I just finished watching the movie How to Steal a Million with Audrey Hepburn and Peter O'Toole and I was really delighted by it. It was light and amusing and just plain fun. Some of the schemes were very clever. I would say that this is one that Hollywood should redo, but the way that they usually remake movies, they'd probably ruin it. Incidently, I found another movie that I like better than the book. I just finished with an abridged version of The Legend of Bagger Vance, but it was not nearly as good as the movie. The movie was light and had a variety of generic spiritualisms (although looking back on it, there was one completely gratuitous scene) but the book was full of all sorts of weird God/warrior Buddhist spiritualism. Its rare to find a movie that is better than the book, but there are a few, and (at least an edited version of) Bagger Vance might be one.

In my classes we're starting a new set of books, so in the next few weeks (or days) I need to read The Fantastic Voyage (Asimov), The Cross and the Switchblade (Wilkerson), A Father's Promise (Hess), as well as refresh my memory of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and Treasure Island. I also found that the local library has a pretty good audio/visual selection, so I'm going to try and make good use of that.

Please pray for us to know what I should do this summer and next year. We're going to need to start actively pursuing partnership development, but that will be nearly impossible if I'm teaching full time. We don't know what to do.
