Yes I Know It's Monday, But Is It Friday Yet?
Posted by: Denelle
I hate those mornings when the alarm goes off and I wake up and I can't remember what day it is and why I'm supposed to be waking up. It leaves me feeling completely off-guard and unprepared for the day. Add to that the fact that we're having severe thunderstorms, the F train was ridiculously crowded and muggy because of the rain and before I could even make it into work today I was seriously considering calling in sick.
Hopefully everyone had a good weekend. Check out Kent's posts over at A Month In My Life. From the looks (and sound) of it, he seems to have had an excellent weekend.
Sidenote
Oh, and I thought some of you might be interested in knowing that Bro. Andy Smith (who Kent blogged about last week) was here in NY this weekend. He spoke about the book signing and what a great experience it was, and how his brother (who is not involved in our churches) has called him and thanked him several times for exposing him to the love and fellowship that was so obviously apart of those there to support Andy. Isn't it amazing how God can use one little event to impact the life of someone you would probably least expect?
Right or Wrong
A lot of hype is being made in religious circles about the upcoming release of The DaVinci Code. Love it or hate it, think it's the work of Satan or just an intriguing piece of fiction, there is a lot to be said.
However, I was "corrupted" by Dan Brown many years ago now so I'm more interested in discussing United 93 which opens this weekend.
Obviously this movie deals with the events of September 11, 2001 and the one hijacked plane that didn't reach it's target. While the families of the victims have all given their support for this movie, I'm amazed to think that anyone would really want to see this movie and relive that day in such agonizing (larger than life) detail. What do you think . . . is this a loving tribute to those who died or an attempt by the recognition hungry (aka Hollywood) to exploit this disaster for their own benefit?
I will moderate my comments and only say that for a multitude of reasons I won't be watching this (or any other September 11 films) anytime soon.
