A few noteworthy things:
"Unbroken" is a must read. I'm hoping that the film does it justice, and the powerful message of Christ's healing is extremely evident as it was in Zamperini's life.
Don't miss Trey Goudy as he addresses Gruber on C-Span. I'm sure you saw links to it today.
Ed's chemo went great today. Thanks for praying!
Our young friend canoeing down the Mississippi is having quite the adventure. That's his story, not mine, but it is amazing. His dad stopped by tonight to visit.
I just placed a large order from Caryl Matrisciana, the lovely Englishwoman who grew up in India, now filmmaker. Her DVD's and books are excellent. Let me know if you want me to lend them to you. Better yet, order from her and give her materials to someone for Christmas.
Another bad crash occurred in a very familiar location for me. Disturbing. Two weeks ago a young man suffered a fatal car crash injury across the street from our driveway. Today a head-on collision occurred in the small town where I grew up. Somehow these events are so jarring, as you experience them, even if you didn't know the victims personally.
I started a new blog featuring some of my art stuff. Click on my profile to find it. It's fun to find time for creativity again.
Thank you for keeping up with us here!

From Ray Comfort's Facebook page:
A new movie is coming out on Christmas Day called “Unbroken.” It’s the true story of Olympian and World War II veteran, Louis Zamperini, who was able to extend forgiveness to his captors because he was a Christian.
Apparently, Hollywood was able to make the whole movie with hardly a mention of the reason for his love--his faith in God.
My friend Steve Sanchez saved me having to endure the movie. He went
for review purposes and said, "Saw 'Unbroken.' Needs fixin'. Apart from
them using Jesus' name in vain, there is no mention of Him. The only
reference to his faith was at the end, and this was only as a footnote."
Shame on any Christian who sits through a movie that uses the precious Name of Jesus as a substitute for a filth word (Steve excluded).
After seeing the nutty "Noah" movie earlier this year (for review purposes) I noticed something that takes place when Hollywood's faith-based films hit the screen:
Bob to Fred: “I went to see that movie that they said was bad. It’s bad. Totally unbiblical.”
Next day. Fred to Bob: “Last night I went to see that movie you said was bad. It’s really bad. Horrible. Unbiblical.”
When we go to movies that pervert scripture, we empower and encourage Hollywood. Money at the box office is a big pat on their godless backs.
After hearing that some friends (who knew the "Noah" movie was horrible) went to see it, I thought, “You’re giving money to Hollywood!” But I didn't have to say anything to them. During the movie there was a large earthquake and they made a hurried mass exodus out of the theater. No kidding.
Speaking of a mass exodus, Hollywood’s "Exodus" comes out on Friday. I will go to see it then give you a review.
If they include forty-foot monsters sucking up the Red Sea so that the children of Israel can pass through it, I will tell you that it’s bad. Really bad. And you can then go and see it so that you can tell your friends it’s bad (the title already annoys me).
