I finally saw it for the first time tonight and loved this movie. Not just because of my Scottish heritage, and not just because it was an outdoor movie on a beautiful summer evening by the lake.

I loved Brave because of the themes of building and nurturing strong relationships, of caring for others, of listening to and learning to understand one another, of learning from our (and others') mistakes, of the value of peace in communities, and of goodness winning over darkness.
My theme for this year is courage. I want to be courageous in the face of darkness and to use my life to foster strong relationships, caring communities, and peace on earth.
God, help me to be brave.
