Sitting, sipping and listening to random music from my collection all the while ripping all my Dream Theater cd's onto my pc. I still don't have their latest... what a shame. The kids are down the street hangin' at the neighbors house so I am taking a moment to myself for myself.

Kathi and I watched the movie "Crash" this weekend. Suprisingly enjoyable for a movie I had not heard of. Kathi read a review of it in World magazine which prompted her to pick it up amongst the tripe at the video mall. The movie deals with a number of different characters and how their actions and their lives intersect. The characters are a collection from the American melting pot. If you want to know what happens, rent it. If you want a synopsis of the plot go here. I just want to say that it is a movie that gives to thought. A word of caution to those sensitive in the ear, the F-bomb is heavily used.

This movie came along at an interesting time. I am reading a book by Don Miller called "Searching For God Knows What" where he delves into thoughts on the nature of man after the Fall (Genesis 3). It is an interesting and thought provoking read. It has me rethinking my reason for a lot of the things I do and hold as important in life. It has reminded me of a line from the movie "A Man On Fire" with Denzel Washington where his character, who is a body guard for a young American girl in a South American country, is asked by a nun at the girls school if he sees God in what he does.

Do I see God in what I do?

Do I seek God in what I do?

Life is interesting...

The smell of Kathi's chili is making me drool so I am going to go and clean up for dinner.
