United 93

Trista and I just got back from this movie...wow...it was so intense.

There are many different and very strong emotions flying through me right now: anger, pride, sadness.

The movie was very well done. It showed the confusion of the day, but also the incredible story of these few "insignificant" fliers. If you haven't seen it, I insist that you go, but don't go alone. You will need a hand to hold on to at the very least. Some people have said that it is too soon to show this movie. I don't think so. I think we need to be reminded.

I have had many theological discussions over the years since seminary and heard the statement, "but we're all praying to the same God". There was a moment in the movie that showed this very clearly isn't the case. Right at the end, you see the terrorists "praying" to allah and praising him for the victory and at the same time the passengers are saying the Lord's Prayer.

I hope you all go see it.

Searching the Globe

I was recently introduced to a new hobby. It's called Geocaching. You can find out more about here: www.geocaching.com

Basically, you use GPS receivers to go to coordinates given on the website. Sometimes at the coordinates you find monetary treasure (if you're the First To Find) and sometimes the person who set up the "Cache" will send you on a multiple step scavenger hunt that leads to a beautiful view. It is a great, fun way to get out and enjoy God's creation...although sometimes you do get some funny looks from people. :) "What is he doing, wandering in circles like that?!"

And it's not that expensive to get into either...unlike other hobbies. A new GPSr starts around $40, and it may even get you to where you want to go!

I just placed my first cache today. You can go to the website and search under my screen name to find it: MoxieMan. Mmmmm, Moxie...another great blog topic for the future! Well, enough for now.

In His Grip,
Dave
