Whenever I want to write a blog, I usually want to give an update, which for me usually means telling you about the homework that lays ahead.

What is with that, why is homework, school, what I tell you about.

Why not my friendships, or my church, or Chapel, and what I am learning and/or what God is teaching me.

Like check this one out: This week we had Becky Fisher,(pictured above) the director of the camp of Jesus Camp, the movie, as a Chapel speaker this week, it got us all talking, so we had to see Jesus Camp to see what it was all about.

She seemed fairly reasonable in Chapel, maybe a little too focused on Speaking in Tongues, and the gifts of the Spirit in general, but at least she was preaching that we should reach out to kids, something I really truly believe.

Anyways, that was Thursday at Chapel...Friday night we watched "Jesus Camp," knowing full well that it was coming from a "secular" political standpoint, what I found was;
-They were building an Army to "take back America for God"
-They focused on Speaking in Tongues
-Everything this film showed was about "you, (as in the Children) doing this and you need to do that" I kept commenting, "what about Jesus changing us"
-the children were really "seeking the Lord"
-I'm not sure if they understood what they were doing, but it is possible
-Becky and many of the staff love love love President Bush
-Ted Hagart (however you spell that) is frightening to look at, He just has weird facial expressions
-the kids that the movie followed knew their stuff and seemed to really know God for themselves, but I can't accurately judge, seeing as I am not God.

Despite the view the movie took, I hope that not every service is so political.

I do know that God can work despite us.

it did look interesting and I suggested adding it to our netflix, but mom seemed uninterested.

God and Politics rarely intermingle well. The same could be said of God and Hollywood. They are about the two worldliest institutions I can think of. Its like Jesus in Greek Mythology, it doesn't make any sense.
