In 1954 Judy Garland and James Mason starred in A Star is Born. In 1976 Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson played the leading roles, and now in 2018 Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper have assumed the roles for A Star is Born. Each movie captured the audience and received rave reviews. The newest version is currently amazing theater goers with very diverse roles for Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. (Even Bradley Cooper’s own, personal dog has a role in the movie.) Jobs well done!
King Herod did not give rave reviews to the news he received that “a STAR was born.” He instead went into panic mode. Humble shepherds lauded the arrival of the newborn. The magi followed a “STAR” to see the newest STAR on earth and worshipped Him with their gifts. The reviews were quite varied, but the world as it was definitely began to stir.
Our gift was not theater tickets, but rather a front row, personal introduction to the brightest most powerful STAR we can behold. God in his omnipotence presented himself through prophets for ages, in human form to thousands and in spirit form to live within you forever. How magnificent!
If actors playing their roles can stir you, cause you to reflect, introduce a new idea, then you will be powerfully stirred, deep in reflection and “blown away” by the STAR of David, The Light from the East, The Spirit Within.
No popcorn needed, you have a front row seat. God loves you unconditionally and anxiously waits for you to take your front row seat and invite His STAR to reside in you and direct your pathways for eternity.

Jill, everytime I read one of your blogs I think it can’t get any better. Well, I’m wrong. It just got better.
God loves us, me unconditionally, thank you for reminding me of that, helps so much to get through the day and life. I did see the movie, thought the acting great, chemistry b/tween Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper very evident, unconditional love for certain present in this story. Bless you for your blogs.
Love,
Cindy
