This picture hangs in my office... at church. Yes. At church. I have pictures of Jesus, photos of my wife and kids, sculptures of prayer, a crown of thorns, and an autographed picture of Father Francis Mulcahy, but standing proudly next to my desk- against the wall- is this picture.
It was the summer of 1975... and I stopped swimming in our pool.
"Pastor, you have a framed picture of a horror movie in your office..." somebody once said. Since then, I have been eagerly awaiting to give answer to anyone who asks (of course, I didn't have a great answer the first time it was mentioned).
Now, I just quote Scripture: Philippians 3:14- "Press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called you heavenward in Christ Jesus."
Heaven is my home, and the place Jesus has prepared for me is being readied. So I press on. This picture from Jaws inspires me. So when people ask why it's on my wall, I simply say, "Press on toward the goal... even when the goal seems to be pressing on toward you."
Are there any unusual movie moments that have inspired you?
