This post is so off the wall that I cannot really believe I am actually posting it but let me explain. Last night I watched the movie The X Files: I want To Believe which I had rented through my Netflix account. I completely enjoyed this movie because I have always been a rabid fan of the television show. I never missed an episode or if I did I recorded it and watched it at my earliest opportunity.

I was very distressed when the show ceased production but when the first X Files movie, released in the summer of 1998, “Fight the Future” came out I was one of the first in line at the local theater. Over the years I sort of lost track of the X Files but the best part of the show to me was the chemistry between the two stars David Duchovny (Fox Mulder) and Gillian Anderson (Dana Scully). Here is the point of this off the wall post; I had the biggest crush in the world on Gillian Anderson. The fact is who didn’t among us males? When The X Files: I Want To Believe came out I had intended to go see it in the theater but somehow managed to miss it. When it was recently released on DVD it went to the top of my Netflix Queue and thus my viewing last night.

Guess what? I STILL have a huge crush on Gillian Anderson. This morning I went to Google and looked up everything I could on what has been happening to the X Files saga over the last 10 years in general but in particular what Gillian has been up to. To me she has always been a complete class act. Beautiful, intelligent, independent and by all appearances a free spirit; all of the attributes I personally look for in a woman. I found this video on Gillian Anderson so I decided to include it in my off the wall post as a tribute to this amazing and talented woman.

Here’s to you Gillian! I love you!

As 2008 is drawing to a close I want to publicly proclaim my thanks to God who makes all things possible. He is the reason why we have Christmas, why we have abundance because of his grace and why we have the peace in our hearts for those that believe. If you see this video and have not seen the light of God I would invite you to get to know him. John 3:16.
