Movie Review V

Enjoyed this movie! Had a God moment. The coach's conflict between his dream job and his dad job was the plot. The newspaper article about his struggle to keep both teams on a winning streak was pivotal. Finally, his resolve, "If I don't get this right then nothing else matters." 'This' meaning his dad job.

It made me think of my first ministry to my hubby. If I don't get this right then nothing else matters. I may be amazing in the Childrens' Ministry, but if I'm mediocre at home then what is the point? O.C. (Oswald Chambers) rocked that same boat this morning during my quiet time..."The measure of the worth of our public activity for God is the private profound communion we have with Him".

So really, my pre-ministry is the private moments with Him. Excellence in intimacy with Him leads to an excellent wife, which leads to an excellent childrens' minister. "I have to get 'this' right or 'that' doesn't matter. And I have to get 'that' right or ministering doesn't matter."

The hubby just commented that he tried all day to put in a load of laundry for me. "You have a lot of catching up to do," he said. "Now, you are the one that let me go to New York," as I saunter from the room. And on my way to bed I do two loads of laundry, wash dishes, setup the coffee, put the phone on the charger, turn the heating down, put away my shopping treasures, turn out lights, let the cat in, take out my contacts, shower, turn down the blinds, and thought about thanking him for my trip. But, he was out like a light. He actually went straight to bed.
