1917

The Academy Awards, that is the Oscars, will happen soon.  I love the Red Carpet venue the best.  I think that the movie "1917" is going to win best picture.  It has some gruesome scenes, but it is worth seeing, and on the big screen.  I mean it is a World War.  Two guys are given the task of bringing a message to a group of soldiers far across the battle zones, to tell them that they are about to be ambushed.  One soldier says it is a waste, being too dangerous and impossible to get through all the enemy lines.  The other fellow presses on.  The doubter's life is saved by his companion, and this changes him.  He becomes all in, even after his friend is killed.  Alone, he pushes on until...go see the movie.  My point is that when someone is willing to put himself in danger's way to save you, it can transform you from a doubter, or self-serving person, or a fear-based person, into someone who would give their life for another.  Sometimes you are not even aware that you are loving.  You are just putting one foot in  front of the other.  Extraordinary things can happen. I mean the guy went over the waterfall and into the raging river.  And the movie is a true story.
