- Pray that he and his team will get a good night's rest before everything starts tomorrow.
- Pray that there would be no technical difficulties.
- Pray that Matt would not be so focused on the technical side of things that he forgets to look for what God is doing.
- Pray that he would relax and enjoy being in Canada!

Pray for Matt
Matt is currently in Canada for the IFES world conference. He's there as the primary photographer for the event. They made it there safely last night and they spent the day setting up and getting everything ready for people to arrive tomorrow.

"We all must choose between what is right, and what is easy."
So I just got done watching a Harry Potter movie marathon in preparation for the new movie release this week.
For some reason I was struck by one comment Dumbledore made at the end of "The Goblet of Fire". (I think it was that movie...they are all blending right now). Anyways, Dumbledore makes the following comment in reference to the evil wizards return that there "are difficult times coming, times in which we must all choose between what is right and what is easy."
It's interesting that it was not between what is right and wrong, but between what is right and what is easy. It's amazing how often taking the "easy" course can equal being wrong. This seems particularly true in areas of seeking God's justice and taking a bold stand for God.
I think of Peter who chose the easy route and denied Jesus three times. I think of the church in Germany who chose to be quite rather than stand up for the millions of Jews being killed. I think of my own self who would rather ignore the pain, suffering and poverty around me so that I might enjoy the illusion of my own security and well being.
Jesus never called us to an easy road. He called us to what is right: following him.

Rats and Such
So we went and watched Pixar's/Disney's new Movie "Ratatouille" this weekend. My biggest disappointment? None of the rats looked cute! I started getting flash backs of nightmares of the rat in "Lady and the Tramp" that I used to get when I was younger.
But if you can get past the hundreds of gross looking rats scampering everywhere (disgusting), it has some good humor and a good message.
