United 93







Trista and I just got back from this movie...wow...it was so intense.

There are many different and very strong emotions flying through me right now: anger, pride, sadness.

The movie was very well done. It showed the confusion of the day, but also the incredible story of these few "insignificant" fliers. If you haven't seen it, I insist that you go, but don't go alone. You will need a hand to hold on to at the very least. Some people have said that it is too soon to show this movie. I don't think so. I think we need to be reminded.

I have had many theological discussions over the years since seminary and heard the statement, "but we're all praying to the same God". There was a moment in the movie that showed this very clearly isn't the case. Right at the end, you see the terrorists "praying" to allah and praising him for the victory and at the same time the passengers are saying the Lord's Prayer.

I hope you all go see it.

In Rememberance,
Dave
