Amazing Grace

James and I finally went to see this movie today...and I'm so glad we did. It was a beautiful story of faith and passion and how both can work together for good and have incredible results. What an inspiring and uplifting story! Do go see it if you can.

This was my dad's favorite hymn, very illustrative of his quiet, strong, abiding faith, and so it holds a special place in my heart. He would have loved this movie, and I wish he'd been here to see it with us.

Key Quotes:
"Mr. Wilberforce, we understand that you are having problems choosing whether to do the work of God or the work of a political activist. We humbly suggest that you can do both."

"Although my memory's fading, I remember two things very clearly. I am a great sinner, and Christ is a great Savior."

"Through many dangers toils and snares
I have already come!
His grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home!"
--John Newton

Happy Easter!
