Introverts Unite! Right?
I do that often, or i'll say yes without thinking and try to back out. The BBQ sounds OK tho, go make an appearance then say you have a Skype chat with a friend from England

Air.
Not joking, either. When you put the ingredients in the stand mixer and let the mixer work the mallow, you are whipping air into it, much as one does when making whipped cream or meringue.

Today, I saw "Godzilla" (2014) with my bros. It was great. Here are my thoughts (no spoilers).
"Godzilla" is back!
Cold War opening credits draw the viewer into the dark, anxious times of the late 50s/early 60s. A sombre but intriguing tone is set for the rest of the movie. “Godzilla” is well-written and acted (Brian Cranston is a stand-out – no surprise there). The CGI/visual effects are brilliant without threatening the story and the locations are properly realised. There’s a real humanity to the movie but also an impressive understanding of the scope needed to tell such a tale, quite a tricky balance to get right. Great restraint is shown in revealing Godzilla or even the ‘other’ monsters. I found the ‘other’ monsters a little too-reminiscent of the "Cloverfield" monster for my liking. Also, it could've done with a touch of humour. This is a really good movie. No, it doesn’t have the silliness of “Godzilla” (1998) or the orchestral action and unadulterated fun of “Pacific Rim”, but what “Godzilla” (2014) does deliver is a harrowing drama/thriller that highlights the truth - sometimes we're helpless in the face of danger, sometimes we need another to save us.
Warning: Not for children. “Godzilla” contains science fiction violence and adult themes. Several scenes are eerily reminiscent of 9/11 and the Fukushima tsunamis.
8/10

Oh man, I went in to Bible Discussions and spent the past 45 minutes reading through a few threads. I thought, I'd read through and get a feel for the 'climate' and then find a thread topic I thought I could actually bring something to and then post. But after 30 minutes, a head ache started to emerge. I took 2 minutes out, then dove back in. Head ache begins to surface again.
That is one confusing place, and some of the people there have me convinced that they from a completely different planet. From what I saw and read, there didn't seem to be a whole lot of love in the posts. How does one discuss the Bible and talk about God with out love? That confuses me.
I don't know, maybe I was never gifted to be the 'brains' in the body of Christ, but I can't look at scripture and pull each word apart in a logical sense, or argue that God truly exists based on my knowledge of scripture. When I pick up my Bible and read the Word, I hear a God crying out to His people in love and wanting, a wonderful Creator longing to be part of the lives of His creation. I read love letters that are an invitation to come to know and experience His love for ourselves. I can't even begin to think about God or scripture or my understandings and experiences of Him with out it being linked to relationship, emotions and/or love.
Yeah, I'm definitely not the brains.

Yeah, some of the talk in the Bible Discussion forum makes the Bible Code stuff look like small-fry. Some messed up individuals on there. It does get heated at times but we have some good discussions. I need to learn to love God more with my heart, because presently I seem to love Him more with my mind.
