This is possibly the greatest thing I’ve ever seen.  Enjoy.

Praise God for people who care about the youth enough to do this!

Jade and I went to see Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire tonight.

I will not write a review about it because there is no way I could possibly do justice to how great the film was.  Everything was top notch: acting, directing, cinematography, music, sound.  Absolutely stunning.

This film connected so deeply with my soul.  The reason for that, I believe, is because of some of the things I’ve seen in the few developing countries around the world that I have visited.  The slums of Mumbai reminded me of some of the poverty-stricken areas of Northern Egypt I saw in 2005 while on a Middle Eastern study tour.  Perhaps the most resonating memories are that of Honduras, which I just traveled to in December on a vision/mission trip.  One of the boys in the film had an uncanny similarity to a boy I met and built a relationship with in Trajillo, whose name is Miguelito.  The surrounding conditions of the kids in the film and the kids I met in Honduras closely resembled each other.  

The film is breathtakingly wonderful and I would recommend it any and everyone.

All Things New

They're his people, he's their God. He'll wipe every tear from their eyes. Death is gone for good—tears gone, crying gone, pain gone—all the first order of things gone. The Enthroned continued, "Look! I'm making everything new. Write it all down—each word dependable and accurate." [Rev.21v5]
