Guns and tears ...

I have never before been so upset by the pure evil and violence in a movie as I was last night. Janelle and I went to our free movie premiere for Running Scared with Paul Walker. I really had no idea what the movie was about and Krista told me it was supposed to be a great movie about dog-sledding. I kept waiting for him to turn from violence and heal his soul in dog-sleeding ... I was confused ... I was expecting dogs and beautiful scenery. I kept looking at Janelle like "where are the dogs" ... she kept looking at me like "I thought you said there were dogs". I spend half the movie hidden behind my hand. I would not consider myself skidish either. At the climax of violence and evil I actually started to cry, not tear-up, cry. People were clapping ... I did'nt understand that. Walking out of the theatre we really did not know what to say so I said "Thanks for the lovely evening!?!?" and we parted ways to drive home in shock and in more snow than I have seen all winter.

I am doing my best to find the good things in my life and cherish them. I love deeply. I laugh hard (so hard I sometimes snort). I still dream and believe that dreams are meant to be followed. I try to depend on God. I have so much to learn. I hope.
