Sox, Joker, Video, & Mel

Just a few quick things. First up, I have posted pictures from our (my sister and brother-in-law) trip to Fenway Park. Very cool place to see. Hope to be able to go to a game there someday. Fenway is not like ballparks/stadiums that I am used to seeing. Normally there is a huge parking lot and lots of open space. This, however, was just right in the big middle of everything. Lots of cool restaurants and shops all around it. Click here to see the rest.

Also, I read yesterday that Brokeback Mountain star Heath Ledger will be playing The Joker in the next Batman film. Would love to know your thoughts on this. Is this good casting or a big mistake? Leave a comment and let me know what you think.


I have also added two new films to the Video Clips section. These were made by my talented friend Josiah. He has a real creative mind and I think a bright film future ahead of him. Not bad since he just entering his senior year of high school. One film is titled "The incrediball" and th other is "The Chase". They are probably only a few minutes each so check them out.

Finally, I have a note regarding all this talk and judgment people are placing on Mel Gibson. What he did was wrong and a horrible mistake. But which of you can say you have never sinned/done something wrong? Who among us can honestly look back over their entire life and say that we have never done or said something we regret? No one is perfect. Not even those who are believers in Jesus. Becoming a believer does not mean that that person's life will be perfect and sin free. Mel Gibson made a mistake, admitted it (something most of us have a problem doing), asked for forgiveness (even more difficult than admitting) and has taken several other steps to fix his problem through rehab and what-not. Some of these people in Hollywood and elsewhere who are saying he should be 'kicked out of Hollywood' (funny considering what other people are doing there) and that he shouldn't be forgiven...well I can't say much about them. Many are probably unsaved and therefore do not know any better. It pains me though when I hear Christians saying the above statements. We do know better. Colossians 3:13 teaches that we are to "bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you." We as Christians are to forgive one another. Plain and simple. This is about as straight forward as it can get. Jesus suffered greatly and died so that we may be forgiven of all our wrong doings. Seems like it should be pretty easy for us to forgive someone, especially a person we have never met. Hope everyone is enjoying their final months of summer.

Enjoy the pictures and videos.
