Rejection - heavy sigh

Our Daily Bread
Do you remember Mork and Mindy?  Robin Williams created one of the most memorable TV characters of our time with his clever delivery of catchy lines.  One of my favorites is "rejection - heavy sigh".  He described the human condition and reaction with such simple words and actions.

Jesus not only described the human condition and reaction during his life on earth, he lived it!  Accepted initially by only a few, most believed in him because of what he could do.  They went along with the excitement of the crowd.  Does this sound familiar today?

The other point the devotional makes hit me hard, especially after Valentines Day -- rejection can hit us hard.  It can prevent us from accomplishing God's will for our lives.  While others may reject us, God is always there for us.  Always!  Amen!

Lord, thank you for your everlasting love.  Your children know that we will never experience "rejection - heavy sigh" when it comes to you!

Movie Monday
I went to see the movie Snitch this week.  It is the new Dwayne The Rock Johnson movie.  The plot was about a teenager that got involved with some drug trafficking and was sentenced under the mandatory sentencing laws.  Dwayne Johnson played the father who tried to assist the DEA with capturing real drug dealers and kingpins.  While the idea was nice, the movie was not very convincing.  The first time Johnson tries to get involved with drugs, he gets is butt kicked (and heals miraculously).  The next thing you know he is helping take down a kingpin.  Unrealistic at best.  Oh, and Johnson tried to act again.  Never a good idea for him.

I give this movie one bear paw.  See it if you must after it is available to rent.
