Fill in the Blank

Over on Michael Hyatt’s blog he had a line that grabbed my attention:

To quote Eric Liddell, from the movie Chariots of Fire expresses this beautifully: “I believe that God made me for a purpose, but He also made me fast. When I run, I feel His pleasure.”

I realize he was quoting Liddell from the movie, but being reminded of the quote stirred something in me.

So let’s have a conversation today. Fill in the blank:

“I believe God made me for a purpose, but He also made me __________. When I ______________, I feel His pleasure.” Feel free to expound on your answers. This is not about tooting your own horn, so don’t feel self-conscience. This is about acknowledging and honoring a God-given ability.

Movie Review: Vantage Point

Vantage Point

Corrie and I went on a psuedo-date last night. It was interrupted once, but that’s a different story. We used a gift card for dinner at Red Lobster, and then went to see Vantage Point.

I was really looking forward to this movie from the previews, and it was a good movie. It is a little different than the previews let on, but it’s still entertaining. I think the thing I like about it the most is that it was unique. The story line causes it to have to be shot a little differently. It’s not linear, so that was cool. It was weird seeing Jack from LOST in a different role…don’t know how I felt about that. I don’t think you’ll buy the DVD, but it’s worth seeing at the theatre or renting. Rating: B
