We took our 6 year-old to "Evan Almighty." I've already said that I think it's pretty cool how the director probably caught the insanity of God wanting Noah to build an ark. It hadn't ever rained on the earth, and Noah was building a huge boat . . . Anyway, at the climax of the movie - the part right where the bad guy (John Goodman) is yelling at Evan, and you don't know if it's going to rain, or not, and whether or not Even will just end up looking like a nut - she leans down and grabs…

To my mom, and the 4 other people that read this. We're going to be adding some new songs to the OMPC repertoire soon. Check out Tim Hughes's newest CD - Holding Nothing Back. We're going to use O Happy Day, Almighty God, and Everything.

Here's another alternative hymn tune project. I've been directly involved with this one, and we're launching a series of albums that will meet the needs of all sizes of congretations, worship styles, and leadership abilities. More info on the way . . .

. . . exciting things happening . . .

People keep asking me. I'm not getting one. I have a Treo650 that's pretty banged up, and I have an 80gb iPod that's got almost 70gb in music on it. Right now they're too small, and too expensive. Once they have storage of over 100gb for under $400, then I may . . .

one of the questions asked was "What cumbersome sin did Christ die to redeem your from" (paraphrase). Jim does a great job teaching - and the answers that came back were - well, big sins. Not specficically, but I think the majority of folks were thinking about sin in their life that is constantly haunting them, partly due to the size or impact of the sin on their walk, and their guilt.How about the little stuff? I think, especially in a grace-centered culture, in our paradigm of repenting, believing, and fighting, that the most cumbersome sins maybe those that AREN'T…

I've been thinking about Evan Almighty - we had a chance to see it on Friday. It got horrible reviews - either because the critics didn't like Steve Carell, or because they weren't wanting something that you could take your kids to. But I think they did a great job.
