The Perfect DNA Storm

May 15, 2009 Print This Post

When people meet my children and see how ridiculously good looking and smart they are, they always respond with the same comment:

“They must get it from their mom. Har har har.”

Well, I hate to burst your bubble, but according to Time Magazine, the evidence points the other way around. Check out this chart my dad kindly passed onto me:

Finlandkorea
South Korea may take 2nd, but Finland takes 1st!

Sisu!

Statistically, I account for a good percentage of my kid’s smarts. Unfortunately, there’s no such evidence for their good looks.

Facebook comments:

Growing up in the Lansing area, I wanted nothing more than to get out. My exit strategy included a complex mixture of schemes for an urban church plant, iProducts, and an elaborate Bollywood car chase scene with zombies and catchy techno music.

As a 40 year old man, I find myself entrenched in the Lansing area at a church I love (Riverview), with 4 kids I love more (a high schooler, a junior higher, a middle schooler, and an elementary schooler), and a wife I love the most (Grace).

Instead of planting one church, I dream of helping hundreds get started without ever leaving my home base. I still love my iProducts and use them as tools to help lead and teach the thousands who attend Riverview. And when no one is looking, I blare the techno music and send my unimpressive resume to casting agents for Bollywood zombie films.
