This excellent-quality film voices the heart of a nation seeking the redemption of the priceless values that the United States of America is built upon.*
Stand with me this November as we spread the truth of Jesus Christ and the good values upon which our nation was built. Your country is waiting for you, for we the people are the flesh of America, and our values the backbone.
This election, vote your conscience. Cast your vote for what you believe, not what you want. Your personal decision counts. and each and every vote makes a difference.
Please, stand.

*We are not only built upon the high principles that define our constitution, but upon God, (that is Jesus Christ,) who graciously guided our forefathers in laying the foundations of our once-great America.
P.S. God bless all the Catholic and Protestant Christians who helped lead America to victory and finally becoming an independent nation. For all their sweat, blood, prayers, and love, that went into the founding of our America. God bless, always, -b
Lord, please help me to be able to make films. Thank you for the grace you have allowed me and showing me how to get this far.
May the road ahead be brighter than the night behind, may the sun rise swiftly upon my weary face, may my soul be refreshed at the springs of justice, my hope renewed at the wells of mercy.
May my path be guided upon each turn I make, and may my feet find swiftly the road I am to take.
God bless me, my friends, and all those who want to be filmmakers. May our journey be sweet and ushered upon the dirt paths to quiet victory, down the dales of February frost and early June flowers, to the river of conquest unto the sea of rest.
Gustav is a hurricane currently in class 3. Perhaps it will reach a number 5 by the time it has landfall. Is this another hurricane Katrina? Maybe not, but still the same, let us pray that God will save those who are in need.
To find out more about Gustav and where it’s headed, see here:
P.S. Side note: Robin Hood the show is an inspiration to me. Evermore I feel an urge to film something couragous … I hope we can do it! 😀 BTW, please pray!
It is a JVC Everio GZ-HD7, and I tested it out this evening by recording a message given by Dr. Narendra Singh, and also interviewing him personally afterwards. I recorded some additional footage of people’s conversations with Dr. Singh, etc., but I will most likely not be posting that. I hope to post both the message and the interview online sometime soon. (I recorded them in SP, though sometime in the future I may do most of my filming in FullHD.) Oh, and Dr. Singh said I did a good job, and that he would be praying for me. 😉 Praise God for that!
Praise God!
I hope to start doing some film making, inteviews, and more, but I can’t forget to do my other duties in life, or forget my talents.
Well, I guess that’s all for now! Going to be trying out my camera in nature, filming Green Bank, working on film pre-production, and brainstorming film ideas!
God bless,
Thanks for listening! (and I always appreciate your prayers.)

P.S. Dr. Narendra Singh believes he will die as a martyr (for Jesus Christ.) May God protect him till his time comes, and may many more come to Jesus before, and after, that time.
The Super Nintendo game “Illusion of Gaia” is quite fun! You can check out the rom.
Just found out real recently a way to do the subtitles for “Miracle In Gansu” (filmed play to DVD) by hand! This is great! Finding some LOTR subtitle files for The Fellowship of the Ring (check out this subtitle site, Subscene,) I opened one up in GVIM, and I can edit it! Yahoo! That means I can do the MIG (Miracle In Gansu to DVD) subtitles and work to finish up the project. (I may post more about MIG later.)
Tomorrow the Everio GZ-HD7 camcorder should arrive, and in the evening I will test it out on a service with guest speaker Dr. Singh, a man of God from India. He risks his life for Jesus Christ, and he will not back down! Glory to God.
As the days and hours close in on whether or not to buy the DV camcorder right now, I must step away from the situation and listen.
I have considered getting a DV camcorder for a short while now, and one person that I have asked is my friend John Calloway (http://johncalloway.wordpress.com/) who has supplied some great information and helped me in this long and tedious camera hunt. Really, it hasn’t been that long or tedious, but it sounded good.
Anyhow, I am greatly indebted to John (thanks John!) because I am so new to this field of film media that I don’t know where to start when looking for a good camera. Thanks bunches!
And I have decided which camera I want. Notice I say “want”. The JVC Everio GZ-HD7, (see product the page here) a good HD camera with a Fujinon lens, 3CCds, a manual focus wheel, pixel-shift technology, widescreen, etc., and it looks so good!
But I wonder and must pause, because perhaps I am not supposed to get a DV camcorder right now…
I have slightly considered getting a low-end model (for what I am considering) such as this Sony (see here,) or even a mid-range model, and then later, when the time comes, upgrade to a camera like this (the XH A1.)
But still the issue stands whether or not to get a DV camcorder at all at this point in time. I know what camera I want, and that it would be great to have it, but … we’ll see what happens in the coming days, hours, and moments (the moments are the most important of them all.)
And with that, I take a swoosh of my hat and a curtious bow, and say “Goodnight, goodnight, to all a sweet goodnight!”
Ciao,

