The desire for the old wine

Luke 5:36–39 (NIV) 36 He told them this parable: “No one tears a piece out of a new garment to patch an old one. Otherwise, they will have torn the new garment, and the patch from the new will not match the old. 37 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wineContinue reading “The desire for the old wine”

“Why did you help me?”

“Land” is a movie focusing on a woman in grief. Robin Wright plays a woman who has suffered a deep loss, but we don’t know why. In her grief she moves away from the city she knew and buys a remote cabin in the mountains of Wyoming without any wilderness experience. The cabin is completelyContinue reading ““Why did you help me?””

Walking into the New Year

As I was preparing this post and then started to post, I put my title in first. I almost wrote: “Walking WITH PURPOSE into the New Year.” (Well, not all caps, but those were the words I chose to delete.) It’s not that “with purpose” is a bad idea.

I read Just Mercy almost two years ago and it has added to my education on racial justice. The movie is out and I have not seen it yet, but will write more when I have seen it.

It’s a beautiful day… and we’re losing

My wife and I saw It’s a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood this weekend. It is a marvelous movie that leaves you full of hope. How we need hope.

Being a huge fan of baseball, and watching Ken Burns’ “Baseball” series from PBS every year, and having read somewhat extensively on Jackie Robinson, this movies still had some nice surprisesContinue reading “42 — Incredible Movie, Baseball Fan or Not”

42 HELLBOUND

The only time I feel comfortable writing those words without feeling like I’m cursing is when it has to do with a title. This one does. It’s a new documentary coming out to limited screens, including one in my metro area. There will also be a follow up time with the filmmaker and local pastorContinue reading “HELLBOUND”
