I was watching The Natural... as I watched it I wondered what made it such a good movie.
It's about a guy that has all the talent in the world, with potential to be the greatest, but he makes bad choices, throws away opportunities and has to decide what to do. In the end after he has sold out, he changes his mind and redeems himself.
That's when it hit me...what makes him, Robert the Bruce(Braveheart), Major Duncan Heyward(Last of the Mohicans), and many others in the movies that we love, all great characters...is redemption. They all change the track that they were headed down and become exactly who we all knew they could and should be. The fact that they seek redemption allows us to give it, and we always do.
These movies are our lives... or at least mine. We head down tracks and routes that we know we shouldn't. We make decisions that are wrong. We cause pain to ourselves and others. We disappoint our loved ones, friends, and our Lord, but as long as we seek the redemption and change...we will find it.
Not sure why this was on my mind and definitely not sure why I felt the need to write it.

You bless me, my son.
You wrote it because we need to know what's going on inside of you,
in your heart and your mind.
So we can hear and see what God's doing inside of you.
So we can know what prayers have been answered.
If we don't know, and we can't rejoice with the angels in heaven.
