I just finished watched Beverly Lewis' "The Shunning", and I am REALLY thankful it had the ending it did! I sure got mad at the story they told! I think part of the reason is I had SUCH a lovely mother, who SO valued FREEDOM and letting people think FOR THEMSELVES! Then I go to watch "The Shunning", and I don't even know how I made it through! It just made me so furious! Those Amish! Their utter disregard for personal freedom!
And let me say, here and now, that that same mother has been SO GOOD to me - through thick and thin! And she has NOT disregarded, in any way, the honest questions I have asked and explored. Freedom does come with a price tag - but there is simply no other legitimate way to go! We have GOT to think for ourselves!
The movie ends with this song. I am listening to it right now, and drinking it in. Another thing about that movie? The Shunning? The guy? His name is "Daniel!"
And I got a certain message on Facebook today! And I am believing it was a Psalm 86, last verse, "token for good."
"...I am free..."
Love,
Daniel
P.S. Wow! Here is another really good one by Lindsay McCaul!
Wow! Looks like I'm about to share ONE MORE SONG (at least)!
