elevation

elevation #2sorry i don’t have any pictures of tonight’s service. the service was really good and i enjoyed it tonight.

earlier today i walked into my study and discovered that someone had placed a u2 elevation tour soccer jersey on my desk. i have a teen in the youth ministry whose dad drives tour busses for various rock groups. one of the groups he has driven for before (and will drive for again on their present tour) is u2. the jersey was one the band gave to him. he found out that i absolutely love u2 and thus the shirt ended up on my desk.

it was fantastic to have them think of me and desire to give me something like that. it made my day and night.

they better not screw this up

i can’t wait until december 2005 because that is when disney will release the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe. c.s. lewis was brillant and i am very excited about this film adaptation of his classic children’s series. they just better not mess it up. the first trailer doesn’t tell much because it is nothing more than customes and such. the film better be good. i’m not sure how i’ll respond if it isn’t. you can’t go messing with a classic unless you do it justice.

anways here’s the trailer for the film.

here’s the trailer for “charlie and the chocolate factory” which is another movie that i really hope the film industry doesn’t mess up. tim burton is doing it and that bodes well for it, but i just can’t imagine johnny depp being able to surpass gene wilder as willy wonka.

some works of fiction are better of not messed with.

blogathon 2005

sometimes something simple can become something amazing. the tsunami blogathon is simply a guy named darren posting 100 blog entries during a twenty-four hour period (around 1 every fifteen minutes) in hopes of raising some money for the asian tsunami victims. this is really not a huge thing – even though the thought of posting twenty-four original posts is quite daunting in my opinion (at my present rate i post 100 entries every three to four months). yet a large number of people are starting to get behind this small little endeavor. you can be one of the ones who are behind it. go and donate to the cause, watch darren sweat, or even send in a post suggestion. who knows this could become something amazing if we all get behind it.
