Jesus Christ loves me, and I love Him and people. English professor by day and a book reader by night. I aspire to make much of Jesus and His Gospel.

“And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves, and raise you from your graves, O my people” (Ezekiel 37:13).

[Leigh Hickman @profleigh7]

Beautiful cinematography, committed performances by Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard, and direction that never lets the audience forget “that this is a movie” make Annette rare and uncomfortably pointed at the soul.

[Leigh Hickman @profleigh7]

Annette works like a Flannery O’Connor grotesque story to show distorting, self-destroying power of our attraction to the abyss of self-love.

[Leigh Hickman @profleigh7]

When a person makes an idol of his power and control, he becomes an ape of God, a loveless mimic of the loving God. People who should be loved become objects to manipulate.

[Leigh Hickman @profleigh7]

Film Thought: The film musical, Annette, is impossible to decode apart from a biblical worldview. It’s a surreal portrait of the real violence of idolatry. Here, the metaphor becomes literal.

@mrbobodenkirk I’m praying for you, Bob! I’m grateful for your life.

2-year-old Rilian told me he loved me for the first time today…twice. He crawled into my bed to cuddle, turned to look at me, and said, “I love you.” If anyone wants to get in touch with me, they can’t cuz I’m dead now. #TharAunt

@DrJosephMatos Truth BOMB!

“My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness. I dare not trust the sweetest frame but wholly lean on Jesus’ name” (Robert Chritchley).

[Leigh Hickman @profleigh7]

@DrJosephMatos I’ll check it out. I’ve watched part of it so far. So far it’s like ZeffIrelli’s Jesus of Nazareth...if it was done really lame and poorly.

[Leigh Hickman @profleigh7]

Gratitude: I’m blessed to be able to teach and love students. Despite the challenges of this particular time in history, I’m confirmed in my calling to support students and learn with them. It’s not always fun, but it is always a kind blessing from God in my life.

[Gina Carano 🕯 @ginacarano]

Thank you all for the love and support coming in from all over. We’ll stick together and make genuine loving change in this world. I believe. ❤️

@ginacarano I’ve loved you since I was a little girl. You’re my favorite character on @themandalorian. I hope you come back. You’re irreplaceable and a wonderful presence in that story. I love so much you, Crush.

[Leigh Hickman @profleigh7]

@Disney, your choice to fire Gina Carano sucks. Other than Baby Yoda, she’s my favorite part of @themandalorian. I’m heartbroken.

“The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent” (Exodus 14:14).

“The church is more than a bundle of ideals, as these younger fellows seem to believe. It’s more than a spiritual Boy Scout troop. The church is a Force...and one does not set a Force in motion lightly” (Stephen King, Salem’s Lot).

But sir, for the sake of the greater good, please record audiobooks. People need you to read to them. Also, you’re welcome to come to Thanksgiving. Yours respectfully, Tee-Leigh.
