When Will the Madness in Burma Stop?
Burma has now pulled another stunt affecting its prisoners, political and criminal. The junta issued a dismissal of the Red Cross humanitarian activity in tending to prisoners. See the brief article here.
The military dictatorship of Burma is one of the worst in the world. Numerous minorites are oppressed by teh government, including the millions of indigenous Shan-Dai. When will the madness stop? When will the U.S. consider applying its world policing of terror in Burma?
We can’t wait for the governments to cooperate. Pray for Burma, the peoples of Burma today, that God would empower social, economic, political and spiritual transformation. Pray for the missionaries working in those countries to be given vision, resources, and power to effect this change.

Dejavu
Dejavu , directed by Jerry Bruckheimer, starring Denzel Washington (unusually smiley), Val Kilmer (a bit hefty), and Jim Caviezel (not so Jesus), is one of the best films I have seen that blends solid acting, intelligent plot development, creative and gripping special effects, entertaining action, and theological dialogue.
Without introducing a spoiler, suffice it to say that the action is classic Bruckheimer, the narrative christocentric, the dialogue at once deterministic and voltarian, and the conclusion pleasing. Colored by speculation on parallel universe theory and the dejavu phenomenon, the film delivers and eclectic yet cohesive action film filled with philosophy.
Lines such as, “What if you had to tell somebody the most important thing in the world, but you knew they would never believe you? I would tell them anyway. You never know what people will believe.” invite dialogue and reflection.
Check it out, with a friend, and explore these finely filmed themes.
