Life’s truths don’t require special effects

June 21, 2010

The beauty of a great film like Toy Story is that each of us is touched in different ways. Most often the ways we are affected by the story is based on our own life journey. Toy Story touches on some universal topics: our need to be loved and accepted by others; our want to find a home; and the power of groups/family. These three topics are the undercurrent tying the trilogy together.

We’re all living in a time of constant upheaval and change. It’s nice to be reminded that at our core, each of us simply long to be loved and belong. Don’t let the animation fool you Toy Story 3 is very much a film that we all need to see, no matter our age.

Red Bird school seeks funds to reopen

June 17, 2010

As I’ve shared with many of you before, I am a former student of Red Bird Mission School. While my family only lived in Southeastern Kentucky for a few years, I’m proud to claim that the people of Red Bird Mission and the school helped to shape my life. The following United Methodist News Service article details the dire state that the school is currently facing. The mission has set a goal to raise $1 million dollars by August 1 in hopes of reopening their doors this fall. Your financial support of this worthy mission would very much be appreciated. Blessings

The world is ‘abuzz’ with vuvuzelas

June 15, 2010

Vuvuzela has become my new favorite term. The incessant “buzzing” noise that I heard is being created by a long plastic blow horn that South African soccer fans use to cheer on their team. It’s become such a buzz (pun intended) with European and American fans that organizers considered banning the horns; they ultimately have decided to keep them. An annoyance, I do think it comical that ESPN has spent hundreds of millions of dollars to sponsor the World Cup, and will ultimately lose its shirt on the deal because of a plastic blow horn. Soccer greenhorns like myself will turn tail and run at the first sound of buzzing.

Yellow Pages

You put lipstick on a pig, it’s still a pig

May 25, 2010

You may have noticed that the publishers of the Yellow Pages have attempted to dress it up a bit in recent years. … Delivery in a pretty yellow bag; new smaller, more compact size; localized content and full color ads. No matter the packaging, if “you put lipstick on a pig, it’s still a pig.”
