Which Reminds Me

Yes, who can forget the stirring and inspirational movie, "Ran Baby Run," in which Pat Boone played the role of preacher Dave Wilkerson and the role of Nicky Cruz was performed by the famed actor, Eric Estrada, who is also remembered for his later role as a CHIP highway officer riding a motorcycle. In El Salvador our church sponsored a special showing of the movie at the Cine Vieytez, if I remember that rightly, and there were many church people there filling the theater to see that rarely sanctioned media. So that was nice that there is a way of salvation, maybe, potentially, for all of these drug addicted hoodlums who might otherwise be roaming the streets aimlessly with nowhere to go. We read the books so we know that the Teen Challenge organization is a good thing to have in its proper place and context. If only they could hear the good news, then maybe they could get saved, if only they had ears to hear, if only there was a time and a place for explaining it to them.
