February 22 More film for thought...I went to see the film Vantage Point today, and I really enjoyed it. I found it quite thought-provoking. The movie presented us with six limited-perspective views on one incredible, intense, and wide-impacting situation. It left the thoughtful viewer realizing how such real-life occurrences always have many different lives and views involved, of which we never become aware. I especially appreciated the way the film addressed the mass media. The movie opened and closed with the view point of the event as presented to the mass audience of the television news media--basically showing how little of the story they actually got. Feel free to see the Plugged In Online review for content details, but to sum it up, a few sudden uses of harsh profanity and intense, dramatic situations are the only major concerns. Also, you know how I love to compare new releases with classics (Flight Plan and The Lady Vanishes, for example). Check out the film Suddenly, another clever movie about an attempted presidential assignation, showcasing the heroes who risk their lives to stop the outrage, and the rogues (the ringleader smartly played by Frank Sinatra) who try to pull it off. February 18 2008 NBA All-StarsSunday may have been a bit of a disappointment [for me  ], but Saturday was a big excitement! My favourite NBA player of all time was back! The Admiral! I just wanted to  see him in uniform again, but was absolutely thrilled with the win.  I couldn't stop jumping up and down for at least 5 minutes.Also, here's some highlights of the Sprite Slam Dunk competition, if you missed it. Dwight Howard gave us some great laughs.  (But just so you know, besides Clark Kent, only Shaq may be called "Superman").
February 16 On a missionI think my favourite passage right now is Matthew 5:14-16. I feel like I'm on a mission, and this is it! "Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." (See entire chapter) This is something that I want to work hard on everyday. I don't want things I do or attitudes that I have to act as a bowl covering over my "light." So next time you see me doing something kinda stupid, go ahead and ask me "are trying to cover up your light?" Sometimes, I could use a little help.  January 21 Voting is over!Voting for the  2008 NBA All-Stars has now officially come to an end. Results will be announced January 24th, the same day that my two favourite teams are playing each other! (Spurs @ Heat, American Airlines Arena, 8 p.m. ET) Watch TNT that night and check out NBA.com to see if your picks made it!
 January 14 Nothing else matters..."Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of
the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the
loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, And
be found in Him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the
law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness
which is of God by faith:" Philippians 3:8, 9 KJV (See entire chapter) January 08 Thought for FilmOne more thing: Next time you think about going to the theatre to check out the latest box office smash, why not consider what kind of content you might be about to take in. Check out Plugged In Online. It will give you a thorough review, explaining what positive and negative elements are in the film, along with language, violence, and sexual content, without giving away the plot (the reviewers will always warn of any spoilers). So if you hate going to a movie, just to discover there's more stuff in there that you'd want to see (or hear), please check out this fantastic website first. It really pays off (like $7)!

My apologies to everyone. December 01 Trying to take this seriouslyI may not be Gilbert Arenas, but I've decided to try and take this blog thing a little bit more seriously. So here's what's happening right now. I've almost got all my application requirements finished for SCAD. I just got my two reference letters from two Lee professors while I've been visiting Cleveland, TN. So I should be heading off for Savannah in March. 'Til then, I'm going to continue working at Christian Life in Nassau, leading the Media Team there and doing their video editing. I intend to do my best at being faithful where God's planted me for the time being. That's all for now. You have a blog? My sisters, shocked, asked me, "You have a blog? You have to show us this!" November 09 Oh.Oh, it's a web log of entries displayed in chronological order. I guess that makes sense. What is a blog?What is a blog? Anyone know? I'd better look it up on Wikipedia. I'll get back to you. |
