Who Would Have Thought...

a10209i0_Barnyard-250 I caught the last 1/3  of the cartoon Barnyard tonight with the kids. Who would have thought it had such deep stuff... For those without kids, and those who have never seen it... read more here.

"a strong man stands up for himself, a stronger man stands up for others" --Otis the Cow

As I was watching this.. it reminded me of the call on my life to pastor Revolution Church. When God calls... we are to look out for those placed under our care.

In the movie, several of the chickens were captured to be devoured by the coyotes. Otis had to make the choice to do what was easiest for him (quit and let it go) or to go into the pit and fight for those poor souls captured by the enemy.

There are tons of people in Florence that are captured in a pit and they do not even realize it. God has called us to show others the hope that only Jesus can provide. It is up to me and you to be a stronger man (or woman) and stand up for them. Put ourselves aside for others.

Who would have ever thought God would use this movie to drive home His vision???  The Lord truly does work in mysterious ways!

(now... switching gears a bit...)

When the cows and other animals jumped on the Harley's and other nice looking bikes, and soared down the road while "Slow Ride" was playing... For some reason, I thought about David Putman @ Evolve.

 

One final thought...

 

WHY IN THE WORLD DOES A MALE COW NAMED OTIS HAVE UDDERS?!?!?!

Why does this male cow have utters? It's simple... the creators of this show "don't know a hill of beans about cows!!" Probably don't know much about animals, period!!

Chris,

First, I would like to say thank you for the blogs. I receive a blessing every time I read them. I watched "Barnyard" with my husband, Robert and my grandson, Ethan and thoroughly enjoyed it. I must agree that it did have a good message. In fact, all you need to do is throw in a few scriptures and you have a good sermon. In reference to your comment regarding the cow's udders; We were also curious as to why Otis had udders. So, to satisfy our curiosity, I looked it up on Google and this what I found; The udders on the "male cows" aren't meant to be gender characteristics: they are just props for generating laughs. Steve Oedekerk, the creator of "Barnyard," has said that he simply finds udders to be funny. (Google.com)

In Christ,
Cheryl
