Amazing Grace
December 2nd, 2007 | by gene |A couple quotes from the early part of this amazing film:
“You found God, sir?”
“I think He found me. Do you have any idea how inconvenient that is?”
“It is a sad fate to be well known to everybody else and still unknown to himself.” Sir Francis Bacon
gene suggests a visit to Ansir.com to remedy this most unfortunate circumstance. And a viewing of this most extraordinary movie for a shining example of what one person with great personal commitment may accomplish. It is an inspiration I needed this weekend. I had no idea why jenna brought me to this particular movie at this particular time, but she is never wrong, and if I have understood her message correctly, there will be more to say on this topic in relatively short order.
Slavery is an odious practice which still befouls the air and blights this beautiful blue planet of life. And it is time, past time, that it stop. Permanently and forever. This movie moves us along that path. It has been a reflective weekend and it is fitting that it end with this marvelous testament to the power of truth and love when mixed together with passion and commitment. much love, :^) gene
“Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me….
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
T’was Grace that taught…
my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear…
the hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares…
we have already come.
T’was Grace that brought us safe thus far…
and Grace will lead us home.
The Lord has promised good to me…
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be…
as long as life endures.
When we’ve been here ten thousand years…
bright shining as the sun.
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise…
then when we’ve first begun.
“Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me….
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
If today brings even one choice your way
choose to be a bringer of the light :^) gene
