Interestingly I saw this today, and thank God for helping me to ( try) keeping the stories short and still make the point how God moves. Thank you so much, Alex

    The key feature in any good movie is when someone who has a great drive and determination to accomplish a great feat but is lacking knowledge, until he meets up with a wiser one who is able to offer him the insights and fortunately the opportunity presents itself in a mysterious way. When Destiny is reached, purpose is fulfilled and we all celebrate with the one who changed our perspective of how good Trump's evil with the mindset of selflessness.
