Going All In

Tonight I did my second-to-last message in a series called, “Going All In”.

01
I’ve been working closely with my youth pastor buddy, Jason Denniston as we are both preaching this series at the same time for our respective youth groups. We starting with merely the same topic and main idea and building two completely different messages each week, chatting as we prepare and phoning each other after we’ve taught the lesson.

It’s been going fairly well, though it’s definitely stretching my personal sermon-preparing skills and stamina. Next week will finish off the series and then we’ll enjoy a BOX Christmas Party on the following week.

Good times last night at the District Christmas Banquet.

Took some pictures. (of course)

Here’s a taste of the full photoset (available by clicking here)

Dear Discovery Channel,

Your new show, Man vs. Wild is a joke. Yes, a joke. In your new show, “Bear” (is that even his real name?) goes to remote locations with a full camera crew attempting to show us survival skills.

What in the world inspired you to replace Survivorman with Man vs. Wild? I miss Stroud’s REAL-LIFE survival show where HE was the camera crew and HE was much more the “average” survivor. Bear is to “pretty” and skilled in all things wilderness to teach us “average” folks how to survive real-life situations.

So, I’m asking you to consider another season of Survivorman (if you’re already working on this, please let us know)!

Sincerely,

Stevan Sheets

PS – about that camera crew that follows Bear on “Man vs. Wild” – could you please give us some inside or “behind the scenes” to help qualm some of us who bicker over how many there must be and how they work with Bear?

movie_06.jpgOn this wonderful day-off, Jess and I enjoyed our latest borrowed movie – Pixar’s “Cars”.

Firstly, let me just again comment at just how amazing computer-generated movies are becoming. The continual shots of life-likeness throughout the movie made my eyes happy.

What didn’t make me happy about “Cars” is that it was again disappointing to realize that phrases like “Hillbilly Hell”, “heck”, and “darn” are making their way into Children’s movies and will only get more and more liberal as time continues – therefore making me nervous about the future of movie-watching with my daughter! The suggested “pissed in a cup” mention, too, made me cringe. Why do the writers of such movies feel the need to add these bits of “humor” (as THEY call it, not me)?
