That will probably have to wait until it gets on TV, however. For I rarely leave the house, and the cost of seeing a movie these days would be prohibitive--even if I could get around.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349087080262856079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6794620494458886025.post-20699739848703431142010-01-26T15:30:46.480-06:002010-01-26T15:30:46.480-06:00Very interesting.

All the sex and violence has a very definite impact in my mind. <br /><br />Have you seen The Book of Eli yet? It's very very violent but I found it truly uplifting in the end. But I did close my eyes to some of the more horrible scenes. <br /><br />I really like your blog by the way. :)CastoCreationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634631986152757174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6794620494458886025.post-74948220919466259252010-01-26T00:11:49.111-06:002010-01-26T00:11:49.111-06:00Thanks for stopping by, my dear Tracy.

In my own case, I suppose it all depends upon how well it is done, and as was said in the text of this piece, this show is taking the sex and violence way too far.

I hear, and the only thing that keeps me from despairing all the more is that there is more going on in this world that comes to naturally meet our physical sight. Of course, that would also make reality all the more terrifying if the absolute truth of the matter wasn't that it will be as it should be in the end. For our Heavenly Father's grace is sufficient, but we would do well to not want to take advantage of it too much.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349087080262856079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6794620494458886025.post-47108586857929630262010-01-25T23:55:22.804-06:002010-01-25T23:55:22.804-06:00Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Solomonsdell...Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Solomonsdelle!!!

I got a little exasperated actually as I thought a lot was overdone so as to catch attention and make news.

When...Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Rob!!! When you get to The Nineteenth Crumb of The Crackerhead Chronicles, you will read about my horror at being left too much unchanged for my comfort. For He did change a lot, but left my GREAT appreciation for the female form, and what pleasures could be beheld by it, intact. I even seriously considered following what appears to be suggested in Matthew 5:27-30, but when He made me see that this would not stop the torment, I backed off. For it is all in my mind and part of the cross that I am meant to bear {Luke 9:23-26}. For as it was with the Apostle Paul, so is it also with me {2 Corinthians 12:7-12}. Be assured that I have begged our Heavenly Father to cleanse me of these abominable desires many more times than just three. For the more He shows me just how perfect He is, the more I hate how naturally imperfect I am, and that imperfection includes having a problem with grace. For I naturally want to be truly perfect in all of my ways--not just forgiven for not being so, and that was also left intact in "me." Therefore, am I not in desperate need of His grace as much as anyone who has ever lived?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349087080262856079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6794620494458886025.post-54318771367034378772010-01-25T07:31:54.787-06:002010-01-25T07:31:54.787-06:00Your aversion to the show is just the Holy Spirit ...Your aversion to the show is just the Holy Spirit sanctifying your heart, and turning you away from things of this world (I Thes. 5:19).<br /><br />I'd just urge you to guard your heart against what you see on TV these days, as there's very little edifying content out there anymore.Robhttp://ludosomnus.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
