Colossians 3:1-17 Provides a great amount of instruction for how a Christian should pursue holiness and godly living.  This post is the first in a three part series where we will uncover what this passage has to say about this important topic.  Paul wants his readers to pursue holiness and godly living because of who they are in Christ.  He writes:

1 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.  2 Set your minds on the things that are above, not on the things that are on Earth.  3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.  4 When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in Glory..

Over the past few weeks several people have asked me what I thought about 23 Blast?  How did it feel having a movie made about my life? And What this whole experience has been like?  So, I thought I would put my thoughts in a blog post.  Hearing or typing the words “a movie made about my life” is something I am still having trouble wrapping my mind around.  The one word that best describes my thoughts on the situation is “bizarre.”  This entire experience from the first time I was contacted about the project, to meeting Dylan and Gary in the fall, to my first night on the set, to hanging out and having dinner with the cast,  has all just been a bizarre experience.  In many ways it just does not seem to be real.  It is like I am living in a dream and I am going to wake up at any point.  The experience while bizarre has also been incredible.  The cast and crew have been extremely nice and easy to talk with.  They have all put up with my many questions and have been a joy to get to know.  I am extremely excited to see how the movie turns out.
