Friday night changed on a dime when our generous daughter phoned to say that she was treating us to a night out at the movies. After making our way to seats one and two on row J, Larry and I settled back with popcorn and drinks for a heartwarming, gut-wrenching film of sports world drama. Two hours later, we left those seats overwhelmed with the timeless power of a dream and the supernatural impact of perseverance to pursue it.
The Hill portrays the true story of a young Texas boy, Rickey Hill, who desperately wants to play baseball. His most formidable enemies are not just the cruel bullies on the baseball diamond, but also the cruel ideas of his legalistic pastor father.
The talent of Colin Ford, Dennis Quaid, Joelle Carter, Bonnie Bedelia, and Randy Houser bring to life the narrative which takes place in the 1960’s. Dilapidated houses and broken-down cars stand aside to make way for a boy who has God on his side and fire in his bones.
“In his perfection He handed me two gifts — preaching with fire and playing by the power of his hand. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” - Rickey Hill
Thank you, Rickey Hill.
Living With Eternal Intentionality®
“And this is eternal life, that they may know You the only true God, and Jesus Christ
whom You have sent” (John 17:3).
“God has put eternity in the human heart — not just the thought of the everlasting, but the things of eternity. Our truest desires are deep and lasting. Our purpose is centered in the eternal King. Our future is integrally tied into the story He is writing. And our hearts are constantly looking for connections with that story.” - Chris Tiegreen
