I am an independent film producer. Independent in the sense that I have just myself and a few friends to team up with on a project. The budgets are determined by us, how much do we want to spend on our movie. These days “independent” movies are popular, mostly because there are a lot of good indie films done through spin off mini studios from the big boys. They receive huge budgets and resources compared to anyone like myself. They also have actual experience… unlike myself… I am a few notches below experienced when it comes to “making movies for real”. Most people that create films with my level of experience end up with something that no one really wants to watch… I have made a few of those. So when you find a truly indie film that is actually watchable… even compelling… its note worthy. These guys are my heroes…

The greatest need is not facing our beliefs or doctrines, or even facing the question of whether or not we are of any use to Him, but the need is to face Him.

Dealing with the reality of God, and the historical reality of Christ will change you.  I can’t escape it.  Sometimes I think I am entering into it by entering into my beliefs and doctrines but it is really just religion…

we must stop using religion as if it were some kind of a lofty lifestyle-we must be spiritually real.

I have this collection of information that I never asked for, all of these experiences that I am not sure ever happened, and this mysterious calling, guidance, longing, relationship that is never resolved.

faith?

setting your heart on what He wants, and thinking His thoughts, you will be considered impractical and a daydreamer.

I like this one probably too much, either out of authenticity or a lack of maturity I seem to end up here often.

You should trust no one, and even ignore the finest saint on earth if he blocks your sight of Jesus Christ.

I like this one even more… but is it fueled by my Ferris Bueler inspired disdain for authority or the result of a life that performs for the audience of One.

The futile pursuit of customer satisfaction…

Oh the great mass of wasted time, effort, thought, energy, and peace offered at the all consuming alter of customer satisfaction…

Make it look cool!

Bring me the hot stuff!

I am the customer and the customer is always right…

I would like a toaster with wings on it…

Fine, here they are…
