Monday Morning Confessional

Last updated on: January 7, 2013 at 7:18 am By Tim Suttle

I confess that my wife and I went to see Lincoln last night… first movie I’ve seen in far too long and it was a good one. I confess that I’ve been down on Spielberg lately because I think he forces his films upon people by manipulating emotions. Instead of provoking from the viewer a strong response of their own, he tells the viewer exactly which response to have and then sentimentalizes the moment until you cry. You end up... Read more

If You Haven’t Seen This Yet… Les Miserables Family Reaction – Your Friday Funny!

Last updated on: January 4, 2013 at 7:10 am By Tim Suttle

If you haven’t watched this yet, you have to see it. The family just went to see Les Miserables and one of the sons recorded his parent’s reaction to the film in the car after the show. My favorite part is at 0:47 when the dad starts laughing and crying at the same time. “We’ve been to funerals and have been less upset. We’ve been to funerals of family members and have cried less.” …so funny. I have said all... Read more

Tyler Hamilton, Lance Armstrong and the Power of a Secret

Last updated on: January 3, 2013 at 8:57 am By Tim Suttle

Over the break I read Tyler Hamilton’s memoir The Secret Race: Inside the Hidden World of the Tour de France: Doping, Cover-ups, and Winning at All Costs. If you love memoir, I highly recommend it. Hamilton, via a talented ghost-writer in Daniel Coyle, renders a detailed and vulnerable telling of the story behind the rise and fall of Lance Armstrong during his epic Tour de France winning streak. In bike racing all of the top riders are naturally gifted athletes who train... Read more

Monday Morning Confessional – 2012 Year End Confessions

Last updated on: December 31, 2012 at 1:43 pm By Tim Suttle

Father Adam – a Benedictine monk who is my spiritual director – always says “God is good. People are crazy.” That sums up the year 2012. Here is my year-end confession. I confess that I am not a very good celebrator of New Year’s Eve. Growing up my family celebrated with Dick Clark on East Coast time and were usually asleep before 11:30. I confess that I haven’t seen midnight on New Year’s Eve in at least half a decade.... Read more

Incarnation: The Scandal of Particularity

Last updated on: December 30, 2012 at 7:04 am By Tim Suttle

As an evangelical Christian I am a part of a people who have emphasized the crucifixion above everything else, even sometimes eclipsing resurrection. Incarnation (the birth of Jesus), comes in third in terms of emphasis and the teachings of Jesus brings up the rear in a distant fourth. This has been our hierarchy of emphasis when it comes to how we understand and teach about the life of Jesus Christ: Death, resurrection, birth, teaching. For most of the year, when... Read more

Theologian Trading Cards – It’s the Gift that Keeps On Giving

Last updated on: December 23, 2012 at 7:26 am By Tim Suttle

Forget the Jelly of the Month club, this is a stroke of genius. I’m kicking myself that I didn’t think of the idea first. Zondervan has had some great money makers (The Purpose Driven Life was pretty good), but this thing has solid gold written all over it. If you are wondering what to get me for Christmas, look no further… Read more

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone Official Trailer – Why Am I Excited About this Movie?

Last updated on: December 22, 2012 at 1:04 pm By Tim Suttle

Steve Carell and Jim Carrey in the same movie, plus Steve Buscemi to boot? This is either going to be amazing or way too over the top to be good. I can tell you that the trailer made me laugh out no less than four times. Add this to the list of movies I’m dying to see. Read more
