9/11 Concert Of Prayer – Redondo Beach Union High School
Chris Everyone’s been impacted by what happened 10 years ago Psalm 46 V. 10-11 especially We have gathered here tonight to pray, remember, heal Pastor Kirk Don Can’t believe it’s been 10 years I had a chance to go to New York and minister to some first responders and people who were there I remember being devastated by the destruction Jesus and Pilate, you too will perish unless you repent It’s easy to point at evil in the world, but God always calls us to our own hearts Psalm 51 (create in me a clean heart O God) Doug I haven’t written anything down be I’m going to speak from the heart My nephew Kenneth Rice was among the first casualties when the plane struck the north tower He was working on IT stuff and normally didn’t work there, but that morning they were all called in for a meeting … Continue reading →

Paul Jon Tried to celebrate Shannon’s birthday yesterday by going to the beach, but it rained, so we sat in a group and sang songs It’s hard dealing with all the emotions involved in remembering this day As we move through tonight, contemplate what our nation has walked through and what we’ve gone through as Christians And I think about the teachings of Jesus Christ My thinking changed on this day Do not become the evil that is done to you, turn the other cheek Lord’s Prayer Paul Sterling Psalm 4 Katie Keating Psalm 27 Anna Warde Isaiah 61 Stephen Keating I was thinking about tragedies Hurricanes on the East Coast, fires in Texas If we’re not careful, we try and put meaning on it and talking for God instead of listening Look at Job, the three men looking for meaning and they’re wrong Ecclesiastics God doesn’t point fingers, this … Continue reading →
A Southern Exposure – Little Fish Theatre, San Pedro, CA
Great fun! I came to the show for Cindy Shields and really enjoyed this heart-rending tale of a grandmother, her sisters and their relationship with her rebellious granddaughter.
Transformers: Dark Side Of The Moon – AMC 30 @ The Block, Orange, CA
The best Transformers movie yet. No seriously. I mean it. The first one had a lot of characters and things to introduce, but I stand firm in my belief that the film would have been monumentally better if Anthony Anderson and John Turturro’s roles were smaller. The second one was lots of fun with the 1920’s Transformers and I enjoyed the plot, but this one really takes the cake. First there’s no more Megan Fox. Second the story’s conspiracy angle has just enough for me to believe it. Third it’s got Alan Tudyk and he doesn’t get killed (damn you Joss Whedon!). All in all I had a fantastic time at this mind-numbing, action-packed blockbuster. Lenonard Nimoy returns to the Transformer universe! For those of you playing the home game, he voiced a souped up Megatron called Galvatron in The Transformers: The Movie (1986). I was really excited to get … Continue reading →

Paul Mike Prayer for offering Men’s Retreat coming up Oct. 7,8,9 Redondo Union High School is hosting a tribute for 9/11 around 7pm next Sunday Paul Communion Rob Acts 9 Jon Christianity is something that takes us up Philippians 4:12-23 He goes from this violent zealot who understands everything Some kind of power converted him Is that how conversion is supposed to be? Cuz mine wasn’t that sparkly Last week the Ethiopian fisherman had a simple conversion There are some commonalities Up until this point, Saul had a very good idea of who God was A couple of chapters ago, Stephen said we don’t need the temple or the rituals Rubbed Saul the wrong way, sounded like absolutely blasphemy First question when Saul meets Jesus? Who are you? Saul had a lot of Bible knowledge and understanding He was still deeply unsettled and restless I need something greater than my … Continue reading →

Paul (Worthy Is The Lamb Who Was Slain) (Mighty And Strong To Save) (Tell Me The Story Of) Jon Acts 6-8 Background before we talk about Stephen The church has experienced a lot of growth and excitement One of their leaders is about to be murdered and it changes everything the apostles have received threats, but nothing further until now This scatters the church of Jerusalem to the four winds Acts 2 and Pentecost God revealed His plan of renewing and restoring the world Christianity flourishes amongst persecution and punishment Tom Bohlinger Acts 6:8-15 Jon Want to ask a question of us as a community Do we have the characteristics of Stephen? What would people say about me in 4 words? And what would they say about this community? V. 8 says Stephen is full of grace and power Speaking with authority = power If Jesus is somebody that speaks … Continue reading →
The Princess Bride by William Goldman
The Princess Bride S. Morgenstern’s Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure The ‘good parts’ version Abridged by William Goldman Author of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid Started: some time after Jenny’s birthday party (Aug 2011) Finished: shortly afterwards I’m fairly certain that I liked the book a great deal more than the movie (at least my many fractured viewings of the movie), but I do have to give them credit for doing some incredibly interesting things and creating a great cult film.
