I saw "Fireproof" last night. It didn't stink. Well, the acting did, but everything else was pretty good. Good story, great action scenes, and Kirk Cameron did an excellent job ( i was genuinely impressed). But the acting (or lack there of) of the rest of the cast really annoyed the crap out of me. Was it a volunteer cast? Had anyone received any type of acting training? Or did they all receive training from someone who told them to read every line with the same inflection. Along with that, the cinematography just made the whole thing feel like a "Lifetime Original" movie. But the story was great, so i still recommend it. I loved how they addressed the issues of divorce, pornography, and what it means to "love" someone. The characters were all very real, in that none seemed too preachy, corny, or over the top. The most preachy one is the dad, and well, dads are preachy! On a scale of 1-10 i give it a 6.
Still, i'd recommend "Billy: The Early Years " the Billy Graham story. It was filmed much better.
My new job at Carolina Tumblers is going well. I've been promoted to "kiosk manager"! That's right, i am on the fast track to success. my dream has finally come true. But seriously, i'm thankful to have a job. There is A LOT of dead time so i've been listening to an insane amount of Mark Driscoll; he is awesome.
Candice and i are doing well. She is pretty much amazing and i get along really well with her family. I am constantly impressed with her patience and understanding with me and her desire to serve, grow and discuss tough issues.
I love my Sunday School class. Tomorrow we're having a cook out. God's doing cool things in our lives and we're growing in spiritually, numerically, and in community. I've been watching my sunday school teachers' 18 month old daughter on Tuesdays and that has been very rewarding.
Flag fotball is tomorrow, and i'm crazy excited.
