What Motivates Your Life to Do Good?
“Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I
will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I looked up my hands. I
will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my
mouth will praise you.” Psalm 63:3
Yesterday,
I wrote about the amazing gesture of adoration the woman in John 12 gave to
Jesus by pouring a bottle of pure nard, an entire years wages worth, onto His
feet. The follow-up question that must be broached is what would bring about
such an extravagant gesture? What drove her to such an act?
Get Low – a disturbing, wonderful movie about angst and forgiveness
Robi and I went to a movie a few nights ago entitled “Get Low.”
It’s a bit of an Indie film starring Robert Duval.
The story revolves around the character Duval plays who
happens to be a recluse. What he wants is a funeral, but not your normal
funeral. He want to have one before
he dies. Something that many of us might want…to be spotlighted before we
stop breathing. The problem,
however, is he can’t find anybody to talk at the funeral–at least positively. He has been a crotchety old geezer for
too long…or so it seems.
