I don’t know much about Jennifer Lawrence. I know even less about Kristen Stewart. But their names seem to be popping up everywhere lately. From what I can tell, everyone seems to adore the former and not care as much about the latter. I wonder: is it possible for Lawrence […]
The love for equals is a human thing–of friend for friend, brother for brother. It is to love what is loving and lovely. The world smiles. The love for the less fortunate is a beautiful thing–the love for those who suffer, for those who are poor, the sick, the failures, […]
Beauty and the Beast came out in 1991 – two years after The Little Mermaid. Here is the backstory for those unfamiliar: Once upon a time, in a faraway land, a young prince lived in a shining castle. Although he had everything his heart desired, the prince was spoiled, selfish, […]
After polling my friends, searching more than a handful of libraries, and combing every used movie store I’m aware of, I finally found a copy of The Little Mermaid. But here is the best part: it was being sold for only … $42.49! Yes, that is a 4 and a […]
Snow White (1937) and Cinderella (1950) have already been taken care of, which brings us to Sleeping Beauty (1959). So far, I’ve been impressed with how well these movies hold up after all these years. Let’s see if Sleeping Beauty can keep that trend going. 1:00 – A song about […]
In order to rent this movie, I drove to one of three remaining Blockbuster videos in the state of Massachusetts. When I got there, I learned of a Disney “vault” where apparently Disney only re-releases certain movies every so often and even then only puts a limited amount of copies […]
I just finished a few days with my 5-year old niece. We spent a lot of time talking about one of her favorite subjects and soon to be mine: Princesses! As we discussed this fascinating topic, I realized that I am woefully inadequate in my Princess knowledge. So, I did […]
I picked my buddy up at the airport tonight. Unfortunately for both of us, I had the wrong airport. One thing you notice when you’re waiting to pick someone up – especially when you’re at the wrong airport – is a number of people who aren’t the person you are trying to […]
If you try to have faith, you will be attacked by doubts you never knew you were capable of. But you keep on believing, even if you fall, even if you struggle with doubts, you keep on believing. And if you live a life that is marked by hope, by […]
But I’m here to say to you this morning that some things are right and some things are wrong. Eternally so, absolutely so. It’s wrong to hate. It always has been wrong and it always will be wrong. It’s wrong in America, it’s wrong in Germany, it’s wrong in Russia, it’s wrong in China. It was wrong in 2000 B.C., and it’s wrong in 1954 A.D. It always has been wrong, (That’s right!) and it always will be wrong. (That’s right!) It’s wrong to throw our lives away in riotous living. No matter if everybody in Detroit is doing it, it’s wrong. It always will be wrong, and it always has been wrong. It’s wrong in every age, and it’s wrong in every nation. Some things are right, and some things are wrong, no matter if everybody is doing the contrary. Some things in this universe are absolute. The God of the universe has made it so. And so long as we adopt this relative attitude toward right and wrong, we’re revolting against the very laws of God himself.
– Martin Luther King, Jr.
