monster impressions
I was really stirred by the film Monster. Tania and I viewed it last night.

What must that be like? To experience the depths of mankinds darkness - life as prostitute. What would you do if that was all you knew? Where might you look for love, acceptance, and comfort? The same places I think.

I couldn't help but say of course! Why not! The story is not far fetched...how many more play out in similiar yet maybe more subtle ways?

How refreshing might have been the pure touch of God's grace through his Christ followers if only they were postured in these dark places where so few of us are willing to go...How God might have redeemed this lost sheep as Christians in Jesus name called this whore by a new name - the name the beloved that only God under his grace could call her...

The deeper the darkness the brighter the light. Where are we? Christ's ambassadors...?...bull shit. Too often hiding in comfortable places and ministries to easy people...Lord break me, break us for the sake of your name and your Love...

fresh home
back home fresh from travels and adventures in Spain with the family. What a whirlwind...!

I think we will be making Spain our home some day soon. Brushed up on my Espanol...chased the kids up and down the isles of the 777 and explored some cool reefs in the meditaranean...and much more...
not to mention the Cintroen C5 and 150 kilo's and hour! Wow - yes eveything was a blur...

well
well it's been a little while. But I still remember my password :)

yesterday was a huge hurdle. But it's now leaped and I didn't stumble too much over it. I had to teach a class and lead the main service, and speak. I went with 3 pictures (Luke 5:12-16, Mark 6:30-47, Mark 14:32-35) of Jesus in the chaos of life and what he did. I asked the question: Could it be that when life got crazy Jesus responded by "getting away to lonely places to pray"? It seem to go over well...although I would be curious to see what some think under their breath about my slippery generalizations...and avoidance of laying out clear unadulterated principles of biblical truth...anywayy...

Kaleb and I are moping around the house trying to cope with "the quiet" of mommy and sister's absence (there in spain, we'll join them wednesday). A cold hef never tasted quite as good. We went to see Skrek 2 last night - that was cool. Not the movie necessarily just hangin with my son. I love boy so much - it's fun to feel him cling to me when mom isn't around.

I continue making movies...I am addicted...secretly strategizing all hours of the night my ability to get more memory, a dvd burner, a projector, some sound stuff, and a really phat editing program. My ulead expires in 5 or 6 days so I settled with MS movie maker 2. Bummer!

Time will tell - am I playing out/on my consuming tendencies or really discovering my spiritual gift of video editing? Probably a mix of both...that's life as I see it...

someday...as I vowed before about digital images...I will post links to my digital films...no clue how to get something like that up and running...?
