Movies of Love
by johngdow | created - 29 Jun 2013 | updated - 21 Sep 2013 | PublicLove does not always mean romance. Love is also choice and sacrifice.
What do you value more? Your life, their life, your dream, their dream, your duty, their duty.
Do you see possessions and relationships as power or responsibility?
What do you love? The answer is in a question. What do you protect?
You will notice the lack of modern Hollywood movies.
there is only one so far in this list. I challenge people to suggest more to me.

Love vs Fear of God.
this movie brought up an interesting issue, God and Love in your life.
What does God mean to you. It will affect how you love.
God of Love or God of Anger
God of Mercy or God of Punishment
A jail warden or a father and friend.
people ask why is there so much hurt in the world?
We do bad things,sin. you lie no believes you any more.
you get drunk, you do things that you are ashamed of and people lose respect for you. This makes you weak. When you want to do something good: this is held against you, not by God but by Man.
There is a law of science, two things can not be in the same place at same time. this is true of helping people or hurting your self.
when you are hurting your self and others, you can not be helping them to.
remember when you did something wrong as a kid and you were an edge, afraid your parents might find out, wishing you could hide but can't. I think people view God like that. Instead of telling God about it and being forgiven, they just keep adding more pain and more shame until they can not live with them self. Punishing themselves over and over again. God of Love or a God of Anger witch one you believe dictates your life.
