my teleme­try tech is a retired physi­cian, anes­the­si­ol­o­gist, hos­pi­tal owner & army gen­eral. from time to time i ask him ques­tions about cul­ture, med­i­cine and even rela­tion­ship advice. (i fig­ure such an accom­plished man’s wis­dom might be worth hear­ing, and learning).

last night he told me about the early goings of his mar­riage. the day of their wed­ding his wife told him sim­ply, ‘i can­not cook, all through­out child­hood i always had some­one to cook for me so i did not have to learn’. and in response he told her ‘it’s fine i know very well how to cook, but there must be some­thing that you’re good at’. ‘i used to sing in pub­lic places through­out med school’ she said. and so he told her ‘that’s great, i’ll cook, while you sing’.

and so he cooked, and so she sang. a year into their mar­riage, that’s what they did. until one day he made plans to play golf. so his wife told him ‘since you’re play­ing golf today, i’ll cook for you’. so she cooked for him, and he hap­pily ate what she had made. another day passes, and again she offers to cook for him. again she cooked, again he ate.

one day she decides that she would play golf with him. and so she cooked for the both of them. as she ate the meal that she has been prepar­ing for him, her first reac­tion was to spit out the food and ask, ‘yuck, how can you eat that? it is so bit­ter! why have u never said any­thing!’. he responds to her; ‘because i appre­ci­ate that you are try­ing to cook for me. and because of that, to me it is sweet.’

he told me that from that day on, she devel­oped such great respect for him and how he hon­ors her as his wife, that from that day on; every time he went to go play golf, she went to go, to a cook­ing class.

awe­some.

Knight & Day.

July 3rd, 2010 § 0

blame it on the fact that my girl­friend is 3,000 miles away. with that said here’s my attempt at a movie review/spoiler/reflection/lol.

pre­lude ~ tonight was first fri­day ado­ra­tion with my house­hold. fol­lowed up with 4Rivers BBQ and this movie. its one of the bet­ter ways to spend an evening. being around the SFC com­mu­nity is quite dif­fer­ent than that of YFC. con­ver­sa­tions i think is being the biggest dif­fer­ence. with that mind­sets. being around so many awe­some women of God in the com­mu­nity only leaves me with a great desire for one thing; that they know what they’re worth.

Knight & Day. you’ve seen this type of movie before; a secret agent whose mis­tak­enly gone rogue while the secret orga­ni­za­tion that he works for turns their back on him. one thing leads to another and 50 peo­ple get shot, every mode of trans­porta­tion blows up, and the hero saves the day and gets the girl. typ­i­cal action movie right? now look at it through the per­spec­tive of adventure.

just as the rela­tion­ship of roy and june’s was in this movie was a work in progress. so is that of any rela­tion­ship. and while  as much as this seems like another action movie for guys who get to see another james bon­desque film, i think it was filmed in the per­spec­tive of a woman in what she hopes for in a man.

through­out the entire movie, june is doing things that just con­tin­u­ally put her in harm’s way. and with each ques­tion­able action, roy is there to get her out what­ever rut shes in. regard­less of the life-saving advice he pro­vides her; she con­tin­u­ally runs away from him. but he con­tin­u­ally runs after her. and with each life-saving event, june inches her way to trust roy. each time hav­ing her best inter­est in mind. each time pro­vid­ing for her, even in ways she doesn’t under­stand. all the while he does this, never los­ing sight of his duty (as a secret agent LOL).

a Knight. in every sense of the word, is exactly what every woman is des­tined for. chivalry can only be dead if a woman no longer decides that she is worth the effort and in turn set­tles for less. trust sis­ters, that the man who is deserv­ing of you under­stands your worth and will fight to pro­tect it, to pro­vide for it, and to win it over.

with that. i think that this movie is one of the more enter­tain­ing ones out there. def­i­nitely packed with a lot of action. so much in fact that its comedic. 2 thumbs up. lol

moments of grace.

make me a chan­nel of Your Peace.
where there is hatred, let me sow love.
where there is injury, par­don.
where there is dis­cord, har­mony.
where there is doubt, faith.
where there is despair, hope.
where there is dark­ness, light.
where there is sor­row, joy.

o Mas­ter, grant that I may not
so much seek to be con­soled as to con­sole;
to be under­stood as to under­stand;
to be loved as to love;
for it is in giv­ing that we receive;
it is in par­don­ing that we are par­doned;
and it is in dying that we are born to Eter­nal Life.

…thanks for the reminder on how to live, st. francis.

Wonderful, Merciful, Savior.

love is hard.

the path to peace does not include a pit­stop at hate. or indif­fer­ence. only love. and when thats not enough. love harder.

MAN UP.

watch­ing this com­mer­cial, and read­ing this arti­cle just fur­ther rein­forces the truths that as Jesus teaches me to love, St. Joseph teaches me to man up.
