Hi carlo3b---how are you?

I bought two advance tickets for this Thursday. I NEVER go to the movies....I can't remember the last movie I saw in a theatre. Can't stand the talking, loud chewing of popcorn, etc.

I'm happy to say that although I have to travel 90 minutes to see it (that was the only one available when I bought my tickets), the movie is now playing at theatres all around me!

One thing that has bugged me is how some people are distorting what Mel said about the Holy Spirit working thru him. I think people that understand what that means KNOW that it does NOT mean that you are deserving, or special, or that you have some special communication with God. It means that God can choose to work thru the most undeserving person, a fallible, fallen person, using what talents you might have to create something transcendent. In other words, to write straight with crooked lines (a portuguese proverb).

Their words will be drowned out now that millions of viewers have the facts.. However it won't stop the opportunists from their agenda.. It's truly a time to rejoice..

God doesn't just have the ability to choose, he does choose to work through people.....every single person in the world.

Even the wicked are used of God for his purposes.
