‘Risen,’ New Movie About Jesus’ Resurrection
“Risen” takes an imaginative approach to the New Testament accounts of the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth, who the Bible describes as being resurrected from the dead three days later. The new film is told from the perspective of a fictional top Roman military official who oversees Jesus’ death on a cross.
The unbelieving tribune, named Clavius, is commanded by Pontius Pilate “to find the body, dispel rumors of a risen Messiah and prevent an uprising in Jerusalem,” according to a press release. Clavius is assisted in his mission by Lucius, another “abiblical” character. Lucius is portrayed by Tom Felton, popular for his role as the pernicious Draco Malfoy in the “Harry Potter” film series.
The press release itself presents “Risen” as a sort of continuation to “Passion of the Christ,” although promoters do not directly refer to the film by its name: “Twelve years after the blockbuster film about Jesus’ crucifixion and many others like it, RISEN picks up where that film dropped off in the biblical story of Jesus’ death, resurrection and ascension.”

$16 Running Shoe Review
The first part of the video is about shoe selection, so I have the video below cued to start at the actual testing or review part.
One reason I’m making this post is that I’ve always wanted a pair of those really classic pair of gray New Balance shoes, like the 990V (the 990s have quite the history and cult following if you do a little research), but I didn’t want to pay $155 for them. I was recently at Dick’s Sporting Goods and they had them for sale for five buck cheaper, which wasn’t enough for me to bite.
Later that day, WifeGeeding wanted to shop at Target and I told her I wanted to look around Gander Mountain which was a few stores down. To my surprise, they had the shoes heavily discounted for $85, so I pulled the trigger. Their website doesn’t show the sale or discount, but if you are in the Lewisville area, give them a call and see if they still have them on sale.
