actually enjoying being told what's about to happen in a movie
Many people know that I have a job working at a juvenile detention center. I don't enjoy it as much as my position at church, but I do really like working there (for several reasons that I am not going to list here). Anyway, I brought in a movie on Saturday night that I watched with the youth. It is called Joseph: King of dreams. It's a really well-done movie (with a little too much singing for my taste). It tells the story of Joseph from the later chapters in the book of Genesis in the Bible. There was a couple of high school age kids (16 and 17) who kept excitedly saying what was about to happen. The awesome thing was that they had never seen the movie! They had just retained what they had read in from their Bibles in their cell! I had details about the story reinforced from what they were saying, and probably learned some things too. For these two guys and for myself, it was evident to see that sometimes when you are not expecting it, God has you where he wants to so that He can better speak to you and show you His truths. God is so big and powerful! It is so awesome that He speaks to people through His word and other ways as well!
