Daily Devotional – 12 January 2023
One of the best ways I've found to deal with boredom is to try and find a good movie to view at the cinema or at home, on the Telly or by streaming.
The secret in the escape is, I believe,that a good movie tells a good story to which we viewers can relate.
Which brings me to my my point for today: our stories count! Yours and mine, plus everybody else's, most especially if great worth are those stories that motivate us to live better lives.
"To Kill a Mockingbord" is a prime example of what I'm talking about. Even persons who continue to be radical racists can identiy with the plot. Why? It's a story about them, that is, about us --about our struggles to live with the horrific and lasting abuses of slavery.
And we are still trying to give our story a solid, creative ending
Are we going to return to the tolertion of racism? Or, are we going to do everything we can to rid our history of it?
That's where we are in our colllective story. Are you with Atticus or not?
I am. I want us all to have a better life.
