Now here is a movie that is almost impossible to review -- without spreading the vulgarity of this movie!
Sure a billion reviews will sing its praises - and, if you cut out twelve minutes, so would I. As it is, all I say is save your money - this a POC movie, and they did this on purpose!
So much about this movie is so funny I thought I would pee my pants!
Did I mention I was the only one laughing?
Elton John was so hilarious!
Performances were good, if comedy was intended.
Naturally there is nothing supporting the good James Bond-ish sequences and instead, 14 year old action. The mentality of Hollywood.
Our hero, if he can ever act and not be such a smart ass, would make a reasonable candidate for next Bond - but there are probably 10,000 Northern Brits could do this job oh, so much better!
Avoid ...

Sana Rosa
Depending on traffic, this town is1.5 hours north of San Fransico, in spite of the news - it is NOWHERE near Sacramento!
Doesn't really matter, it no longer exists ....
Last night on the news they were showing the trailer park grandmother had lived in for many decades. Just a sea of ashes now. Nothing remains.
I have many warm memories of visiting my grandmother and her sister there.
Her neighbors were all delightful older people.
Ripley's Believe It or Not was here.
The Luther Burbank home and gardens were here.
I met Jack Palance and his daughter here.
My last grandfather was buried here.
Certainly a year of sadness.
And nothing I can do for them.
Except pray.

Bits and Pieces
So many thoughts swirlibng through my mind.
I should have done this last night when I had a really good idea.
Now, not so much.
I have been flattened since the first week of September by Norovirus, compliments of Royal Caribbean lines. The actual virus only flattened me for 10 days but left me with a painful cough in the evening. Tylenol Cold and Flu cuts the cough for 4 hours! So relief shorrt term when I can remember to take some - sigh ...
I did go to the doctor and, of course, my lungs were just fine.
Yet I am hacking my lung out as I sit here.
It makes conversation completely impossible even with the Tylenol.
I have slept so well this week!
I got very little last week with a missing godchild on my mind!
Now that he is found and back home, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
Though I suspect he needs counseling big time!
Heard very day from god-daughter.
I am so happy we were able to reconnect!
I just hope I can help her as she transitions into adulthood.
I do not expect see much of her as she is a two hour drive away and she has no car!
Well my mind has wiped itself again.
Time for a nap and to recharge my batteries.

A Hutterite's Belief
I have been asked for years define the Hutterite belief - I lack all interest in regressing five centuries to restate what was relayed to me and became a part of me!
But, the events of last week blind sided me!
I needed to be assured.
For the week I began questioning
And seeking answers ......
God is sovereign, there is nothing greater.
God is in control of all, nothing a part from Him occurs.
(this was the first of many sore points between my mentor and me!
if God is in control - then how come .....?)
I am not God and unworthy of judging Him!
This is good enough for getting us started.
So, god-son, a life long Christian on a bit of a rough road ( heavy drug abuse area).
Goes to a country western concert with two of his friends.
Some3thing I still do not understand occurs and a whack-o opens fire on the crowd.
He and his friends take off running, but no one know from where the bullets are coming.
His two friends are hit and die quickly.
His mind goes sideways.....
And where was God through all of this???????
Certainly nothing in the shooters life would suggest He was on a mission for God,
Nor that the friends were anything more than bad timing.
It would seem reasonable that god-son's life was protected, whereas, his friends were not.
It would seem God was finished with his friends, but not my god-son.
He was protected even after their deaths.
Interested.
If life is random - he should be dead.
The death count up to 200 times higher!
It boggles the mind!
No, I would not put into print what I personally think.
I am just grateful for his safe return .....
As for the Hutterite answer to this - we are not to question God, not to judge, not to condemn - He is sovereign - we are not.....

God-children
So, last Monday I was to learn that one of my God-children had dropped off the face of the Earth. No calls connected, even his work was looking for him! So lots of prayer but no answers.
Tuesday came and went with no word, then Wednesday, and Thursday. Nothing by anyone! Of course his is a small town and I learned from his wife that two of his friends were missing as well! Camping trip maybe?
Friday, I got the call....
He was in Las Vegas - oh dear!
He had been at the Sunday night concert massacre!
In trying to escape, he and his friends were targeted.
Both of the friends died instantly.
He lost it and had to be sedated.
They released him Thursday night.
So, prayers for him would be appreciated.
And though horrible, especially with survivors guilt, I am glad he lived ....
I never met his friends.
Then last night my youngest God-daughter made me stew and brought it over!
I have not seen her in nine years.
She is much troubled, or at least was.
She has grown into an admirable young lady!
So here is to hoping for no repeats in her lifetime!
So random,
So much in need of prayer,
Gotta be a reason ......
