good week.

it's been a good week. probably the best in a long time. currently listening to the new coldplay album -- and lovin' it. watched star wars last night -- and loved it. depressing as it was, it gives me hope that there are still people out there who know how to release decent non-clichéd movies. guns. bombs. car chases. they're in the latest previews, and in all new movies it seems. that and comic book characters.

anyway, so most of this week has been spent with the pastor meeting with students who are doing public profession of their faith (in the christian reformed world, that's speak for saying 'I love God and will continue pursuing him in my life'). very cool. good to hear each one share where they're at and why they want to stand on a stage and annouce to a congregation of people that they love God. it's been a good chance to step out of my comfort zone, to nudge students to the edge of theirs and to get to know the pastor. it's been a good week.

I agree with the coldplay album comments... but Star Wars not cliché? That would be the one word I would use to describe it!

okay, so maybe it's cliché in the sense that it has a bad guy and a good guy. and the good guys always beat out a whole swarm of bad guys, but the bad guy never wins in the same situation. but ya gotta admit, by the end of the movie there was a sense of despair as the darth seemingly has the upper hand. children were killed! children!
