  • What does it mean to love someone no matter what?

    Our adult small groups are wrestling their way through the beatitudes. It’s an interesting study because so much of it hits me between the eyes. I’ll tell you one thing I struggle with as a pastor. I fight to not become self-righteous. Here’s what I mean. In my area of ministry expectations are a killer.…

  • You Kill Me: A Good Date movie

    Last night Kristen said the following words, “I got a movie.” Now, in our house this could be good or it could be bad. Lately it hasn’t been that great. (Shrek 3 last week, yuck!)  So when I looked at the cover of this movie, You Kill Me, and realized I had never heard of…

  • Hide and Seek by Megan McLane

    My daughter, 6 years old, made this video on her own. If you stick with it you’ll see the genius of it. (Daddy inserted some titles to help you; beginning and end and some sound effects.) She’s basically created a movie that you can interact and play along with. If you actually follow her instructions…

  • Forbidden Blizzard

    I don’t know if I’ve properly talked about my addiction to Mynameisbill.com. But it’s fascinating to see this filmmaker make his way around the globe and video blog his experiences. Today’s installment is unreal. To think of being able to get Starbucks and even DQ in the once forbidden city.

  • Ratatouille

    I just got back from taking Bradley, Paul, and Megan to see the new Disney/Pixar movie, Ratatouille. Film synopsis: Remy is a sophisticated rat with a high dollar palate. In other words, he doesn’t like to eat garbage like the rest of his family. His pursuit of quality food leads him into an adventure which…

  • Introducing Jesus

    This is one of those amazing clips of video that just shocks you with it’s profoundness. It’s based on answering the question, "If I had the chance to introduce Jesus Christ on his second coming, how would I do it?"  I’m not sure how I’d do it… but this is how comedian Steve Harvey would…

  • Amazing Grace

    Kristen and I saw the movie Friday night with friends. I liked it on a number of levels. First, I didn’t know anything about William Wilberforce. Not that the movie portrayed much more than a small portrait of his life, but I feel like I learned some things after going to the movie… how many…

  • at the Oscars..

    Last night Kristen and I watched every minute of the 79th Oscars. You know it’s a bad TV night when you watch a 4 hour award show. I actually can’t remember actually sitting through an entire one before, so it was a first. All winners Best moment: When Jaden Christopher Syre Smith and Abigail Breslin…

  • Little Miss Sunshine

Parental guidance……

  • Pursuit of Happyness Review

    Kristen and I went to go see the new Will Smith movie, The Pursuit of Happyness, on Friday night. For the record I think our streak of sad, dramatic movies continues. This has an uplifting ending, but so did Hotel Rwanda. I wrote of review of the movie for YMX. Below is an taste of…
