Saw Evan Almighty last Friday. Delightful and Funny. Quite meaningful too and just can't help putting this trivial thing down as a reminder.
Three scenes that especially touches me personally.
When God first appears to Evan when he prayed for "Change the World", here is God's answer, " One single Act of Random Kindness at a time". This especially moves me deeply as this just coincides with what my Teachers have been telling me about Selfless Service.
The second scene that touches me is when Evan's wife decided to leave him thinking that he is insane. I felt it deeply the kind of loneliness when one is to follow God onto one's journey. That kind of struggle as an ordinary human being to follow which way, the Man's way or the God's way.
Of course the third scene is the resolution of the conflict above by God's hand. God appeared in front of Evan's wife (Joan) and said this, "Let me ask you something. If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other?"

Where do you got out all the wording of all that, I got the attention on the ARK bit..... probably I went to watch the movie for a relax and ain't gone for a research.....
All in all I do enjoy watching this one
The exact wording I got from imdb.com la. In a way I am going through a similar process and the movie touches me quite deeply.
