Thanks, Disney

I was conviceted. By a Disney Song.
Crazy, right? It was weird, lemme tell ya... I never would have expected it.
If you've never heard it, I posted it below. So scroll down, listen to it, then come back to read this, aight?
You see, at the time this movie [The Hunchback of Notre Dame] was set, gypsies were pretty much te epitome of "outcasts;" they had a reputation for being thieves, fortune tellers, seducers, and trouble-makers. They wandered from town to town, homeless vagabonds. Nobody liked them. Even the "church" people. They ask for money, fame, glory... when really, none of that mattered. They should have seen the need, and, instead of asking God why He wouldn't help them, actually get out there and be the hands and feet of God.
I heard this story once, about two friends who were talking. The first guy says that he has a question for God. The second guy asks him why he doesn't ask. Guy Number One says he's afraid. When the second guy asks him why he's afraid, the first guy says,"I'm afraid that God will ask ME the same question."
Lord, give us strength to help the outcasts... 'cause really, that's what you were, in a way..

  1. You missed a great message along these lines yesterday. Hopefully your mom and Derek grabbed a sermon CD for you...otherwise, listen to it online!

    Love you!
