Dan in Real Life

I have seen the movie Dan in Real Life over five times.
It is a good movie. The first time I saw it was early August. Now, I own it. This movie is so good, it ranks among my favorite movies. My favorite movies being: Napoleon Dynamite, The Princess Bride, School of Rock, and Sense and Sensibility. Now, Dan in Real Life ranks among those. I think if Steve Carell wasn't in it, it would be one of those independent films that only really pretentious people watch. However, he is in it. Its famous. I thought it would be weird seeing 'Michael Scott' in a movie, but it wasn't. I didn't see Michael Scott: I saw Dan Burns. This movie was both funny and melancholy. It was also a love story.

Francis of Assisi

Francis of Assisi was a fellow who lived in Italy in the 13th century. He is most known for his love for animals and for forming the Christian order 'The Friars Minor.'
Francis was the son of a fairly well-off clothing merchant. In his youth, he partied a lot and was very frivolous in his lifestyle.
However once he was touched by God he completely gave up his old self, and gave all he had to beggars. He even touched lepers. Francis' prayer was "Great and glorious God, and Thou, Lord Jesus, I pray Ye, shed abroad Thy light in the darkness of my mind... Be found of me, Lord, so that in all things I may act in accordance with Thy Holy Will."
In his life, he prayed many more times, but this was in fact the whole mission of his life- to do God's will.
Francis is now known as Saint Francis of Assisi, patron saint of animals, birds, and the environment.
It is true, any person can become a saint as long as one is submitted fully to God.

A Poem to Ponder

LOVE (III)
by George Herbert


Love bade me welcome, yet my soul drew back,
Guilty of dust and sin.
But quick-ey'd Love, observing me grow slack
From my first entrance in,
Drew nearer to me, sweetly questioning
If I lack'd anything.

"A guest," I answer'd, "worthy to be here";
Love said, "You shall be he."
"I, the unkind, the ungrateful? ah my dear,
I cannot look on thee."
Love took my hand and smiling did reply,
"Who made the eyes but I?"

"Truth, Lord, but I have marr'd them; let my shame
Go where it doth deserve."
"And know you not," says Love, "who bore the blame?"
"My dear, then I will serve."
"You must sit down," says Love, "and taste my meat."
So I did sit and eat.

There is A First Time for Everything.

Lets start off with a Bible Verse, shall we ladies and gentleman?

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

James 1: 27.

If you are looking for insight you have come to the wrong place.
It is pretty hard to interpret that except on a literal level. So.
Does that mean religions like Hindu or Islam are right as well as Christianity?
Absolutely not.
