Man Movies, a Prayer Priority, and Photo Men will be men
You know you are overly photo-minded when you start taking pictures of your crying son rather than comforting him! Actually, he was crying because he wasn't getting his way, so I'm not a bad dad. In other non-news, the movie 300 comes out today. I normally think nothing of new movies, but this is one that has just pulled in my attention. I love seeing new styles and creative work when they are well done, and this seems to be a jewel (how corny does that sound). True, it's rather violent and not exactly historically accurate, but then it doesn't claim to be. Rather than match history in detail, it tries to convey the feeling of the time. When movies such as DaVinci Code pretend to be realistic and utterly bad history, it sickens me. When movies drop realism and take take liberties with facts, I can be entertained. Truthfully though, it just looks like a sweet guy movie! What interests you in a movie?Ephesians 6:18
I neglected prayer last night and it showed. Last night was Bible study for a group of us, yet no one seemed to really be there. Present yes (for the most part), but not really there. I can't say if anyone else actually neglected prayer, but I can speak for myself. I didn't go in with a mindset on God. It's a bit of a problem with too many Bible studies really. Believers going in to supposedly hear from God through His Word, but don't even really begin with a "hello." Yes, there's prayer at the beginning (I would hope!), but I mean serious, personal time of praying before hand. By serious, I don't mean face-in-the-dirt posturing; I mean going to God humbly and asking for the opportunity to learn of Him and glorify Him as people gather to hear and discuss His Word. We neglect prayer too often.

your comments on prayer is so true. i was in a sunday school class for a long time where we never prayed before we began our study. i knew something was missing, but not being the "teacher" i didn't say anything for a while.
eventually he (my teacher) asked if we thought there was anything we could do to "better" our class.
i leaped at the oppertunity to say "Pray together!" there's something about praying as a group that seems really powerful - when it's sincere & humble.
so i really appreciate your post about that.
also, if you want to see a good movie - The Prestige and The Illusionist are two good movies (both about magicians).
=)
Sin City (created by the same people) still stands as one
of the most twisted, disgusting and spiritually torrid movies
I've ever experienced.
If you do see it, let me know how it is... It LOOKS amazing!

its just really basic. i found it on a shelf. i dont even know if it works...
"You are so right about prayer. Occasionally when I have a good long in-depth prayer time, I think, "YES! I need to take time for this every day." But I don't, unfortunately. So often prayers are just quick rhetoric, and afterward I realize that my mind was a dozen other places. It's so frustrating!
I think the challenge is to center your mind heavenward before you begin. I find so often that I'm still digesting a conversation or thinking about what I am going to do, and my mind is far from God.
Aww, cute pic of your son!
He looks so pitiful...until we find out that he's not so pitiful after all.
My hubby is interested in seeing 300 too...I don't even know what it's about!
