Genesis 42

Joseph finally gets to teach his brothers a lesson for the way they treated him! I imagine it must have been very conflicting, though: on one hand getting back at them, even in a small way, probably felt good - but at the same time it had been so long that he may just have wanted to burst forth and hug them. I think the way he went about things was very wise, though, and worked out well.

Reading this section makes me want to rent Joseph - King of Dreams.  It was made by the same folks that did Prince of Egypt, if memory serves, and I enjoyed that pretty well (despite some historical inaccuracies).  Has anyone else out there seen those movies?  If so, do you think they are worth buying or just renting?

A Late Night

So, I'm about to do my Bible reading and post for Genesis chapter 7. It is a little late, but Rose and I just got back from a nice date night - probably the last we'll have before our son is born. Wow, I nearly typed his name by accident there! Its supposed to be a secret...

Anyways, I wanted to give a warning to anyone who might read this. We went to dinner and a movie tonight, and the movie was Tropic Thunder. It is a comedic take on Hollywood, acting, etc, and while it is funny it is also EXTREMELY VULGAR. I'm talking so many curse words, insults, and inappropriate references to both male and female anatomy that at times I couldn't understand what they were actually trying to convey. Oh, and you also get to see Tom Cruise doing the most hideous dance imaginable. Consider yourself warned.
