<\/a><\/div>\n
I confess that my kids are out of town w\/Grandma and Grandpa for a few days. I confess that I rarely worry about the safety of my children, except when they are in someone else\u2019s care. I confess that used to struggle to understand how people could be consumed with worry or fear\u2026 and then I had children.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I confess that June 24th<\/sup> Aaron Sorkin\u2019s new show The Newsroom<\/i> starts airing on HBO. I confess that I really want HBO now. I confess that having HBO would be very bad for me, as it would only increase the amount of time I waste watching television. The last time I got HBO was so I could watch the Hanks\/Spielberg miniseries The Pacific<\/i>, which was not great.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I confess that I am a NASCAR fan, and that this makes no sense in the context of the rest of my life. I confess that despite wanting to watch the race yesterday, I only watched a few 5 minutes segments and then the final 40 laps.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I confess that I went to see The Avengers<\/i> last night and it was awesome. It\u2019s one of the few movies I\u2019ve seen lately for which the actual experience really lived up to the hype. I confess that I was disturbed by the number of 3-6 year old kids who were in the theater for the show. Does that seem young to anyone else? I confess that I hate my own tendency to judge other parents for any reason whatsoever\u2026 so I confess that last question was lame. It\u2019s hard enough to love your kids and try to be a good mom or dad w\/out someone passing judgment on your decisions.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I confess that I also saw Salmon Fishing in the Yemen<\/i>, (Katie S. if you are reading this\u2026 the \u201cthe\u201d is correctly placed J<\/span>) and as much as I would like to really slam it \u2013 \u00a0I have to admit that it was a decent movie. Granted, I had nearly everything that was going to happen in the movie \u00a0figured out within the first 5 minutes. But there was something about the sympathetic Arabian Sheik that I was drawn to. It\u2019s worth watching. Plus it\u2019s at Glenwood & I really want people to support the art theaters.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I confess that my 2nd<\/sup> book Public <\/span>Jesus<\/a><\/i> will be released on this coming Friday. I confess that I really hope people will read it and interact with some of these ideas. I confess that I could have never written this book w\/out Redemption Church\u2019s support and the freedom they give me to try and speak truthfully about the world we live in and the gospel that is drawing us toward the future of God.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I confess that I\u2019m praying for the folks from\u00a0<\/div>\n
