Stranger Than Fiction

I do so love this movie. Just got to see it again today (not at all like me on a sunny Saturday afternoon...but I couldn't resist). If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. But please understand, this is not at all like Talladega Nights (thank goodness).

Romans 8:38
"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God."

Ephesions 3:17-19
"I pray that you...may have power...to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge - that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God."

"Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person`s ultimate good as far as it can be obtained."

The Four Loves (C.S. Lewis)

More on Fargo...

Tried (in vain, I believe) to help a friend understand the merits of the movie Fargo. Tried to illustrate what I see in Margie and Norm and the points the movie makes about greed and the value of the simple things in life. I think I would just have to watch it with her to get her to see what I see. But that's not likely to happen. Oh well.

My Grandma Tuinstra's favorite verse

Micah 6:8
He has shown you, o man, what is good.
And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with your God.

"God is not proud...He will have us even though we have shown that we prefer everything else to Him."

"Now is our chance to choose the right side. God is holding back to give us that chance. It won`t last forever. We must take it or leave it."
