I was most impacted by Lecrae talking about his conference experience, specifically seeing others exist within their culture but fervently pursuing Jesus. He’d clearly never been exposed to the possibility of being an indigenous missionary up to that point and it gave him new life, new breath, new meaning.

Did you know that God has you right where he wants you? He has you in this place, this time, this moment, for a reason. Do you know that reason? Big picture, it’s to worship Him and glorify Him in all you do.

But how are you connected to the culture around you? Whether it’s being involved in your kids’ sports, or in a college function, or your work, you are where you are for a purpose.

I am an advocate of making disciples of all nations. I’ve been to Guatemala more than once and I know it’s a big part of God’s mission. But your daily commute, that coffee you pick up on your way to class or the office, the errands and chores you run, the sports arena you frequent… that’s your local missions field. The parents, friends, classmates and coworkers you rub shoulders with… they need reached, told about the saving grace of Christ.

Missions isn’t something you do. It’s something you live.

Trick ‘r Treat – this is a new one we just watched last year and it’s instantly become part of our yearly repertoire. It has the right mix of camp, scares and gore. Be sure to check it out if you haven’t!

The Blair Witch Project – more for old time sentiment than anything, Blair Witch is one of those we have to watch because, when it came out, it went viral before there was such a thing as “going viral.” A mockumentary on TV made everyone question whether the Blair Witch Project was real or not, adding that extra oomph to the scare factor of this movie.

Insidious – we just watched this recently so it won’t make a comeback until Halloween 2012. BUT, if you haven’t seen this movie, make it part of your late night viewing one October evening. It’s got the right mix of creepy and scary and the end of the movie does not disappoint.

OK, your turn. Make at least one recommendation in the comments—what’s your favorite Halloween movie or movies! Go go go!

Soak it in.

You’re welcome.

This video charged me up and woke me up.

I’d love to know your thoughts in the comments.

Do you ever feel mired by the office environment? Why is that? Is it our fault for the culture we create and promote? How can we change things?

Batman has nearly unlimited resources.

Aquaman can breathe under water.

Hawkman is… well, half hawk, half man.

Daredevil has better-than-sight sonar instead of regular vision.

Wolverine’s skeleton is covered in a nearly indestructible metal.

Iron Man has a powered suit of armor that can do just about anything.

And of course, Superman has everything.

If you could have one superpower, what would it be? And what would your weakness be?
