Dumb
and Dumber is my favorite movie. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's in the top five
favorite movies of all time for every dude between the ages of 25 to 45 in
America.
Dumb and Dumber has
to be the most quoted movie in cinema history. I mean when was the last time you were
at a party and someone said one line from the movie and the next thing you
know, it's 30 minutes later and dudes from all over the room are sitting at a
table spouting out famous phrases from Lloyd and Harry.
In fact, you
just had a quote from the movie come to your mind didn't you? See...it's amazing!
I love this movie. I mean what better example of how we should live in constant pursuit of Jesus is there than Lloyd Christmas's passionate pursuit of Mary Swenson, Swanson, Samsonite? I mean this guy quits his job, kills a pet parakeet, jumps in a shaggin waggin and heads across the country to find his love. Sure he is mentally challenged a tad bit deranged and a sexual deviant, but those things aside, he really wants to be close to Mary (which is a good thing except for the fact she's married).
Ok, so he's not the perfect example, however, with all the things we let keep us from drawing close to Jesus each day, maybe we should be a little more like Lloyd (minus the mental issues and killing of kids pets).
I guess what I’m trying to say is, in your own personal way, stop making excuses, jump in your ’84 Sheep Dog, grab a couple of big gulps and head out on a spiritual road trip to meet with Jesus. Who knows you might just get 50 miles a gallon on this Hog.
