For those of you who know me in real life, you know that I am not the type to buy DVDs very often. Most of the 15 or so that I own are gifts. However, I have decided to buy a documentary that I watched yesterday. "The Conscientious Objector" a film about a WWII medic, Desmond Doss, who believed it is against his religion to kill, but chose to stay in the army and help the wounded. For his bravery in the Pacific he was awarded the Medal of Honor. (They don't give those out for just anything, most of the time you have to die in order to get it.)
www.desmonddoss.com Take a look around and read his story, although what is on the website is not near the story presented on the film. I have to warn you, I bawled my way through this film.
About Me
- Misplaced Texan
- I am a flailing woman swimming in a sea of grace, committed to leading a thoughtful life of faith. I encourage other grace swimmers to thoughtfully consider their lives so that we can more fully enjoy the grace and love of God. Sometimes this looks like a book review, sometimes it looks like a recipe to make you life easier. Most of the time, it looks like sitting around a table with your favorite hot drink and encouraging each other. I was born and raised throughout Texas, but have been wandering since marrying my husband. We currently live near Charlotte, North Carolina. One of my favorite things to do is grab a coffee, or a tea, or a hot chocolate, and get to know people. This is a place to share life and the table. I have 3 children, my table is messy, but please come anyway.
