Media Monday: I Can Only Imagine

Good afternoon, everyone!

Today, in addition to my RBY post, I also have a movie recommendation!

My recommendation today is I Can Only Imagine.

It's the story of Bart Millard's life, and how Mercy Me came to be a band. It's about how they struggled, as well as how their first number one song came to be. It's a story of hope and forgiveness.

And I'm not the least ashamed to tell you that I cried at the end. Not just because the movie was good, either.

I mean, the first few notes of the song played, and I was gone. I hit my bed face-down in worship, and I had to rewind the movie so that I could watch the last part of it.

I love music, and this song has always been an inspiration to me. And to finally learn how it came about...wow. Just wow.

One other thing I will say and then I'll let you go watch the movie - because I know you will now. Right?

It's easy for me to find good movies. It's easy for me to find inspirational movies. And songs. It's very difficult for me to find a movie that inspires me throughout, and then uses a song to catapult me so deeply into God's presence that it's a while before I come out.

And it's an amazing experience.

I hope you enjoy the movie, whether it has the same affect on you or not. It truly is an inspirational story.
