jack bauer I ain’t…

We are minutes away from the end of an era.

After tonight, Jack Bauer will no longer be saving America by going rogue, disarming the bomb, killing the terrorists, stopping the deadly virus, and revealing the mole in CTU.

After 9 years (only 8 seasons, but even Jack Bauer couldn’t defeat the writer’s strike a few years back), we will have to rely on our own dangers to get the adrenaline pumping. You know, the heart-racing moments we all live through, such as waking up late for work, making our paychecks last until the 30th of the month, avoiding foods that will surely give us acid reflux, and stressing about the upcoming class reunion.

In other words, we have a lot of real stuff to deal with. But Jack Bauer gave us some escape, an hour at a time.

Does this have any connection to church stuff? Probably somewhere. I could pull out a verse or two that would make the secular-spritual connection work.

But right now, all I can say is that I’m gonna miss Jack. Mostly because now I’ve got to live in the real world.

Well, at least until the next Star Trek movie comes out!

why do christian movies stink?

O.K., the title to this post may not be fair. But, if you love the movie industry, you must agree that a vast majority (95%-99%) of Christian films stink.

Now, I’m not talking about the big budget Hollywood extravaganzas, such as The Ten Commandments or Passion of the Christ. I’m talking about the movies made in the past two decades produced specifically for the “church going” market. Duds like “Time Changers” and “Facing the Giants.”

Those are all well-intended flicks, but they’re awful because they are not relevant and in order to appeal to what they feel is their target market, they use dialogue that only Ned Flanders could appreciate!

LifePointe media guy starts fresh

It seems like lately, my life has been full of new beginnings. I’ve felt renewed spiritually, my wife and I are highly successful in a Weight Watchers class, I’ve found a great passion in my writing, and, after a year and a half, we are finally feeling like Louisville has begun to embrace us.

And, I can’t go on without mentioning that we are part of Louisville’s greatest church…LifePointe!

Things feel good.

So, it felt like the right time to start fresh with a new blog. The old one was fun, but I feel a need to be slightly less flip, and a little more relevant. Okay, I’ll still be flip…but with a dash more relevance!

I hope you’ll visit frequently, and enjoy the site. It’ll be updated frequently, and filled with great content.

Enjoy!
