- Single Issue Voting
I have become something I once reviled: a single-issue voter. I used to think that a wise voter tries to discern each candidate’s intentions on major issues, and then casts his vote based on an assessment of who will do the greatest overall good—or the least evil. I thought those voters who support a candidate [...]
- A World Without Love
While I was teaching my way through 1 John. We were in Chapter 4:11 which says, “Dear friends, since God so loved us, we ought to love one another.” I thought of people who accuse Christians of being hypocrites, meaning that they aren’t loving. Let me first say that the problem isn’t that many Christians [...]
- Review: City of Ember
Imagine a city buried deep underground, warmed by the pulse of a giant generator, lit by a web of lights hanging above the city. The city has lasted far longer than its creators ever intended. They created it to house the survivors of the human race for 200 years, hoping that would be enough time [...]
- Mack at “The Shack”
Perhaps you have heard of the wildly popular book called The Shack. People are going nuts over this book. If you haven’t read it, DON’T! The Shack is a well written piece of fiction. But at it’s heart, it is a book about the Trinity. Our main character, Mack, whom we immediately understand and empathize [...]

- Casting Crowns - October 17th
As you know, we are going to see Casting Crowns in Tallahassee on Friday, October 17th. Mark Hall, the lead singer of Casting Crowns, graduated from The Baptist College of Florida, the same little college in north Florida that Teresa and I graduated from. So I feel like I have a connection to Mark Hall. [...]

Here’s 5 things I want to be:
Productive - I want to be a person that gets stuff done. I want to be given tasks, create them myself and work hard. I want to create work for myself and work near capacity - I thrive on projects.

With DeNiro and Pacino I expected much better. But it was dry and predictable the whole way through. Better than 88 minutes, but not by a lot.

I hate horror movies, but this one surprised all of the critics and did great at the box office, so I had to see it. And despite the lame acting and predictable plot, it was creepy! I had to watch another movie after it to get to bed.

Acting was superb. Expect posthumous Oscar for Heath Ledger. Great action and twists. Can't wait for Christopher Nolan's next.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of...

The movie was okay. But Indiana Jones and aliens (sorry, interdimensional beings) just don't mix. They should have left well enough alone. Most of the movie was goofy and campy, especially the monkeys and groundhogs.

I had high expectations of this move going in, and it lived up to them. The acting was fabulous, especially by the supporting roles, Martin Landau, Tim Robbins, and Bill Murray. Read my full review here.
