Chicken jockey and the fall of theatre decency

Here’s how my week went: I ate a bowl of nails, painted myself pink and drove my Ducati off the side of the Grand Canyon. Then, I did something wild. I went to see “A Minecraft Movie.” As someone who has played the game for the past twelve years and counting, I can easily say… my expectations were as low as you can get, and I was right to assume so. Was the movie bad? Well, let me just say it’s no “Citizen Kane.” In other words, yeah, it’s awful, and that’s coming from someone who LOVES the game!

Solving the ever-present puzzle of gossip

Proverbs 26:22 states, “The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to the inmost parts.” This well-known verse discusses the idea of gossip. It points out the fact that gossip can often be like “choice morsels” or another way of putting it, alluring. Students gave their input on this concept of gossip and how to deal with and combat the issue that goes “down to the inmost part.”

Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?

“Whatever happened to the Man of Tomorrow?” When Alan Moore wrote those words in 1986, I can’t help but wonder if he knew just how much people like me might be asking that question here in the present day.

Cartoons and comic books are two of my favorite things in the whole world. I grew up with stories full of action, adventure and the occasional laughs from my favorite Saturday morning cartoons. But as I write this, there is one character who comes to mind. He is my favorite superhero. He is the embodiment of optimism and altruism. He is… Superman.
