Angie and I just watched"the End of the Spear". Wow. I have known the stories of the 5 missionaries who were martyred since I was a kid, but to watch the drama and know that it was all done from the eyewitness accounts was riviting. The unwavering faith of the men, and the n their wives and children truly inspires me. Ive been learning a lot lately about faith, and how if we know that God is telling us to do something, we should do it. It doesnt matter what common sense says. It doesnt matter what those around you say. If you are sure God is leading you, then dont let anything get in your way. Common sense says dont go back and try to reach those savages with the Gospel. Common sense says dont march around a city 7 times and expect to defeat it. Common sense says dont follow that illegitimate son of a carpenter. If God is calling us and we choose not to do what he asks, or modify his calling, we are choosing to rely on your self. We are telling God that he doesnt know what He is doing. It doesnt matter if it seems insignificant, or insurmountable.
Lord, give me sustained unwavering belief in you.

We saw it at the theater. Have you heard much about the Nativity movie coming out? "The Pursuit of Happiness" with Will Smith looks good too.

Yes, I read on focus on the family that "nativity" was good, and I also think Pursuit of Happiness looks like a good movie. Usually movies based in truth are pretty good.
