Watching Joseph


I've been begging to show a movie for Friday night Church service. We finally did.
The pluses(+):
* It brought in a lot of people. (if you wanna pack the house, in Haiti, show a movie)
*The first half of the movie had some pretty good subjects that every one of us struggle with(jeolousy, anger, hate, temptation)
*I believe people are really looking forward to finishing the movie next week.

The negtives(-)
*Getting the sound to work was a bit tricky so i am glad Nixon started to set up 45 minutes
before church started.
*Some of the film is a bit, YIKES! Remember Potiphar's wife, let's just say this movie really
captures her. Nixon was quick to fast forward Potiphar's wife's naughty behaviour. Though it was a bit heated, i hope that Joseph refusing to sin against the Lord impacted the youth in the audience(everyone, for that matter).

The movie is 180 minutes long, so we only watched the first half (although I am glad we didn't even go a full 2 hours since some of the church was having an all night prayer vigil and I am sure they were ready to get started.)

I think it went very well, I pray the Lord was glorified last night. The movie we saw was Ted Turner's Joseph. It is very well done, if you haven't seen it. Amazon has good prices on this particular Bible Collection. Nixon loves them so we've started collecting them.
So far we have Esther, Joseph, Jeremiah, and Moses.

It was interesting to see the deaf response to Potiphar's wife. One asked another.."wait..isn't she married?" I think they got it.
