Flight 93 the Movie. I do not have a problem with this movie being on the big screen but with saying this I haven't actually seen the movie. My reasoning is this: there has been other movies (documentary or drama, doesn't matter the premise is still the same) that protray tragic events and secondly, sometimes movies like this need to be made as to remind people.
But what do I know? This event in history is not something I experienced personally so I really don't have the right to say much. :P
Right now I've got a certain song stuck in my head for some unknown reason and here it is:
"The sun cannot compare to the glory of your love;
there is no shadow in your presense;
No mortal man would dare to stand before your throne,
before the Holy One of heaven;
It's only by your blood,
and only through your mercy,
Lord I come.
I bring an offering of worship to my King,
No one on earth deserves the praises that I sing;
Jesus may you receive the honor that you're due;
Oh Lord I bring an offering to you."
It took me a while to figure out exactly what song kept playing like a broken record in my head...but with my stealthful internet skills I hunted the lyrics down. This song is actually for the Christmas season - the song title is - Christmas Offering (Paul Baloche) . But I have to disagree. I think it also reflects well with Easter as well.
Worship songs, beautiful voices and instruments always bring me back to a place of peace and a deep sense of love. Like last night while I was reading Through Painted Deserts (Donald Miller) - at one point I stopped reading and just let the music soak in and I began to pray. It amazes me how powerful music can be to a persons being/soul...."Lord I come to you, let my heart be changed, renewed, flowing from the grace I've found in you."
So quickly we lose remembrance for a life change. Hearing of a man so young having a heart transplant and how close he really could be to death - that made us pause and reflect upon how short life really is.
Yet within weeks we forget of our moment of reflection. No longer passionate for living a better life or taking more risks.
Today there is news that his heart is showing signs of rejection.
Pause.
