Way Out

We have been having snow every week it seems. At Community our church snow policy is to follow our local school closings. Needless to say we have had quite a few snow days this year and all this open time on Wednesday nights called for a substitute, heaven forbid I stop for two seconds.

Snow Wednesdays have been deemed, Automatic Movie Nights. My good friend Erin B. and I go to see a movie and often invite others along. This is a great new tradition but it has become a little expensive this snowy winter. I digress.

This past Wednesday, we went to see The King's Speech. Warning: Adults only for language. But if you can get past the language which thankfully was limited to a few scenes, this is an amazing movie. I learned so much and was very inspired to learn more of King George or Bertie as his family called him. All of that to say there was one scene that a background item caught my attention. The exit sign read, "Way Out." I found this fascinating.

In life I have never once thought, "I need an exit from life." But I have often wished for a "way out." As I thought of this idea more it occurred to me that neither are acceptable. The "way out" is really only a hallway or a door to another place. We must deal with the situation in the room to ever really change things.
