Invictus and Reconciliation Day


If you had dropped by our house this week, you would have been likely to hear something about the movie Invictus. Dave and I went to the movies on Monday to see it, and we felt like we'd been transported to South Africa for a couple of hours.  The movie tells the true story of the way Nelson Mandela overcome prejudice and pressure to unite South Africans in support of their rugby team. It is amazing when a movie tells a story you would have liked to tell, but so much better than you ever could have. As a result of this movie we've found ourselves discussing Mandela in depth, marveling at God's providence in South Africa's history, and deciding to learn the South African National Anthem. We believe that God used Mandela (for all his flaws) to live out forgiveness and lead boldly. This movie would be a great one to watch as a family on Reconciliation Day, one of the South African public holidays.
