"
There are some things about which the believer can be absolutely sure. He knows, for instance, that God sits at the controls even when the ship rocks the most. He believes that an invisible hand is always on the world’s rudder and that wherever providence may drift Jehovah steers it. That reassuring knowledge prepares him for everything. He looks over the raging waters and sees the spirit of Jesus walking on the waves, and he hears a voice saying, ‘It is I; don’t be afraid.’
“He knows too that God is always wise, and knowing this he is confident that there can be no accidents, no mistakes— that nothing can occur that shouldn’t have happened. He can say, ‘Even if I lose all that I have, it is better that I should lose it than have it, if God so wills. The worst calamity is the wisest and the kindest thing that could happen to me if God ordains it.’

The Little Red Plane - NEW MOVIE WEBSITE!
Well folks, here’s the initial website for me and my best buddy’s first movie together:
http://www.littleredplanefilm.com/
Me and Peter co-wrote it over winter, spring and summer of 2008, and we shot it on location in the Louisiana bayou over November and December of the same year. I directed it, he shot it. After seven months of editing and post-production, the film is nearly completed, and premiers to a semi-private screening on August 22. Distribution has not been figured out yet, but we have a festival circuit we want to put it through before we make it available for purchase.
This is a dream coming true before my eyes! I have wanted to direct films for years and years, and now it’s a reality! I can’t wait to do another one. We’re extremely excited about the whole thing, to say the least. Let us know what you think about the website. :)

Righteousness means “doing what’s right” - plain and simple. To be a righteous man or woman should be the goal of every spiritually-minded person. Righteousness is the other virtue talked about in the book of Proverbs, besides wisdom. It is the most god-like of qualities, besides holiness. It is what God imputed to Abraham, “the Father of all believers,” because of his faith. It is the quality the Pharisees envied in Jesus, but never attained themselves. It is what separates “God’s people” from everyone else. It is what we as humans subconsciously crave more than anything else.
The opposite of righteousness is sin, and the opposite of a righteous person is a wicked person. Righteousness can also be called “justice,” which is what the knights of old called it. “Righteousness” and “justice” are used almost interchangeably in scripture. A just man does what’s right, a righteous judge is always just in his judgement. Justice is one of the things God says we should fight for. (Isaiah 1:17; Deuteronomy 10:18, 16:20; etc.)
Like Superman - he fights for truth, justice and the American way (or, freedom). He fights for exactly the same things all the best men and women who have ever lived fought for. Truth is what a free man thinks, justice is what a truthful man does, freedom is what a just man enjoys. The three go hand-in-hand. You lose one of these, you lose all three. If Americans ever lose their love of truth, they’ll lose their justice and their freedom. If they ever lose their love for justice, they’ll lose freedom and truth. If they lose their love of freedom, they’ll lose truth and justice. These are the three things every great civilization, and every great life, is built on.
