[mybeautifulchristianjourney]

by Jon Nielson | The doctrine of aseity tells us that God’s decision to create cannot be because of any deficiency in God. He didn’t need the universe in order to be happy. He wasn’t lonely without us! So, why create? God’s creation of the universe—and human beings—must be the abundant, joyful, gracious overflow of his goodness and kindness....

Origin Review- A Powerful Film About The Black Experience And Much More

Ava Duverney has been a divisive filmmaker during the span of her career. Sometimes, her work such as Selma and 13th she knocked it out of the park, other times, like A Wrinkle in Time, she misses the mark. Her latest film Origin is back in that realm of hitting it out of the park. This is going to be a film people are going to be talking about more and more when it comes out in theaters. It was…

[lol-jackles]

Game of Thrones was a hugely successful show, with millions of viewers around the world, making a lot of money. But it doesn't seem like it's a show that gets rewatched. If you take, for example, the Nielsen data of the top watched shows in streaming is never among them. Why, in your opinion?

Games of Thrones have shown up in the Nielson top ten now and then, especially ahead of House of Dragon, just not consistently like network tv drama i.e NCIS, Grey Anatomy, and Supernatural.  

A few things lessened GoT's rewatch value:

In general season 8 didn't have the emotional payoff so it lessened the rewatch value;  Bran wouldn’t use his abilities in any way to help defeat the White Walkers, Jon wouldn’t face off against the Night King, Daenerys was off the rails and murdering the wrong innocent people.  

The flandarization of the main characters.  Previous complex characters with hidden depth were flattened into single traits.  To rewatch these characters degrade and devolve over time makes rewatching a bit harder to endure. 

Then the show's frequent character deaths mean it's harder to be invested in the characters. 

I may be in the minority category in that I think the ending was the right one, especially concerning Daenerys, which I saw coming since season 2 so it was no surprise to me.  But I also concede that the execution was off and the buildup was lacking, which is why the ending felt unearned for many people. 

Still, there are some characters that did get the endings they deserved, so to rewatch from the beginning and watch them go through all their troubles, before finally, finally getting what they deserve in the end is rewarding.  Brienne of Tarth becoming a knight. Ser Davos became a part of the Small Council. Sansa Stark becoming the queen of the North. Even Theon getting redemption after everything he did the first few seasons of the show – those moments make it worthwhile to watch.

Book Review: Tracing God's Story by Jon Nielson

How can you get a big-picture look at the Bible? In Tracing God’s Story, Jon Nielson provides an insightful introduction to biblical theology, making it accessible and engaging for readers at all levels. The book emphasizes the importance of personal study and reading of the Bible, encouraging you to dive deep into the text and discover its rich layers of meaning.

Events and Themes

Nielson masterfully helps you see the big picture of Scripture as a developing storyline, centered around the gospel. He invites you to see yourself within God’s great narrative, highlighting how various accounts weave together to reveal profound truths about his character and plan for humanity.

Chapters are thoughtfully divided into different scenes, guiding you through significant events and themes. Each section highlights important facts to notice in the text, providing steps and implications that deepen understanding. He provides takeaway lessons that resonate with contemporary life, making the ancient texts feel relevant and applicable.

Explanations and Connections

I was particularly pleased to see how Nielson navigates the split of the nation and the exile period. This era has always been one of the most challenging aspects of Israel’s history for me to grasp, but this book clarified and brought the narrative together. The explanations and connections from Nielson helped me fill in my missing gaps.

The sections between the crucifixion and the beginning of the Church were especially compelling. I found myself caught up in the excitement of what it means to be a New Testament believer, with Nielson's insights shedding light on the significance of new life in Christ.

God's Unfolding Story

Towards the end of the book, I was most impressed by Neilson's ability to use the entire Bible to pull you into the future, not just through the lens of Revelation but also by revisiting passages in Isaiah and Daniel. This holistic approach gave me a deeper appreciation for the continuity of Scripture and its ultimate fulfillment in Christ.

Tracing God’s Story is a valuable resource for anyone looking to understand the overarching narrative of the Bible and their place within it. I benefit from this book as a preacher and teacher, but also as a simple student of God's word. Nielson’s engaging style and thoughtful approach make this book a satisfying and refreshing read for both newcomers and seasoned believers seeking to enrich their understanding of God's unfolding story.

I received a media copy of Tracing God's Story and this is my honest review.

TRON Lightcycle Run from GMUNK on Vimeo.

There’s a power, an elegance, and an electric intensity to the  TRON Legacy franchise. The narrative of the TRON world itself integrates the tactile human experience with another realm where data, design, stunning architecture, and mood combine for a thrilling ride through a digital plane.   There’s a personal connection Munky has to the franchise. He spent a year designing the holographic world of the film, contributed to high-level concepts for the video game, and now the key visual and live-action campaign for the Lightcycle Run attraction at Magic Kingdom.

What was exciting for him is to be there along the whole collaborative and evolutionary arc of the TRON world. A new favorite agency Disney Yellow Shoes wrote a very cool script focused on typography and pacing, and brought Munkowitz into the fold to apply his aesthetic to the entire package. This point in the journey, particularly, really got him excited because it was truly the most cathartic and fully fleshed out manifestation of the story at immense scale and physicality; the characters, the environment, and the concept in an immersive experience that culminated in a total thrill ride.

To see the ride at scale and to strategize how to capture it was a fresh challenge. Combining that with the primary focus of telling the human story behind the experience, achieved through the same lens and focus on the stylistic flair of the existing franchise was an absolute treat to work on.

by Jon Nielson | Our goal is to work toward the right way for Christians to think biblically about angels and properly relate to them. The biblical response to these heavenly beings is somewhere between worship and obsession on the one hand, and a total denial of their existence on the other. Christians can learn from Scripture how to relate to angels as they follow the great God and Savior of the world…

Some of the vibes that the Lonely's ritual, the Silence, could have gone for:

(Caspar David Friedrich, Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog, c. 1818)

(Hasegawa Tohaku, Pine Trees, c. 1595)

(Isaac Levitan, Fog over Water, 1895)

(Kay Nielson, 'She Held Tight to the White Bear', illustration for East of the Sun and West of the Moon, 1914)

(John William Waterhouse, The Lady of Shalott, 1888)

...And what Peter Lukas actually went for:

A block of apartment buildings ::::)))

So much potential wasted?? Peter??? (or maybe I'm just too enamoured by a mix of the Lonely and the Vast, idk)

Like, even if Gertrude hadn't thwarted him with the newspaper, it still would have been embarrassing????

The lack of poetic imagination, god.

Ah right, because of this:

Hmmmm, right. No escapism? No second-hand living through characters? Right. Unsubscribed from Mr Lukas's particular blend of the Lonely~

(Not like I actually paid attention to his statement in 159 first time round actually, since I was a little, er, preoccupied. I was like, when can he stop talking, goodnessssss Oh great, Jon just smote him, he dead, thank youuuuu)

((actually no, i was just kxjwjskskskkskskss this close to sobbing the entire time of 159, but i couldn't coz then i wouldn't be able to listennn))

(((and it was all worth it coz kskdkskskska 'I see you' *internal screaming*)))

Just dropping this here coz I'm too scared about the final 6 episodes and now 159 seems like a good time (it was a good time skkdkskdkssk lost all coherence- )
