Movies

So the Wife and I decided to go to the theaters last Sunday and watch “V for Vendetta”. It’s the latest by the Wachowski Brothers – you know the makers of the Matrix trilogy. The main character was even played and v.o. by Hugo Weaving (Agent Smith). I guess it was meant to be intellectually compelling and to relate to the ‘problems’ a post 9-11 world faces daily. I mean the ‘Bad Guy’ in this flick looked like Hitler, but resembled George W. It was so obvious what they were trying to say with this guy … Anyway, I was diggin’ the fight scenes, which there weren’t very many of actually. Like the Matrix the Wachowski Bros’ tried to layer the story line and lead the viewer toward an expectation all the while referencing nearly every major historically comparible event to the message of this movie. In other words, I give it 3 out of 5 stars mainly because I like the kung-fu and kept wanting to see “V” reveal his face beneath the mask … oops. Well, it’s definitely worth the price of a ticket, but don’t necessarily go in with high expectations.

What I did enjoy about the experience was watching the up & coming Sci-Fi trailers. Yes boys & girls X-Men III “The Last Stand” plays in a theater near you May 26. As most 3rd installment to Sci-Fi trilogies attemp to do, this one ends with a big battle scene. As you can imagine there are a lot of ‘new’ faces and dazzling effects. I’ll definitely buy a ticket.

Mo’ Stuff in March

OK so it’s the middle of March now. A lot to be thankful for actually. A lot to learn too. The Fellowship’s been good lately. A couple weeks back Wally shared on … well, I forget the title but basically he handled what things we trust in. He looked at 2 Kings 6 & 7 where Elisha walked and Isreal was protected from invaders. GOD prevailed and the most unlikely circumstances and characters were key to making known GOD’s results.

Today (Sunday) Gary shared on Focus. He bounced around the epistles but shared on being faithful. It was good. He really emphasized the One Body. Funny, he asked what the Mystery was and like … nobody responded. I muttered, “the one body,” virtually inaudible, then Beatrice gave a more scriptural definition. I do agree that as the b.o.c. we need to see the Mystery (Anyone, everyone living the more abundant life in its totality unified in agapeo constantly) a little bigger.
Hoppin’ on my soapbox –> Love seems to be the most obvious missing ingredient here. That and forgiveness. As I’ve said before it’s hugely important to ask yourself these three questions when you decide to walk with the Father:

1. Who am I?
2. Who do I work for?
3. Why am I doing what I do?

I was fortunate enough to share on Love at our place last week. Wow … I mean working this was XTRA cool. The focus of Mark 12:28 – 31 is love GOD 1st. We can mainly because GOD loved us 1st. We were of course unloveable, but that didn’t stop HIM.
Like I said, there’s lots to be thankful for.

What Future? Huh?

Pointless words. Angry person …  Time to get moving. Open doors that I need to walk through are swinging open figuratively speaking. It’s frustrating and debilitating sometimes. I can relate to Agent Smith’s character from Matrix I somtimes … you know, when he was complaining to a drugged up Morpheus and comapring humanity with a virus. The whole structure seems flawed, but complaining is Not apart of the solution but instead the opposite and then so is explaining what complaining is … Blah. What is the future out here? It’s quite obvious that it aint happening as it is now. Bitter is not the way.

So much possibility. OK stop yer’ whinin’ and think worse case scenerio. What if someone … a certain someone let’s say, were to rise up and start moving for GOD. Does it matter what obstacles they would meet? No. If you’re walkin’ then you’re unstoppable – you’ll know ahead of time and success will be common. Talking must occur 1st. Communication is vital in a marriage. That’s gotta go double for Fellowship & the Body.