P.S. I understand if you do not know why on Earth I am waiting to get the camera when I have the money to and want to, but when you are in a situation like this, between a rock and a hard place, you’ll understand my hesitation. Until then, I can only ask for prayer for wisdom and submission. Thanks a lot!
Below are two recent accounts from Christians who have come in contact with the “Ex-Amish”, Amish who have been excommunicated from their communities because of their faith in Jesus Christ the Savior.
NOTE: Names from the exceprts have been changed to preserve the privacy of those involved.
We were with the ‘ex-Amish’ last night. They are an amazing people. Jesus is doing amazing things. All of the couples are younger than us. At their service the other night with over 120 people, there were no older people. They have large families. Five or six years ago, there were just a few families who were saved and meeting together. Now there are at least 20 families, I think. They have a passion for Jesus.
The Amish believe you do the best you can and you might make it to heaven. You won’t know until judgment day.
Hannah told how they lived in a house on the same property as her parents. When she and her husband got saved, her parents sold their house and moved away because they couldn’t stand to be near them. Others have been officially excommunicated. Some of their Amish families keep contact with them hesitantly.
Mary told what a big hurdle it was to drive a car to her parents for the first time (as opposed to a buggy). She was afraid they would be very angry. Jesus had softened their hearts and it wasn’t a big deal.
Rebekah shared how angry she was as an Amish young person that she wasn’t allowed to continue her education past 8th grade. She talked to me excitedly about how much she is looking forward to homeschool her son in the upper grades.
Joseph told how he is from an Amish family in Pennsylvania. His brother got saved and started reading the English Bible to Joseph. The Amish are only allowed to read the Bible in German (an old German) and the Amish use some German in everyday talk, but not enough of the vocabulary that the Bible uses to understand the reading of it. Joseph then got saved once he knew what the Bible really said. Their family was so mad and so persecuted his brother that his brother became depressed and put in a mental hospital for awhile. That is when the believers in PA moved Joseph here to Indiana because the family began to persecute him as well.
The spirit of these people is so sweet. They are very open and active in evangelizing the Amish community. I suppose that is why they are growing so much.
Even while we were with them last night, a teen relative of one of the men called him on the phone. This Amish boy was at an Amish drinking party with his friends and he was challenging his relative to come over and talk to them. They find the saved ex-Amish entertaining. The boys even agreed to listen to a sermon CD. So, all the men at our gathering packed up in a van and headed over there. Looking forward to hearing the rest of the story! Even though the saved know that these youth don’t always take them seriously, they know that seeds are being planted and some do get saved.
Karin writes: Another story of an Amish conversion. This is my mom writing about a couple that was at an RFOD Sunday School class in Clare Michigan this past weekend.
But there was an Amish couple there. She still dresses like our Amish
in Grabill… no buttons, long dress, and white bonnet. He has changed
to where he wears shirts with buttons and even a little color in his
shirt.
In the class I was trying to really figure them out.
I wish I could remember all the story, but evidently he would drive by
the church there and every time the Lord will tell him to call Pastor
Paul. He said himself that he was very stubborn and wouldn’t do it.
He evidently was very sick of the Amish way.
One day he was so depressed that he took a gun to his mouth.
I think it was then that the Lord spoke to him in an audible voice,
and essentially said, “Put that gun down and call Pastor Paul.”
So he finally did and that started a wonderful relationship.
It took another year or so until his wife started coming with him to the Clare Christ Fellowship. I guess they are very regular in their attendance now. They have been rejected by
family and the Amish church. Even his own grandmother will not talk with him now.
I guess he is a wonderful wood craftsman, and can make about anything, and does it very well. I got to talking more to him at the meal, and he is quite a talker and interesting to listen too. Very different in many ways, but interesting.
Praise the Lord for how He helped! I appreciate the standards of the Amish communities, but I greater appreciate those who are willing to break free of anything that holds them from doing what God wants them to.
