The Mansions of the Lord

Yes, I just got out of church. Yet that song is strong in my mind right now. And if you don't know what song I mean, it is The Mansions of the Lord. From the movie We Were Soldiers. Yes, that is what is on my mind immediately after leaving church. Why, cause we were shown a clip from the end of that movie as well as the end of Saving Private Ryan during the service tonight. Had a guest peacher who is a chaplin in the U.S. Air Force. He was very good. And those clips that he showed are probably two of my favorite ever. They are so powerful. And scored so beautifuly. Now I just want to go home and watch both movies. Don't think that I have the emotional strength to do that right now though. They are both very draining for me in that regaurd.

I could go on and on about both movies for a while if I let myself. But I'm not going to do that tonight.

My Uncle Karl and Aunt Jana just had their sixth baby (and first boy!) this weekend. If you can call him a baby. Guess he was 10 lbs. when he was born.

Had two football games on Saturday. And no subs for the first one. Yikes. Hurting. So much hurting. Not looking forward to waking up tomorrow morning. Just hope I can manage to roll out of bed.
