I just watched this movie that I rented via Netflix (and yes, as soon as I get some money I will buy it!)
But seriously, it is a date movie, musical, and tons of other words that would describe it as a chick flick, but I am telling you it is AMAZING! You would do wonders for your heart, mind, and soul to watch this movie.
Warning..it is shot like a documentary, and is rated R for the language (it is just like real life...crazy huh? heh heh)...but seriously if you have not seen it... you should not die without watching it!
yeah it is that good.... wow!
Ok and here is a quote from my friend Alan, who is quoting someone else that I just had to put up here!!!
Take it away Alan:
OK, please do yourself a favor and go read this. It's a fairly lengthy blog post by Fr. Al Kimel about our views of God's love, forgiveness, how we look at sin, etc. He's mostly interacting with thoughts expressed in a book by Dominican theologian Fr. Herbert McCabe. I've added a new book to my wish list now. Good stuff. It will be challenging for some to read, but it's good.
I snagged this particular quote from Fr. Alvin's post, just to wet the appetite...
"It is very odd that people should think that when we do good God will reward us and when we do evil he will punish us. I mean it is very odd that Christians should think this, that God deals out to us what we deserve. … I don't believe in God if that's what he is, and it is very odd that any Christian should, since there is so much in the gospels to tell us differently. You could say that the main theme of the preaching of Jesus is that God isn’t like that at all" (God, Christ and Us, p. 11)
========================
AMEN! I used this quote today, and it was for me... thank you God for not giving me something that I think I deserve! You are THE God I serve...not matter the circumstance! Amen!
Oh and BTW: Alan has just started his own graphic Design company..so if you need anything like that (web design, or business cards, or print material, or logos...he is your man)! Go give this guy some money so he can feed his family! Thanks! and God bless yall!
Vblog!

Yes, please hire me! I totally agree with that. ha! Thanks for the plug DG. :)
And yes, that quote was good stuff. I'm going to get that book for sure, soon.
Seriously though, hire me.
Sorry I can't help Alan since I'm just retired school teacher, but,D.G., I will try to rent "Once". I have really liked all the movies that you have suggested. Hope conference goes very well and I will be looking forward to reports of it from you. You and Gary have a safe trip and let Got take care of all your presentations and yourselves. Love, Mom
Wow! I had to read Fr. Al Kimel's blog post about 4 times to get all of it's hearty goodness.
Thanks for linking to it. It was exactly what I needed to hear before I even knew I needed to hear it!
your welcome, Alan, Mom, & Greg, heh
We watched ONCE about a month ago. It was really a good movie and good alternative to the normal Hollywood stuff. I almost fell out of my chair when he called himself the Broken Hearted Hover Fixer Sucker Guy. I don't know when I've heard better lyrics.
Love you Man....
Oh muh goodness! The wife and I just finished "Once" and love love loved it. Fantastic movie and good music to boot. Thanks for the recommendation.
