Tapping into the CHEROKEE in Me

I'm only part Cherokee indian (about 1.75lbs worth)- but I tap into every bit I can.
Here's an old Cherokee story my father passed along to me...

"One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two "wolves" inside us all.

One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence,empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed.""

A Second Chance

It wasn't until 3 days after my TBN sighting of Michael W. Smith that the tunes from my formative Christian years finally stopped playing in my head. It was a blessing and a curse all at the same time.

For those of you that aren't clued in, Michael W. Smith recently made his lead role debut in a movie that wasn't half bad.

I was recently visiting one of my best friends in Vegas when he said to me one, "Have you seen Michael W. Smith's movie?"
I laughed with an "Are you serious?!" type look on my face.
"You've got to watch it."
I looked in disbelief as Jeremy actually thumbed through his DVD collection & pulled a copy of a movie I had never heard of- "The Second Chance."

Was he serious? Did Michael W. Smith really star in a movie? Did Jeremy really have this movie? And were we seriously going to watch this movie right now?
The answer was: Yes; yes; yes; and, yes.

Over the next 2 hours I was once again sucked in to another Michael W. Smith project in which I couldn't avert my attention. I was impressed. The Second Chance is an honest and real story of American Christianity & some of her struggles.

If you get an opportunity, definitely give Smitty a second chance & see his movie. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

Check out information on The Second Chance movie.

oh & fyi- Smitty turns 51 on October 7th... that's staying power
