Next week I'll learn if I have prostate cancer. The numbers are going up, I'm in the age range. The MRI will tell more.

I saw this movie today on PureFlix. It was a little hard to watch, owing to its painful subject. Darryl Worley's performance as the abjectly heartbroken dad puts you right where it would feel like to be him. Jessica Bell is convincing as the devastated mom. Kate Kilcoyne is winning in her dual roles (see the movie). And the incomparable Jefferson Moore is the most sincere and captivating spiritual being I've ever seen (he stars in other great movies and shows, e.g., The Perfect Stranger).

The 3 is written well, directed well, filmed well, delivered in a simple almost Spartan setting like a stage play.

I won't spoil the movie by sharing details -- but after the movie, I am not in the least afraid of what may be a death sentence next week. In the last 10 minutes of The 3, it became so obvious to me what my next moves will be. Sharing the amazing good news of Christ with family, friends, and new people. Getting the book Imagine Heaven (by John Burke) into as many hands as possible. Put my finances in order to support my wife, set aside some extra for our special needs grandson, fund my will to support our church and a couple of amazing apologetics ministries. Look for ways to do good things for people. Make the last months or years count -- planning for a long retirement will be out of the question.

Watch the movie -- see the last 10 minutes -- and you'll know what I'm going to do.
