The movie Epic Elvis in Concert

 I saw this movie last night. I still haven't recovered. His love of performing, and his love for God elevated his artistry. An All American Artist ❣️

All the movie previews looked awful. I'm not interested in movies about people stealing and having haughty attitudes. Even the Star Wars trailer looked ghastly.  Baby Yoda looks minty like he's menthol flavored.

Not a Fan

 I happened upon a news article about a music group named Green Day.  It gave me a few memories and a laugh. Several years back a 70+ woman (who voted for Trump) told me she was going to a Green Day concert. I asked Why? Her friend that worked at a big corp. got free tickets and invited her. The other laugh was back in the 90's I was at a bar. A guy who was deaf, yes deaf. Told me he like Green Day,  because the album was called Dookie, and it meant poop and he could wear a t-shirt that said dookie and he thought that was funny. The irony a deaf likes your band hahahaha. Old ladies go to your concert because the senior discount hahahaha

I know what inspired this

 I know the person that created the original event that inspired this but it wasn't a girl doing the knighting. In fact it was before girls were allowed to join the " Boy Scouts of America ".

 Turning Point USA America Fest. 

I noticed a few off the wall things, like I'm known to do. They had several different podium styles. The speakers at the opaque white podium cast a shadow. Making it look like they had a tail.  I found it fascinating since we all have a shadow side. Being reminded while listening to a presentation can distract from what is being said. It can also cause revulsion, or encourage a fear bias.

The shadow tails perhaps focused my attention towards other dual meanings. Social media was calling it Am Fest.  Now this noticing is move convoluted. TPUSA is thought of as a Christian based organization. I think most people understand Christianity has been hijacked. Aside from being a Christian org, it welcomes other religious beliefs. Now I don't want to define "other religious beliefs" because I don't want to focus on any belief because it isn't specific. It's vague and general. The use of the term Am Fest got be thinking about the new age movement of I Am, the hierarchy of rainbow colors, and the followers of St. Germain.  The nudging towards a hijacked version of being part of the body of Christ. I'm watching and praying for truth. The theatrical distractions find our blindspots, fears, and unresolved  moments we've encountered along our journey.  Numerous conversations could follow. Perhaps I'll be inspired.

Journalists vs Baby Jesus

 The news presenters are having a good time. Showing off caged animals. First calling them pigs. The fairgrounds decided to put a donkey, a goat, and two sheep together. Animal therapy, and love in the morning. I don't know why the news station would promote such an odd display. Perhaps it's a science project  to document what happens when different animals live together. It is news for Seattle which I think it's known for being a wealthy tech industry base. The holiday glee will be exponential at the retelling during the ugly sweater contest scheduled for later in the week. I don't want to minimize the value of good natured fun. The high GPA students from good families having a laugh is important. Having to dress modest, and follow strict etiquette can feel like a ton of bricks. A burden lightened by holiday mirth.
