In the middle of vacation the women of the family get together and craft doilies, needlepoint, play dolls, have spontaneous fashion shows, and get their faces and toenails painted.
The men of the family go out and see ACTION MOVIES. This year we selected “Live Free or Die Hard” starring tough guy Bruce Willis.
WARNING: SPOILER BEYOND THIS POINT
This movie features Bruce Willis singlehandedly foiling a terrorist plot and mentoring/fathering a young computer geek who cannot go 5 hours without eating something. In fact the wimp was begging for katsup packets halfway through the film. The enemy was a disgruntled Homeland Security guy who was trying to screw up our traffic system and bankrupt SSI funds.
Other action sequences feature Bruce Willis:
- Preventing a 18 wheeler from jacknifing
- Outrunning a collapsing freeway
- Driving an SUV down an elevator shaft
- Launching a car off the toll booth to attack an enemy helicopter
- Jumping out of that car to avoid perishing with said helicopter
- Surfing down the wing of an F-15 jet onto the concrete below
- Surviving an evening in Camden
My beef with all this stuff is that we somehow think we are immune to terrorism and so we pay $10 bucks to see the Capitol exploding, traffic lights malfunctioning, east coast power failure, and massive disaster of apocalyptic proportions. Just couldn’t shake this, and when it happens for real the question is “how could a loving God allow this to happen”.
Anybody want to learn how to pray effectively now? That way you will have some wisdom and peace when all hell is breaking out, even if you aren’t as tough as Bruce Willis.
