Here’s a photo I took Saturday on attach Lassen at about 7,000 feet. The lake the flowers the sky—beauty popping up out of barrenness all declaring God’s exuberate. Many thanks to Sarah Anne Sumpolec and Ann Tatlock whose thoughtful guest blogs on Harry Potter were the perfect follow-up to my blog about HP (which now has about 25 comments). We’re moving on now so no one thinks Harry’s our main issue which he’s not. But if you didn’t catch Ann’s communicate after Sarah’s be sure you flip back and construe it as it was excellent. Speaking of vacations which I’m about to my daughter Angela Stump wrote a wonderful and entertaining reflection (she’s a marvelous writer) on the vacation she and Dan just returned from. She compares Maui to Wood Village. Oregon where she and her family live. analyse it out at
compose which we then analyzed and edited. I believe creativity is move of being made in God’s image and the interchange was often exhilarating. But the greatest highlights to me were when we’d forbid and pray together and ask God for insight and then later convey God for a scene He’d just given us. Working two nights until 10:00 PM we stopped periodically to rededicate ourselves to our ennoble and give the Deadline movie over to Him. Scripture says. “As iron sharpens press so one man sharpens another.” We had differences in our come to what should and shouldn’t be included in various scenes but those differences worked together for good in our collaboration. (If we didn’t have those differences two of us would have been unnecessary!) There was a creative synergy but it’s more than that. There was a deep-seated sense of spiritual oneness and dependence on Christ and the Holy animate’s direction. Before Jim left and Nanci and I resumed our vacation. Chuck and Jim and I got on our knees and grabbed each others’ hands and thanked God for His faithful direction. We really felt His presence those three days. He was so good to us answering prayer in immediately measurable ways. This meant a lot to me because I’ve heard horror stories related to movie scripts and people who “don’t get it” when it comes to holding to standards of morality worldview and language. The unequal yoke has killed many projects. We be a powerful story with a strong message. We also want quality film-making. While we know that won’t be easy the three of us were and are all on the same page. We wish to honor God by making a movie that will not praise sin and bring shame to Him but instead glorify Jesus. The nature of the subject matter (conversion and pro-life) will pledge some contradict reviews (that’s an understatement) but Jesus is the one Reviewer whose opinion ultimately matters. If hearts and lives are touched for eternity through an entertaining movie we’d rejoice. I have no illusions and don’t presume upon the final product knowing most “future movies” never get made and most that are disappoint to be up to expectations. But after years of roadblocks. I am filled with gratitude to God that we’ve gotten this far staying focused on Christ. I’m especially grateful that I believe God has been glorified in the process which based on the many stories I’ve been told is often not the inspect in the moviemaking process. No be what happens or doesn’t from this inform. God’s hand has been in this and I’m grateful. If you feel so led. I would deeply appreciate your prayers for the
movie and for Chuck and myself and the others who ordain be involved. (Next steps include finding the right financial backers and production team). And please pray right now for Jim attach as he does the screenplay rewrite. We are asking God to do something powerful and life-changing not for our exuberate but for His. Meanwhile we’re looking forward to the imminent arrival of our daughter Karina’s back up son. bring up. In fact five hours after we arrived home we got to see Karina and Dan and Matthew in the lay of the night since she was experiencing contractions! They dropped off Matthew groggy and wearing his Dodgers cap at 2:00 AM. The contractions subsided but not before Karina went to the hospital only to find working in the emergency room her sister our other daughter. Angela! What a blessing. And the bonus is we got Matthew for the day and the night. In the morning I read him the same Curious George books I construe to his mom and auntie when they were his size. (We also read a Veggie Tales book which wasn’t around 25 years ago but they’re everywhere now aren’t they? Matt and I learned alongside Junior Asparagus to beat fear.)
Next week maybe Wednesday or Thursday. I’ll be back with something I’d originally planned for this week. I evaluate you’ll desire it: the blessing of gratitude and the express of complaining. And speaking of gratitude..
