Good Morning, God,
In budget bills and movies, from the Pledge of Allegiance to the Ten Commandments on "public" property, the headlines include issues about god, Jesus Christ, the bible and faith. Of late, part of the budget debate has been about funding for abortion and the National Endowment for the Arts - too liberal for some; not liberal enough for others. Often, the debate is about the question "Who do we trust?" and the printing, stamping and saying, "In God We Trust" on our paper money, coins and in our pledge.
Of late, Lord, there has been a discussion about how much "God" should be in a movie. Even in movies depicting real-life issues with the role of faith playing a significant part, producers are afraid of even using the words "scripture" or "Bible"; much less quoting verses from it. Certainly, the word "Jesus" would be a problem to Hollywood, unless taken in vain! Such has been the struggle to produce the movie about Bethany Hamilton, the 14-year old who lost an arm to a shark, but was back in the water 21 days later. She lived "I can do all things through the Lord who strengthens me.
Thus the movie was produced.
Thus the mantra we, too, should live.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
