Sarah's Key: Watch this Sweet, Sad and Inspiring Film



I just finished watching Sarah's Key, a film I put on my Netflix queue quite some time ago. I finally took the time to watch it. It is about a Jewish girl from Paris who in 1942 was whisked away with her family but not with her little brother that she adored.  She placed him inside a hidden closet and locked the door behind him, telling him to stay quiet as they practiced and that she would be back for him. 

The story is sweet, sad and inspiring.  A journalist picks up the trail decades later to unravel what happened to Sarah's parents, to Sarah and her little brother.  To find out, she interviews people in Paris, Italy and Brooklyn.  She researches and finds dead ends and new trails that lead her to where the answers are.

The Holocaust is an awful event that must be remembered.  Sarah's Key is one way of doing that.  I would wholeheartedly encourage you to watch it.

Update: Latest school shooting in Colorado   'His intent was evil': Colorado high school gunman intended to shoot numerous people, sheriff says By Daniella Silva, NBC News He shot Claire Esther Davis , 17, who just happened to be sitting nearby with a friend as he headed toward the library. The girl suffered severe head trauma and remains in critical condition at Littleton Adventist Hospital.   "Our beautiful daughter Claire Davis has severe head trauma as a result of a gunshot. She needs your continued prayers," the family statement read.  Note:  The lone gunman killed himself after shooting Claire though clearly armed to do much more.  Thanks to the actions of an officer, the results were far less than the carnage he apparently wished to unleash.  Please join me in praying for Claire and all those impacted by this act of violence. image location Join me in praying for the families of Newtown who will experience their second Christmas  season w

Rob Bell's Love Wins: Chapter Four: Does God Get What He Wants?

Before I start, I want to make clear something from an earlier blogpost. I wrote of future events from a premillennial, dispensational perspective. By no means am I implying that is the only orthodox position. I will leave it to others who comment to give other orthodox perspectives, if they wish. My issue with Bell is not orthodoxy but what I view as error and obviously many godly, conservative Christian scholars agree with that assessment. Our differences over orthodox doctrine are within the family. We believe that Bell’s is outside of orthodoxy. The title of chapter four reveals the depth of Rob Bell’s misunderstanding. God would love for everyone to come to a knowledge of the truth and be saved by faith in Jesus. However, even as Bell acknowledges, a loving God will not force anyone. Therefore, He provided the natural revelation of who He is and special revelation through the transmission of the Bible, visions, dreams, miracles and ultimately and most spectacularly t
