Movie Review

This weekend I borrowed some kid movies from one of my fellow teachers. Between the power lifting meet and trying to stop the leak in my apartment; I got to relax and watch them all. The one I want to talk about today is "The Seeker." If you have not seen this movie I would suggest it. It is a wonderful family movie. It is about a boy who is called "the seeker" and he is stuck in this timeless battle between light and darkness. The seeker is suppose to find the six hidden signs that have been place through out time. (If you don't want to know the ending I suggest you stop reading now.) He has only five days to find all the signs or darkness will have gained it's full power and there will be no stopping it. Key part I left out the seeker is only 14 years old and he is the 7th son of a 7th son. (Okay the ending is coming last chance to turn back) The fifth day comes and he only has five signs and does not know where to find the sixth. Darkness has come and is consuming everything and everyone. (okay last, last chance...) This is when he discovers that he, his soul, is the last sign. He brings back the light and easily defeats the darkness. The reason I really enjoyed this movie is because it is a perfect picture of good verse evil in our life. We are young Christians and sometimes it seems like the darkness is starting to consume us, all we need to do is remember that we hold the light inside of us. Christ said " I am the way, the truth, and the light." With Christ on our side it does not matter how big or small, how young or old we are,; there is nothing that can stand in our way. This is not to say that those hard times will not come when darkness tricks us or seems like it is closing in. Those times will come. What you need to remember is that a little light goes a long way. So go find a super dark room stand there in the darkness for a while then light a match or to be safe a candle or flashlight will work. See how that small amount of light makes such a difference. Now apply that to the work. We are the light and sin/evil is the darkness. Your light can help save those around you. So like the song goes "this little light of mine I'm gonna let it shine, let it shine, let it shine." Come shine with me!!!
