Gwen & I watched the Haunting in Connecticut last night, and if any of you know me fairly well, you know exactly how I am during a “horror” flick. Don’t know how I survived, but I managed to sit through the entire movie without embarrassing myself (too much). Anyway, I don’t want to ruin the plot-line for any moviegoer who might be interested in watching this – and I do encourage that you do – but I did want to share some lines that really struck me. Its funny because when you grow up your whole life with certain phrases, their significance doesn’t really strike you, until they’re repeated in a different context, via a completely different perspective. Thus was the case last night when I heard:
Even though I walk
through the Valley of the Shadow of Death,
I will fear no evil,
for You are with me.
Psalm 23:4
This simple verse, which I might as well have tattooed on the side of my leg, has been repeated to me via my parents close to ten thousand times, but its true meaning didn’t really hit me till last night. How dope of a scary movie to make me reiterate my faith. Oh, and Gwen & I decided we would rather label Haunting in Connecticut a Dramatic Tragedy; not your typical gory-scary-movie.
“They say God works in mysterious ways,
But they don’t say just how mysterious…
Consider this your warning”
Closing line of Haunting in Connecticut.
