Deja Vu has two of my favorite actors in it- Denzel Washington and Val Kilmer. Only one of them gets all the fun- Denzel. Val has lines, but not much depth to his character. That the character seems so unlike many of his other characters means he did a good job. The script, alas, didn’t [...]

Here’s where it’s at. I really wish I could have gone to the meeting earlier this year. It just wasn’t in the budget. But have no fear….
As reported elsewhere by many others, the Gospel Coalition website is up. I like the subtitle “for the next generation of gospel-faithful ministry.” This is chock full of resources. [...]

I’m not sure where all of these guys paid to pay attention have been doing, but they haven’t been paying attention.
Boston.com’s Eric Wilbur thinks Danny doesn’t know what he’s doing, and he quotes a few others who can’t figure it out.
Eric: “It’s official. Danny Ainge doesn’t have the slightest idea what he’s doing.”
““There’s no vision, [...]

That is one big locust, folks. We sure can grow them in Florida.

Thanks to a draft day trade, the Celtics now have Allen Ray and the much better Ray Allen playing shooting guard. The Celtics traded Wally, Delonte West and the #5 pick, which was Jeff Green (who could have been paired with Gerald Green for the boys in green but won’t).
What I Like About the Trade
The [...]

The latest rumor is that the 3rd trading partner for Minny & Phoenix is Charlotte. Charlotte would get Amare.
If I’m Danny Ainge, I’d call and say I’d give up Al Jefferson and the #5 for Amare Stoudamire. How can that hurt? If there is one young player I’d trade Al to get- Amare is the [...]

I hope Green will be the guy (unless Atlanta does the unthinkable and Horford is available), and fear it will be Jianlian (PROJECT). I have no clue for the second round. Pruitt sounds [...]

As I’ve been looking myself, I’ve seen some good things being done by search committees lately. I thought I’d pass them on so others can benefit.
1. Set Deadlines for Applications. This can be adjusted if you get there and discover no suitable candidates. But one friend of mine was essentially the #1 candidate for a position [...]

The draft is tomorrow. Teams are trying to wheel and deal. They are faking and juking to get an advantage over the competition. Rumors are flying. It all comes fast and furious from any number of directions.
But who are you to believe? It is hard when you have unnamed “league sources”. You hope the writer [...]

I have been meaning to read Breaking the Missional Code: Your Church Can Become a Missionary in Your Community since it came out last year. I wish I could have read this about 3 years ago. But it was not available at the time. Overall, this is a very good, and important book that most pastors [...]

I didn’t want to give up Al Jefferson and the #5 pick for Kevin Garnett. Okay, that thought was loathesome to me. The idea of getting Jermaine O’Neal instead just about makes me want to slit my wrists. This is the latest rumor talked about on ESPN’s SportsCenter. Jefferson and the pick still go to [...]

(from 1999)
“You see. Love and a bit with a dog, that’s what they want”. So were the words of the theater owner to young and struggling Will. So begins an exploration of what the people really want (the dog really was optional). What people want is reflected in the relationship between William and Viola. This [...]

CavWife found Blood Diamond so intense she got a headache.
It is another distressing tale of some of the evil that takes place in Africa. Like Hotel Rwanda and Black Hawk Down, it also takes place during the Clinton Administration. And America once again seems impotent in the face of such evil.
There is a civil war in Sierra Leone, [...]

This is the story of the final investigation that bagged the most infamous spy in modern U.S. history. Chris Cooper does a great job as the man under scrutiny. The screenplay and directing allow you to build a strange sort of affinity with him. I found his sarcasm delightful. I distracted CavWife a bit in [...]

I don’t quite get this. I see evangelism and edification as more relational than this. It seems more like evangelical fortune cookies to me. But they have testimonials on their web site.
Oh, I am a tea drinker. There was a Brit in the family tree a few generations back. Better for you than coffee.

I’ve got lots of boys. LOTS of boys, but they like to swim in schools, which is not really conducive to conceiving a child.
This is like that Friends episode (I really didn’t like the show, but CavWife did) where Chandler said his boys didn’t get off the barca lounger, and her body was an inhospitable [...]

He gave trade rumors the Big No Way, putting the kabash on any trade to the Celtics. I’m not offended, but quite pleased. KG is one of the best players, but he is in his prime so it’s the slow slide from here. To imagine giving up Big Al Jefferson and the #5 pick (which [...]

I think this is cool. Fuel efficient, affordable, safe. It only fits two adults, and no kids but it would make a great car for commuting. You can shift between automatic and manual transmission. I prefer a stick, but hate it when sitting in traffic. This is the best of both worlds! It is the [...]
