On the subject of college football... Have you ever seen the movie Rudy? I love that movie. I am NOT a football fan, but I love that movie. It's so inspiring and encouraging, and it's about football, but it's about more than football. It's about chasing your dreams and putting in hard work. It's just so beautiful. I know your post here is about literature, but something prompted me to mention this movie. Hope I'm not being cheeky here.
Not cheeky at all, Melisa. Rudy is a favorite in our home. Right up there with Remember the Titans. The theme of Rudy is very much pulsing through the heart of this post. As it is our family's life right now. And, as you so aptly pointed out, without maybe meaning to, it is the power of the story well told, that brings to vibrant life those lessons that Rudy so beautifully shows in a way that can plant themselves inside us.
