Pam and I watched "Shoot 'em Up," with Clive Owen and Paul Giametti. Pure, 100%, unadulterated, gratuitious violence from beginning to end. And for both Pam and me, a disturbingly guilty pleasure. Wouldn't necessarily recommend it to anyone...and yet, I'd see it again. I'm not sure if this says anything about my spiritual maturity.

About Me
Career-wise, I've been hanging around and writing about and cheering on churches and pastors for the past 25 years as my denomination's Communications Director.I write primarily for my own amusement. If anyone wants to eavesdrop, they're welcome to it. My heartbeat is serving God faithfully through the local church. But my posts repeatedly stray into sports, politics, movies, and other nonsense.
I've been blogging since 2004, and it's been fun. Please understand that, though I work for the United Brethren in Christ denomination, the nonsense I spew out here comes from my own semi-functional brain in a totally personal, non-official capacity. Yes, that's a disclaimer.
About this Entry
Today Gary talked about how much money is spent on watching PG 13 and R rated movies. I think it was like 90 billion dollars each year is spent on movies that use profanity, violence and sexual content. He had other statistics concerning smoking, drinking, gambling and the numbers were staggering. His basic point was "What are we thinking as Christians, when we support these things with our money?" It was a wrap up message for the series "Things we don't talk about in church like BLEEEEEEEP"
Money
Politics
Sex
It makes you stop and think just what exactly we are supporting when we enjoy what the world has to offer.
