Monday, August 4th, 2008But the most touching aspects of WALL-E were his heart and his incredible yearning to not be alone, even though he was. It reminds me of Genesis 2:18: “It is not good for man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”
Men’s Camp 2008 - Showdown with the Devil
Monday, May 5th, 2008
A good friend invited me and our oldest son to his men’s ministry campout. At first I was a little leery because I really don’t like intruding on someone else’s get-together and I also hate meeting new people. I don’t relate well at first and usually stay to myself.
But Julie encouraged me to go because [...]
I Love the Newsboys!
Wednesday, April 30th, 2008Missed opportunity #1: A few years ago Marc and I headed to Estes Park, Colorado for “Music in the Rockies” Marc had only been a Christian for a month or two. We took our then two-year-old son with us. Our mission: to see the Newsboys in concert. I had been a fan of them for [...]
Phantom from Space
Tuesday, April 29th, 2008It’s been a while since my last bad movie review on Zontar, the Thing from Venus, so I’m long overdue for wasting hours of time. This time we’ve got Phantom from Space, a nice little film from 1953, produced and directed by W. Lee Wilder, the brother of Billy Wilder but creator of such epics [...]
Movie: Ben Stein’s Expelled
Monday, April 21st, 2008Marc and I went to this movie on Friday night. If you haven’t heard about it, or seen it, it’s a must see. It makes you laugh. Makes you think. And gives the opportunity to see Richard Dawkins looking arrogant and shaken.
The Berenstain Bears and the Big Question
Friday, April 18th, 2008Before I get into this, you should know something. Our sons love the Berenstain Bears. They have about ten or so books, and we go to the library quite often to check more out, sometimes the same ones two or three times. When I was a young’un I remember reading Old Hat New Hat and [...]
Review: Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy
Friday, April 4th, 2008Last weekend, when the boys and I went to Super Target for a little shopping excursion to get flowers and spend my birthday money, I wanted to get a new videogame.
I don’t get the chance to play games much anymore, but when I do, I really get into it. So I couldn’t just get any [...]
Music Videos of Popular Songs Relating to Superhero Comic Book Characters
Tuesday, March 11th, 2008The other day I was piddling around on YouTube and pulled up some old music videos I hadn’t seen in a while. I had the song “Superman’s Song” by Crash Test Dummies in my head and found out there was a video made for it.
So I got to thinking of the various songs that relate [...]
The Ultimate Gift is the Ultimate Movie
Friday, February 29th, 2008Recently Marc and I saw the movie, The Ultimate Gift. It was a wonderful, wholesome family film. There were times I found it a bit predictable, but in a good way, and with a wonderful message. Still, it had some nice surprises along the way. The movie trailer describes it better then I could. Here [...]
You Can’t Always Get What You Want
Friday, February 22nd, 2008I had seen the movie, The Count of Monte Cristo (2002), a few years ago, but I had never read the book by Alexandre Dumas and always wanted to. So, fast forward to roughly a month ago and I had the opportunity to listen to the audio version downloaded from our local library. I listened [...]
