But oh well. Last year when I went to D2S i took the cell phone challenge and called one of the only friends i had at the moment. My friend had never really been to church or talked to anyone about God. I had no idea where she stood in her walk with God. I talked to her for only two min. but through that talk i got her to talk to her mom about the Bible and she started going to youth group with me. She still goes to youth group with me and she asks me questions about creation and Christ. I try to answer all of her questions and I use SOUL FUEL to help me. Recently she has been going through tough times and the only way that I knew how to help is by me praying for her. She has been not wanting to go to youth group because some of the people there intimidate her but I think i have convinced her to come. She has become one of my closest friends and her questions have helped me to remember to read my Bible and to pray often.

How exciting :) [I hope I'm supposed to post this here] So one day when I went to the Dare to Share confrence (it was last summer) I did the cell phone challenge. I called my friend and he didn't pick up. But he called me back a half an hour later (approximately) then... I shared what I thought about what happens when you died but he just said I don't know. I shared what I believed in... but he didn't accept yet. I'm still praying that he will! But I'm sure that phone call opened up some doors to the concept of there being a God. He's really unstable about religious things, so this was a good way to get his mind running in the right direction... I think. :) Wii drawing! How exciting :) [I hope I'm supposed to post this here]

With four boys, we're waiting for the DVD for the same financial reasons you listed (though Milk Duds are disgusting). My wife and I celebrated our anniversary with the new Indy movie... and considered most of it a waste of our celebration and state income tax return money. I'm in total agreement with how you listed the timing - "In the first thirty minutes of the movie I thought that it could be. The next thirty minutes made me start to doubt..." etc. The part that made me laugh the most was Indy and Mary's argument about why they didn't get married. My wife and I discussed afterwards how the writers/producers touched on "God-stuff" (quick scene with the Ark of the Covenant, etc.)while focusing on aliens, and what kind of message they were trying to communicate. I hope they get their story writing back to snuff, or I'm really going to miss the next two... literally. I haven’t seen Caspian yet.

All I have to say ... if it is true that Shia LeBeouf is being groomed for a new breed of Indiana Jones movies, I hope that Spielberg and Lucas (or was it Lucas and Spielberg) take a second to think how much damage they did with their "Alien Resurrection" theme. I actually spent most of the movie thinking to myself: "Haven't I seen this already? Oh yeah...The Mummy, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, National Treasure." There was absolutely no personality to go with the plot. Just pomp and circumstance. It was like a long and painful processional with a race to the alter (OOPS: POSSIBLE SPOILER!). Even Indy seemed to have lost his spark; he always seemed to exude confidence and lady-getting appeal. I just didn't feel it this time. The movie got out at 12:00 a.m., but I promptly went home and popped Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade in my dvd player and spent the wee hours of the morning licking my wounds.

Yea, twice in as many weekends. Loved the spiritual themes...definitely leaves alot ot consider and discuss. One point of clarification in your Indy reference...the bad guys in the first 3 were the German Nazis, not the Russian Communists. At least now I know you aren't perfect. :) Loved Caspian enough the first time to see it again instead of checking out Indy. Yea, twice in as many weekends.

Tue, 27 May 2008 01:04:17 +0000 http://www.gregstier.org/rants/indy-verses-aslan#comment-69694 I saw BOTH of those. Only one for a midnight showing though. I partly agree with you on Indy.I think it was written while the writers were on strike. Ugh! I think it was the lamest ending ever. The acting was awesome and Forde was as amazing as ever. LeBeouf is showing much promise on taking over as the new Indy, but lets hope the next is a little better than the last. Narnia was as awesome as ever! Some people think it was better than the first, I personally think it is a tie. The guys have really grown up and grown into their characters. I was impressed with how close they stuck to the original old school Narnia's. The next in the series are showing great promise!! As I was watching it I pointed out to myself the spiritual meanings through out the movie. It will definitely be a good tool in the next d2s! So sad I won't be able to come!!=( Much love and God Bless! ~Rachael =D I saw BOTH of those. Only one for a midnight showing though.

I thought that it could have been a lot better, it really did not give C.S Lewis credit. They put in a little to much drama (the tension between Peter and Caspian and the half romance with Susan. Now its been a while sense I have read the book but I don't remember anything like that)and it really detracted from the actual message Lewis was trying to get across. The book is so much better than the movie, I suggest you save yourself $7.50 and read the book instead. I saw Prince Caspian last Sunday with my youth group, I though it was good, but just good.
