Thor in 3-D Hammers Christianity?

As a boy I enjoyed reading sagas and myths, so I was looking forward to this "Thor in 3-D" release.

Some interesting twists were added to the ancient story and, though it was no breakthrough motion picture, it was fun to watch -- certainly closer to the heroic image than the Thor character in Adventures in Babysitting!
I have searched and have been frustrated to find an image of his hammer when it is taken from Thor. But it seems to me that an early Christian Trinitarian symbol was impressed upon it as it was cast down to earth for him to recover.

National Day of Prayer and Cinco de Mayo

“It is better to think of church in the ale-house than to think of the ale-house in church. “
Martin Luther

This year the National Day of Prayer and Cinco de Mayo fall on the same day. So, following Luther’s advice, some 15 church members joined to think of church and prayer in an ale-house (Mexican-themed). We heard the National Day of Prayer proclamation and raised a toast in beverages of choice to God’s love and our freedom to worship. And we prayed in public.To see the 2011 Proclamation: click here.

May 1: Interpersonal Wellness - I

May and June are often times of relationship celebrations – Mothers’ Day, Fathers’ Day, weddings, family reunions, out of town visitors. Some of these gatherings are out of obligation; others are a joy as we reconnect with loved ones, renew relationships, and share our recent experiences.

God created us to live in a web of relationships. What was it that God said of the first person, even in the Garden of Eden? “It is not good that the man should be alone…” (Genesis 2:18a). Whether we live in a nuclear family, a blended family, an extended family, or as single by choice or circumstance, the Lord knows we need company / companions – sometimes many, sometimes a few, sometimes only one. Alone we can become so focused on our own view that we forget the need for connection or even in relationships with others, if we are isolated or shut-out, we miss the necessary connections that make us whole persons. Now, I am not saying every person has to be married to be complete, nor as I merely saying “everybody, needs somebody sometime” (I will leave that to the old singer Dean Martin.) But we are persons who need relationships to grow into the full child of God we are intended to be – relationships with loved ones by birth and by choice. Yet, even the best other person is not enough. We also need a relationship with God and the people of God. We recognize that truth when we talk about the church as the family of faith.
