Joy far outweighs the hurt.

On my worst days I am a ragged bed head continually hitting snooze while convincing myself it’s okay to skip the gym today. I’m a bowl of lucky charms for breakfast and a burrito bowl for lunch. I am a head thrown back and an anguished sigh of frustration when I can’t calm the cries of the baby I nanny. On my worst days I left Netflix be the entertainer while I am a detached and numbed nanny. I am an afternoon ice cream cone because it’s been a hard day. On my worst days I’m a dirty body climbing into bed and scrolling mindlessly through social media instead of spending time with Jesus.

Most weeks the worst me is present more than the best me. But the thing I forget so easily is that Jesus loves me the best on the worst days and loves me the best on the best days. His love doesn’t depend on my mood - thank the good Lord for that - and it doesn’t depend on my attitude. His grace and mercy is there each new day - even if it’s not my best day. And every day I’m thankful for that

Well, you’re talking to a person who LOVES it.

You can find my posts on connecting God to Star Wars Episodes 1-6 here

I also did a series on Harry Potter Here, in a response to some one who had a question about that book/movie series. 

I also have a post which I pull references from The Santa Clause and another where I talk about some biblical points in the Avengers (which you can find here and here respectively).

Now that I’ve done my shameless plugging, let me explain. I think the story of God and His love for us is too big to be contained. I think the human race, since we are made in His image, are constantly pulling from His creation. Look at Superman. A supreme being sends His god-like son to a planet of powerless beings. He becomes their redeemer and sacrifices himself for them. That story ring any bells (cough, cough: Jesus). There are countless stories in books, TV, and cinema that echo stories from the Bible or can be used as allegories for faith, and in a media based culture, these can be used to instruct people.
