The film is about two young runners, Eric Liddell and Harold Abrahams, who aspire to run for Britain in the Olympics. Liddell runs for God's pleasure, while Abrahams runs for his own pleasure. It's a message of doing all things for God's glory and not for our own. The message I receive from the movie was that when you 'run' with faith, you can accomplish anything you set your mind to.

    about who invented the stirrup, they do know an abundance about the stirrup itself. The stirrup seems like such a minor detail in the scheme of things, but it dramatically changed the world into what it is today. The stirrup was invented for the purpose of stability of the knight in battle. Its uses are never ceasing: from pulling chariots, to riding for pleasure and show.

Among…

    like an earthworm that salt had been poured on; until I felt comfortable. Soon, I was on a flying chariot going to dreamland. I opened my eyes slowly, waking up from sleep. I was greeted by darkness. I groped in the cloud of darkness, shaping my hands around whatever I touched, like a potter. From the feeling of the objects I touched and my memory of a few hours back, I realized I was still in the car. I felt for the car door and opened it. Outside, all I could see was darkness.…
