TRUTH IS GRADUALLY BREAKING THROUGH…..

“It says here,” she told her husband scornfully, “that a man thinks of himself as the king of his household, and of his wife as the queen. Isn’t that ridiculous?” Her husband blinked. “No. It’s true.”

Amy was nonplussed and sputtering. “But but all these years I always thought we were partners, equals, co-chairs, even-steven!”

“We are equal,” said the king, “but we are not the same.”

THE END OF AN ERA…...?

Christianity Today reviews “Pooh’s Heffalump Movie”

“Pooh’s Heffalump Movie isn’t a brilliant animated feature, but it’s a good one….takes traditional animation and reunites it with family-friendly plotlines for what may be one of hand-drawn animation’s last theatrical releases. Heffalump is a safe, family-friendly movie that uses animation to disguise some pretty powerful life lessons. Among others, Heffalump’s themes include how we treat those different from ourselves, growing up too fast, enjoying childhood, and learning Roosevelt’s age-old maxim, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”

“For childhood’s sake, take your little guys and gals to see this movie—you won’t be disappointed.”

Relevant Magazine’s review of Million Dollar Baby

Reviewer Kevin Miller is “thankful that Eastwood used this film to give the question of assisted suicide the moral gravity and attention it deserves.”

I think some of the responders have a better grasp of Christian reality than the reviewer. No, I haven’t seen the film, but if the Bible tells us anything, it’s that some things are always wrong – taking an innocent life is surely one of them. I’m sure that at times, I won’t like that message, either…..but principles don’t exist for the times where we all know the right and want to do it!
