The Bucket List

Posted under movies by FPeatross

For the last four to five years my wife and I have been growing together with a core group of believer. Two to three times a week this group eats and plays together. The by-product of this ‘meaningful’ fellowship is we all know each other…well. If visitation is necessary, it’s a heart response not an obligation based on a Christian commitment. Concern is real…and felt. Why? Because this group has grown intimately. We know each other’s problems, successes, desires, and hopes.

Last night the group went to see the movie Bucket List. Being 59, the theme of this movie touched me (and most all in the group, since all are close in age.) Yet this movie is for everyone. Great acting, funny while remaining real, and a large dose of wisdom.

Morgan Freeman to Jack Nicholson: “Have you found joy in your life?’ ‘Has your life brought joy to others?’”

The movie turns on those two statements.
