged a few letters digitally.
In order to relieve this frustration, find something to finish each day. Identity a measurable outcome that you can chalk off as "complete."
For me, it's writing for about two hours a day. Regardless if I think it's good or not, I stay put in the chair and pound the keys for two hours. When I do this, it gives me a sense of completion. I've done the work.
It's simple. At the end of the day, I write down the five things that must get done the next day. Then, I write down the three things that I did well for the day. Lastly, I write one thing that I'm grateful for.
Again, for me, writing at least two hours a day is my measure of completion. It's a simple mark that I can shoot for everyday. The 5/3/1 exercise helps me stay on track to do this consistently. And when I complete something every day, I become more optimistic.
These three strategies have worked for me. They have provided a simple framework on how to manage my daily decision making.
And thus, it reserves mental and physical energy for me to be my best where my best is needed. I think you can take these strategies and make them your own to do the same.

HERE WE ARE, another Halloween, another list of recommendations for your holiday viewing pleasure. Included are both classics, and a few that you may have missed. There are probably even a couple that you've intentionally passed over at the video store due to lame covers or bad box descriptions. You may not like all of my recommendations, but with any luck you'll find at least one that sends shivers down your spine. After all, 'tis the season. Boo!
Jack Russell (George C. Scott) is a pianist who loses his family in a car accident. Putting the tragedy behind him, Russell moves to Seattle where he takes a teaching position and rents a rambling mansion from the local historical society. No sooner does Russell move into the house than a ghostly presence makes itself known. Doors open by themselves, a loud banging wakes Russell every morning, and a ghost appears in the bathtub (scarier than it sounds). After finding a hidden room in the attic, and an especially productive séance, Russell is slowly drawn into an elaborate murder mystery.
Haunted house films don't get much more classic than this. The house is brooding and dilapidated; the protagonist is anguished and slightly Byronic: the set up is perfect for a dark and stormy night. The Changeling is perhaps best known for its terrifying wheelchair scene, a scene that's engrained in many people's nightmares. This film is for those who prefer supernatural horrors to those more corporeal. It is one part The Haunting (1942) and one part Chinatown (1973).
Creepshow is an anthology of five, star-studded, comic book-style horror stories. "Father's Day," starring Ed Harris, is a zombie revenge story set at a remote manor. "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verill," with tour de force acting by Stephen King, is about a man who turns into a plant. "Something To Tide You Over," starring Leslie Nielson, is another revenge story featuring a zombie Ted Danson returning from his watery grave. "The Crate," with Hal Holbrook, is about a mysterious crate found in the basement of an old university building. And finally, "They'll Creep Up On You," about a rich curmudgeon, E.G. Marshall, who thinks he's living in a bug proof apartment--he's not. The most fun you'll ever have being scared!
Creepshow takes its cue from the E.C. comics of the fifties. Fans of the tv series Tales From the Crypt take note, Creepshow is a comic book come to life. This isn't a dark and muddy horror film, but rather a bright spectacle that's just as fun as it is scary. George A. Romero directs five whiz-bang stories written by Stephen King; you're bound to like at least one of them. If you don't, there's always Creepshow 2, and the forthcoming Creepshow 3.
Serbian-born Irena Dubrovna (Simone Simon) is almost the perfect wife for New York architect Ollie Reed. She's beautiful, intelligent, and successful--but she shies from intimacy, and refuses to consummate the marriage. Irena believes in the myths of the old country; that she is of a cursed lineage. She believes that when her passions are aroused, she will turn into a panther, and tear her lover to bits. The marriage starts to crumble, and not even a psychiatrist can help. When Reed turns to another woman for comfort, Irena gets jealous. But is what lurks in the shadows a jealous wife, or a deadly feline?
With a miniscule budget, RKO horror producer Val Lewton and director Jacques Tourneur were forced to find a way to make the most of their limited resources. And so they developed their trademark style: heavy shadows, unrelenting atmosphere and off-camera scares. "What you don't see is often scarier than what appears on the screen," became the working mantra of this much-imitated pioneering duo. The formula worked, and Cat People was a smash hit when it was released in 1942. Avoid the 1982 remake with Nastassja Kinski. It's a stinker than a neglected litter box.
