Those classic 80s kids’ movies that you remember so fondly? Turns out they aren’t kid movies at all – woah!
There’s a strange blessing that comes with understanding stuff was wacky back in the day too (Eccl. 7:10). We can remember how God was with us in the middle of that craziness, and be reassured that He’s able to sustain us in today’s clown world too.
