Allen hosted a showing of “Facing the Giants” in our Worship Center this evening. The movie boasted a surprisingly good script with some genuinely humorous lines, a few touching moments, and some solid underscoring. All of these elements were just slightly able to overshadow the not-so-wonderful acting segments that popped up more often than I would have liked. Overall… this movie was one that I would definitely recommend for those searching for a family movie with an inspirational message centering on the phrase… ”with God all things are possible”. I cannot believe that this whole production was created by Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany, Georgia on a budget of only $100,000 (and it grossed more than 10 million). 

When we arrived home… I was so inspired to FACE THE GIANTS in my life… that I took a brand new can of WD-40 and attacked everything that was “hinged” within our Maryland Weaver Casa. In my opinion… there are not many smells that top the beautiful aroma of WD-40 at work on some creaky, crappy, can’t-wait-to-be-greased hinge. So… for about 30 minutes… I was lost in the passion (and aroma) of my giant-slaying. I greased every hinge I could find… from each door hinge in the Greystone (three per door)… to the hinges on the dish washer… to the hinges on the sliding-glass back door… to the hinges that attach the toilet seats onto the toilet bowls. My mission was not complete… until my loving wife… lovingly yanked the can from my hand… and hid it somewhere in the garage.

I love the smell of WD-40… and tomorrow… I have vowed to find that hidden can (or trudge out into the frozen tundra of Delmar to purchase another one…) and attack the door hinges, door handles, and other random moving objects on the Mitsubishi and the Jeep.

When you are looking for an entertainingly redundant list to perlustrate… I recommend “2000 Unofficial uses for WD-40“. ENJOY!!! (btw… I encourage uses #110, #288, #526, #552, #592, #806, #842, #1284, #1426, and the all-important #1956)