Charley Brewster is pretty sure that Jerry Dandridge (Chris Sarandon), his new neighbor, is a vampire. But no one will believe him. His mother, girlfriend, and best bud think he's seen far too many horror films. In order to help Charley work through his delusion, his friends enlist the help of Peter Vincent (Roddy McDowall), a washed-up horror actor cum late night television host. While performing a mock vampire test, Vincent makes an accidental discovery--Dandridge casts no reflection in a mirror. Perhaps Charley's not so delusional after all.
Fright Night is a typical 80s vampire flick, albeit a very good one. It's got a scene set in an 80s dance club, a misfit that wears a jean jacket, a pre-Married...With Children Amanda Bearse, and a monster bat by visual effects wizard Randall William Cook. If the monster bat looks familiar, it's because Cook also designed the Terror Dogs in Ghostbusters, and the Minions in everyone's favorite film about the dangers of heavy metal music, The Gate. Fright Night features a great cast, who are in on the fun, including Roddy McDowall as the reluctant vampire hunter.
Kim (Patricia Clarkson), George (Jake Weber), and their young son Miles (Erik Per Sullivan) have rented a cottage for a short vacation in the snowy wilderness. As they're driving along the dark road to the cottage, they accidentally hit a deer; a deer marked for the kill by local good ol' boy, Otis. The hunter's smug resentment soon turns to harassment that includes pot shots at the family with a rifle. Inspired by his childhood fears, Miles's nightmares begin to take shape; the line between reality and fantasy begins to break down as often does when tragedy strikes.
Admittedly, Wendigo is a flawed film. If you're expecting a monster movie, you're sure to be disappointed. But that doesn't account for the overly ambiguous ending. While the film starts out brilliantly, the end will leave you wondering which part of the puzzle you missed. One almost gets the impression that the filmmakers ran out of both time and money. I personally like this film for its poetry: how a child interprets the complex nature of adult relationships. Wendigo is worth seeing, if only for its strongly realized sense of a cold and ambivalent world. Fessenden is definitely a competent director, and one you should keep your eye on.
A prominent American scientist, Dr. John Holden (Dana Andrews), travels to England for a symposium on parapsychology. When Holden arrives, he learns that Dr. Harrington, a colleague who was exposing a devil cult, has died in a mysterious auto accident. Julian Karswell (Niall McGinnis), the head of the devil cult, claims to have conjured the demon that killed Harrington. Holden is skeptical, so when he vows to continue the exposé, Karswell places the same curse on him. Is each successive uncanny occurrence merely mounting coincidence, or will Holden be forced to believe in the power of the supernatural--at the hands of an angry demon?
Another film by famed director Jacques Tourneur. Based on the M.R. James story, "Casting the Runes," Night of the Demon, known as Curse of the Demon in its truncated US form, is considered one of the finest supernatural films of all time. The opening scene shows Dr. Harrington driving frantically down a lonely country road, nervously scanning the dark skies, and thus sets the thrilling tone of this excellent film. But is Night of the Demon a flawed masterpiece? Some people believe the film would have been even more effective had the demon not been shown. Others believe it's a necessary reveal in order to convey threat, no matter how cheesy the demon looks. What do you think?
Miss Giddens (Deborah Kerr) is the new governess at Bly House, an isolated English manor tenanted by two well-mannered orphans, Miles and Flora. For Miss Giddens, it's a dream come true, that is, until she starts seeing mysterious figures lurking at the top of the tower and across the lake. It isn't long before Miss Giddens learns of the tragedy that befell the former governess, Miss Jessel, and her lover, Peter Quint. And when the children start taking on sinister characteristics, Miss Giddens begins to wonder whether Jessel and Quint are completely dead.
If this story sounds familiar, it's because it's based on Henry James's famous novella, The Turn of the Screw, which also inspired Alejandro Amenábar's The Others. The Innocents was co-scripted by Truman Capote and is rife with sexual undercurrents, readymade for the psychoanalysts. And like James's novel, the ending is ambiguous: Is Miss Giddens going mad, or is the sinister force something external? This film is perfect for those who like their horror a little less bloody, and a little more literary.
Brigitte Fitzgerald has problems. Not only is she slowly turning into a werewolf, but one is also stalking her. Until she can find a cure, the only thing keeping her from full transformation are frequent injections of wolfsbane. After an overdose, she wakes up to find herself incarcerated in a drug treatment center for girls--and without her medication. The center is also home to Ghost, an eccentric girl whose grandmother is being treated for severe burns. With the werewolf getting closer, and Brigitte's transformation imminent, it's not long before the two girls will have to share their dark secrets.
