Roth Movie Night


Happy Monday Everyone!

We had a wonderful time at the movies Saturday afternoon. We saw the Dr.Seuss movie "Horton Hears a Who", and we just loved it! I think Bill & I were laughing more than the kids. I wont give you any details in case you haven't seen it, but the message itself was a great lesson for the kids. At one point the Mayor of Who-ville became aware that all of the whos actually were living on a tiny speck & that a large elephant was holding them in his hand (or elephant hoof?) Of course everyone thought he was crazy. At the same time Horton the elephant was trying to convince everyone in the jungle that there were people actually living on this tiny speck. Their response was..."if I can't see it, hear it, or feel it...it does not exist!" Kind of like how some respond to a Christian's faith in God...it is foolishness to some, silly to many. To me it seems even more silly when finite, fallable humans claim to discount God & the Savior Jesus Christ simply because they have never seen Him or cannot comprehend the amazing gift of salvation. Do we honestly think we could possibly understand every mystery on earth and in heaven??...that is silly!

So go see the movie...you'll have a good laugh...and maybe even ponder some of life's great mysteries!
