Have you watched The Life of Chuck?
I wonder where movies fit into your life? I wonder where they inspire you and bring hope to your world? We watched The Life of Chuck the other day. A film that starts at the end and works backwards. These kind of films keep the mystery alive! The film has three chapters and the first chapter Chuck is hardly in it. It is easy to believe you have walked into an apocalyptic story, but as it goes on and the removal of the onion layers reveal the films core we see something so deep about Chuck’s journey, there is irony in the title of the film and wonder at it’s outcome. As we journey into Lent this year with all the complicated things and changes to society that we are living through, may we know that human beings do find the way through societal changes, may we discover hope and promise of the next phase of our existance. And may the heartbeat of the rhythm of the spirit capture us, and inspire us.
I leave you with a link to a wonderful clip from the film The Life of Chuck . A moment in the film where the mundane accountant connects with a younger version of himself and finds a rhythm that reminds him of who he has been. May lent this year remind us how loved we are and have always been and as we lean back into that love may Hope find us waiting.
Good Shepherd mark Lent through morning and evening services 8.30am, 10am and 6.30pm. You are welcome to come along and wonder with us about the Glory of God.
