someone sparked my imagination today on the word "entertainment." so much of our lives are drawn into this arena, and i think at times, yes, it is a form of distraction. a way of escape. but when i think about what is so alluring to us about books and movies and theater and events, etc, i am reminded of our need for the bigger picture. written on our hearts is the grandest story of which we are all a part. all of life, yes, especially in the story telling industry, there are minor stories that paint for us pieces of the puzzle that build to one large-scale mural, telling who we are, and from where we've come. i think it explains a lot why we are moved to tears so often, or become gripped by a thrilling tale, or drawn to a fantasy. we are made for so much more than the mundane order of life. and that cannot be down-played as mere entertainment. to me, often-times, it can and should be labeled as awakenings.
be careful and cautious, yes. but let your heart be moved to a greater understanding of the spirit of man, and the Spirit that woos our hearts to be a part of His great story. we all have a part to play.
Dear Sadie.
