Saturday and Sunday Activities July 26-27, 2008

Well, this week it was Saturday that Todd had duty, so Yvonne and I just relaxed.

Sunday she made scallopped potatoes with ham for dinner and bannana nut bread and ice cream for dessert.

After dinner we did something a little different. We watched a movie called Another Perfect Stranger. It is the sequel to another film called The Perfect Stranger.

So, let me ask you a question. Have you ever wondered what Jesus would look like if He were to come to earth today? How He would interact with people in 2008?

Both films, are based on the book Dinner with a Perfect Stranger by David Gregory. In the first film a skeptical lawyer (Pamela Brumley) has a conversation with a stranger (Jefferson Moore) who claims to be Jesus of Nazareth. In the discussion that follows, they touch on a range of thought-provoking topics, including the meaning of life, the accuracy of the Bible and the divinity of Jesus Christ. In this second film the story picks up ten years later as the lawyer's daughter, Sarah (Ruby Marie Lewis), is debating whether to attend art school. On her way to look over the campus, she befriends a fellow traveler (Jefferson Moore) whose scorn for religion matches hers.

These two films will really get you thinking, both about how Jesus would present Himself if He were alive today, and about the issues that get raised during the conversations in the films. We rented them from Netflix. And I highly recommend them!
