Did you mean The Pianist? If so, then I love that movie -- it moved me and broke my heart the way that Schindler's List did. I haven't seen the Piano, so if you meant that one, then I would pick the Gerard Depardieu version of Les Miserables.
My all time favorite movie...its so hard to pick, I love so many films. For now, I'll say it's The Wiz.
I meant the Holly Hunter movie, so, 'The Piano.' LOL, I never heard of 'The Pianist.' They both got high marks from critics, helloooo, why did you like 'The Pianist' so much. The Wiz, huh? Your all-time favorite? Didn't hear you answer the 'why' part of that question though
What best advice would you give someone who is single now, having come from a marriage?
Green - I'd say concentrate on the good parts of being single. There are lots of good parts. If you aren't content now, the likelihood of you being content as a married person is even slimmer. Contentment comes from the inside, not so much from circumstances.
gracey: did you take art in college?
I did not go to college. Mommyhood was calling. I have gone to several conferences for entertainers and face/body artists though, and learned valuable painting techniques.
Good answer. If you are not content with yourself, you won't be content with someone else.
These verses are of this word 'content' personified for our lives ,of how we can understand how to be content and not want for things, not desire wanton things that will only, in the end, not be noble, not be pure.....not be from Him
Philippians 4
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
5Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.
6Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
Thanks for Their Gifts
10I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it.
11I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.
12I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.
13I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
I could never do stand-up comedy or anything like that...because people would be looking at me. Yeah...I try to stay kind of invisible, in my day to day life. Standing on a stage all by myself would sort of be counter-productive to that.
I was born in CO, and then lived in Minnesota for a few years when I was...3-6 ish. Back to CO til I did my stupid get-married-at-17-trick when I lived in NC for about 6 months. I've lived in various parts of CO since I came back from NC. So...I've pretty much been here my whole life
mizcris, you strike me as an outgoing sort, who can make a lot of people laught, the Lord leads, use your gift of 'funny' well then.
Funny though, isn't it--or, not so funny, depending on how you see it--that ugly says he was going to ask you the same stand-up type question.
I must be on the wrong threads, because I've never heard you say anything but funny, witty, stuff, Lord-led stuff, a great giving of breath to so many on c.c. And, then itoreHis echoed my thoughts and I bet there are a zillion more, well, ok, maybe, not a zillion, literally, since it's not a number but a billion more would say the same thing if they saw your posts
