Burnt Ends
Assorted items and thoughts...
The Rose Bowl
Texas vs. USC turned into one of the best championships ever played. What a game by Vince Young, who showed that he should have been the Heisman winner. 467 total yards. Beating the previously unbeatable USC. Running for the winning touchdown on 4th down with everything on the line. It was a perfect performance on the perfect stage.
Fun with Dick and Jane
I saw the new Jim Carrey movie last weekend. It has a few funny moments, but mostly tries too hard and doesn't get it done. Carrey is an upwardly mobile businessman who works for an "Enron"-type company that goes belly-up. After peddling all their possessions, he and his wife resort to robbing. There are a few laughs when it is making fun of corporations and suburban life, but this is one to skip. I give it 2 stars.
Who's Afraid of the Holy Spirit?
I just ordered Daniel B. Wallace's book by the above title (released this past November) as my first book to read in 2006. I read about it on the bible.org website and it looks interesting. My hope is to read through it and share my reactions and thoughts on this blog. Here's a quote from the abstract:

"We have become convinced that the ministry of the Spirit is far wider and deeper but more subtle than even the Pentecostal/charismatic tradition envisions it. Consequently the essays of this volume explore, however tentatively, an attempt to steer a middle ground between the sterile cessationism that essentially locks the Spirit in the pages of scripture, and an anything-goes-approach that has characterized parts of the Pentecostal/charismatic/Third Wave movements."
