Stories are important. Everyone has one. As do movies, TV shows, books, songs… Each tells a story with words, lyrics, and scripts. After a phone conversation today, all about movies and Hollywood, I was inspired to write about life like a movie. When I think of movies and how they are written and created, produced and acted, I contemplate how they are not that far from real life. There is conflict, pain, suffering, heartache, and sickness. People go on missions, quests, and journeys. Men and women bravely deal with their families, the governments and authorities around them. People seek affection, love, justice, freedom, resolution, and a hero to believe in… Movie life draws you into the story if it’s created right. And the story is what you connect with, as you escape from your own. And though there is not always a happy ending (though Hollywood tries to make it so), there will be one day when He comes for us again. (Not unlike a movie.)
