New thoughts

Our evening plans were changed unexpectedly today so my sweet man suggested we go see Star Trek at the cheap theater. Now not being a "trekkie" by any stretch of the imagination, I simply went along for the show. Surprisingly, I found myself enjoying the movie much more than I ever imagined that I would despite the intense action. Action movies are usually not my cup of tea because I become so engrossed in the movie that I am tense for hours afterwards. There was a scene in the movie that really was insightful. At one point the older Spock shows up to give a young Jim Kirk insight into the years to come and then in a later scene Kirk is reassuring a young Spock that he can't fail in the mission he is embarking upon. And then I wondered what I would step out and do if I knew that everything would turn just fine in the end. Of course, as a Jesus follower I know that it will ultimately but too often I live in fear afraid of failing. Isn't it amazing what God can teach us through a exciting movie on Labor Day?
