my new dawn

health, happiness & humor

the astronomer

the astronomer

searching through
the night

the astronomer
peers

into the outermost
deep

pulsing orbs
exploding lights

the ends of the
universe reach

below the observatory
all are asleep

in unlit homes

dreaming dreams
that meet

beyond the
farthest star

schools of scandal

I ran across 2 articles today related to education and gays

BOTH in California, of course

first – a gay teenage boy is voted his high school’s prom queen

second – a school board has imposed a MANDATORY homosexual cirriculum for children from kindergarten to 5th grade

As far as the prom queen goes – we see how far we’ve come as a society, I suppose, when a boy can be queen

boys can be girls and girls can be boys – why not?

but I guess I’m just a CONSERVATIVE dinosaur – I mean I’m so old-fashioned that I actually think women should NEVER have been allowed to be soldiers in the military

i wonder what self-respecting man would allow a woman to fight to defend and protect her country’s honor and freedom – not to mention her own honor and life?

i THOUGHT that was a MAN’s JOB

perhaps we have had some “queens” already amongst our political leadership for some time now to have allowed that age old role reversal

as for teaching our kindergarten students about how gay families are just another kind of ‘NORMAL’ family structure -

I guess I’m old-fashioned there, too

I have no problem with gay people living out their chosen lifestyle in peace and safety, BUT…

I do NOT like the OVERT ATTACK on the GOD-ORDAINED DEFINITION of a FAMILY

it should NEVER happen in a REPUBLIC under the AUTHORITY of GOD (i.e. the USA) that the definition of a family should EVER be tampered with

ESPECIALLY with the HEARTS and MINDS of our YOUNGEST and most IMPRESSIONABLE citizens – our children

BUT that’s how the devil does it – as I have said before – THE dEVIL is our common enemy – and he, being the snake that he is, goes after the children because they are our future

and a future constructed by the evil one will NOT be bright and gay

Happy Birthday Stevie!

Note: My son is a HUGE Stevie Nicks fan. Her music is played so much in the house it’s like she’s part of the family.

night at the museum

My review of Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian

It’s worth seeing…not as good as the original, but worth seeing

On paper it SHOULD be a better movie than the original. There’s more action, more romance, more interesting characters. But that’s just the problem. There’s so much more of EVERYTHING, that the movie loses its focus.

Larry Daley (played by Ben Stiller) is supposed to be unhappy with life even though he became a successful inventor and corporate CEO since the first movie, but there aren’t any scenes to support that premise.

Also, Amy Adams portrayal of Amelia Earhart seemed a llittle too over the top for me – like Katie Couric on speed. And considering the fact that her character had never met Larry Daley, it seems a bit contrived how quickly her character becomes attached to him and his mission.

Kudos to Hank Azaria as the character, Kahmunrah. He stole the show with his highly original and convincing performance as an Egyptian pharoah who could be very evil and very funny at the same time. The movie would have been much better if it had given Mr. Azaria more to do, but he certainly made the best of it.

A final note: check your brain at the theatre concession stand, because there’s no way to explain how so much mayhem and destruction can occur in a national museum without even a single guard taking the slightest notice

2.5 stars

Note: no nudity, mild violence, only one instance of mild cursing

feminine modesty

“…in like manner also the women, in becoming apparel, with modesty and sobriety to adorn themselves, not in braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or garments of great price,”

1 Timothy 2:9

As the weather warms up, there are plenty of great Christian clothing stores to help Christian women dress modestly as God commands.

last chance harvey

my wife rented the movie “Last Chance Harvey” and we thoroughly enjoyed watching it

Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson were wonderful on screen together

why am I reviewing this movie on a Christian blog you may ask?

well, for one, God is a big fan of romance between men and women – He invented it!

and two, this movie has NO cursing, nudity, violence or fornication

how rare is that nowadays in a movie?

if you haven’t seen this film yet, go rent it and enjoy
