Changed Life

You might think that I'm about to write about character transformation or someone coming to Christ or something equally weighty. But the truth is, when I find something (or someone) I like, I can be just as vocal about its (their) greatness as I am about the gospel.

My life has been changed by a Mac. So, all right, it can't compare with, say, Jesus, and it isn't perfect, but may I just say that I am a much happier person since the old Dell laptop has been stored in an overhead bin at my office? My new Mac boots up in seconds. But you don't ever really have to reboot anyway. It just works. How novel!

...just one more reason to get a Mac!

Spidey...Not Totally Fiction

When God employs such things as talking donkeys to get someone's attention, why should I be surprised that a movie about a fictional superhero can let us in on spiritual truth?

Call me unorthodox, but it isn't only the stuff that is sold in Christian bookstores that reminds me of God's ways. After all, story was His idea in the first place. While this movie never makes the faintest reference to God, it does pull back the veil on what is true.

So I walked out of the theater more hopeful than when I went in. Spider Man 3 reminded me that evil will not win out in the end, that character transformation IS possible, and forgiveness is the key to freedom.

Creative Juices Apparently Sapped

It's funny how not creative you can be when your emotional energy is spent elsewhere. "Maybe I'll be creative tomorrow," I've said for the past three weeks, "and I'll write a post on my blog." And then I wake up..."Nope. I've got nothin'."

Oh well. Maybe I'll be creative tomorrow.
