"He who does not weep, does not see."

I don't normally plug movies, but I have to rave about this one for a minute. As many of you know in 2005 I went to Africa and had the most amazing trip. My heart has always been very sensitive to overseas missions and after my trip to Sierra Leone, it became even more sensitive to not only that country, but to Africa as a whole. A few months ago I heard of a documentary called "God Grew Tired Of Us" that is about the lost boys of Sudan. It was an AMAZING movie. I actually just checked it out at the library, but I would have spent money on it too. It was a very poignant story following the lives of three particular individuals as they struggle through life in a refugee camp for over ten years and are then transitioned to life in the states, all the while missing 'home' and worrying about what has come to those they love. It was a very moving story, one that made me laugh and cry (obviously!). I urge you to check it out--you won't be sorry!

So You Think You Can Dance

This last Sunday Stacy and I went to see So You Think You Can Dance live. We had a lot of fun watching our favorite routines and getting in on the action. I wasn't the pre-teen that I had turned into when I went to see American Idol live last summer, but it was great nonetheless. If we would have had closer seats who knows what would have happened!! Stacy posted a bunch of pictures of the night on her blog that you can check out, but I wanted to post a couple of videos of my favorite performances. The first was a routine done by Tabitha and Napoleon and the second was the top 16 group routine done by Mia Michaels, who is extremely eccentric and extremely extraordinary. Enjoy!

Oprah's Religion

I was at our Young Life Bible study tonight and I was chatting with a couple of girls afterwards. We somehow ended up on the topic of different religions and one of the girls asked me if I had heard anything about Oprah and how she's basically started her own religion and has all of these followers (like 2 million). I have always liked Oprah for the most part and was a little surprised when I heard this, but I went home and googled it and was a little shocked at what I saw. She is very much into New Age and Spirituality and is leading millions of people astray with her words. I encourage you all to take a look at this. It's amazing to me what influence one person can have over so many...
