Maybe it's like watching a trilogy. The first movie is exciting and fun and new just like when you first really get being a Christian. The second seems dull because it's needed to move the plot along.

I don't know, maybe the final installment begins with the return of Christ. Anyway, hold your thumbs up because that is where we should be looking. Part three is about to be released at a theater near you.
