Chris and I met in the field between our homes so I could borrow the movie "Batman Begins". We talked for a bit and I learned that he's going to be working all summer at the university bookstore. In the evening we had guests staying over, and I watched the movie. I really enjoyed this version of Batman.

While the previous Batman movies were excessively dark and cheesy, Batman Begins presents the story in a solid and enjoyable way. Through this movie viewers are informed about the history of Batman and the background behind the story. Instead of the two dimensional billionaire who randomly possesses superhuman fighting ability, we're shown a three-dimensional man developing into the legend we've heard about since childhood. From start to finish, this is a great movie.

Devotion Highlights:

Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth.
We never know what's going to happen the next day, hour, minute, or even second. Therefore, I need to remember to enjoy, appreciate, and make the most of each breath and heartbeat that God gives me in this life.

The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer from it.
Three definitions of "prudent" are:
1. Wise in handling practical matters; exercising good judgment or common sense.
2. Careful in regard to one's own interests; provident.
3. Careful about one's conduct; circumspect.
Therefore, to be prudent and stay our of danger, simply be careful and give thought to everything you do.

As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
The necessity of Christian friendships.
