Lil' Star Wars
Saw this on two blogs today (my buddy Adam's blog, and Jeffrey Overstreet's blog)
This is the type of education we need in our pre-schools.

Harry Potter 7 Release Party
This past summer, Lindsey and I went to watch the Harry Potter madness when the final book was released. Here is what we discovered.

Stuff you just need to know about.
A friend of mine, Adam, has done a great job providing some coverage of the WGA (Writers Guild of America) strike taking place right now.
I agree with Adam that this is an important thing to have knowledge about. When one looks at this situation, a strike seems like the only option to the mistreatment that talented writers have been receiving for years.
Let's hope this thing can be resolved soon...
Here is a link Adam found that provides a good summary of the whole strike.

"The War"--Post viewing thoughts
Lindsey and I just spent one month watching Ken Burn's documentary, "The War" over a period of about 16 hours. I can't say this about many things that I've watched, but I have to say that I have had a major mindset change after watching this documentary. We spent 16 hours listening to story after story after story of soldiers, husbands, wives, children, neighbors, and newspaper reporters giving their personal accounts of World War II.So, why was my watching this such a life shaping event? I was reminded of the great need to listen to others. Before watching "The War" I had respect for veterans, and for people who lived through this situation, but I did not have a "profound" respect for them. It was more of a distant appreciation. Now, after listening to these families share their experiences, I feel like I have a deeper understanding of how HUGE "The War" was and how this season in history dramatically changed millions of lives.
From now on, I am aiming to have a deeper understanding of historical events. This takes time and effort, but it is worth it. In the same way, I am also challenged to listen to others that I personally encounter with the goal of having a deeper empathy, as opposed to having a distant appreciation of their situation.
Who knew all that would come from watching a documentary?!

i'm learning
Our movie of the moment is "The War", a Ken Burns Film.
This documentary is about World War II and the effects that it had on four American towns. Luverne, Minnesota - Sacramento, California - Mobile, Alabama - Waterbury, Connecticut.
The film takes a closer look at individuals from these towns and how the war affected each of them and their communities.
Jonathan and I are not completely finished with the film (it will take a couple of days watching it here and there), but it's been educational for me. I think that I pretty much zoned out during history class throughout school, so in some ways I'm learning this all for the first time.
Before watching this, my thoughts on WWII went straight to The Holocaust and Hitler - but now I have knowledge about different battles that were fought, racism throughout the world that went on, and to me most importantly - how it affected the individuals that were involved.
This film has given me a desire to watch other documentaries and read literature about historical events.
Anyway - it's a good thing....and i'm feeling smarter :)

Remembering "The Pav"
No matter how cliche this song may be, Pavarotti's performances are ones that
can take any song and make it sound incredible.
I am thankful for recordings such as these that will preserve the
God given talent that Luciano Pavarotti had.
