It's a Little Bit Funny, This Feeling Inside.

Whenever my older sister (the one before me) recommends a movie, it's always great. Yesterday, my wife wanted something to watch and she's a musical freak. My sister recommended Moulin Rouge, which as it turns out, my wife had been wanted to see forever.

The theme of the movie is that love conquers all, even death. In this case, an untimely death. This movie almost brought me to wet eyes (the precursor to tears). The movie ended, and I found myself wondering what my life would be like had I, say, three months to live. I've been blessed to have done 99% of everything I felt I needed to do before dying. For that one percent, I would need more time than three months. So, I decided I would try anyway, knowing that I would never see the fruits of my labor. For all I know, I could keel over in three month.

That is what faith is about, "being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see" (Heb. 11:1, NIV).
