"Oh Happy Day"

Recently we watched Secretariat on $2.00 movie night at the Fox Five. I loved it, and everyone else did too. The movie theater was filled with familiar faces, from herbie residents, class-mates from my ag classes, and members of the rodeo team. Horses are a pretty popular topic around these parts!

The movie told the story of a Colorado house wife, Mrs. Penny Chenery, and a horse named Secretariat or lovingly named "Big Red". I don't want to go into detail about the movie, in case you already saw it, or plan on watching it soon. (I highly recommend it!)

There are a few bible verses reference in the movie, that I love. Which really sum up most of the movie.

Job 39:19-24

"(19) Do you give the horse his strenght? Do you clothe his neck with a flowing mane? (20) Do you make him leap like a locust, striking terror with his proud snorting? (21) He paws fiercely, rejoicing in his strength, and charges into the fray. (22) He laughs at fear, afraid of nothing; he does not shy away form the sword. (23) The quiver rattles against his side, along with the flashing spear and lance. (24) In frenzied excitement he eats up the ground; he cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds."

2 Timothy 4:7

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."
