The movie is based on a brilliant Stephen King twisted tale. Morgan Freeman shows up near the end to help solve the mystery of SSDD. The first scence catapults the mind into a gasp. A Harvard grad shrink peers into a large patient whose troubled soul is captured by the doctors sketching whilst he is talking. A pencil draws us into a dreamcatcher, then these words: compulsive over indulgement, suicidal guilt, self punishment, slow death by cholesterol/drinking, oak bed, cry wolf, early grave. The patient says "Carls JR has a six dollar burger which only costs $3.95 so you think you are
getting a deal, but the truth is it might be the best franchise burger out there. I went there yesterday and ordered three, by golly those suckers almost filled me up ~ but when I got home I still had to have a box of Eggos, but that does not take away from Carl's achievement. I mean heres a guy thats gotta go thru life as Carl JR right? He can never get out of the shadow of his dad, the original Carl." The shrink interrupts "Jason, do you think that this compulsive eating has something to do with your mom/dad? You are eating yourself to
an early death as punishment. You think you killed him by not responding to his call right? He begged you to dial 911, but he was always crying wolf right? You must stop blaming yourself for his death. If you do not, you will eat yourself into a premature grave." ~ As I watched this opening scene I was compelled to post this mother's revelation about her son and his choices. After listening to Charles Stanley's broadcast "Praying with Impact" at INTOUCH.ORG ~ it is God's will that we contribute our gifts to benefit others. A child can only increase in the knowledge of God by reading His Word. As parents it is emphatically important that we talk to our kids about what the Holy Spirit reveals to us, and that we pray God's will for them daily.
Do not cease to pray for those you love. Trust God's will in all circumstances to cause victory through our FAITH in His sovereign ways. Lord Jesus I pray that You fill Jason with the knowledge of Thy will. Give Jason and David wisdom and spiritual understanding that they may walk worthy of You, that both will be found fully pleasing to God, and fruitful in every good work while they increase in the knowledge of God, I pray that both are strengthened with all might, according to God's glorious power. Give them patience and longsuffering with a JOY that causes them to shout thanks be to God who has chosen them. For God has qualified those who believe to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.
Deliver Jason and David from the power of darkness and convey Your love Lord Jesus with a mighty force. May You interrupt their dreams and thoughts with a perfect picture of Your love, compassion and forgivness. I pray for a complete surrender as a full reconciliation is embraced. May they no longer feel alienated as enemies of God for their weak choices. May they both accept that the blood of Christ is sufficient and that they are holy and blameless in Your sight. AMEN ~ READ THE BOOK

A LABOR OF LOVE Sunday Sept 4, 2011. Charles Stanley on TV - followed by church at Quail with Pastor Marc Maffucci. Marc's message was based on Hebrews 11:1 (KJV)
ReplyDelete"Now FAITH is the SUBSTANCE of things HOPED for, the EVIDENCE of things NOT seen." We hold onto what we have, our FAITH in GOD and that the GREAT IAM that IAM is beyond explanation, and any human's full comprehension. TODAY's HERO's of the FAITH: Martin Luther, John Wesley, William Wilburforce, Dwight Moody, Billy Graham follow in the footsteps of ABEL who offered to God a more excellent sacrifice. NOAH who acted in FAITH to build an arc without seeing the forecasted storm. SARAH who believed and conceived at the age of 90. JOESPH who trusted GOD during his captivity. RAHAB's FAITH saved her from perishing as a prostitute when she received Joshua's spies. BARBARA, a mother whose FAITH in GOD has provided for her every need during lean and lonely times.
