QUOTE OF THE WEEK

Christianity is the true worship and service of the true God, humankind’s Creator and Redeemer. It is a religion that rests on revelation: nobody would know the truth about God, or be able to relate to him in a personal way, had not God first acted to make himself known. But God has so acted, and the sixty-six books of the Bible, thirty-nine written before Christ came and twenty-seven after, are together the record, interpretation, expression, and embodiment of his self-disclosure. God and godliness are the Bible’s uniting themes.

Giving Thanks in November

DateSunday, November 11, 2007 at 01:53PM

I'm just now getting around to posting yesterday's thankful thought but, as you will see, I was busy doing other things.

 I won't regale you with all the activities of a busy Saturday; everybody is busy on Saturday.  But not everybody gets to settle into a soft leather chair and read a new 140+ page screenplay; a screenplay written by one's own 16 year old son!

Sam is a delightful writer!  His adventure/action "movie" is filled with likable characters, whitty banter, comedy, drama and ACTION!  As his teacher, he asked me to give him some editorial feedback, so I sat down with a pencil and a stack of post-its, but after a few pages, the post-its were forgotten as I entered into the world of my son's imagining.

It was a singularly delightful experience.  This kid can write.  I am very proud of him.  I'm thankful for the talents God has given him, the willingness he has to share his work, the way he asks for and receives feedback and his wonderful imagination. 

Who knows?  Maybe someday he'll be a director, standing there beside a big old camera with a clipboard in his hand and headphones on his ears counting down. . . 3. . .2. . .1. . .action!

That's great! I hope my son is like that when HE is 16, too.
