Missio Dei Suburbia

U23D

Aaron and I went to see U23D at the IMAX at the Mall of Georgia. We giggled for the first five minutes - there are no words to describe how happily surreal the entire experience was.

The set list was great - not perfect ('Love and Peace' off the How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb album is there for some of the visuals rather than for the timelessness of the song). The audio was tremendous and the cinematography was stunning. Okay, so there are words...but they don't do the film justice.

Narnia Trailer

I'm intentionally not plugging all things Narnia - not for any deep theological reasons but because everyone else in the word is saying something about it.

But I'm breaking my self-imposed code of silence to tell you that you can watch a 9 minute trailer of the movie here.
