Though None Go With Me

"On the day of her granddaughter's departure to California -- in the company of her rock musician boyfriend -- Elizabeth Leroy Bishop (Cheryl Ladd) tries to tell her the story of how she came to spend her life in the town of Three Rivers, and the rewards she has received from that life. We flash back to 1950, just after Elizabeth's mother died of cancer -- of college age, Elizabeth (Amy Grabow) comes home to live with her physician father (Christopher Allport), and meets the young associate pastor Ben Phillips (Brad Rowe), who is newly arrived in town. Elizabeth is heavily involved with the life of the church, and the two quickly become friends and more. Ben eventually asks Elizabeth to marry him; but first he must fulfill his obligation as a minister, to serve as an army chaplain in Korea. A series of tragedies test Elizabeth's faith over the ensuing 50 years, and just as she reaches a point of beginning to understand what she sees as God's plan for her, two unexpected events await."


If you are looking for something to lift your faith I highly recommend this movie! There were a couple of lines in the movie that touched my heart and I have been thinking on them both since I first saw this movie two days ago.

The first is the saying, "Though none go with me still I will follow. No turning back, no turning back!" I took this to mean that no matter what happens in my life and even if I am the only one that is willing, I will follow God and do what he wants in my life!

The second line that really hit home was, "You have made a commitment to God, NOT a bargain." If things are not going our way we tend to look at God and say, "Lord this is not what I had in mind!" Well, guess what, it is what HE has in mind and He knows what is right for us! We must always remember to stay commited to Him in our lives at all costs, not just when it is convenient or when things are going our way!

This movie will really make you think and look at the way you are living your life. Be sure to bring along a box of kleenex and of couurse, an open heart and willing ears!
