13 Days in October

Last night I watched "13 Days" with Kevin Costner. I know that media does not always "get it right", and that often what is presented can be "tinted" (to put it nicely) to a certain political view point. However, I think this movie was well done. I think they portrayed the military guys as over-zealous meatheads who only wanted war, but that may have been an accurate portrayal of the men. But it was not over the top either. It also did a good job of showing exactly how much tension there was in the world during this period of the cold war. Thanks to all who posted the encouragement yesterday. Verse for today: 1 Corinthians 10:1-13, ESV For I want you to know, brothers, [1] that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, and all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual Rock that followed them, and the Rock was Christ. Nevertheless, with most of them God was not pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness. Now these things took place as examples for us, that we might not desire evil as they did. Do not be idolaters as some of them were; as it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play.” We must not indulge in sexual immorality as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in a single day. We must not put Christ [2] to the test, as some of them did and were destroyed by serpents, nor grumble, as some of them did and were destroyed by the Destroyer. Now these things happened to them as an example, but they were written down for our instruction, on whom the end of the ages has come. Therefore let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall. No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
