I am not sure who originally proposed this idea, but it is this statement that I’d like to talk about. First let’s examine the word ‘relationship’. I would define a relationship as an ongoing interaction with someone or something. It is true that once we enter into allegiance with God and recognize the authority of his son Jesus, that a relationship inevitably occurs. But if we are to call ourselves Christians, is a relationship with God the sole definition of our faith?

Christianity is not a religion, but a relationship.

One interesting thing I like to look at is how people respond to the ‘religion’ region on their ‘about me’ section of their profile. Because I go to a Christian university, many of my friends simply put ‘Christian’. I take it a little bit further by replying, ‘Christian Hedonist,’ but I won’t go into that right now.

I admit it. I browse my friends’ facebook pages every once in a while. To do this might be fundamentally creepy, but I feel that browsing is what profiles really are meant for. I’m going somewhere with this I promise.

Although I’m still jealous of Joey’s blog and the traffic his gets, I was pleasantly surprised to find that in the month of November there were 204 views of my blog. I surely hope that I haven’t subjected a large number of people to my cynical worldview.

Please take my word for it when I say that this movie is absolutely worth seeing. Go see it.

It is impossible to watch this movie and not have your breath taken away by the absolutely gorgeous scenery of Pandora, the planet on which the movie is based. The waterfall, high tree-top acrobatics, and flying across the landscape on some weird dragon-bird thing will have your mind racing. The interesting thing about the animation, combined with the length of the movie, is that it messes with your brain. I remember thinking to myself, if a large blue alien walked through the door right now, it would look exactly like it does on that screen. The realism of everything is so ВPextravagantВPthat I immediately compared Pandora to the New Earth. The Earth that is coming, that will be recreated when our savior Jesus returns. The thought that kept popping into my head was, “When creation comes to fruition and recreated, if the outcome is beyond ANY human imagination (including the designers on the Avatar team), how amazingly beautiful will this New Earth be? And how wonderful will it be to see God declare his glory once again, this time perfectly, in his creation?

I could probably write about this movie for a long time, so I will try to condense.

I loved the movie ‘Avatar’.

I do realize I may receive some ridicule for this post. Nonetheless,

Stars — My Favorite Book

David Bazan — Please, Baby, Please

Amos Lee — Jails and Bombs

I thought I’d try something new and introduce five artists at the end of each month for you all to try out. I will list the artist and one of my favorite songs by them. But, you should really listen to more than just that song. Enjoy!
