Lately

I've really enjoyed a few films that I've seen lately. I watched "The Avengers" with my Dad, which I thought was very entertaining. I also liked it because it made me think of the power of community, being able to take care of problems that no individual on his own could face. I think it's worth seeing twice myself. I also saw a movie called "We Bought a Zoo." I did watch this film twice. It's a very good story, and is based on a true one. If you're not in the mood for crying, I don't recommend it though. It's definitely a dramedy (drama and comedy). I picked up a couple of great cds. There's a band called "For King and Country" with the album called "Crave". Yes, they are both brothers with extremely high voices, but the lyrics are outstanding. "Love is sacrifice...", "I know that you're afraid, but people change...and I can change...", and "Hope is what we crave and that will never change." The other artist is Matt Kearney with "Young Love". It's never really donned on me that most Christian artists usually don't talk about relationships as openly as other secular ones do. But both these artists boldy go where few dare to tread. I've always respected people with a lot of heart, and these guys aren't scared to show it. I'm so grateful to God for where I am these days, and the courage that's slowly building inside of me. If it were not for so many different forms of encouragement; solid church, a good job, etc., I don't know where I'd be today. Take care, and God bless you.
