If you can, take 20 minutes to watch this short film by the Doorpost Film Project (and the 'Behind the Scenes' footage that follows). I think this is a must see film! Hope you all agree. --Steve---

It was indeed my pleasure to put forward such a beautifully inspiring piece. Thanks for taking the time to watch it! --Steve--

I didn't have to register when I first saw the film (at the address I posted). It may have since changed, or perhaps you are seeing a pre-ad that you could [CANCEL] or [CLOSE] to pass thru the 'gate'. I tried it again this morning and I was not required to register.
Then again, with my memory these days, perhaps I DID register initially and the site now recognizes my IP address.
Perhaps EH has better recall and can advise as to whether he had to register. --Steve--

"A man -- if you could even call him that -- who even God Himself has turned His back upon!"
Any person who believes that sentence is even possible is no believer in God. And what's truly funny is I'm NOT a believer in God, and I think that sentence is impossible.
As a bit of backstory: During the late 1960s and early 1970s in Toronto, there was a gay dance club -- no booze, just dancing -- on Toronto's main street. And once in a while, during August and before Labour Day, that club would get a rather different sort of visitor. Her name was "Dainty Dora." She was the fat lady from the Canadian National Exhibition. Full disclosure, I actually saw Dora at the "Ex," in the Freak Show, and met her at the club (it was called the "511" because it was at 511 Yonge Street). So this is a very real, very true story to which I bear personal witness.
I leave it to you all to contemplate why Dora felt comfortable -- for a brief period of an evening -- in such a place, where she couldn't even stand up to dance, and there wouldn't have been anyone who was interested in her as what she wanted to be (just a woman).
For those of you who need a hint, however, acceptance of people's differences can be a powerful thing. I wonder what Jesus would have thought?
