Evan Almighty
Saw Evan Almighty today. It was REALLY good :] I thought it had a beautiful concept, the "act of random kindness thing" reminded me of a story my mom ALWAYS used to tell me


After a huge storm a man was walking across the beach, looking at all the starfish that were washed up on the shore. In the distance he saw a little boy picking up and throwing back the starfish into the ocean. The man had to laugh, what a futile effort. He walked over to the boy and asked him what he was doing. The boy told him he was saving starfish. The man stated, "Well, there's no way you can save them all..." the boy smiled and tossed a starfish into the water, "No, but I just saved that one!"


Ayyeee, such a nice story :3

You see, I'm a firm believer in the saying "a little kindness goes a long way". Also, I'm a pretty hardcore Christian, so I thought that movie was amazing, I also love the quote, "When someone prays for patience, do you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them opportunities to be patient? When someone prays for courage, does God flood them with courage? Or does he give them opportunities to be courageous? When someone prays that their family will grow closer together, do you think he fills them with warm fuzzy feelings? Or gives them chances to be together?"

See, people seem to think that God should do all the work, we're not puppets we need to help out as well.

Also, as cheesy as this sounds, when bad things happen, think of the good. So what if someone called you a name? So what if you didn't get everything you wanted? Would you really say that life was all that terrible? People find it so difficult to find a purpose in life... Why does God keep this little "game" going?

It's beautiful.

Don't you just love when your family gets along? If you don't get along too well with your family, don't you love your friends? If you love your computer, God made the materials that humans used to create it. He gave us things to enjoy, life was meant to be enjoyed... Yes, there are bad things, but some things we just make look bad. For example, people are always, "Why couldn't I win the lottery?" If everyone that wanted to win the lottery won the lottery, that would be pretty lame. God says no for a reason even if you can't see it :]

Sorry for the long post/rant, I just feel really strongly on that subject. Even if you choose not to believe in God, wasn't the starfish story cute at least? :D
