This year Sarah and I are trying something new. We are going to read the bible through from cover to cover. It is something I have always wanted to do, but have never had the consistency to actually stick with past the third week of January.
But this year I am determined to stick with it. So, here is the way we are going to do this. We are going to use bibleinayear.org as our resource for what to read each day. We are doing the email based program that actually sends you what you are supposed to read in email each day. It has multiple versions, as well as multiple reading orders to choose from.
We decided to go with the chronological order since it makes the most sense to keep in continuity with how things actually happened.
We are almost a week in and really think this may work for us, at least I hope so. And it doesn’t have to start on New Year’s day, it can start any day you want. You just put in your email address and they send you a confirmation link, then the next day you get your first email.
Also, if you don’t want to do it by email, you can print off the list of what you should read each day. So for those of you who don’t check your email each day, you can just check your sheet and move on.
So if you don’t have a new years resolution, this is one that i would highly recommend. And this isn’t the only game in town, there are lots of websites who will help you in many ways do the same task, this is just the easiest one for what we want.
So we saw Fireproof last night and really liked it. We had a really good time and think that everyone should see this movie. It was created by the same church that made Facing the Giants. It is about a firefighter and his struggle to save his marriage. It is right now at the dollar movies, so you can get in for 2 dollars. Not bad for a really solid and positive movie.
I really suggest you watch this video. This is a major issue with the future of the internet, and our government is the only one that can keep it from happening.
Sarah has been waiting for this movie for awhile and we finally got the chance to watch it at the Dollar Theater last night. Did you know that the dollar theater is no longer the dollar theater, but instead the four dollar theater. You now get a medium popcorn, a medium soft drink, and your movie admission for $4. It’s really not a bad idea when you think about how it was up to $2 for just the movie before this.
Anyways, the movie was actually pretty funny. I wasn’t really sure what to expect, but with Sarah and I starting to look at the next step in our family, it made us laugh because of all of the stuff that we have read so much about in the baby books and what-not. I actually would recommend it. It has a lot of stupid humor, but a lot of really quick witted humor as well. And it was a surprise to see Steve Martin and Greg Kinnear in the film since I had no clue they were in it at all. So go check it out if you want a good funny movie, at least I liked it.
I went to see the first Hulk movie a few years ago and was more than a little disappointed. I was a big Hulk fan as a child and really loved the TV show. So when the new movie was coming out, I even read the book. And for me to read a book, that means I was extremely excited.
After reading the book, I was ready for the movie to come out. I loved the story and all it meant, but then I saw Ang Lee’s version of the book and was highly disappointed. I have since gone back and watched it and think it is an okay movie, but not near as good as it could have been.
Last night was redemption. I was excited about seeing Edward Norton in a movie, and as one of my favorite comic book characters nonetheless. Let me just say that it paid off. I really enjoyed the movie which was very exciting for me. It had some really good action sequences, good storyline, good acting, good dialogue, and great special effects. The one thing that took me out of the moment a few times was their stab at humor. A certain amount of humor is fine, and I understand the need for it completely. But I didn’t like how we would be in the middle of a very serious moment or in the middle of action and there be some sort of humor that completely derails the lead-up of the rest of the scene so far.
Overall though, I really liked it and think that when it comes out on Friday, each of you need to go see it. It isn’t as good as Iron Man, but it is definitely a win for comic book movies and in the upper tier of those like it.
Thursday night I got to go with some members of Sarah’s family to see the pre-screening of You Don’t Mess with the Zohan. It was fun, as it always is to go see a movie for free. But the movie itself was not near as fun as I was hoping. It did kind of hearken back to the days of Billy Madison where it was all out silliness, but there was no real world weight to the movie like Billy Madison. It was just silly and over the top. It definitely had a theme and moral to the story, but that doesn’t always make for a good movie. I did like all of the cameos and non-actors in acting roles. That was kind of fun to see. Dave Matthews, Mariah Carey, and Micheal Buffer just to name a few.
If you want to see the movie, I’m not going to stop you, but I definitely wouldn’t recommend it.
