2025-11-30 I'm Dreaming of…Something More by The Rev Anders Edstrom This message is from Greenfield Presbyterian Church in Berkley, MI. Today is the first Sunday of Advent. The sermon series for Advent is “I'm Dreaming of…”. The Scripture is Isaiah 40:1-11 Comfort for God's people 40 Comfort, comfort my people! says your God. 2 Speak compassionately to Jerusalem, and proclaim to her that her compulsory service has ended, that her penalty has been paid, that she has received from the Lord's hand double for all her sins! 3 A voice is crying out: “Clear the Lord's way in the desert! Make a level highway in the wilderness for our God! 4 Every valley will be raised up, and every mountain and hill will be flattened. Uneven ground will become level, and rough terrain a valley plain. 5 The Lord's glory will appear, and all humanity will see it together; the Lord's mouth has commanded it.” 6 A voice was saying: “Call out!” And another said, “What should I call out?” All flesh is grass; all its loyalty is like the flowers of the field. 7 The grass dries up and the flower withers when the Lord's breath blows on it. Surely the people are grass. 8 The grass dries up; the flower withers, but our God's word will exist forever. 9 Go up on a high mountain, messenger Zion! Raise your voice and shout, messenger Jerusalem! Raise it; don't be afraid; say to the cities of Judah, “Here is your God!” 10 Here is the Lord God, coming with strength, with a triumphant arm, bringing his reward with him and his payment before him. 11 Like a shepherd, God will tend the flock; he will gather lambs in his arms and lift them onto his lap. He will gently guide the nursing ewes.

Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a skilled thief who specializes in stealing secrets from deep within someone else's subconscious during dreams. However, when he is offered a chance to have his criminal record erased, Cobb must accomplish the impossible: planting an idea in someone's mind — through a process known as “inception.” To succeed, he assembles a team and ventures into a multi-layered dream world, where time stretches and reality blurs. As the mission unfolds, Cobb faces not only the risks of the job but the haunting memories of his past that threaten to sabotage everything.Chapters:00:00 Introduction and Welcome Back Walt04:32 Relationship(s) with Inception13:25 Dana's Issues with Inception19:58 What is Inception About?23:13 Background for Inception30:25 Is Inception Just a Good Action Thriller or Something More?31:29 Plot Summary for Inception32:30 Did You Know?37:06 First Break37:53 What's Happening with Walt39:16 Best Performance(s)50:25 Best Scene(s)01:03:58 Second Break01:04:39 In Memoriam01:09:17 Best/Funniest Lines01:12:52 The Stanley Rubric - Legacy01:19:25 The Stanley Rubric - Impact/Significance01:23:54 The Stanley Rubric - Novelty01:29:56 The Stanley Rubric - Classicness01:36:48 The Stanley Rubric - Rewatchability01:39:36 The Stanley Rubric - Audience Score and Final Total01:43:12 Remaining Questions for Inception01:48:49 Thank You to Walt and Remaining Thoughts01:56:41 CreditsGuest:Walter Gainer IIFounder of Boss Locks Media and Host of The Working While Black Show@bosslocks on IG, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn@itsthegreatwalt on IG, @rampagewalter on LinkedInPreviously On: Training Day (2001),

Tanner Wanish and Michael Vaill are two of the best speed climbers in Yosemite today. They currently hold the record for the historic Yosemite Triple Crown with a time of 17 hours and 55 minutes, and they're also the only climbers to also add in a fourth big wall on top of that feat—a linkup they dubbed the Quad.  We spoke to Tanner and Michael about their partnership, the allure of linkups, the dangers of speed climbing and competition, and the real joy beyond what you see on social media of clocking big walls for breakfast.
