time change sunday

though i just posted, i have other things to say in a different area, so here they are:

sunday was time change sunday. i know the spring change is aweful but the fall time change is awesome and totally worth it.
the day started at 7am (which felt like 8) with a shower: normal for a sunday.
since i got up on time - actually early - i was able to go to the cupboard for some cereal, a truly great invention. i found Lucky Charms...certainly i was the lucky one.
then, turned on the newly installed cable tv and realized the Yankees had lost the world series, which already made a great day better, thank you espn. Finally, as i left the house, i held in my hand two cups of freshly brewed dunkin donuts coffee: there is none better.

therefore, my vote is for time change sunday. for those in places where it does not happen, i am very sorry. this one sunday just might be able to propel my through another year of early morning sunday wakeups in blissful anticipation of the next sunday before halloween. certainlly april 4 looms on the horizon, but it is still over 5 months away. long live time change sunday and great d.d. coffee.

eternal tuesday

tuesdays are long for me.
i get up around 615, come to school and workout (even though most cant tell). then it is 4 hours of reading mixed in with unplanned naps that i dont usually know about until they are over. then its class for 3 hours on contemporary literature and Christianity. it is a great class but by 4pm, now, i am exhausted. i still have a book to read for 7 tonight. i know people in the real world do more than this and would laugh of my 10 hours of reading/discussion/nap but hey, its mentally exhausting dude!!

anyway, the book for this week was great: the sparrow by Mary Doria Russell. I recommend it even though it is a downer in the end. we dont always need happy endings, that is where eschatology is helpful.

jesus's new film

the other day i found out about this new jesus film that is coming out: the gospel of john. i have two thoughts-
1. the poster for the film reads something like "the word made into a film" echoing "the word made flesh."

question: shouldnt we revere "the word" - "logos" - made flesh, and the beginning of the gospel a little more than using it as a formula for a tagline for a movie?

2. the endo of the radio trailer states: "rated pg-13: may not be suitable for children under 13."

questions: is the gospel suitable for any and all ages to see and respond to?
should we applaud filmmakers for making a movie that is about jesus that is real enough to not be rated G?

i hope to see it sometime and i guess would encourage you to as well..anything in creation that can better help us grasp the magnitude and woder of the gospel should encourage us in some way in our spiritual lives.
tata for now

hello everyone,
yesterday, a friend of mine linked me to his blogspot. now, here i am. it seems like a good idea, you know, opening up my thoughts and putting them up for discussion and critique. feel free to comment and critique, this is a communal thing i guess. it is all still in the early stages, but hopefully you will enjoy "opening up my head and letting me out" (dmb).
peace
