3 stars.

not so great.
not so terrible.
really not so great.

I’d rather not see this again in a hurry.

Excellent choice for characters, some better acting would be appreciated.
Johnny Depp did a good job.

…what to do on Tuesday? :\

Well.

Went to Vineyard again this morning. They had a guest speaker. Older woman with a very hard to listen voice (if that was only it, it would have been fine). The sermon well… if you can call it a sermon was in my definition to Dad afterwards: “full of crap” no joke. He rather agreed with me. I know you are meant to at least attempt to pick out the good bits (of which I struggled to do), Dad said his mind sieve was working hard, but the doctrine was screwed all over the place and woah no, bec was not impressed. Very tempted to walk out. I possibly reacted more strongly as some of it was entirely in a different field as some of the stuff we’ve been looking at in ‘college’ lately but mmmm. This is not to say I won’t go back, it was a guest speaker after all.

I caught up with Analise (at church) so that was good, she’s not coming tonight so it looks like It’ll just be Jess D, Jacqui and Me (maybe Nat) seeing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I wasn’t planning on going as we have already arranged to go see it on Tuesday with YITS people (it being cheap tuesday) I said no at first, but later thinking about it, decided I could be bothered wasting a bit of money to spend some more time with Jess – appreciative/friend value. So here’s bec doing a very unbec thing by spending money on a full price movie and, seeing the same movie twice. I do not like doing this – it had better be good.

For lunch we went to the Shepherds (old pastor/wife and three little kids) for lunch. Yum BBQ and other, Canadian desert (seeing as Deb’s from there) hence I got to hear more of Laura’s Canadian stories… funny how that works, you sister goes overseas and you hear not a whole lot until she’s telling people other than family months later.

Hmm… msn back tomorrow.
Before I fast again, I want to look into stuff a bit more. You really don’t ever hear a whole lot about fasting. I have some questions.

A day full of procrastination, I wrote and introduction that is all, even then it wasn’t very long.

At about 2:30pm Sam called me up for Jessmyn’s number – which I didn’t have. We contemplated the nuances (and here I think I’ve greatly abused the definiton of a word) of going to Youth Alive but changed or minds or actually just decided not to bother.

Instead she walked down, we took Job (the dog) for a walk and then went up to Morrison’s for afternoon tea.

We shared talk and lime and coconut tart. I was extremely pleased to be spending time with her outside of YITS and car travel. It’s been a fairly slow getting to know eachother, considering it’ almost been four years.

Sam is beautifully easy going, laughs a lot, is encouraging, willing to talk and has some of the spontenaity which I lack – that saying, I have some of the descision making ability she lacks. It works well.

I felt free enough to ask her what’s life like (deeper implications) knowing very well if you ask that question you can expect it back. We spent almost 2hrs up there. The nicest Saturday afternoon I’ve spent with a friend in quite a while. Thank you God.
(and thank you Sam – for when you eventually get back on your computer).

I had a fairly disturbing dream last night about Monica stuff. I was in the dream, not just an external. Mind’s produce some dark images when unattended. I remember only enough of an unfamiliar setting, a less familiar time and a running/hiding to get away from him/them. Then I later dreamt I was telling/knowing I had dreamt that. Mirror to mirror curiosity.
I want to talk to her as soon as Monday comes.

an article on brides of Christ

I was entirely impressed.

I am sick of the superficial ‘Jesus is my boyfriend’ business.
I have never really ‘gotten’ the Jesus as a lover aspect.

I am currently reading The Sacred Romance of which I think treats it fairly well, however too many people take things far too literally.

Knowing God is important, moving towards this is right.

The Bible is not a love letter.

maybe it’s the difference between sacred romance and sacred infatuation…

interesting article on kissing

…there that made you click didn’t it?
