May God bless you with discomfort
At easy answers, half-truths, and superficial relationships,
So that you may live deep within your heart.
May God bless you with anger
At injustice, oppression and exploitation of people,
So that you may work for justice, freedom and peace.
May God bless you with tears
To shed for those who suffer pain, rejection, hunger, and war,
So that you may reach out your hand to comfort them
And turn their pain into joy.
And may God bless you with enough foolishness
To believe that you can make a difference in the world,
So that you can do what others claim cannot be done
To bring justice and kindness to all our children and the poor.
Amen”
First things first. This movie is rated R. That rating means that if you are a parent and bring your 7 year old to see this in theaters, you probably need some counseling.

So I asked myself “where did it go?” I mean stuff like that doesn’t just up and disappear, we’re talking about a natural inborn desire. So I was really sitting around thinking about this yesterday and here’s what I came up with. Read more…
Not going to lie: I don’t get it. And I’m not alone I’m sure. I don’t know why you would die for people who are as base and lowly as me. I don’t understand why you would suffer for us who have never done anything for you or done anything to deserve your love. I don’t understand how you could do all this and not just for those of us who are thankful but even those of us who aren’t. Read more…
There lived a Hobbit.” The opening line to the quiet prequel to the epic masterpiece The Lord of The Rings. The Hobbit is one of my all time favorite books and not going to lie, I’m am absolutely terrified of the movie. I mean, does anyone else remember this train wreck from 77? (For the record, I didn’t see it until 93)
Turns out that the casting for the new movie finally came out and a number of the names made the top 20 Google trends for 10/22/10. So here are some of the things that I absolutely loved from the book that I hope make it into the movie. Read more…
