“Good luck with that.” That’s what my wife said after we watched The Bourne Ultimatum last night and she knew that I had to write a message on the movie this week in our God at the Movies Series. Actually she said, “Good luck with that. Why don’t you make the students who chose that movie write the message.”

I can see where she is coming from cuz there’s not a ton of dialogue in this film and much of what is there is chopped up or even whispered, so finding the right clips will be some work, but I’ve got some good notes.

I think I’ll go along the lines of dealing with our past, searching to find our true identity in Christ, and probably touch on forgiveness. I think we should teach students how to defend yourself with your bare hands, how to make a fake passport, and how to survive a massive car crash almost completely unscathed too.

Hopefully it won’t feel like a big stretch, but instead a God-sized Ah Ha moment. Not exactly your classic mother’s day message though for sure!

The internal speakers on my Mac died this week. Suck. I have no time to get this fixed. I’m soundless unless I have ear buds or external speakers plugged in. Bummer.

My 150 GB hard drive is almost full. Everyday I have to dump something to keep space available. It think I’ll have to delete some big thing I don’t use often and just keep a back up somewhere else. But the boy scout in me is certain that I’ll end up somewhere and surely need what I don’t have with me. Oh well.

Here’s the line up for high school which we kicked of this morning- went super good with a live cover of the song “Anyone Else But You” by the Moldy Peaches. So good.

I came home today to find out that it only took 10 days for our passports to arrive. Sweet.

We’re good to go. I heard someone say that the turn around time is quick because we are having China make them. If that’s true, there is something seriously wrong and weird with that idea on multiple levels. What’s the point of paying other countries to make our passports so we can visit their country. That’s crazy.

Either way, everyone now has one. One more Uganda detail now behind us.

Last night I had to go to seminary class. Shannon called me and told me that she and the boys were going to go find free ice cream from Ben and Jerry’s on free scoop day. I said sounds like fun, but I gotta go to class. That sucks.

Anyway, I came home and Shannon told me I needed to talk to my boys. I asked, “Why?”. She said because of the conversation in the car on the way to ice cream that followed Jake’s learning about farm animals in kindergarten this week. Here’s how it went:

JAKE: Mommy, did you know that only mommy cows have udders?

MOM: Yes. They feed their babies with the milk from them.

JAKE: Only mommies can give their babies milk?

MOM: Yes… (more talk about Udders and boobies and feeding babies and stuff followed this line of thinking for a while evidently and caused Jake to proclaim…)

JAKE: Mommy cows don’t have pee pees.

MOM: No they don’t.

JAKE: Does that mean you don’t have a pee pee Mommy?

MOM: No, I don’t.

JAKE: After clearly a confusing barrage of thoughts raced through his head, he asked, “Were do you go pee? Does it come out the same hole you go poop?”

MOM: No, um I have a different spot for that. You should talk to your dad I think.
