Iron Man. If you haven't seen this, here a quick plot synopsis that shouldn't ruin it for you:

Self-absorbed playboy Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), is an engineering genius. He can build almost anything he can imagine. His technology company, Stark Enterprises, builds weapons capable of previously unimaginable destruction. But a turn of events forces him to reassess his life’s work and lifestyle, after which he wants only to protect the people his company has put in harm’s way. His quest, however, proves very complicated. Available this September on DVD and Blu-ray Disc.

Many of my friends saw this movie. Most liked it. While I found a few things about it disappointing, I will just mention something that stood out to me. Tony Stark, through his talent, nearly unlimited resources, and engineer prowess, is able to dole out justice, nearly on demand, with impunity. As he stepped in and saved innocent lives, I felt a rush. "Man, it's a good thing I can't do that," I thought. But it made me think about justice in this world. The truth is, I wish I had one of those suits. Maybe next time baby.
Were you left with any thought after this movie?

You're invited

Hey all,

Stephanie and I have been thinking it would be fun to start a blog at which our friends and family can talk about books, music, movies and experiences that have been somehow significant in our lives. Jesus said, "You're blessed when you get your inside world—your mind and heart—put right. Then you can see God in the outside world." While this is a bit of process, getting our inside world put right, we're all making progress. I would love to hear about what you all are learning.

I propose we go through a book together. I think Rob Bell's Velvet Elvis is pretty cool. Any other suggestions?
