DAILY CALL SHEET: JUNE 15, 2024

 

Frailty (2001) At the insistence of an FBI agent, a secretive man recalls growing up with his late father, a serial killer who believed all his victims were demons in disguise whom God personally instructed him to dispose of. Being a good father, his hope was that his sons would follow in his footsteps. But did they? Both starring and directed by Bill Paxton, Frailty is an engrossing little indie horror that makes you wish Paxton had filled both seats more often.

TIL: One of the aspects of Christianity that makes it hard yet worthwhile is that God does actually interact with you and make demands (though not to be an axe murderer). Belief systems like simple deism which promote an abstract, undemanding, hands-off God, are ultimately lazy and unfulfilling. As it is with the other people in our lives, it's the personal relationship with God that makes it all meaningful.

I HAVE SOME NOTES: Sharing more miscellaneous musings on my daily Scripture readings.
