Charlotte's Web still rocks

Charlotte's Web cover.jpgThis afternoon I watched an exceptional movie that I haven't seen in years, "Charlotte's Web," based on the 1952 famed book by the same name by E.B. White.

The movie I saw was the 2006 version with a star cast of speakers. Do you remember the animal cast?

Charlotte - the spider
Wilbur - the pig
Templeton - the rat
Uncle - the rival pig in the county fair

Terrific, Radiant, Humble

I've always admired E.B. White's novel for its portrayal of the beauty of friendship among those who ordinarily wouldn't share friendship --the outcasts and the very unusuals, and I don't mean among the animals. The animated friendship the animals exhibit is the real friendship we all desire to share among family and friends, especially those of the extend type, too. We are given each other for a purpose. The question is, do we have the capacity to expand our hearts to let others in? Have had an experience of an unexpected someone being a terrific, radiant and humble friend given by Christ for companionship?
