Thunderbirds Are GO!

Blockbusters Reviewed

Welcome to the 13th edition of My Fortnightly Movie/TV Thoughts.  Last fortnight I reviewed The Shack (2017).  This fortnight, I’m reviewing:

That of course is the Australian rating; not sure what the TV rating in the US is.

As usual, I’ll give the trailer and a clip at the end.  (Since this is a TV series, I might include more than one.)  And as usual, I offer the disclaimer (just in case):

WARNING: POTENTIAL SPOILERS AHEAD.  PROCEED AT OWN RISK.

Thunderbirds Are Go

ITV’s CGI remake of the classic ’60s sci-fi show Thunderbirds is among my all-time favourite TV shows.  (And my first review of a TV series proper – Jesus being a two-part mini-seriees.)

In 2060, a secretive organisation with advanced technology works to save lives around the globe.  Based on a secret island, they are…

Today I present my Restored English Translation (RET) of Ester (Esther) chapter 3.  What I call "chapter 3", you'll probably know as "chapter 1"; that's because several chapters of the original Book of Esther have been removed from most translations and relegated to "The Apocrypha".  See Restored English Translation of Esther: Chapter 1 and The … Continue reading Restored English Translation of Esther: Chapter 3 →

A young person with MORE Sense than 50% of Our Politicians.

And Then Messiah Shall Come

This article was written by a 26 year old college student by the name of Alyssa Ahlgren, who’s in grad school for her MBA. It’s a short article but definitely worth a read. I would love to see this go viral!!

I put my phone down and continue to look around. I see people talking freely, working on their MacBook’s, ordering food they get in an instant, seeing cars go by outside, and it dawned on me. We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous nation and we’ve become completely blind to it…
