There Will Be Blood (Paul Thomas Anderson, 2008)
BY: Denis Haack
There Will be Blood is a brutally honest, brutally violent film. Greedy souls are dissected in plain view on the screen, hard souls for whom truth is a weapon, wealth is a god, and power is embraced in an unrelenting push to win, regardless of the cost.

Thirteen (Catherine Hardwicke, 2003)
BY: Denis Haack
Girl culture. It’s everywhere—in schools, malls, television, popular magazines—girls in barely-there midriffs and towering spike heels, sporting tattoos and fashion runway make-up, strutting their stuff and living way too hard and fast for their adolescent years.

There are tulips on my desk, and I saw my first robin yesterday, clear signals that winter is losing its grip on the landscape. The newspaper reported an ice jam on a nearby river that forced the closure of several roads. Chunks of ice the size of dinner tables slammed through a county park. Even something as glorious of the arrival of spring is never as perfectly smooth as we would hope in this broken world. We are, as my spiritual mentor used to say, glorious ruins.
Finding what it means to flourish as broken human being in an imperfect world is what Ransom is about. We believe in Jesus Christ, though often find ourselves dismayed at what passes for Christianity in our postmodern world. We hope what you find on this site will be helpful in your own pilgrimage, regardless of where you happen to find yourself at the moment.
