Happy New Year!
 
Since we did not have church on Sunday evening, Liz and I did something we have not done in I can’t remember when. We went to a movie on a Sunday. We don’t attend often and certainly not on Sunday evening. But with the holiday and change of schedule we sat in the stadium seats for a mid-afternoon flick along with several others from Olive. Seems this was a popular idea.
 
As a young high school student I remember the tragic plane crash of the Marshall University football team. However, I knew nothing of the real story and the comeback involved. We Are Marshall is the movie account of this true story. Tears ran down my face as I watched the film. Along with others, I laughed out loud at some of the things involved in the story. It was an enjoyable two hours.
 
We all have to deal with failure and tragedy. What do we need to respond properly? Here are a few things I saw in the Marshall story:
 
1. Persistence
 
2. Love
 
3. Forgiveness
 
4. Acceptance
 
5. Prayer
 
6. Leaders are needed to help others
 
I recommend this movie to you. But not on Sunday night!
