I just got back from the movie called Hero. It was an amazing movie and just like all movies I try to find Christ in it ands it is not hard to find it in this one! This movie is very similar to Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. This is one movie that you go to it for the fight scenes because they are so well thought out and done, but then the story catches you and it becomes just as amazing, and all the while the Cinematography never lets you even blink. Thank you so much! I can’t wait for this one in High Def! What an amazing movie, and it does not take a rocket scientist to see the Christianity in this one, but I guess for some you might have to look deeper than if it would be sooo plain.

Well, I highly recommend it. I also recommend that you get the DVD because I am sure that it will explain all the symbolism through out the entire movie, of which is so much I could not even try to explain it, but I will give you this quote from IMDB.com when it came to the costumes:

“In the flashbacks, the characters’ costumes go from red (imagination) to blue (perceived reality) to white (truth). In the final flashback, the costumes are green (enlightenment/peace).”

Now that is some fun with film! They did not even have to pull a Matrix and digitally change the tint of the film…they just did it with good old fashion cloth, and die, heh.

Oh and yeah the fight scenes are truly amazing, especially the water scene, leaf scene, and arrows (both of them) scene/s. Really really cool!

Oh and if you go just like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon this one is only English in the subtitles, so only go to this expecting an Artsy Fartsy film, because it is well better stated foreign film. ha ha.

Jay Update:

Well, I did not talk to Jay that much today, because when I called he was showering and I talk to my parents, but they said he is doing great and they were too. So good news all around. I am feeling better today too, but I am still coughing a little bit, but no biggie.

I did pre-order the new Halo 2 XB-Live headset today, and man it looks hecka cool!

Well, yall have a great day today/night and know I love you…and even more importantly God loves ya! Take care and May God bless!…you that is, heh.

Good morning!!

Well, I don’t have too much time because I have to get to my accountability group, but I wanted to tell yall that Jay is doing very good…can’t sleep sometimes, but doing good.

I also wanted to tell yall that I have very fond memories of some home made pickles that my family received one time when I was a kid and I think I will try to reproach them. All I remember was they were in a huge jar and there was all kinds of herbs and stuff floating around in the jar. I can’t remember if we received them from Nan or one of my name’s friends or if it was someone else that my Dad knew, but I am asking any of you to start your SEC’s now for the best DILL Pickle recipe that you can find and let me know the receive. I have no idea why I am craving Pickles (isn’t this something that pregnant women do? Maybe my body is thinking that it is my job to do all the baby work, instead of Tiffany, ha ha). What ever the problem, I really would love to have a great dill pickle recipe! Well yall have a great day and God bless you all! I will leave you with my dreams…ha ha ha

Oh, and sorry about no posts yesterday and maybe the day before, I have been crazy busy trying to get ready for the church events that we have been having. The first one was on Saturday where the church came up with a new vision statement (actually it is not necessarily new, but it is up-to-date, ha ha (this way the people who are still around who came up with the old one can’t get mad, heh) That took all of Saturday morning and then I help decorate the church for Rally Aloha Day which is our church’s kick-off day to say, “OK summer is over you can stop skipping church now lets start coming back and enjoying ourselves by worshiping God in fellowship, etc…) It was a blast on Sunday and every one was wearing “lays” (sp?) and fun shirts. I even got to wear a fun shirt (untucked) and sandals!!!1 Woo Hoo It was lots of fun, and I truly believe that I am called to serve a church some day that does not care about a dress code (even if it is just an understood one) and everyone can be comfortable in their worship to God. But I better not get on my soap box now. Yall have a great week and know I love ya! Take care and God bless, and even though Jay is feeling good….Please KUTP!
