Church Bells

 There's one scene I love in Disney's Fantasia. The last scene depicts a devil-like creature (horns, black, red pits for eyes, black wings), rising from his spot on Bald Mountain and drawing out the dead spirits from the nearby graveyard. They're dancing and flames of fire are climbing around them. It's demonic.
Then church bells are heard in the distance. The devil winces and waits; his activities are on a pause. The bells sound again. And again. Each time, he winces and shrinks back. Then Ave Maria starts, quietly then gradually gets louder. The spirits go back to their graves. And Satan goes back into his mountain form. No more Night On Bald Mountain. Only the Light remains.     

"Boring" Testimonies

 For me, I dislike the concept of "if you've been a Christian your whole life, you have a boring testimony". Just because I accepted Jesus into my heart when I was a little girl just doesn't mean that life has been smooth. It doesn't mean that Jesus hasn't had to save me. Just because you've known Jesus your whole life and you were raised in a Christian home your whole life, does not equal a boring testimony. Jesus doesn't do anything that can be rendered down to "boring". If your testimony has been, "I've known Jesus my whole life", THAT IS NOT BORING. JESUS IS NOT BORING. HE IS RADICAL LOVE.
