Dear Reader,

  Have you seen the movie, "Bruce Almighty"? It is so funny and worth
  renting (on DVD). The following are some good lines from the movie
  that I would like to share with you.
  "People ask me to do everything for them when they have the power to
   do it themselves."
  "Be the miracle!"
  "And that's the way the cookie crumples." (Def: "That's the way
   things go.")
  To get the most out of the movie, I would suggest watching it twice.
  First with the English subtitle (words at the bottom) turned on, and
  then again with it turned off (only listening).

  I've seen it 3 times with my older students already and I still like
  it. There were some Christian materials that I needed to "fill them
  in on" so they can understand the humor better (e.g. parting of the
  Red Sea by Moses becomes parting of the tomato soup). This is a
  movie that has a lot of comical observations about American culture
  (not all of it untrue). Let's hope if you were given the same Godly
  opportunity, you can do a better job ^_^ I don't know if I would
  want the job. Do you?

  There is also a movie which I've found excellent for younger
  children. It is called "The Iron Man" and you can rent it from your
  neighborhood Blockbusters. The ending is so powerful and moving that
  tears come to my eye every time I see it (I've watched it 8 times
  already). Tip: the part where the robot jumps in the lake is very
  funny and you might want to pause and play it again.

  Last week, I promised to show you some special pictures (below). Did
  you know everyday you spend a lot of time awake with our eyes open?
  However, have the things around you made an "visual impression" on
  you? I have collected some pictures to help stimulate your memories.
  Have a look and tell me what you see. Email me your answers (note
  the "special" email address below). Don't be shy.

  I need your help on something. I would like to write this JacksonFive
  Newsletter every week (wouldn't that be fun), but I need some advice
  and support from you.
