Life is unpredictable

We saw the movie "World Trade Center" tonight. It was hard to watch but so thought provoking and well done. Really brought home the importance of faith and family in the face of tragedy and how it can bring out the best in people too (those that were willing to lay down their lives to save others). I kinda liked the part when the guy saw Jesus with a water bottle (the guy was semi-buried in rubble and really thirsty). Sounds weird, but I kinda liked it. And when the other guy thought it was the end and he started yelling out the Lord's Prayer. That's a great way to go. Reminds me of when I bungee jumped and some people would swear when they jumped, but I thought if this is it, I want to shout "hallejuah!" so that's what I did (more than once). But, yeh, it was a good movie. I recommend it. Not perfect (there's some profanity I could do without) and hard to watch at times (but then I shut my eyes - that helps) but definitely worth seeing. I had to laugh because I was just on msn with a friend from California. I told her that watching that movie made me proud to be American. A while later she said she just got the joke about being American - cause she forgot we're not American! Pretty funny. Just the 51st state I guess. Nice day, HUH (as opposed to "EH") ? How's my American accent? haha

Kind of makes me also think of what's happening in Thailand - how situations can change so quickly and turn upside down overnight. I'm so glad that God is in control! And I'm glad it's not violent. Always a good opportunity to pray!

hi demara, well she eats about 1/2 of what benz did and the room smells way better, has pink bed sheets and is more messy! She's very nice, no problem, very much a teenager, a lot different from Benz, stays in her room a lot and loves going to the mall. Also, she doesn't like kimchi! Can you imagine that? Benz is visiting this weekend from UBC. It's nice to see him again.
