To Save A Life

My sunday school teachers took my entire class out to see the movie To Save A Life. It is about a high school athlete named Jake who is popular, goes to all of the parties, is the beer pong champ, has high plans for college basketball. However, an old friend of his who he abandoned years ago comes to school one day with a gun to take his own life just feet in front of him. Jake remembers how the old friend had once saved his life by pushing him out of the way of a car, and permanently damaging his own leg in the process. Emence guilt and a local youth paster who reaches out to him bring him to reexamine everything he ever thought about his life.

It was an incredible and moving film, and I'd recomend it to anyone. It examines faith, and could make anyone wonder what they could do with there life to better others. After all of the hardships he must face, Jake always tries to help people.

I love my church. I feel proud to be a part of something so big. Lately Jrod has been doing some interesting things, and making us ask questions we hadn't thought of before, and realize that reaching out with our faith and serving can make a huge difference. It is an incredible thing.
