I love that movie, it’s funny, it’s dark, it’s entertaining. Somehow, I missed that whole “sacrifice” theme the first time. Interesting how all things as of late in my life seem to point to God, my faith, the Cross, Christianity, Grace … Suprising, for me, anyway.

Seymour has NO choice but to sacrifice himself for Audrey II.

Wow, is that how Jesus felt? When HE was pleading with the Father in the garden that the cup be passed, was HE really hoping that that it would be passed, or, did HE love us sooooooooooooooo much that HE knew that it would not be passed and that HE would have to “jump headfirst to HIS death?”

Sacrifice … been thinking a lot about that as I have been evaluating the “ministries” that I have been involved in. Sacrifice, giving up of my time and my resources for God’s kingdom, or, doing it because I “like” doing this particular thing and I get joy from it … Sacrifice, is it?

Sacrifice … not having a choice, but doing it out of great love, sacrifice because there is not other remedy … Surprise!
