Last night Ken and I watched the movie, Revolutionary Road. Powerful movie. Any women or man looking for the next house, job, child, bible study, or thing to run to for worth and fulfillment - watch the movie. The movie shows what happens when 2 souls stop pursuing each other and pursue something else(including children)...ultimately they choose disaster for themselves and an empty pit to land in.
The movie makes me think of an article Ken recently gave me by Tim Keller, "Hell"
In short, Tim Keller states we choose hell each day when we choose to serve ourselves and not others...and when we choose ourselves we ultimately create a living hell because we are never going to be satisfied and eventually become so self absorbed we kill our souls. His article could have been read on the movie.
Anyone who knows our family well, knows we are going through our own Revolutionary Road...Without knowing it at the time, but now able to see it, 10 years ago Ken and I were on the road looking for the next big house in a manicured suburb...Somehow God grabbed our hearts and let us watch other peoples hell burst so we didn't have to keep digging our empty hole.
I hope all of our Revolutionary Roads are roads of revival not dead end roads. It is natural for any marriage, regardless of beliefs, to turn into empty pits if 2 people are not intentional to keep a marriage on sweet fire.
Sweet blessings as I keep my road with Ken sweet each day and nothing less!
