New Fall Shows Reviewed

A few weeks ago I posted a list of my most anticipated new Fall shows. Some have met me expectations, some exceeded, while other have fallen well short. Here are my thumbs up, thumbs down, and TBD of the new season.

1) Elementary (Tuesdays 10pm CBS) TBD

2) Revolution (Mondays 10pm NBC) Thumb Down

3) Arrow (Wednesdays 8pm CW) TBD

4) 666 Park Avenue (Sundays 10pm ABC) Thumb Up

5) The Mindy Project (Tuesdays 9:30pm FOX) Thumb Down

6) Animal Practice (Wednesdays 8pm NBC) Thumb Down

7) Ben and Kate (Tuesdays 8:30pm FOX) Thumb Down

8) Guys and Kids (Wednesdays 8:30pm NBC) Thumb Down

As far as my favorite returning shows...

Dexter is back! It's off to a great start. Let's hope this season make us fans forget last season ever happened.

The NBC Thursday night shows are all off to solid starts. 30 Rock and The Office are in their farewell seasons and Parks & Rec is remaining fresh with new story lines and locations.

I've given up on New Girl. Same jokes week after week. Not a very smart comedy.

Modern Family and The Middle are off to terrific starts! My two favorite families on TV!

This week The Walking Dead, Duck Dynasty, and American Horror Story are back!!!

My "Crazy Love" Small Group Discussion Questions

Image
I've had the opportunity to lead several small groups based of the Francis Chan book "Crazy Love". The discussion questions that come with the DVD study leaves a lot to be desired. So through my own personal questions and questions from other "Crazy Love" resources online I've been able to develope a more indepth study of the book. Below are the questions I have used for all 10 chapters of the book study. Feel free to use them as you'd like. Chapter 1: Stop Praying Stop and think about the last prayer you voiced. How did you begin? Our Father? Dear Lord? Jesus? What word or phrase did you use to start the prayer? Now, take a minute and consider the prayer you prayed before that prayer. How did you begin? Same word or phrase? Different? Sorta different or radically different? If you begin all your prayers in much the same way, ask yourself why. Read these words from G. K. Chesterton: A child kicks its legs rhythmically through excess, not absence,

Her Story: Does Satan really exist? Many United Methodists see evil as more subtle.

After spending much of my full time ministry life in the United Methodist Church, I found this article very interesting. It's written by Mary Jacobs and she nails the fact that most UMCers are scared to death to mention the "S" word (Satan) or the "D" word (Devil). Jesus stood up to him. Plenty of Christians talk about him. And some blame all sorts of evil on him. But likely you won’t hear his name tossed around much in a United Methodist Church. Could it be... Satan? “For the most part, you don’t hear mainline Protestants talking about Satan, the devil or the demonic,” said Jaime Clark-Soles, associate professor of New Testament at Perkins School of Theology. “I think we’ve handed that kind of language over to the fundamentalists.” Though Methodism founder John Wesley talked about Satan in his sermons, the United Methodist Church has no official doctrine on the devil or the demonic. Few Methodist ministers in the U.S., it seems, preach about Satan as a personal

My Office Quotes: Goodbye, Toby (Plus my thoughts on the Finale and Office Spin-off news)

After a subpar season of The Office (I'll blame the writers strike for that), last nights season four finale was not only the best Office finale yet but one of their best episodes ever. From the awkwardness, gut wrenching conversations and situations, to the many surprise twist and the multiple story lines being set up for season five, there is no way the writers could have pulled off any better of an episode. Well done!! 4 Stars! Spin-Off News NBC has confirmed that there will be an Office Spin-off show debuting next season. The current thought it is will begin after the Superbowl. Here is the NBC link http://www.nbc.com/Primetime/The_Office_Spin-Off/index.shtml Now to the quotes... Michael Scott: Today is Toby Flenderson's last day. I couldn't sleep last night. [cuts to clips of Michael dancing around the empty office] I came in extra early, so much energy. There's certain days that you know you will remember for the rest of your life. And I just have a feeling that
