Chocolat

Wonderful movie bout how a sweet (pun intended) mother and child arrive at a town so steeped in stiff tradition. A seemingly tranquil vicinity plagued discreetly by much violence, hatred, frustration, and grief. ....and what better way to set it free than the exquisite simple delight of "oh-so-sinful" chocolate. What was viewed as sin eventually became their Saviour, and she that was viewed as Satan proved in the end to be perhaps sent from Heaven.

At first was worried about the possible wrong message it seemed to be sending about Christians,...but later all is redeemed by a great revealing ending. Especially how both the town and its visitors (woman&child) are freed from their respective bondages of tradition; and the final reminder of Christ's humanity.
Love the final line of Pere's ending 'homility'/sermon:

"We don't measure goodness by what we don't do, what we deny ourselves, what we resist, who we exclude; but by what we embrace, what we create, and who we include."

Chocolat- another one to add to the list of movies the church needs to watch (in my opinion) alongside Saved, Kingdom of Heaven, and,...recently the play Runaway Bride by Footstool players.

Love, death, and foosball

For whoever still reads this blog,...
Been pretty inactive lately....too lazy to blog about stuff. More wanting to live out what i think/learn than pen it down. I think laziness is more like it. Anyhow, if there were to be recent posts, it would probably be centering issues of Love, Death, and foosball.
