Good News - December 2019

I love the original cartoon version of “The Grinch.” Maybe because my introver- sion desperately longs for quiet. As to my favorite scene, I love it when the Grinch’s heart grows three sizes and breaks that heart measuring device. Samuel Lamerson, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Biblical Studies, Knox Theological Seminary We love watching lots of Christmas shows but one of the ones that we watch over and over is “White Christmas.” One of the many things I love about that movie is the great lengths the men went to honor their commander: it shows loyalty, honor, commitment and Love. Sue Trombino, Founder, Women Impacting the Nation This is an easy one for us: “Elf.” Greatest (or at least most entertaining) Christmas movie ever. Favorite line: “You sit on a throne of lies.” Tom Hendriske, Senior Pastor, Rio Vista Church I was 10 years old when I saw “White Christmas.” I can remember that snowy day outside a little theater in Pennsylvania and being in awe of that iconic film.
