Mad Love (1995--Chris O'Donnell, Drew Barrymore)

So, once upon a time Sassy Jesus Girl felt personally convicted to not watch anything on television that portrayed 'sinful' behavior. You can imagine I wasn't watching much television. I did learn a lot during that period and know God used the time to mature and teach me. I also came to view television differently. I no longer see it as a medium that should teach me deep or insightful life lesson. It's about entertainment, great writing, talented actors, and crazy plots. That being said, my favorite television shows fit the bill perfectly! Yeah, I know. There's some suspect stuff in most of these shows. But, never fear, the Spirit always lets me know when it's time to change the channel or hit fast forward (you know I love my DVR).

The Hidden (Kyle MacLachlan--1987)

I must say, The Hidden, is one of the grossest movies I've ever seen. Yet, I was strangely compelled to not only watch it once, but three times. Ugh! The site of that alien moving from body to body--not cute.

That aside..

Raise your hand if you've ever lost something that you put away (so you wouldn't lose it). My hand is raised. Why? Because, I just did this in the last two weeks. My husband and I were watching Fool's Gold, staring the lovely Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson. It's a thoughtless, light hearted romantic comedy--which is usually my type of movie. But, Sassy just wasn't feeling this one. I was bored to death. So, I took the movie out and placed it on my desk. Where it went from there, I don't know.

I remember looking at that DVD for a few days thinking I'd better move it to a higher spot before my one year olds roaming hands found it. So, that's what I did. Well, it's a week later and I have no idea where I put that DVD. But, I KNOW I put it somewhere to avoid losing it later. Good thing I did that, huh? Of course, if I'd left it on the desk, I'd know exactly where it is. However, I had to go and put it in a "safe" (read: lost) place. Brilliant!!

It makes me thankful that I have Jesus. I mean, I can't even keep up with a DVD that "I" put in a "safe place." However, the Lord is omniscient--knows all (including where my DVD is). So, I think my life is in better hands with Him leading the way.
