IMPACT - AFTER THE CRASH ðŸ”—🔗

A great documentary about the May 1988 Carrollton KY school bus crash, that claimed 27 lives, and left some severely injured. The movie superbly captures emotions of the survivors, and those of the relatives of those who died. The last 20 minutes are as emotional as any movie I've seen, but very uplifting. 
Patty Nunnallee a 10 year old girl who died in the crash, her legacy , her poignant words in a speech she delivered five days before her death. “In life there are many choices to be made, sometimes we lack the knowledge to make the right choices and must learn from our mistakes and the mistakes of others. You must be careful to make the right choices because you may only have one chance.”  it's on both YouTube & Prime

Steve Martin ( Neal) & John Candy ( Del)   November 6, 2023 DAILY MEDITATION: LUKE 14:12-14 wau.org When you hold a banquet, invite the poor . ( Luke 14:13) For Jesus, the dinner table is a sacred place. He often chose to make a personal connection with people by coming to eat at their homes. Because Jesus is present in the sacred meal of the Eucharist, heaven touches earth at every Mass. This holy encounter will continue into eternity in the “wedding feast of the Lamb” (Revelation 19:9). But even ordinary mealtimes can provide opportunities to meet with God. From Abraham to Rahab to the first disciples, God’s people encountered their Lord by showing hospitality (Genesis 18; Joshua 2; Acts 2:44). Even more, they reflected the generous hospitality of God himself. Banquet with St. Kilian 1972 classmates in 2017. So when Jesus talks about holding a banquet and inviting the poor, he’s inviting us to be hospitable like his Father (Luke 14:13). He’s asking us to rework our gu

This is not a fictional tale, nor a little bit of reality and then embellished for a TV movie, no it's about two men , actually three men, of different economic backgrounds, races, ethnicity, and how they didn't see differences  but commonality. The commonality was they were all football men, Chicago Bears, one a coach/owner, the other two players. They had a common goal, win football games for the Chicago Bears. Actually, maybe win a few games for the Bears, because in the late 1960's the Bears weren't a very good team. Gale Sayers was one of the best running backs to ever play in the NFL, Brian Piccolo was second string all the way. He had the heart and determination better than not only of most in the NFL, but better than 99% of the citizens in the United States. Nothing stopped that guy except cancer. Brian Piccolo was pre Jimmy V, there was no ESPN in his time, But, his message, Gale's message, George Halas's message was eloquently told in the TV movie, &qu
