A Different Kind of Annie

HBO kept them apart when it passed on a series based on Jonathan Franzen’s The Corrections, but Maggie Gyllenhaal will work with Ewan McGregor, damn it. 

The actress is going to share the stage with my favorite Scot in an upcoming new Broadway production of Tom Stoppard’s The Real Thing.

McGregor will play Henry, the unhappy-in-love playwright whose real-life romantic woes mirror the ones in his play about a marriage on the brink of collapse. That the production within the production stars his wife only adds more complication to matters, which already include his affair with Annie (Gyllenhaal).

This will mark the actress’ Great White Way debut, although she is no stranger to the New York boards, having hit them a few years ago for an Off-Broadway staging of Chekov’s Three Sisters. She was going to lead The Village Bike this spring…but not anymore.

The Real Thing is scheduled to open in the fall.

IDENTIFYING GOD"S RELIGION?

Are numbers of the membership of a Christian denomination or of a non-Christian religion a valid indicator of identifying God's true religion? No, they are not.

NUMBERS

1. Islam 1.3 billion.
2. Catholics 1.2 billion.
3. Hinduism 828 million.
4. Those who identify themselves as Christian, other than Catholic, 1 billion.
5. Baptist 110 million.
6. Buddhism 364 million.

Identifying the Lord's church is not predicated on the number of members of a group or church.

There are 7 billion people in the world.

Matthew 7:13-14 "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 "Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to to life, and there are few who find it.

TERMS OF PARDON TO ENTER THE NARROW GATE.

1. Faith: John 3:16, John 8:24
2. Repentance: Acts 3:19
3. Confession: Romans 10:9,10
4 Water Immersion: Acts 2:38, Mark 16:16, 1 Peter 3:21
