3-D Movies?

"You saw the first one! You saw the second one!! Now its time to see Step... Up... 3... D!!!!!"
Honestly. I have some serious questions to ask the person that decided to make movies in 3-D. Don't you??

Well, mine are mostly centered towards the people actually putting these in 3-D.

Why are you doing this? Why are you using horrible music? Why are you making a simple dance flick so "big?" How are you going to make it interesting for people not watching it in 3-D?

Basically, they can be summed up into one question though:

"WHY???"

It honestly kind of scares me that people can't stand watching movies in 2-D. If you want to see a movie in 3-D, find it in play form and watch it live.
But, you can't do that, can you? I mean that IS the way they used to do things. We would be digressing wouldn't we?


My thoughts as I heard the silly commercial for this 3-D movie on the radio in the car. Maybe someone agrees?

Earth, Wind, and God?

At JYMO last week I took an eye opening workshop. It was called "Earth, Wind, and God?" It was my absolute favorite workshop of the week. Some would say it "changed" the way I see things, but I would say it added to the way I view things. I learned that I hate the way many Americans treat our planet.
Why do so many of us not care?
Of Earth's 6 billion people only 7% are from the United States.
Of those 7% are using 22% of the resources.
Does any one else think this is completely ridiculous or is it just me?
Why does no one care?
At the rate we are going there won't be any thing left for our grand children.
If this idiocy continues what will happen to us?
Are those ten people in that class the only ones that care?

Genesis 1:1-31 (The Message)

Genesis 1

Heaven and Earth

^1-2First this: God created the Heavens and Earth—all you see, all you don't see. Earth was a soup of nothingness, a bottomless emptiness, an inky blackness. God's Spirit brooded like a bird above the watery abyss.

^3-5 God spoke: "Light!"
And light appeared.
God saw that light was good
and separated light from dark.
God named the light Day,
he named the dark Night.
It was evening, it was morning—
Day One.

^6-8 God spoke: "Sky! In the middle of the waters;
separate water from water!"
God made sky.
He separated the water under sky
from the water above sky.
And there it was:
he named sky the Heavens;
It was evening, it was morning—
Day Two.

^9-10 God spoke: "Separate!
Water-beneath-Heaven, gather into one place;
Land, appear!"
And there it was.
God named the land Earth.
He named the pooled water Ocean.
God saw that it was good.

^11-13 God spoke: "Earth, green up! Grow all varieties
of seed-bearing plants,
Every sort of fruit-bearing tree."
And there it was.
Earth produced green seed-bearing plants,
all varieties,
And fruit-bearing trees of all sorts.
God saw that it was good.
It was evening, it was morning—
Day Three.

^14-15 God spoke: "Lights! Come out!
Shine in Heaven's sky!
Separate Day from Night.
Mark seasons and days and years,
Lights in Heaven's sky to give light to Earth."
And there it was.

^16-19 God made two big lights, the larger
to take charge of Day,
The smaller to be in charge of Night;
and he made the stars.
God placed them in the heavenly sky
to light up Earth
And oversee Day and Night,
to separate light and dark.
God saw that it was good.
It was evening, it was morning—
Day Four.

^20-23 God spoke: "Swarm, Ocean, with fish and all sea life!
Birds, fly through the sky over Earth!"
God created the huge whales,
all the swarm of life in the waters,
And every kind and species of flying birds.
God saw that it was good.
God blessed them: "Prosper! Reproduce! Fill Ocean!
Birds, reproduce on Earth!"
It was evening, it was morning—
Day Five.

^24-25 God spoke: "Earth, generate life! Every sort and kind:
cattle and reptiles and wild animals—all kinds."
And there it was:
wild animals of every kind,
Cattle of all kinds, every sort of reptile and bug.
God saw that it was good.

^26-28 God spoke: "Let us make human beings in our image, make them
reflecting our nature
So they can be responsible for the fish in the sea,
the birds in the air, the cattle,
And, yes, Earth itself,
and every animal that moves on the face of Earth."
God created human beings;
he created them godlike,
Reflecting God's nature.
He created them male and female.
God blessed them:
"Prosper! Reproduce! Fill Earth! Take charge!
Be responsible for fish in the sea and birds in the air,
for every living thing that moves on the face of Earth."

^29-30 Then God said, "I've given you
every sort of seed-bearing plant on Earth
And every kind of fruit-bearing tree,
given them to you for food.
To all animals and all birds,
everything that moves and breathes,
I give whatever grows out of the ground for food."
And there it was.

³¹ God looked over everything he had made;
it was so good, so very good!
It was evening, it was morning—
Day Six.

God created everything. We should use that simple fact to think about our futures.
