Last night reminded me again that I really miss Leo’s character and I’m really going to miss the West Wing when the season ends.
It was somewhat predictable that Santos would win the election, but I loved all the “false finishes” during election night.
I loved the speach Santos gave to encourage voters after Leo (John Spencer) died. “This is bigger than Leo and anyone else – this is about a vision for our nation.”
I loved the heartfelt interaction between Josh and Donna, Josh and Santos and CJ and the President as each of them learned of Leo’s death.
It was if they were just finding out for the first time that John Spencer had died.
I hope there are some Emmy’s lined up for the cast and crew on this one.
I really wish the show could continue with a Santos presidency, but I guess all good things have to come to an end. Thank goodness for the West Wing on DVD.
Prayer on the Daily Show
The Daily Show discussed a new scientific study, that set out to prove if prayer works or not.
According to the study, prayer may do more harm than good.
Stewart suggests it was leaving out the word “Amen.”
If you don’t end it right, you can’t expect to get the right answer.
He also wonders if the study has any “real world application.”
Tom Hanks filming in the Metroplex
From the DFW Film Commission:
A large studio feature film starring Tom Hanks (also producer) is interested in finding a mansion/estate locally to shoot at this fall, likely October/November. Scenes take place primarily around the swimming pool and sounds like only a few days of filming. The property should have pretty large grounds and the house they want is VERY elegant and traditional in style. The film is set in the early ’80s. Please respond via e-mail with suggestions, including contact information if all possible. We appreciate all leads but particularly those that have already expressed an interest in allowing filming. 214.571.1050 – www.filmdfw.com
Think I can sell them on my second story apartment/duplex?
Is that your phone ringing?
My phone’s been ringing off the hook since breakfast.
Global Hit – Seven Nation Army
I’ve been meaning to listen to this, but I finally found a copy of The World’s report on The White Stripes’ song Seven Nation Army taking over as an anthem song for Rome’s Futbal team, the Roma’s.
It’s a great story. Fun to hear 30,000 fans sing along to the catchy hook and bass line.
The more I hear from this rock duo from Detroit, the more I like them. Rock on. Rock on.
UPDATE: The link to The World’s story is gone 🙁
Come hang with us on Saturday
Wanted to pass this invitation on to everyone in the Dallas area…
You love God but you just can’t do Sunday morning style church?
You’re really not into singing songs all the time or you don’t believe that singing songs is the only way we can worship God?
You would like to be part of a church where you are accountable to each other and are responsible for helping each other grow?
You’re tired of professional Christianity and you just want to be church like it was with Jesus and his followers back in his human days?
You believe Church is more fluid than a building or tradition.
Sound interesting?
Some like to call it ‘church’, others call it ‘fellowship’, while many believe it to be ‘community’…….We believe it to be essential and feel that many congregations have lost the “familial” sense of the body of Christ!
In our search for a place to belong and fellowship together we have begun to gather in homes to seek the heart of the father together!
After months of prayer and dialoging we have finally begun to gather as a community in Ellis County.
Our invitation to you is always open and our desire is to be a place for people to engage and explore God in fresh, exciting, and maybe even new ways!
We gather on Saturday nights for a couple of hours, so if you are intersted in knowing more details just reply to this bulletin!
