Another Movie Idea

Okay, kinda worked out another idea based on Tamar and Amnon. It certainly wouldn't be PG, but i'd try to keep it as clean as possible, what with the story line.

Tamar: Daughter of Absalom, son of King David. She is a young beautiful teen who is named for her Aunt Tamar, a quiet, desolate figure who isolates herself from the rest of the family. Tamar's upcoming marriage serves as a catalyst to draw out the story of her aunts sorid past, and the truth about her father.

(Aunt) Tamar: a young beautiful princess living in her father's house. From a distance she has seen her handsome half-brother Amnon, but living as a virgin in her father's house prevents her from seeing him. When the King commands her to take care of Amnon in his illness, she eagerly goes, only to find that Amnon had faked his illness. When she refuses Amnon's demands to sleep with him, he overpowers her and takes what he wants anyways. Afterwards, he throws her out in disgust, despite her pleas, and she lives the rest of her life in the house of her brother Absalom, a isolated, tragic soul. She goes with her brother when he flees Israel after killing Anmon, and stays with hims, helping to raise his daughter Tamar, who he named after her.

Anmon: A handsome but narcisstic man who spends his days living in luxery and pleasure. When he sees his beautiful half-sister Tamar, he makes himself ill with desire until his cousin helps him to come up with a plan. He succeeds in raping his half-sister, only to hate her many times more than he loved her. He sends her away in shame. Two years later, Amnon is killed by his half-brother Absalom, Tamar's brother.

Absalom: a shewed, ambitious man who becomes enraged when he hears of the injustice his sister has recieved. Biding his time, he eventually takes his revenge by killing his brother Amnon and fleeing to a differnt country for three years. His sister Tamar stays as part of his household.


So, that's the basic plot. I have a lot to work on, as there really isn't THAT much in scripture about the whole thing, and i just realized that only 5 years passed from when Tamar was raped and when Absalom came back to Isreal, meaning daughter Tamar would have remembered some of what happend....hmmm. Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions?

South Asia Nursing: Uncovered!!!

So, for those who care to read, here you will find a briefly detailed summay of my trip to South Asia with CBU's ISP nursing team. For security purposes, I will not be stating the names of countries or cities we were in, and the names of the workers in country have been changed. Enjoy! The trip started like all ISP trips: at the globe. After a time of prayer, we headed out for our 14 hour trans-pacific flight. We landed in Hong Kong only to discover that there were currently strikes going on in our country (we'll call it B.D., which stands for Beautiful Darkness because the land was so beautiful, but so full of spiritual darkness). So, we had to stay the night in Hong Kong. It was fun and we were excited we were able to get out of the airport, because originally we had a 13hr layover or something crazy like that. So, we saw a bit of the city, including the batman tower from the Hong Kong scene in The Dark Knight. Finally we flew out of the bustling hot sticky city, and made our...

Just some random thoughts floating in my head

I was looking at my friend's pictures today, and I realized that I wasn't there for a lot of them. This made me very sad. In a way, I feel like I missed out on a lot this summer. Apparently they had another tribal night. How did I miss that? And I was working when they did deep fried candy bars, though I did get to stop by for a few minutes. How did I manage to miss the shoe-tree? I think I forgot about it, so that's kind of my fault. But yeah, I feel like I missed out on a lot this summer. Leaves a rather unsatisfactory taste on the pallet. So, I really want to try to eat healthy and be more active and maybe shed a few pounds this semester. I usually do really good. Until I get some craving for ice cream or soda or some other sugar filled carbohydrate (yes, that's a bit redundant ). Usually I cave. Which makes me wonder: if I really cared about losing weight, I wouldn't cave. But, I really do want to lose weight!! Isn't there some way to like, balance being act...
