Who are you?

Our Daily Bread
I attended a reunion concert yesterday for the Gay and Lesbian chorus in Louisville, KY.  We were celebrating 20 years of concerts and serving the LGBT community.  While it was a lot of fun to see old friends, there were several cases of mistaken identities and "I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you!"  ha!

That made me think about how Christians are seen in the world.  How are each viewed?  Do they see Christ in us?  Do they see his love and mercy?  Do they see the Living God in our lives?  Or do they say "I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you!" when looking for Jesus in the way we act and treat people?  Let us think about this during this Holy Week!

Lord, we know who you are.  Please help us show others through our lives!

Movie Monday
I got to see two movies last week: Noah and Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

Noah
I told my mother that I think the screen writers mixed the story of Noah with The Lord of the Rings a little too much!  Hollywood also took some liberties with the story line that I didn't like.  I think they were trying to explain some things that humans have had a hard time understanding since the first time the stories were told.  I'm sorry, it didn't work for me!  The special effects were amazing.  The acting was pretty good.  It may have just been me, but it seemed the actors developed British accents towards the end of the movie.

I give this two bear paws.  If it had been a fictional story, I would have given it three bear paws.  See it on the big screen to get the full view of the special effects.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier
I really liked this action thriller movie. I saw it with my roomie so we both fed off each other's excitement when viewing.  There were some nice plot twists.  Lots of blow em up - shoot em up.  A little scariness in a "could this really happen" kind of way.  It was fun if you didn't take it too seriously!

I give this three bear paws for the overall effect and the plot twists.  See it on the big screen!
