Superlatives

So I thought I'd have time to write. Then I went to Knoxville for a weekend and stayed a week. Ktown is like a black hole...only a good black...the kind that sucks you into wonderful times with lives transformed by a redeeming Savior. Anyways, in the midst of catching up on articles for the ET, I thought I'd leave you with a few "bests of the week" that I've encountered in the Orange Country.





1. Best Book to Read


"Sex God"


Despite the fact that the title makes it seem like it should be placed in the back corner of a video store and that the cover looks like it came straight from the sample strips at a paint store, this is one of the best books I've read so far. Rob Bell has produced some amazing videos and his book is no less of quality as he explores the relationship between sexuality and spirituality. He examines our society's multi-level lack of connectedness and how that affects our relationships with each other and our Savior.





2.Best Movie to Watch


La Vita E Bella


Not only will you have a chance to practice Italian (or discover that Italian is very similar to Spanish) and learn fun phrases like "Boungiorno Principesa," you'll also be treated to a heartwarming story that takes place during World War II.





3.Best thing to do on a Friday night


Jam with friends


You could make the sweet substance that goes well with English muffins, or you could grab a group of friends, a handful of instruments and a few random pieces of music and let the fun begin. I suggest doing this behind closed doors unless you have crutches or some other disability which might justify a novice attempt at panhandling on the streets of the nearest medium-sized city.



(If none of those options sound appealing, hug your favorite fish. Cheers!)
