A Trip Down Memory Lane

From here.

Now if you are wondering what in the world I'm talking about, then you need to watch "The Princess Bride." Over, and over again. It's only one of the greatest movies, ever.

You'll never be the same.

And you'll never lack for sermon illustrations! Here's a few classic scenes....




The Story of Inigo Montoya





The Wedding..."Mawaige"





The Battle of Wits


And for you Princess Bride fans, here is a movie trivia quiz....





And now, for a little known fact, both the six-fingered man and Inigo Montoya were trained in the Jedi arts.

I was curious to know how the Princess Bride illustrations translated into the Peruvian context.

I'm enjoying the fact that you're blogging regularly. Keep it up!

I'd like to get in early (or maybe late by now) with a lunch appointment for when y'all come back to BCS.

Hey Kyle,

Actually, I don't use them here b/c most people have never even heard of the movie (insert "gasp" here).

Glad to have you as one of my handful of readers. Keep it up!

We definitely have to get together in Aggieland. We'll be in for a few days around the middle of August looking for a house to rent, and then we'll be off visiting the grandparents.

Give your bride a hug for us.