You've already seen Ginger Snaps, right? If not, you're missing out on a top-notch werewolf flick. In either case, part two is a sequel that's worthy of your attention. Where the first film brilliantly equates lycanthropy with puberty, the second film uses drug addiction as its metaphor. The result is an extremely savage film, with a sense of humor even blacker than in the first installment. The make-up effects are notably repulsive, though wholly appropriate. As for the third entry, Ginger Snaps Back, let's just say you're better off re-watching Dog Soldiers or An American Werewolf In London.
After the tragic drowning of their daughter, architect John Baxter and his wife Laura (Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie) relocate to Venice to restore a historic church. During lunch at one of Venice's sunny café's, Laura meets two batty old sisters: one of which is a blind psychic who claims she can see the Baxters' daughter. Laura accepts the sisters' guidance, and becomes concerned for her husband's safety when they advise him to leave the city. But John is sceptical, even when he starts having his own visions of their dead daughter along the dark canals of Venice.
Venice, the true star of this 1973 film, is a beautifully photographed city of churches, bridges, and canals. While there's only one scene that's outright terrifying--one that your mind will scurry to comprehend--the haunted atmosphere of the film builds unstoppably, making Don't Look Now a unique horror experience. It may not be surprising that this film has more of a following in Europe than in America. And while Don't Look Now certainly is not for everyone, if you're looking for a dreamy and surreal horror film that you can spend hours discussing with your friends, this might be the one for you.
On the Harrington family's annual Christmas drive to grandma's house, Mr. Harrington (Ray Wise) decides to take the scenic back route. After hours of driving down a woodland road with no turnoffs, the Harringtons think they might be lost, and begin to grate each other's nerves as only family can. When they pick up a dazed lady in white and her oddly silent baby, things begin to get weird. Especially when they see signs for Marcott, a town that isn't on any map. And when family members start to disappear, the situation becomes positively desperate.
Dead End is an entertaining and unsettling black comedy with a simple premise that is reminiscent of the best episodes of The Twilight Zone. The amusing dialogue between family members will remind you of your own family car trips at their worst. While the entire film takes place in a car and on a forest road, Andrea and Canepa's clever direction keeps each scene fresh. Combined with an excellent cast, including truly stellar performances by Ray Wise and Lin Shaye, this is one of the best films you've never heard of, but need to see.

OTTAWA — A left-leaning think tank is raising new questions about the possibility of political interference in audits of charities.
The Broadbent Institute says a review of financial records from 10 right-leaning organizations show none of them report carrying out any political activities despite public statements which could be interpreted otherwise.
Yet those groups seem to be escaping the scrutiny of Canada Revenue Agency audits into the political activity of charities even as a host of left-leaning groups are under the microscope, the institute says in a report being released Tuesday.
Though the CRA denies a group’s place on the political spectrum is what triggers an audit, the Broadbent Institute report says the only way to know for certain is to have an impartial inquiry into their work.
“This report, I think, adds to a growing amount of evidence that that CRA may be less interested in compliance with the law than it is in politically-motivated retribution against the Harper government’s critics,” said Rick Smith, the executive director of the Broadbent Institute, an organization founded by former NDP Leader Ed Broadbent.
The CRA is currently conducting audits into whether registered charities are breaking a rule which prohibits them from spending more than 10 per cent of their money on political activities or are engaging in partisan work.
The audits began in 2012 with a special $13.4-million-dollar program around the same time as Conservative ministers were attacking environmental charities as being terrorists.
Since then, nearly four dozen have been called for review, many of whom have been critical of the Conservative government on issues ranging from environmental concerns to poverty issues.
The apparent targeting of Conservative critics has triggered cries of political interference in the process, but both the agency and National Revenue Minister Kerry-Lynne Findlay have denied that’s happening.
The 10 right-leaning groups analysed by the Broadbent Institute have reported spending no money at all in the last three years on political activities.
That’s despite many of the groups releasing statements or reports critical of government policy, which is similar to what left-wing groups appear to have been targeted for doing.
Some of the left-wing groups have also reported spending nothing on political activities, while others have admitted to allocating small portions of their budgets.
“At the very least what’s going on here is that different charities have very different interpretations of what CRA means by political activity,” Smith said.
It’s unknown whether most of the agencies reviewed by the Broadbent Institute’s analysis could in fact be under audit are in fact being audited as that information is not publicly available.
